Chapter 22


    Chapter 22


    Valerie was packing up garbage from the breakfast and didn’t notice what Matthew had done.


    When she came out from the kitchen, Matthew had already left, leaving only the hamster neviled in


    the corner of the cage. Valerie was puzzled. “Peanut, you’re usually running at this hour. What’s


    wrong with you today!“. The bald spot on the hamster’s ear looked like a pranut, so she named it


    PeanuL


    valerie heard a car’s engine outside and saw Matthew’s Mini in macaron blue driving away.


    “Matthew’s serious face doesn’t fit his linte blur car at all. she thought


    Valerie suddenly remembered Matthew had asked her several times if she was scared of him. She


    thought, ‘Maybe he’s also bothered by his serious face. People think he’s scary for no reason, so he


    drives this cute little car to change their opinion of him. He’s actually pretty funny”


    She had seen a lot of difficult people, and Matthew looked like the toughest kind, but he was


    actually very easy to deal with by agreeing with him.

    It was time to leave for work. Valerie checked the map, Clutvale Estate was in the middle of her


    apartment and her work. Valerie then bought some gifts and beaded for it. She was going to tell


    Juhan about her new address. Speaking of the address, she wondered how Matthew knew she


    worked at Arcton Cars since she had never told him about it


    While pondering, she had already arrived at Cluvale Estate. Julian lived on the third floor, but she


    saw a familiar figure squatting on the stairs.


    “Aiden!” she called out


    Aiden Warren was sitting on the stairs in a daze. When he heard the voice, he looked up quickly


    and saw Valerie. He jumped up happily. “Aunt


    Valerie!


    Valerie put the gifts on the ground and crouched down to hug Aiden. “Hi. Aiden. I haven’t seen you


    for so long.”


    “Aunt Valerie, you, you haven’te to see me for a while. I, I’ve missed you,” said Alden. Three


    years ago, Aiden was diagnosed with an intellectual disability, which caused difficulties with


    communication and cognition, and also led to sumering


    Valerie patiently waited for Aiden to finish his sentence. She gently touched his soft hair, giving him


    a warm smile. “Im sorry. Aiden. I’ve been busy with worktely. Why haven’t you gone to school!


    You’re going to bete. Where are your mom and dad?”


    Aiden’s expression changed immediately. He looked in the direction of his house, uneasy.


    Valerie had a bad feeling about it. Are they fighting again” she thought


    Just as the thought shed through


    gh her mind, she heard an angry roar inside the house


    “We’ve been married for five years, and I’ve been giving you my entire sry. 3.000 dors a


    month, so howe we can’t evene up with 4.000 dors now!” It was Julian’s voice.


    But his voice was quickly covered by a woman’s.


    “Fine, you wanna know where the money goes? The family’s daily expenses, the mortgage, the car


    loan, and Aiden’s kindergarten. And now, you’re ming me for not saving enough money. Some


    people make ten thousand dors a month. Don’t hang out with Valerie if you want to save money.


    Shees over for a meal now and then. That costs money, too! First, you paid for her schooling


    and then her shop. She’s a bloodsucker! said Ashley.


    “Stop calling her that! Valerie is my s


    y sister. She has paid me


    paid me back all the money?” said Julian.


    Ashley snorted. “Bullshit Has she paid your family for raising her? She won’t even bring her


    husband to your parents. She’s probably married a poor guy. I don’t understand why she would


    give up 60 thousand dors. Didn’t they teach her anything in college!”
