Chapter 37 He Likes This Girl
Valerie didn’t expect Tucker to get so close to her. Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.
She immediately stopped and answered carefully.
“Hello, Tucker, I am Valerie Horton.
She spoke slowly in a sweet voice. The people staring at Tucker were attracted by her.
“Holly molly, she is so cute!”
“So, Tucker will be her dad in the show?”
“She is so polite and adorable.”
“See. She carries her own suitcase and doesn’t ask for help.”
Not only the fans in the scene, but the viewers in the live show channel went crazy about it.
“Wow, Tucker is so gentle!”
“Is her name Valerie? She is so sweet!”
“She is such an angel! And she is so small. Is she 7? Is she really already 7?”
“My nephew is only 5, but he looks bigger than her…”
“So, girls are smaller, so boys need to protect us!”
“Lady, you should say that when you shop online like possessed.”
Tucker stared at Valerie for a while.
They were staring at each other.
Suddenly, Tucker reached out and took her suitcase, carrying her in his arms.
The sudden movement and height startled her, and Valerie quickly hugged his neck.
“Well, Tucker, your body…”
“I am okay. I can take this.”
Tucker stared at Valerie.
He ignored the fans‘ screams and walked to the boarding gate.
Valerie looked at Tucker and felt confused.
Everyone knew he didn’t like children.
In her last lifetime, he never went near her.
Even if he had to stay close to her for the missions in the show, he would cover his skin well with clothes in case it touched her.
That was why everyone knew he disliked children.
So, what was going on now?
This was the first time he had seen Valerie, so why was Tucker holding her in his arms?
She was even worried for a long time after touching his neck.
But instead of putting her down, he even held her more tightly.
Valerie opened her big eyes wide and felt excited.
Even if Tucker was putting on an act, his behavior at least indicated he didn’t hate her.
With that thought, her hand holding him shook slightly, and she looked at his broad shoulders.
Valerie looked like she was possessed. She carefully rested her head on his shoulder.
“Jeez, it’s cute for her to do that.”
“She even asked him carefully if he could do this. Does she think he is weak?”
“I think she is attached to him already.”
“I can’t believe it. A child is actually attached to him.”
“Am I the only one wondering if Tucker really dislikes children? Why is he so nice to Valerie?”
“Is it because she is a Horton?”
“Friend, you are mean again.”
The viewers started to yell at each other.
But Tucker didn’t care about that.
He thought the show would make him suffer for a long time.
After all, he didn’t like children or want to touch them.
He thought they were too fragile.
They were even more fragile than him.
Besides, they were stubborn.
Moreover, he had to deal with a Horton kid.
He was upset about it for days.
While waiting at the airport today, he thought about how to get along with the kid today in front of the viewers.
But when the small Valerie came to him holding a suitcase, Tucker’s eyes lit up.
He found her familiar.
He didn’t know why.
But he knew she was as pitiful as him…
“Hello, Tucker…”
Valerie’s cute voice sounded.
He liked the girl!
He was reserved, but he would show his affection when he saw anything or anyone he liked.
That was why he had so many fans.

Kieran, who was working in the company’s large office, watched the live show on his phone while dealing with documents.
He saw Valerie leaning on Tucker’s shoulder with a relaxed face.
She was different when she was with Kieran.
Kieran’s hands shook slightly, and he could barely hold his phone…
He felt unconvinced and uncomfortable while watching the show.
He also felt pain.
His face was gloomy,
His secretary and subordinates didn’t even dare to enter his office to report work.
“What is wrong with him?”
“I don’t know. He has been staring at his phone the whole morning. It seems something in it upsets him.”
“Really? He never looked away? But he still got his work done.”
***
The employees at the office door didn’t dare to walk forward.
Finally, they played Rock–Paper–Scissors to decide who should enter the office.
Well, it was the poor secretary again.
He took everyone’s charts and documents helplessly, glaring at them.
“You need to buy me dinner after this!”
“Rest assured! We will!”
The other employees were cheerful and watched as he entered the battlefield.
“Well, Mr. Horton, these are the documents and information you need to approve today.”
Kieran didn’t even look up and kept staring at his phone.
“Put them on my desk.”
The secretary was curious and leaned to Kieran, peeking at his phone while putting down the files.
He wanted to know what kept Kieran’s attention for so long.
The secretary looked over and found the phone screen black.
He slowly turned his head to look at Kieran and saw him staring at himself gloomily.
The secretary’s heart skipped a beat…
“Well, sir, these are the reports and documents you need to approve…”
The secretary quickly straightened his back and handed the files to Kieran respectfully.
Kieran took them and spoke while reading them…
“Felipe, the project I told you about needs a director now. Do you want to give it a try?”
Felipe Wood shook all over.
“Sir, I think I need to keep learning from you! If the project succeeds, the company can get billions of dollars. Are you sure you want to entrust it to me?”
Felipe’s voice trailed off…
After all, Felipe had been in charge of a bigger project, so he shouldn’t be afraid to take the new one.
In the end, Felipe came out of the office with a sad face, hurt by his
