Chapter 69 This Is the Fisher Family
Galen’s mind was filled with mixed feelings.
This is the first time that our mature grandson has shown interest in someone’s appearance.
But he could also understand.
Valerie, this little girl, looked quite likable.
“Never mind, the girl is still having a cold, let’s take good care of her at home for now.”
With this thought in mind, Galen briskly returned to the room.
Derek, in the car, leaned on the window sill with one hand, watching the scenery outside quickly flash by.
He recalled the first time Valerie was bullied in class by her classmates using childish methods, and her expressionless face.
And when she explained during the live broadcast, there was a muffled groan during the period when she was being beaten.
He twitched his hand slightly…
But when she was by Wilma’s side, those eyes.
Really take a good look.
Since childhood, he was different from other children. He seemed to know more things and understood them quickly compared to other children.
He found many things boring.
Learning things too quickly without any freshness, coupled with being a member of the Fisher family.
The so–called friends around me, half of them are attracted by the background of the Fisher family.
No one understood his thoughts, and no one genuinely wanted to know what he needed.
The people at home just took it as him being arrogant and didn’t think too much about it.
After all, in the Fisher family, everyone fought for what they wanted or simply spoke up.
So, I reduced the number of times I spoke and talked to people I didn’t like, throwing in a few sarcastic remarks.
But not much.
Just when he thought he would spend his elementary school years feeling bored, Valerie appeared.
When Derek saw her for the first time.
He felt that his whole body was trembling.
He was small, but he could also see something from Valerie.
An incomprehensible sadness.
Tsk.
I didn’t want to think about it anymore.
It was strange why she appeared so disheveled in her own house.
But still, take care of what needs to be taken care of.
They had a cold.
Galen returned to the room and found Valerie nestled in the blanket, chatting with Ramona and Lamar.
“Little girl, are you feeling comfortable?”
Valerie remembered wanting to talk to Galen, but she was pushed back by this old man.
“Derek asked you to lie down properly and talk to us while lying down.”
The old grandfather smiled as he looked at the soft and cuddly little girl lying on the bed, and his heart overflowed with warmth.
“Thank you, Grandpa.”
The little girl’s gratefulness struck a chord in the hearts of the three people in the room.
So cute!
The girl was really cute!
Galen paused to calm his emotions.
“Cough, cough, I know you, you are Miss Valerie from the Horton family. You also participated in the variety show with Tucker. Grandpa watched it too. You are amazing, and you can even cook and bake bread?”
“What? Dad, are you joking! How can she make bread at such a young age?”
Lamar was quite straightforward in his emotions. He directly questioned aloud, and in response, he received a resounding slap on his back from Ramona.
“Would our dad crack jokes! You shut up first!”
Galen glanced disdainfully at Lamar, took out his phone, and found a compilation video of Valerie cooking and making bread.
“You see, look at it yourself!”
Three people, right in front of the person involved, disregarded whether the person felt embarrassed or not, and casually turned up the volume of their phones to the maximum, and started watching videos.
Help me!
So embarrassing!
Valerie shamefully buried her face in the blanket!
This was a scene of a large–scale social death!
What made her even more shy was Ramona’s and Lamar’s constant exclamations and praises.
She felt itchy in her heart when he praised her.
“Can I call you Valerie?”
After watching the video, Ramona immediately rushed to Valerie’s side, her tone became extremely gentle, like coaxing a child, and the smile on the corner of her mouth never faded.
“Um, okay.”
Valerie shyly nodded, and this small gesture made Ramona’s heart burst with happiness!
She could hardly restrain herself from going forward to hug Valerie.
Galen laughed for a while and immediately regained a serious expression.
“Alright, Valerie, Grandpa has something very important to ask you now. Why were you sleeping alone in that park?”
Dong!
Valerie’s shyness and embarrassment just dissipated.
She clenched the edge of the blanket with both hands, covering half of her face, only revealing a pair of anxious eyes.
How should she explain it?
Did you say you ran away from the Horton family? Took a bus to this suburb and didn’t expect the Fisher family to live here?
And was also brought over by Lamar?
Why did she escape from the Horton family, and how should this be explained later?
The more she thought, the colder her heart became, and the panic in her eyes caused Lamar’s pupils to contract.
His heart suddenly felt a pang of sadness.
He had seen a similar look in his eyes.
Just like Tucker when he was young, he was almost in a state of self- abandonment due to his weak health and frequent illnesses.
The despair and sadness in the bottom of my eyes were about to overflow.
He hurriedly stepped forward, patting Valerie’s little head and using his body to block Valerie’s gaze with Galen.
Galen was looked at with a hint of reproach.
“Dad! The little girl is currently having a cold! Why are you asking about this now? Are you still not letting her rest properly?”
After finishing speaking, he turned his head and gently smiled at Valerie.
“Valerie, we don’t need to pay attention to this strange old man. Let’s drink our medicine later and keep our bodies healthy!”
Ramona instantly looked up, wearing a strange expression as she gazed at her husband.
