Chapter 225
This house belonged to Terry Morales. When his wife at the door saw Valerie, she felt that she looked familiar. When Valerie took off her sunglasses, the woman suddenly realized something. At about the same time, Terry heard the commotion outside and happened to come out to see Valerie.
Valerie smiled and was about to greet him, but the old couple quickly waved at Valerie and brought her into their house. Terry even closed the door, afraid that others would see Valeric
Valerie knew what was going on. She smiled bitterly and said, “It seems like you have heard about what happened to me.
Terry sighed. “So many people rushed into our village at once. It’s difficult for me not to know, Valerie, you’re really bold. Why did you choose to return to the village at this time? If those crazy people see you, you can forget about leaving today!”
Katherine could not help but laugh when she heard his words. “How appropriate”
As she spoke, a young girl walked out of the room. When she saw the two strangers, she quickly returned to the room shyly and only dared to secretly tilt her head outside.
Valerie asked, “Terry, Kay, is this your granddaughter? She’s so cute”
Kay was happy at the mention of her granddaughter. She immediately carried the girl out of the house “Kendall, come. This is Valerie.”
This child looked to be around five years old. She was soft and cuddly, but she had a pair of dark and bright eyes. She was very cute. Ever since Valerie was pregnant, she could not help but pay special attention to children, Just looking at her made Valerie’s heart melt.
Although Kendall was still a little shy after being carried out by Kay, she was much bolder than just now. She stared at Valerie and Katherine for a while before greeting them in a childish voice, making everyone laugh.
Kay sighed. “This child usually is with my son and his wife who are in the city. Although she is young, she is quite smart. Originally, I wanted them to send her back for me to take care of…
Terry took a sip of water and said, “Kay, you are always worried. Didn’t we agree not to mention this matter? It’s quite good for Kendall to be with them in the city. She can see more of the world”
He suddenly thought of something and kioked at Valerie. “Speaking of which, wasn’t Valerie like this in the past?”
“Mel” Valerie was shocked when she suddenly heard his mention her name. She had almost forgotten all her childhood memories. When she realized that someone still remembered, she could not help but ask, “Terry, do you still remember what I looked like when I was young?
“Damn, of course I remembert Of all the girls in the village, you were the most different Terry thought for a moment and continued slowly. “It was about twenty years ago. Back then, your parents were not doing well. In order to improve their situation, they went to the city to work. One year, they suddenly came lock and said that they really earned a lot of nancy. You were brought back at that time. At that time, the villagers even joked that your parents secretly had such a pretty daughter.”
Kay joined in the conversation and nodded repeatedly. “That’s right. At that time, you had just returned to the village and were wearing a beautiful dress. You were about Kendall’s age, but you were very sensible. You were not afraid of strangers. You greeted everyone you met. The villagers liked you very much. Later on, when you went to kindergarten, you even showed that you knew how to draw and write. Your peers couldn’t even count. however, you could already recite a lot of poems, I remember you even said that you knew how to play the piano at that time! Good lord, we had never seen a plano at that time, but you actually knew how to play it. At that time, the entire village was discussing how good the education in the city was. You must have learned this in the city with your parents! But it’s strange..
At this point, Terry suddenly put down the cup and couldn’t help but sigh. He hesitated and said, “Logically speaking, your parents had enrolled you in so many extracurricular activities in the city. We even leased that every family here valued boys more than girls, but your family instead valued girls more than boys. They spent so much effort to focus on you and didn’t value your brother. In the end….
Terry paused. He was too embarrassed to continue, but everyone understood what he meant. Other people might not know that Ruth treated her daughter badly, but Terry knew better than anyone else.
When Valerie had just finished junior high school, Ruth wanted to send her out to work. Valerie refused, and Ruth actually left her, who was twelve years old, outside the door in the dead of winter. It was only after Terry tried his best to persuade Valerie’s aunt to take Valerie in, but in reality, her situation did not improve at all
If it weren’t for Valerie working so hard, she might not be able to go to high school and end up being married to someone in exchange for wedding
gifts.
Terry still couldn’t understand why Valerie’s parents who doted on her so much back then suddenly ignored Valerie. Valerie’s drawing, writing, and plano skills were very decent. Terry felt that she could pursue a career in any of these fields if she received proper training. Terry and Kay were very regretful, but Valerie’s mood was quite calm.
She had long forgotten everything that happened when she was little. Now that she heard it, she found it quite novel. However, she did not like to complain or look back. She felt that only by accepting reality could she change it. Moreover, she was very satisfied with her current situation. She was also grateful that she had met Matthew. If not for her past, she might not have been able to marry Matthew.
However, if someone wanted to break everything she had, she would not agree. Taking a deep breath, Valerie explained the real purpose of her visit today. “Terry, do you still have the things that 1 handed to you for safekeeping”
