Matthew couldn't care less. "What's wrong with that? This is a private account. Only our family can see it. I want them to see that you're unique in my heart!"
Once again, Valerie noticed that Matthew was completely different. She grabbed the phone from him and sent his photo to herself. If he could do it, so could she.
"Half an hour. No, in 20 minutes, your hair will be done. I want another photo at that point."
"No problem. But we should make good use of these twenty minutes," Matthew whispered.
Curious, Valerie asked, "Do you have any good ideas?"
"What do you think?" Matthew refused to let go of Valerie and played a song on his phone. The two of them then embraced each other and danced to the song.
Valerie was very surprised that after Matthew's return, he would seize every opportunity to be with her and did not want to be separated from her for even a moment.
It seemed that the Wakanda trip had indeed left him with some psychological trauma. Valerie was thinking whether she should arrange for a meeting with a psychiatrist for him.
Fortunately, other than being particularly clingy, Matthew did not exhibit any other symptoms.
After waiting for 20 minutes, Valerie washed and dried Matthew's hair. In an instant, a handsome CEO stood before her again.
After examining Matthew closely, Valerie complimented herself. "I am indeed talented. My skills are really good!"
Matthew saw her smug expression and obliged her by taking another photo and posting it.
This exchange between the husband and wife was seen by everyone in the Grant family. They could not believe their eyes. This was truly unprecedented.
The couple's playfulness came as a surprise. When Ian Grant saw the post, he silently "liked" the post, but the other followers were too dumb to engage in flattery. The couple had already made it so public. Didn't these people know how to curry favor?
Ian led the way by commenting immediately, "Valerie is indeed capable. She is not only beautiful but she is also good with her hands!"
After reading Ian's comment, Matthew chuckled. "This kid is smart!"
Valerie wasn't surprised. "Of course he is. Ian managed to make a name for himself overseas. Ordinary people won't be able to achieve that!"
"You think so highly of him?" Matthew asked.
"You're the one who introduced him to me. If you think highly of him, I will naturally think highly of him too."
That was true. Matthew felt much more at ease with Ian around. Valerie did not have to worry so much about work now that Ian was assisting her.
Valerie thus entrusted Ian to make arrangements for the banquet.
The Noria Group was going to hold a banquet for all the eligible bachelors in Kranson City. When this news broke, many people fought for an invitation.
Everyone knew that getting close to the Noria Group meant having unlimited possibilities of collaboration in the future. Moreover, this was the first large-scale banquet being held since Matthew returned.
As soon as the invitations were sent out, every recipient confirmed their attendance.
In private, everyone knew that Mrs. Grant was acting as a matchmaker and she was looking for a husband for Miss Katherine Santos. The person in charge was Ian Grant.
On the night of the banquet, Ian weaved through the crowd dressed in a black tuxedo. A few young men caught sight of him and proffered their greetings.
"I say, Mr. Grant! When did you switch careers? Now you're not aiming to be a tycoon but turning into a matchmaker?" asked one.
"Are you up to the task, Mr. Matchmaker?" said another.
She had already given her heart to Julian Warren. How could she simply hook up with another man so quickly? Furthermore, she was carrying Julian's child now.
Nonetheless, Katherine still thanked Ian politely. After taking the document folder, she turned around and left. She looked around and saw that there were eligible bachelors everywhere, but she was totally numb to them.
Previously, because of her own family's pressure, Katherine was forced to date Dale Bacchus. Later, when Dale betrayed her and brought her overseas to torture her, she thought that she was doomed.
She believed that she was going to die like that. However, she felt that it was a little unfair since she did not get the chance to have a good home.
Yet, the moment she opened her eyes and saw Julian, Katherine knew that she would never meet anyone more splendid than him in her life.
The option to be with Julian was no longer available to her. If someone really did not mind the existence of her child, Katherine might be able to accept him to be her husband as well as the father of her child.
This banquet was very grand. Every eligible bachelor in Kranson City showed up.
Although they knew some things about Katherine, they did not say it out loud.
When Fred Grant found out that Valerie arranged this event for Katherine to find a partner, he naturally knew the underlying reasons.
The Santos family strongly opposed Katherine's relationship with Julian. Following that, she had a very public falling out with Dale Bacchus. Now, Valerie had arranged a matchmaking session in the form of a banquet for her. Wasn't it because she wanted Katherine to land a good husband?
However, she had been dragged to Wakanda by Dale Bacchus in the past, yet now she wanted to hook up with these eligible bachelors here. What right did she have?
Fred took the opportunity to slip into the banquet hall. Almost immediately, he caught sight of one guy. He was straightening his suit while a woman beside him was egging him on. "I'm telling you. You have to seize the opportunity. Once you are able to hook up with Katherine Santos, there will definitely be a place for us at the Noria Group!"
"Mom, don't worry. She's just another rich, pampered young lady. It's easy for me. Besides, she smiled at me when I passed by just now. I'll get her a drink later. It won't be a problem!"
