Valene could not help but leave a sigh of relief when she heard what Matthew said. Initially, she thought that things would be complicated since. her mother was such a disgusting person. However, she now feli ai case after hearing Matthewâs words.
She nodded, but there was still a knot in her heart. She sull had to go back to her hometown with Julian tomorrow.
As for Mathew, it was better not to trouble him. Anyone would not be able to accept the things that happened in his family. Besides, considering Matthewâs identity. Valerie felt that it was Isetter not to let him know.
She did not tell him about this. However, what she did not know was that when Matthew saw her like this, he knew that she was hiding something from him
He thought, Valerie usually likes to bury things in her heart. It is already an improvement for her to be able to tell me about Ruth today. There is no hurry, I will take it slow. There is still a long way to go. I have plenty of patience!
Valerie made a simple dish, and Matthew helped her. In addition, there were fresh flower cakes, so they did not make much food. After eating, the two of them thought of watching the news.
Valerie was tired. Today, she helped to organize the antiques and artifacts in the Anderson family Coupled with the fact that she had cooked after coming back. Valerie felt tired. Her eyelids became heavier and heavier, and she fell asleep as she watched
Matthew was reading the book in his hand when he felt his shoulders sink.
He turned around and saw that Valerieâs sleeping face was quiet and gentle. She was sleeping very soundly. Her long eyelashes covered her eyes. making his heart skip a beat. Matthew could not help but reach out and gently pinch Valerieâs nose. However, Valerie leaned over and hugged him. Then, she found a comfortable position to sleep in his arms.
Mathew was overjoyed when he smelled her fragrance. He carried Valerie horizontally and gently put her down in the bedroom. He covered her with the blanker and was about to leave when he realized that his waist was tightly hugged by her
He said softly, âYou asked for thisâ¦
He flipped open the blanket and lay down beside her. This was the first time he had slept in her room. The entire room was filled with her faint
scent.
Matthew thought, I have to think of a way to change rooms. We canât always sleep in separate roomsâ¦
The next day, Valerie woke up.
When she opened her eyes, she found herself hugging Matthew like an octopus,
She usually had the habit of hugging a pillow to sleep. Last night, she had treated him as a pillow
However, Matthew still looked at her seriously. âVallie, I was about to leave last night. You were the one who said that you were lonely and insisted on hugging me.â
Valerie felt that there was no need for him to tell her so bluntly.
Valerieâs face was burning hot. Fortunately, Matthew did not say anything else. He pursed his lips and stood up with a smile, letting her off.
Valerie also quickly got up. When she was putting on her clothes, she could clearly feel Matthewâs gaze from behind. He even shook his head and smiled. âHow can you be so shy so easily? You have to get used to it in the future?â
Valerie thought. That is true. Itâs normal for me to sleep with my husband. I can do it again.
Not long after breakfast, Matthew went out and Julian called Valerie.
He drove Valerie to their hometown. The siblings arrived at the village entrance an hour later. Although the village road had been repaired, it was not easy to park the car. The two of them parked the car in the parking lot at the village entrance, turned off the engine, and got out of the car. They saw the old man at the village entrance stand up
Valerie recognized him as the old man she used to hang out with when she was
was young. She greeted him, âStephaniâ
Unrxpectedly, Steplun Curtis saw them and hurriedly slapped his legs. âValerie, Julin, youâre finally here. Hurry up and go back to your house. If you donât go back, something big will happen to your fatherâ

Valerie asked, âWhat happened to my dad?â
Stephan said, âItâs has drinking problemt Heâs been drinking all day and is drank every day. He was even carried home the night before yesterday. It would be terrible if he tell and hit himself
Valerie did not dare to be careless. After thanking Stephan, she followed Julian home.
When they returned home, they realized that there was no one in the house. After looking around, Julian suddenly exclaimed, âHere!â
Valerie looked up and saw a person wes by the pond at the entrance. His head was submerged in the w
She thought. Gosh! If we didnât arrive in time, no one would know even if he drownrid himself?
Julian hurriedly flipped him over. Fortunately, Ethan had just fallen and was still breathing,
The siblings quickly carried Ethan back and placed him on the bench in the living room. Valerie patted his face and realized that he was already drunk. Fortunately, they came back today. Otherwise, she didnât know how long it would take for the villagers to find out about Ethanâs situation.
As expected. Ruth was not lying. She said that Ethan often drank at home and hit her when he was drunk. No wonder she could not take the beating and ran away.
Valerie frowned. âTil go make so
some hangover drink.â
A moment later, she handed the drink to Julian. The two of them wiped Ethanâs face clean and fed him the drink.
However, after taking two sips, Erhan turned over and vomited. A stench swept over. Valerie covered her mouth and took two steps back. Julian could not help but frown. âDad, have you gone crazy from drinking Donât you know that if you drink by the pond in broad daylight and drown, no one will come to save you?â
When Ethan heard the scolding, his vision went from blurry to clear. He shook his head and felt much better after vomiting
In the end, his eyes became clear and fixed on Julianâs face. After recognizing that it was his son, he said angrily, âI donât need you to care. If I drown, so be it Hurry up and get lost. Donât nag me.â
Julian put the hangover heavily on the table. He couldnât help but shake his head. âDad, if it werenât for me, you would have drowned today. Do you still want me to get lost You even beat Mom away. Are you satisfied after you lose all of your family members?â
When Ethan saw that he still dared to argue with him, he was instantly exasperated. He raised his hand and slapped Julian. âYou brat! Iâm already so old, I donât need you to teach me how to do things! I fucking raised you up, and this is how you treat met Get lost! Get lost!â
Ethanâs slap immediately left five fingerprints on Julianâs arm.
Valerie frowned when she saw this
She had long accepted the reality of this family and her unique parents.
She could stay far away, but her Julian was still worried about everyone. She did not expect that in the end, when her Julian came to show concern, he would end up being beaten up
She quickly pulled Julian to the side Julian, donât worry about him. If he tries to kill himself, even the heavens canât stop himâ
When Fahan heard that she dared to argue with him as well, he became even more aggressive, âYou wretched girl, shut up!â
âI wonât shut up. Iâm not wrong. If you guys act like qualified parents, Julin and I wonât poke our noses into your business!â Moreover, Valerie never liked to mind other peopleâs business.
She pulled Julian and was about to leave
Ethan wat even angrier now that he had no one to scold. âYou unfilial daughter, how dare you come over and teach me a lesson now!â After saying that he wanted to slap Valerie. Julian was instantly stunned. He quickly went forward to stop hins. âDad, what are you doing? If you want to hit me, hit me. Why are you trying to hit Valene?â
Ethanâs wrist was grabbed by Julian. He was instantly flustered and exasperated. At the same time, he suddenly broke free from him. âWho told you to be a busybody! Iâll hit larr if I want to!â
now where he got his strength from, but he actually pushed Julian to the side, Julian hit the side of the bed, and the hangover soup spilled all over the floor. With a crisp sound, the lawl shattered.

Then, Ethan charged towards Valerie.
Valerie quickly retreated, but the house was too messy. The ground was filled with junk, and she staggered and tripped. She watched as Ethanâs slap approached her. It seemed that she really could not avoid it.
At this critical moment, a black shadow flashed past, Ethan was kicked away, and Valerie felt a pair of hands supporting him,
Matthewâs face appeared in front of Valerie. Valerie was a little surprised âMatthew, why are you here?
âI came because I was worried about you.â Matthew looked up at Ethan. âWhat happened?â
Ethan was still furious just now. The moment he saw Matthew, he was stunned. Then, he asked in an extremely strange and shocked tone, âValerie, what did you call him just now!â
