Chapter 1182


    Upon hearing this, Valerie nodded slightly and did not ask any more questions.


    After a long day, I was really tired. When Valerie left my room, I washed up and went to bed. Anne


    slept in my arms and I foundfort from the warmth of her tiny body.


    A child was all a mother needed. This was true. As long as I had Anne, I would be fine, despite all


    hardship.


    I could feel the care and love from Valerie... If we hadn''t had so many misunderstandings in the


    past, we would be such a wonderful family now, wouldn''t we?


    The next day...


    In the gloomy Jarold City, the sun shone through the clouds and filled the bedroom with morning


    sun. It was warm and cheerful.


    I woke up slightly out of breath and found Anne curled into a tiny ball sleeping on my chest. Her tiny


    mouth was heaving and she looked extremely adorable. The front of my shirt was slightly damp


    from her drool.


    I looked at her pink face. She seemed to have grown a little chubbier recently. However, I could still


    make out the firm look on her features, which greatly resembled Josiah''s.


    "Knock knock!" There was a knock on the door, and I moved Anne to the bed.


    I got up and opened the door. It was Freya. She stared at me with dark circles under her eyes and


    wailed, "Can I sleep in your room? Oliver has been torturing me for the whole night! Why do we


    have children, seriously?! I need some sleep, please!"


    As sheined, Freya walked towards my bed and copsed on my bed. She hugged Anne and


    soon was fast asleep. She must be very tired.


    The bed was very big, and it could easily fit three people. I looked at the time. It was already eight


    o''clock. Given a good night''s sleep, I was feeling refreshed. So I went into the bathroom to wash up


    and change my clothes.


    Just like what Valerie had said, the clothes she had picked for me were simple and elegant. Usually,


    such elegant minimalist designs would be more expensive. They might look simple but they were


    definitely not cheap.


    When I went downstairs, I heard someone talking andughing in the hall. It seemed that there


    were guests this morning. I was surprised that they came so early to visit.


    I walked to the stairs and peered at the people sitting in the hall. With just a nce, I recognized


    who it was. I hadn''t seen him for several days.


    After thest quarrel, I thought that we may take a long time to meet again. After all,I had said such


    offensive words to him, and it would be natural for him to be angry for a while.


    An inner voice suddenly rang in my ears, "Arianna, you knew that no matter what you did, he would


    come back to pick you up. Hence, you said those words to hurt him so ruthlessly, because you


    knew that he would never leave. You just wanted to vent your anger on him. And you don''t think that


    you''re wrong?"


    I was stunned by this revtion. I hadn''t thought of reflecting on my own actions ever since our


    argument. Ipletely did not think of my erred ways, and perhaps I might even hurt him worse the

    The discussion andughter downstairs came to an end. I came back to my senses. When I saw


    them looking up at me, Valerie was walking out of the kitchen with fruits in her hand. She looked at


    me and said, "You''re awake! Mr. Roberts has been here for a while. Come down and have


    breakfast. I heard that the Aquarium in North City has opened. Anne has been looking forward to it


    for a long time. You both can take her thereter, and she''d be thrilled."
