Chapter 4 Valerie Is Rebellious

They were at a stalemate in the kitchen.

Kieran’s patience was wearing thin. He didn’t have time to eat lunch earlier because of work.

Now, because of Valerie, who seemed to be in a bad mood, he had a headache.

“I will go and cook corn.”

After that, Valerie went straight to the kitchen, not wanting to talk to Kieran again.

For some reason, anger suddenly rose inside Kieran, and his tone became serious.

“Valerie, you are trying to provoke me?”

This was an affirmative sentence.

Valerie, who brought a chair to the kitchen, trembled all over.

She had just returned, and her fear of Kieran hadn’t completely dissipated.

Hearing Kieran’s angry questioning, Valerie panicked and wanted to turn around and explain to Kieran.

She tightly gripped the corn cob and crushed a few grains.

Valerie forced herself to calm down.

She took a deep breath and turned to face Kieran.

“No, I’m just hungry, so I want to cook corn for myself.”

Just like before, Valerie was indifferent and distant, as if she was deliberately keeping a distance from Kieran, which annoyed Kieran.

He wanted to say something to Valerie. Then he met Valerie’s watery big eyes.

This was the first time Kieran had looked at Valerie seriously.

She had dry and somewhat yellowish hair, slightly ginger–colored skin, and a thin figure. She wore the pajamas that Zoe didn’t want, which had already faded from washing.

The shocking sight silenced Kieran. He could only watch Valerie skillfully pick up the pressure cooker, pour water into it, and put in the corn cob.

Valerie easily turned on the gas stove, waiting for the pressure cooker to make a hissing sound.

The kitchen once again fell into an awkward situation.

“Just corn? There are still plenty of ingredients in the refrigerator. You can call Jayvion to help you. You are now cooking by yourself. Do you feel that we’ve streated you?”

Kieran looked at her and asked in a deep voice. Valerie was so skinny that her spines were prominent.
