Chapter 265
Aiden expressed his confusion sincerely. “When Mom and Dad quarreled, Mom asked Dad to sleep on the sofa. Valerie, you didn’t quarrel with Matthew. Why didn’t you sleep in the same room? Don’t you have a bad relationship too?”
He could clearly see that Valerie and Matthew’s house had two rooms. His family. also had two rooms, one for him and one for his parents. However, Valerie and Matthew did not have children, so the two rooms must be occupied by Valerie and Matthew themselves.
Valerie immediately choked and could not help but cough. “Aiden…
However, after hesitating for a long time, she did not know how to explain. She glanced at Matthew hesitantly, but Matthew acted as if nothing had happened. He actually looked at her like Aiden, as if he was waiting for her answer.
Valerie could not help but glare at him. She picked up the glass of water and took a sip. After calming down, she explained, “Actually, Matthew and I usually don’t sleep in separate rooms. Didn’t you come last night? I wanted to sleep with you, so I let Matthew sleep in the other room!”
“I see!” Aiden was suddenly enlightened. Just as Valerie was about to heave a sigh of relief, Aiden said in all seriousness, “It’s alright. I can sleep alone. You should sleep with Matthew tonight! I have grown up. I won’t sleep with you anymore, okay?”
His mind was simple. Since Valerie and Matthew were married, they should sleep together. They didn’t quarrel, so he didn’t want them to be separated.
Valerie felt speechless.
She was so embarrassed that her toes were touching the ground. She didn’t even.
know how to answer.
Although she and Matthew were married, it had always been a contractual marriage. She was certain that they would definitely divorce after half a year, so it was only right for them to sleep in separate rooms.
Although her relationship with Matthew seemed to be much better than before, sleeping together was simply unimaginable. However, if the two of them slept in separate rooms today, Aiden would probably ask all sorts of questions again. What was worse was that if Aiden told Julian about this matter, he would probably be suspicious of her relationship with Matthew. This was what Valerie was most afraid

Just as her heart was in a mess and she was worried, Matthew’s cold voice sounded. “Yes, we will. Let’s sleep together tonight!”
Valerie looked at Matthew in surprise. Aiden was already cheering. “Yay!”
The little guy’s thinking was very simple. He felt that since Valerie and Matthew were on good terms, they had to stay that way. He could not let them be separated. He was afraid that Valerie and Matthew would quarrel like his parents.
“But…” Valerie said awkwardly. She still wanted to struggle.
Matthew’s deep black eyes looked at her. She could even sense Matthew’s teasing. “Why? Are you worried that Aiden can’t sleep alone?”
Valerie was furious. He clearly knew that she did not mean that.
However, Aiden had already patted his chest and promised, “Valerie, don’t worry. I can do it!”
“Fine.” Since things had already developed to this point, Valerie had no other choice but to nod. Anyway, she would think about tonight’s matter when the time
came.
However, she could not help but secretly glare at Matthew. Unexpectedly, Matthew caught her glance.
Matthew raised his eyebrows and said slowly, “Aiden, actually, there’s something Valerie has been hiding from you. It’s not that she’s worried about you sleeping alone in a room, but she’s afraid of the dark. She doesn’t dare to sleep alone and needs someone to accompany her every day.”
Valerie was shocked. She thought, ‘Since when am I timid and afraid of the dark?‘
She said, “I didn’t…”
However, Matthew did not give her a chance to interrupt. He continued to say to Aiden, “But you also know that Valerie is very competitive and refuses to admit this, so she
bold. y set up another room for herself to prove that she is very However, every night, she was afraid and could not help but come to my side to sleep together. Fortunately, you came. That room last night finally came in handy.”
Aiden asked, “Really?”

Matthew said, “Of course it’s true.”

“Matthew… Don’t talk nonsense!” Valerie was furious. She thought, ‘When did Matthew learn to joke? He even spread rumors that I am timid!‘
Matthew looked at her. “See, I told you that Valerie is too competitive and refuses. to admit it. So don’t tell your father about this and save Valerie some face.”
Aiden had an epiphany. “Okay, Valerie, don’t worry. I won’t tell Dad that you’re timid. Moreover, Matthew will accompany you tonight. You definitely won’t be afraid!”
After going around in circles, Valerie finally understood. Matthew was helping her to make up for it so that this matter would not be exposed to her brother. But even so, there was no need for him to make such a joke. She was a little embarrassed for
a moment.
However, when she met Matthew’s gaze, his pitch–black eyes seemed to weave a net. He said slowly, “Yes, tonight, you have me…”
Valerie immediately felt her cheeks burning red. Matthew clearly wanted to draw a line with her previously. She didn’t know why he was making such a joke with her now. It was heart–wrenching.

Seeing that Aiden’s plate was empty, Valerie immediately stood up as if she had been pardoned. “I’ll send Aiden to school!”
She quickly pulled Aiden and walked out. She was in such a hurry that she forgot to take Aiden’s bag. She quickly turned around to take it and did not dare to look at Matthew the entire time. Matthew sized up her fleeing back and his lips could not help but curl up slightly.
He thought back to the day they’d met, when she’d brazenly offered to show him. the hickeys on her chest. He’d thought she was such a wild character. But now a few jokes had made her blush. He knew that she was just putting on a strong front.
