Chapter 6 Send Her to School

Reese’s pupils trembled slightly, and his mouth unconsciously opened.

He found it hard to breathe.

Father?

Valerie’s expression remained unchanged.

Her eyes were clear and bright, but cold.

In the depths of her eyes, there was no sign of Reese.

“Valerie…”

“Yes, father.”

Reese’s voice was low.

Valerie did not flinch. She looked straight at Reese. Slowly and steadily, she called out “Father“, which made Reese’s heart ache a bit.

“Dad!”

Reese recalled the soft voice when Valerie called him “Dad“.

What expression did she have when she called Reese “Dad“?

“Bang!”

The sound of a cup forcefully hitting the table startled Valerie.

She looked at Reese in confusion, whose cheeks flushed in anger.

“I told you to address elders properly. So, you deliberately did so to annoy me, didn’t you?”

“Cannot I call you ‘Father“? Isn’t that a more respectful way of addressing an elder?”

Reese was furious.

He wondered, “What is going on?

“What happened to Valerie?

“She keeps her distance from me. What does she want?”

Ah?

“What are you doing?”

Kieran, who had not slept well last night, entered the dining room and immediately sensed the strange atmosphere.

Reese’s rationality was brought back by Kieran’s voice.

“Kieran, you come at the right time. Look at Valerie. Her character has changed! She’s even contradicting us!”

Reese angrily pointed his finger at Valerie.

Kieran’s brow twitched.

He had seen the way Valerie was even before his father did.
