Chapter 274

Matthew changed the subject without a trace. “There are too many people.”

Valerie had been observing Matthew’s expression. When she saw nothing wrong with Matthew’s expression, she heaved a sigh of relief. Valerie had thought Matthew had said something to Charles, and Charles had helped her behind her back. “If that’s the case, I’ll be a privileged person in the eyes of others, Valerie thought.

“Since that’s not the case, she said, “Mr. Grant, you’d better explain this to Mr. Hudson tomorrow. If word gets back to him, it’ll be too awkward”

Moreover, she was worried that Charles would have a problem with Matthew and affect his work.

However, she still felt that these rumors were ridiculous. She said, “These people are too much. I can’t believe they said that I have a backer. Why don’t they exaggerate it and say I’m related to the boss of Noria Group? Wouldn’t it be more exciting to

y that I’m an illegitimate daughter wandering outside?”

The corners of Matthew’s mouth inadvertently twitched. The boss of Noria Group. Isn’t that me? Moreover, why did she say that I’m old? I can’t possibly have an illegitimate daughter of her age.

However, he agreed with Valerie in his heart. “Indeed, since those people have already spread rumors, why don’t they spread them about me? Instead, they forcefully linked my wife to Charles Matthew was inexplicably unhappy at the thought.

He continued to drive forward but noticed that Aiden had been looking at him and Valerie with a puzzled expression since just now.

Valerie noticed it too and asked, “What’s wrong?”

Aiden hesitated. “Miss Warren, you two are married. Why did you call him Mr. Grant?”

Aiden blinked his big eyes curiously. His eyes were filed with confusion.

This question stumped Valerie. She still remembered to change how she addressed Matthew in front of Sophia and Julian. but Valerie forgot about it when she was relaxed in front of Aiden.

She was extremely embarrassed and looked at Matthew awkwardly. She wanted Matthew to help her out. However, she did, not expect Matthew to look at her indifferently. There was a teasing look in his deep eyes. “Yes, why are you calling me Mr. Grant?”

Valerie was speechless, thinking, “He did it on purpose!”

Seeing that her cheeks were getting redder, Matthew appreciated it for a few seconds with interest and finally let her go. He rubbed Aiden’s head and said, “Let’s not talk about that. Aiden, what do you want to cat? My treat!”

As expected, Aiden’s attention was immediately attracted when he heard something about food. He chuckled and said, “I originally wanted to eat fried chicken, but since it’s Mr. Grant’s treat, I won’t stand on ceremony. Can I eat anything I want?” His eyes were big and round. When he looked at Matthew eagerly with his watery eyes, he was as cute as a puppy.

Matthew’s expression softened unconsciously. “Sure.”

“Really? In the past, when I was at home, my mother always said that I couldn’t eat this or that. I’ve always had something I wanted to eat. My classmates have all eaten it. Aiden licked his lips.

Then, he continued. “The last time I attended a classmate’s birthday party, I took a bite of that. But I only ate it once. Later, I asked my mother to bring me there, but she refused. She said children shouldn’t be picky about food and drinks, but I want to eat that. Mr. Grant, can I eat it?”

Matthew saw the yearning look on Aiden’s face through the rear fiew mirror. There was no reason for him to refuse. “Of course. What shop is it? Tell me the name,” said Matthew.

Aiden said, “Ahem. I can’t remember the shop’s name, but I know how to get there. Mr. Grant, turn around now and I’ll instruct you to drive, okay?”

Valerie found it a little funny. She thought, ‘What exactly does he want to eat? He’s so mysterious. He even refused to tell us the shop’s name.

However, she was relieved when she thought about how Aiden, still sad yesterday, seemed to have changed into a different person today. Valerie thought, ‘It’s better to see him smile than cry. Children have to maintain their innocence. If he can forget about the things at home, it will be a good thing for him.

Matthew was thinking the same thing. Aiden had been commanding them the entire time, so Matthew followed Aiden’s instructions. However, he had a feeling that the location Aiden was leading them to would probably shock them.

“Mr. Grant, turn left and drive to that road. There’s a parking lot in front. Stop there. We can walk there. The parking lot there is free!” said Aiden.

Upon hearing Aiden’s words, Valerie could not help but laugh. Aiden even knows how to save money!”

Valerie was stunned when they left the car and realized this was one of the top 100 shopping malls. Valerie couldn’t help but think, “Could it be that he ate here last time? The standard of his classmate’s birthday party was so high. It was too much! The restaurant here is quite famous, so the price is naturally not low. A meal here will cost at least 40 dollars for each person. However, since Aiden wants to eat so much, it’s not too much to satisfy his wish. Just as Valerie was about to pull Aiden upstairs, Aiden unexpectedly pulled the two of them to a shop and pointed at that place. “This is it!”

Valerie was dumbfounded. “McDonald’s?”

Aiden nodded his little head vigorously. “Yes, yes, it’s McDonald’s. I like McDonald’s!”

After saying that, he looked at Valerie and Matthew pitifully. “Miss Warren, Mr. Grant, you promised me just now. You won’y suddenly go back on your word, right?”

Valerie felt that she would be committing a crime if she rejected him. She did not know whether to laugh or cry. Matthew had expected this. This little guy deliberately kept us in suspense and refused to tell us. I knew that the restaurant he wanted. to eat was where his mother wouldn’t allow him to go.

The three of them entered the McDonald’s. Aiden was jumping around. Valerie didn’t want him to fall, so she could only hold his hand. When she returned to her senses, she found many people were sizing them up. Valerie followed their gaze and looked around. Only then did Valerie realize everyone was not looking at her but Matthew.

For some reason, though many people wore formal clothes in the burger shop like Matthew, Matthew looked more out of place than them, which was no wonder the people around him could not help but size him up.

Matthew frowned slightly. Valerie knew Matthew didn’t like to be surrounded, so she quickly found an empty table and sat down.

Then, she asked Aiden what he liked to eat. When she went to the counter to order, she suddenly saw Matthew raise his hand to make a gesture.

“Ment, please,” said Matthew.

Valerie was instantly shocked. She was not the only one. Countless gazes around them looked over at Matthew again.

Matthew did not seem to know why others were looking at him. His cold brows furrowed slightly, and the pressure from his entire body made people not dare to look at him directly.

Valerie was the only exception. Valerie looked at him in surprise. After hesitating for a few seconds, she could not help but ask, “Mr. Grant, is this your first time eating McDonald’s?”

Matthew couldn’t help but think, ‘It is my first time. Is there a problem?”
