Chapter 15
Valerie looked at the breakfast on the table after Matthew left, feeling lost. She thought Matthew would be a big eater, but he ate less than her. She didn’t want to waste the food, so she put it in the fridge for her banch.Text ? by N0ve/lDrama.Org.
Then, Katherine <b>called</b>. Valerie was a workaholic and never took a day off. Katherine thought she might <b>be </b><b>sick </b>and wanted to make sure she was okay
<b>Tim </b>fine, Katherine. I took a day off to move,” said Valerie.
help with that. Give me your address” said Katherine
“You’re moving? Why didn’t you tell me? It’s my day off today. <b>I </b><b>can </b>help
‘Actually, I didn’t know I was moving until yesterday, thought Valerie.
Katherine insisted, so Valerie could only give her the address. It was an old apartment. When Katherine was there, Valerie <b>was </b>dragging her things downstairs. “Sorry, I was dyed on the road. Which room do you live in? I’ll go <b>get </b>your stuff”
Katherine was about to rush upstairs when Valerie stopped her and said. “No need for that. All my stuff is here.”
Katherine stared in disbelief at Valerie’s belongings: a suitcase, two boxes, a backpack, and a microwave. “All <b>of </b>them<b>!</b>” Katherine loved shopping <b>like </b>many girls did, and she thought her clothes alone could fill five big suitcases
Valerie thought for a moment and <b>took </b><b>a </b>metal <b>cage </b>from behind her back. In the cage was a hamster. “There’s <b>also </b>this one.
Valerie wasn’t stingy, but she was born into a poor family. As she grew up, she never had a strong sense of financial security. For this reason, <b>she </b>was always cautious about spending, especially onrger items. She would carefully consider whether she could take them with her if she ever had to move and whether they were truly necessary. Over time, this minimalist lifestyle grew on her.
Even this hamster was not her <b>idea</b><b>. </b>It was left behind by thest tenant, who left in a hurry. The hamster <b>had </b>a <b>bald </b><b>ear</b>, so nobody wanted it <b>Valerie </b>felt bad for it and <b>took </b>it in.
Katherine pulled a wry face, took the cage from Valerie <b>with </b>one hand, and grabbed the microwave with the other. Seeing that there were still two cardboard boxes left on the ground, she remembered something and shouted towards the white <b>BMW </b>behind her “Caleb,e and help!”.
Only then did Valerie notice there was someone else. A lean, frivolous boy got our of the car. He yawned while walking over as if he could lie down and sleep on the road any time. “You got me up too early. I think I’m going to pass out any minute. Don’t you ever do that again,” he said.
“Come on. I have my reason” Katherine said softly. Then she introduced this boy to Valerie <b>“</b>Caleb Lane, my boyfriend.”
<b>Valerie </b>smiled at him and said, “Sorry, I didn’t know she was bringing you. Thank you for the help
Caleb stopped yawning and said, “You’re the friend Katherine talked about so much. Don’t worry, It’s just a small favor. You’ve helped her a lot”
For a moment, Valerie fch she was <b>measured </b>from head to toe. But Caleb carried the boxes to his car after finishing his words, <b>so </b>Valerie thought it might be her misperception.
After getting into the car, Katherine told Valerie how she met Caleb. They met while ying a game in which Caleb was quite skilled. When someone began to bully Katherine during the game, Caleb helped her out. Over time, they <b>got </b><b>to </b>know <b>each </b>other and found out that they lived in the same city. They decided to meet in person and eventually fell in love.
Caleb was now a full–time <b>streamer </b><b>with </b><b>a </b><b>decent </b>ie, but working until midnight was <b>a </bmon urrence. He streamed until 2:00 am today. Katherine hoped he could switch to <b>a </b>more stable job.
Caleb did not agree with her. “In fact, my job is quite good, but there is still a car loan to pay, Besides, Katherine, I’m doing this for our future, I <b>have </b>to save more money so that I can buy a house to marry you.”
Katherine frowned. “Working sote is not good for your health. As for our future, we should work for it together.
“Katherine, I see you working hard every day, but you don’t earn much money. As your boyfriend<b>, </b><b>I </b>feel it’s my responsibility to ensure you live a good life. I don’t mind working hard for us both, <b>and </b>when I start <b>making </b>a lot of money in the future, you’ll never <b>have </b>to work hard again,” Caleb
Katherine was going to <b>say </b>something, but her heart melted away by Caleb’s sweet talk. Valerie was also relieved. She thought Caleb <b></b><b>. </b>frivolous at first sight, but now <b>he </b>seemed to be reliable.
Without warning, the car shook violently, causing Valerie to feel dizzy. It turned out that Caleb had been distracted <b>and </b>had crashed into the car in front of him. After calming down, <b>Valerie </b>was shocked to realize that Caleb had collided with a Porsche.
