Chapter 17 Valerie, I Didn’t Mean It

“No, no. It’s for you.”

Valerie’s eyes widened.

But she was only shocked for a short time. Then she returned to being calm.

Her eyes were filled with doubt and inquiry.

She didn’t mean to do that.

But judging from the attitudes the Horton family had toward her, she had no idea why Reyna sent her the dessert.

And it was Zoe’s favorite strawberry cake.

Valerie made Reyna not know what to say.

Valerie was her biological daughter.

And she felt embarrassed when faced with her daughter.

“I just felt that I shouldn’t have yelled at you tonight…”

Reyna’s voice turned lower and lower.

Reyna thought that she shouldn’t have yelled at Valerie. Then what?

So Reyna could just bring the cake to console Valerie and help her move past what happened that day?

Along with what had happened before?

It was hard to tell whether Valerie would forgive Reyna for what Reyna had done.

But Reyna knew that if this happened to her, she would definitely feel uncomfortable.

“Um… Nothing. Just put it on the desk.”

“Oh… Okay. Okay.”

Valerie didn’t think that much. Instead, she felt strange.

This was the first time Reyna had delivered her any food.

She sat on the chair, watching Reyna step forward and put the cake on the desk. Then she waited for Reyna to leave.

With nothing in her hands, Reyna suddenly didn’t know what to say. She rubbed her hands against each other.

Valerie said that it was okay.

But Reyna didn’t think that there was really nothing.

“Um… Valerie, I shouldn’t say that to you today. I didn’t mean it. I was too anxious at that time…”

Reyna felt when she was anxious, she couldn’t express what she wanted to say at all.

It sounded like that as long as she was anxious, she could treat Valerie casually like this.

Reyna knew that she shouldn’t say this, so she fell silent.

“Mom, I know it. You don’t need to say anything. I have to do my homework now. Can you please go out now?”

Valerie raised her head and looked into Reyna’s eyes with pleading in her eyes.

She didn’t know how to treat Reyna when Reyna treated her like this.

In her mind, she remembered her previous life. After Zoe went missing, her mother, who rarely talked to her, pushed her several times.

Reyna pushed Valerie while scolding her mercilessly.

Just like tonight.

“Why didn’t you take a closer look at your sister? She is a human! How could you not see her? What do you want?”

At that time, Valerie was thirteen years old.

And she was scolded by her mother like this.

Then she completely lost hope.

She pursed her lips and looked at Reyna, who looked shocked. She lowered her head and continued to smooth her homework. She took a pencil and began to do it.

Reyna froze there still. The pain in her heart rose.

She seemed to know why she felt her heartbeat quickened when she walked past the garden.

The window facing the garden was on the corridor to the warehouse

So, Valerie passed the corridor that day?

But Reyna didn’t notice that.

Although Valerie still called Reyna “Mom“, she was treating Reyna as if Reyna was a stranger to her.

“Mom, check this out! I sculpted a dinosaur from modeling clay. When my little sister comes out, I’ll give it to her.”

The hidden memory appeared in Reyna’s mind. She suddenly had no idea what had happened back then.

But she could still remember Valerie’s voice clearly. C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.

The voice was soft and cute.

Valerie’s voice was filled with love for her mother and anticipation for her little sister, who was about to be born.

“Va… Valerie, I will leave now. I won’t disturb you.”

Reyna was already choked.

She was so sad that she was about to cry. When she said that, Valerie could hear her crying voice.

After that, she covered her mouth and quickly left Valerie’s room.

“Um? Why is she crying?”

Valerie raised her eyebrows out of curiosity when hearing Reyna’s choking voice.

Valerie shook her head and ignored all this. She began to work on her homework carefully.

Reyna staggered back to her room. The more she thought about it, the sadder she felt.

Valerie’s poor living conditions made Reyna feel sorry for Valerie.

Also, Reyna felt aggrieved when being treated by her daughter like that.

Actually, the aggrieved feeling surpassed the sorry feeling.

If Valerie knew that Reyna would think like this, she would definitely roll her eyes.

Was Reyna blaming her?

Reese returned to his room and read a book seriously in front of the desk in his room.

“You are back? Where have you been?”

Hearing the sound of the door opening, Reese said to Reyna dotingly without raising her head.

He didn’t hear any response. Instead, he heard a crying sound.

Reese was shocked and afraid. He threw the book in his hands.

He walked to Reyna nervously.

“Honey, what’s wrong? Who made you cry? Tell me! I will help vent your anger.”

Reyna wiped her tears and stared at Reese.

Suddenly, Reyna used her fists to hit Reese’s arm.

“It’s all your fault. I’m asking you! Have you ever asked Valerie to give her room to Zoe?”

The lost memory came back to Reese again.

He gasped in shock.

It was bad.

He forgot to help Valerie change her room.

“Honey… Ye… Yes. But she never talked to me about that. I thought that she was satisfied with her room, so I forgot…”

Reyna’s gaze became unfriendly.

Was it because Valeria was satisfied with her room?

Valerie didn’t even dare to eat the desserts in the fridge casually, thinking that the desserts belonged to Zoe.

How could Valerie talk to Reese about the room?

“Do you know where Valerie lives now?”

“Ah? I… I don’t know. I asked Jayvion to arrange a room for her. There are so many guest rooms in the house…”

Reese was anxious to explain. But when he said the words “guest rooms“, his heart skipped a beat.

The numb feeling made him unable to say anything.

He looked at his wife with guilt. His face sank.

Family members were not allowed to live in the guest rooms. This was the rule Reese set for the reputation of the Horton family.

There were a lot of rooms in the big villa. Many were built to be the children’s personal space. Kiren had a study. Bruce had a dancing room and a recording room. Tristan had a design room. Reyna and Zoe had their own cloakrooms. Zoe also had her own toy room.

There were so many rooms that Reese thought Valerie lived well too….

If Valerie didn’t live in a guest room, where did she live?

Reyna was familiar with her husband.

She hit Reese in anger.

She said anxiously, “Reese, how can you not fulfill your promise to the kids? Valerie had been living in the warehouse after Zoe took her room away! If Jayvion hadn’t led me over, I didn’t even know where the warehouse in the house ivas! And Valerie lived there!”

Valerie’s cold expression appeared in Reyna’s mind again. She felt aggrieved and sad. She totally choked when she said the last half of her words.

“What?”

Reese was shocked. His heart trembled. He even felt that he couldn’t breathe.

He widened his eyes.

He never blinked again…
