Marrying

Chapter 128

Valerie remembered that when she first moved in, Matthew had laid down the rules. She was not allowed to enter his room or interfere with his personal matters. But now, he gave her an opportunity and said he would listen to her suggestion.

It was such a rare opportunity to demand so not seize it, it would be a loss.

ang from Matthew. If Valerie did

“What if I told you not to see Miss Santos again?” Valerie didn’t want to break up the couple. She simply hoped their marriage deal could last for half a year and not end early.

Matthew answered without hesitation, “It’s very difficult.” In fact, he had been avoiding Lindsey, but Lindsey was everywhere. Even if he threw Lindsey back to the Santos family, she would not change.

Fine. Valerie thought about it again. “Then, why don’t we switch rooms?” Although their rooms faced south, because of the architectural design, not many parts of her room could catch the sunlight.

After getting pregnant, Valerie liked to stay in the sunlight more instead of being in the shade. She thought it might make her healthier during her pregnancy.

Matthew rejected Valerie again. He had adapted to the bed and the room. After moving into the house, it took him several days to get used to it. If he switched rooms with her, he would have to get used to it again.

Valerie was speechless. She could not help but grumble softly, “Mr. Grant, you’re very shameless.”

Matthew was bewildered.

Valerie couldn’t help but pout. “You want me to tell you my thoughts and I did. But you keep shooting them down. To put it bluntly, you didn’t plan to accept them after giving them due consideration.”

Matthew wanted to say that this was not what he meant, but Valerie’s two suggestions just now were indeed rejected by him. Even if he explained now, it would not be convincing.

Chapter 12h

Matthew’s eyebrows twitched. However, he was the one who made the promise. He had always been a man of his word and would not go ba on his word. So, he refocused and said straightforwardly, “How about this? No matter what suggestion you have next, I will try my best to accept i

“Try?” Valerie knew that it was rare for Matthew to give in. She looked at his cold face in amusement. Her eyes darted, and a trace of mischief flashed across her eyes. “How about this? I’ll make a very small request. Mr. Grant, when you’re with me, smile more.”

Good lord. When Valerie said that, Matthew’s face darkened even more. She didn’t know if it was her imagination.

Matthew opened his mouth. “No…”

Valerie knew Matthew was going to reject him again, so she quickly interrupted him and used his own words to stop him. “Mr. Grant, you just said that no matter what I suggest, you will try your best to accept it.”

After all, work was tiring enough. Every time Valerie saw Matthew’s cold face, she would feel inexplicable pressure.

Matthew relented. “Sure.” A gentleman would never go back on his word. He braced himself and agreed.

Valerie was instantly amused. Before Matthew could react, she placed two fingers on the corners of his mouth again and moved them up. She smiled. “Since you’ve. agreed, Mr. Grant, please smile now.”

Valerie’s fingertips were cold, and her hands were small, but she was quite bold.

Matthew looked at Valerie’s smug expression. He suddenly could not help but wonder if this was considered shooting himself in the foot.

After thinking about it, Matthew followed Valerie’s guidance with difficulty and the corners of his mouth twitched. At the same time, he could not help but think of an extremely serious problem. This restaurant was opposite Noria Group. If any of the Noria Group employees passed by and recognized him while he was being commanded to smile by a woman, his reputation would be ruined.

What infuriated Matthew further was that after Valerie finished tormenting him,
