Katherine grew up abroad since young and rarely s

spent time with her relatives. She thought her family was already odd enough, but the incident today opened her eyes.

On the way driving Valerie home, Katherine vented her frustration.

“I’ve never seen such shameless people in my life. Their whole family is of the same kind. Even beggars know how to ask politely for money. they’re worse than beggars. Just looking at them makes my eyes hurt.”

After scolding, Katherine realized she had also scolded Valerie by reprimanding the Warren family, quickly adding, “Valerie, you’re not like them.”

Sometimes she wondered if Valerie was even Ruth’s daughter as a mother shouldn’t be so harsh to her daughter.

Valerie smiled and didn’t mind. “It’s fine, I’ve made myself clear that I won’t give them any money this time”

Besides, she didn’t manage to help Louis either, feeling uneasy about accepting the 20 thousand dollars.

Later, she called Louis to inquire.

After asking, she exclaimed. “Photos What photos?” Valerie only remembered getting ready for a shoot, but before they could start taking pictures, she received a call from Melinda and left.

Louis explained. “It’s your photos. The photographer captured a great shot just now, since we were in a rush and couldn’t redo it, we used that one You should get the 20 thousand dollars for it. Take it, it’s yours.”

Valerie was puzzled until Louis sent her the photo, only then she felt more relaxed. Besides, the photo was just ber silhouette, which was good as she didn’t want to get in more trouble.

“By the way. Mr. Santos, is Mrs. Anderson doing well? Valene couldn’t help but ask after hesitating for a while.

Although she had never seen Olivia before, she could not stop worrying about her for some reason

Louis answered, “Not too good.”

Louis sighed before continuing. “Her granddaughter was her biggest motivation all these years. Learning of her granddaughters passing has been a huge blow to her. Thankfully, the Anderson family is supporting her, hoping that she can pull through”

“I hope so too,” Valerie sighed softly, feeling a knot in her chest.

After the call, she received a call from Julian, who was unaware of what had happened today and was asking about Valerie’s health condition Learning that she was better, Julian felt relieved.

Valerie could tell from his voice that he was in a good mood, so she decided not to burden him with Ruth’s issue…

But there was something else she wanted to ask him about, so she began, “By the way, Julian, there’s something I want to ask you…

“We can talk about anything between us, so what is it?” Julian asked.

Valerie recalled the scene that flashed across her mind when she was at the Santos residence in the afternoon. She had a familiar feeling she couldn’t describe, so she finally asked, “Did we have an elderly neighbor who was good at oil painting when we were kids?”

“Oil painting?” Julian was surprised at her question. Then, he laughed. “What are you talking about! Our hometown is such a rural place. Only a few people have these kinds of art skills, and most of them are young people. As for the elderly, I’ve never heard of anyone who knows oil painting. Why are you asking?“

Valerie was also in a daze, thinking that Julian was right. It was impossible to have an elderly good at oil painting staying in their small and remote town She didn’t know why she had such a vague memory about it, so she tried to reason it as an overthinking.

She responded, “Nothing, just a random question.”

As she spoke, the car had already arrived at her place, Valerie was about to hang up the phone when Julian started nagging again, advising her to drink more water and eat more fruits since she had just recovered from a serious illness. He also reminded her to wear more clothes in the cold weather, making Valerie find his nagging amusing.

Valene said, “I got it”

Katherine couldn’t help but remark, “Valerie, you have a great relationship with your brother.”

Valerie playfully tapped Katherine’s head and said, “Louis cares about you too. Last time when you were in trouble, he was very worried, so you shouldn’t be reckless next time. By the way, since you’re here, why not come to my house for dinner!

“Don’t tease me, Valerie. I don’t want to be a third wheel and Lant stand it as you two are so lovey– dovey, Katherine’s face showed her exaggerated dagusi

Chapter 198

Valerie blushed at Katherine’s words. She didn’t think she was that close with Matthew, but she couldn’t help but recall those memories of Matthew taking care of her recently. Despite his stern appearance, he was gentle and caring. He had a stable job, some savings, and was good– looking, which was a perfect husband material. It was just his lack of domestic skills that worried her, but seeing him fret about it was oddly cute

Just then, she received a text from Matthew, which read. [Have dinner on your own tonight. I have work to attend to and won’t be back for dinner.]

She couldn’t help but laugh as she had just praised Matthew, but now he wasn’t even coming home.
