The child just came out of the bathroom looking flushed. His milky white skin had red patches from the hotness of the water and his hair was dripping.

Valen furrowed his brows. ‘Apologize? When has Jeslyn ever apologized to him?’

The more Valen thought about it, the more he felt suspicious of her.
