She did not tell him about <b>this</b>. 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 <b>dish</b>, and Matthew helped her. In addition, there were fresh flower cakes, so they did not make much <b>food</b>. After eating, the two of them thought of watching the news.

However, Matthew still looked at her seriously. “Vallie, I <b>was </b>about to leavest night. You were the one who said that you were lonely and insisted on hugging me.”
Valerie felt that there was no need for him to tell her so bluntly.
Valerie’s face was burning hot<b>. </b>Fortunately, Matthew did not say anything else. He pursed <b>his </b><b>lips </b>and stood up <b>with </b>a smile, letting her off.
<b>Valerie </b>also quickly got up. When she was putting on her clothes, she could clearly feel Matthew’s gaze from behind. He even shook his head <b>and </b>smiled. “How can <b>you </b>be <b>so </b>shy so easily? You <b>have </b>to get used to it in the future?”
<b>Valerie </b>thought. <b>That </b>is true. It’s normal for me to sleep with my husband. I can do it <b>again</b>.
Not long after <b>breakfast</b>, Matthew went <b>out </b><b>and </b>Julian called Valerie.
He drove Valerie to their hometown. The siblings arrived at the vige entrance an hourter. Although the vige road had been <b>repaired</b>, it was not easy to park the car.

Valerie recognized him as the old man she used to hang out with when she <b>was</b>

Valerie asked, “What happened to my dad?”
Stephan <b>said</b>, “It’s has drinking problemt He’s 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, <b>Julian </b>suddenly eximed, “Here!”
<b>Valerie </b>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 didn’t 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 ced 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 didn’t <b>know </b>how long it would take for the vigers to find <b>out </b>about Ethan’s situation.
As expected. Ruth was not <b>lying</b>. She <b>said </b><b>that </b><b>Ethan </b>often drank at home and hit her when he was drunk. No wonder she could not take the beating and ran <b>away</b>.
Valerie frowned. “Til go make so
some hangover drink.”
A momentter, she handed the <b>drink </b>to Julian. The two of them wiped Ethan’s <b>face </b>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<b>. </b>“Dad, have you gone crazy from drinking Don’t you know that if you drink by the pond in broad daylight and drown, no one wille to <b>save </b>you?”
When Ethan heard the scolding, his vision went from blurry to clear. He shook his head and felt much better after <b>vomiting</b>
In the end, his eyes became clear and fixed on Julian’s face. After recognizing that it was his son, he said angrily, “I don’t need you to care. If I <b>drown</b>, so be it Hurry up and get lost. Don’t nag me.”
Julian put the hangover heavily on the table. He couldn’t help but shake his head. “Dad, if it <b>weren’t </b>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?”
When Ethan saw <b>that </b>he still dared to argue with him, he <b>was </b>instantly exasperated. He raised his hand <b>and </b>pped Julian. “You brat! I’m <b>already </b><i>so </i>old, I don’t 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!”
Ethan’s p immediately left five fingerprints on Julian’s arm.
Valerie frowned when <b>she </b>saw this
She had long epted the <b>reality </b>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
<b>She </b>quickly pulled Julian to the side Julian, don’t worry about him. If he tries to kill himself, even the heavens can’t stop him”
When Fahan heard that she dared to argue with him as well, he <b>became </b>even more aggressive, “You wretched girl, shut up!”
“I won’t shut up. I’m not wrong. If you guys act like qualified parents, Julin and I won’t poke our noses into your business!” Moreover, Valerie never liked to mind other <b>people’s </b>business.
She pulled Julian and was about to <b>leave</b>
Ethan wat even angrier now that he had no one to scold. “You unfilial daughter, how <b>dare </b>youe over and teach me a lesson now!” After saying that he wanted to p Valerie. Julian was <b>instantly </b>stunned. He quickly went forward to stop hins. “<b>Dad</b>, <b>what </b>are you doing? If you want to hit me, hit me. Why are you trying to hit Valene?”
Ethan’s wrist was grabbed by Julian. He was instantly flustered and exasperated. At the same time, he suddenly broke free from him. “Who told you to be a busybody! I’ll hitrr if I want to!”
<b>now </b>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, thewl shattered.
