Chapter 73 Can’t Go Back (1)
In addition to Derek, who was preparing dinner for Valerie, there were also Ramona and her son.
The other three people exchanged glances and silently left the room, giving him space.
“Grandfather…”
Calvin lowered his tone, he had just gotten so close, it was not intentional at all.
He really didn’t expect Valerie to be scared.
In Galen’s mind, recalling the video of Valerie being beaten, he glared at Calvin with displeasure.
“Did you also watch her live stream? Can’t you pay a little attention?”
“Was…”
This time, Calvin had nothing to say.
He obediently lowered his head and admitted his mistake, accepting Galen’s scolding.
Lamar tapped Galen’s shoulder.
“Okay, Dad, Calvin didn’t mean to do it.”
The three of them fell into silence once again.
“You guys should take good care of her next. Oh, by the way, we don’t have any clothes for a little girl at home. I’ll go and check now, and buy some. After that, all of you should be careful not to scare her, okay?”
Galen had been thinking about this matter for a long time. He had already been pondering over this question while having dinner.
The clothes at home were all for boys, and there were only clothes for daughters–in–law in women’s clothing, which Valerie couldn’t wear.
Now he didn’t waste a moment and went with the butler to pick out beautiful clothes for Valerie.
Valerie drank two bowls of porridge with side dishes, under the gaze of a crowd.
Derek stared at her as she sipped the drink in small sips. He held a piece of white paper in his hand, folding it in half and fanning it toward the large bowl of white porridge, repeatedly.
He didn’t want her to get burned.
Tucker occasionally glanced at Derek standing beside him, his eyes filled with a hint of surprise.
But it quickly subsided.
At home, the only person I had a good relationship with was Derek.
The two individuals had different conditions, but the situations were similar.
They all had an inexplicable sense of helplessness.
This cousin will have a different opinion about Valerie, Tucker doesn’t find it strange.
“Valerie, after you have recovered, don’t go to school for classes. I will come back to give you private lessons. Otherwise, if you go to school, your family members will come looking for you.”
Derek held the empty bowl that Valerie had finished eating, exerting a slight force with his hand.
Valerie glanced at the little boy in front of her and couldn’t help but feel like laughing.
Did they come up to me directly when I arrived at school?
The possibility is really slim, even if it was found.
She could already imagine what they would say.
But this would trouble him, and Valerie felt a little embarrassed.
“That would be troublesome for you, Derek. After school, please come to Valerie’s room to give her extra lessons.”
Without waiting for Valerie to speak, Tucker answered for her directly, not giving Valerie any chance to refuse.
Derek’s eyes were fixed on Valerie as he observed her expression. He saw her nodding in agreement to Tucker’s words.
He relaxed his grip on the bowl.
“Okay, no problem. Remember to take your medicine and rest well.”
Derek, who used to be arrogant toward others during the day, had completely lost his arrogant demeanor in front of Valerie.
Ramona came in carrying a basin and ointment.
“Alright, the men have all gone out.
Because of a cold, she could only help her wipe her body. This task could have been done by the maid, but Ramona remembered the video of her being beaten in the morning, so she took over the task.
She was afraid that the servants would not be careful and hurt Valerie.
