Marrying

Matthew’s face immediately turned frosty. “Grandma, how can you allow her into the Grant family before you even know her background?” 

However, Sophia was determined in this matter, insisting, “I don’t know, but just for the fact that she risked her life to save me, she’s definitely a good girl!” 

She intended to express her gratitude properly, only to find that the girl had disappeared in the blink of an eye without any intention of taking advantage of the situation. Having lived for decades, Sophia was quite perceptive about people, and that girl was a keeper. Everyone desired to bring a good girl home. Sophia was no exception. She wanted the girl to marry her grandson. 

Matthew didn’t expect that after all the twists and turns, he’d end up back on the topic of his marriage. This time, it was even more uncomfortable because Sophia was using his guilt to force his hand. 

He said slowly, “I disagree with this marriage. Grandma, if you insist on doing so, I won’t help you find her.” He wouldn’t invite himself into trouble. This is from NôvelDrama.Org.

Sophia instantly turned furious at his words, snapping, “Well, If you won’t find her, I will! But when I do, you’d better be ready. 

For what? To repay a favor with marriage?‘ Matthew complained inwardly, his face as dark as a thundercloud. 

Sophia was typically impulsive. Once she made up her mind, she would stick to it no matter what. Her usual nagging about marriage was already enough to give Matthew a headache, but today she had gone so far to arrange a marriage for him. 

Nathan bid farewell to the spirited Sophia and, upon returning, couldn’t help but chuckle at the sight of Matthew’s utterly grimy face, joking, “Matthew, congrats! Grandma came back with a wife for you. She’s been raving about her, saying the girl’s a goddess. I wonder what kind of person she really is…” 

Matthew shot Nathan a frigid glare that could freeze people on the spot. “If you’re so curious, why don’t you help Grandma find her yourself?” 

Nathan immediately shuddered, shaking his head vigorously. “No, no, no, Matthew, forget what I said…” 

Paying a debt of gratitude was natural, but offering oneself in marriage was utterly absurd. Matthew was the esteemed CEO of Noria Group, the dream husband for countless elite ladies in Kranson City, with a promising future. Yet Sophia wanted him to marry some unknown woman. It was beyond Nathan why Sophia would arrange such a marriage. 

Matthew, a typical poker face, was now showing clear signs of impatience. He immediately called his bodyguard, instructing him to keep a close eye on Sophia and report any updates. 

He was hoping that Sophia was just acting on a whim and would forget about it later. At the same time, he wished that Kranson City was big enough so Grandma would not find that woman. 

He didn’t like anything to be out of his control, and he certainly didn’t want to be manipulated, especially when it came to his marriage. Marrying Valerie was already an unexpected turn in his life plan, and he absolutely didn’t want a second surprise. 

Suddenly, he remembered he was already married. 

Something suddenly flashed in Matthew’s mind. He recalled Valerie explaining the reason for her wrist injury: to save someone. 

Wait a minute! No way! Could it be that the person Valerie saved yesterday was Grandma? She mentioned that the old lady was walking alone on the road, with no one around to look after her. If something really happened, none of the descendants could escape responsibility. I was bashing those ungrateful kids there with her. It turns out the ungrateful kid was actually me?‘ wondered Matthew in guilt.
