Chapter 21 She Gets So Little Allowance

In a daze, Reyna led Valerie to her new room.

Only then did she realize that Valerie had fallen and got hurt.

“Does it hurt, Valerie? I’ll apply some ointment for you later.”

“It’s fine. The wounds will mostly recover tomorrow.”

Valerie wasn’t intending to give Reyna a chance.

Watching Reyna lead her to a guest room, Valerie got a rough idea of what to expect.

“See, Valerie? This is the room your dad and I prepared for you! Do you like it?”

The room was smaller than her previous one but larger than the storage room.

It was in a log style, a simple collection of solid colors that Valerie dug.

“Well? Do you like it?”

Reyna asked cautiously and tentatively, observing Valerie’s expression as she asked.

There was still no change. Valerie still looked calm, and no one could tell her–emotions.

Reyna stared at Valerie’s face without blinking.

She wanted to hear what Valerie would say.

Valerie looked over her shoulder at Reyna, who looked nervous. Valerie sighed helplessly.

“It’s great. I love it.”

She sounded happy. Reyna was relieved at once.

“I’m glad that you like it. Be good from now on, OK?”

Valerie sneered silently.

She thought, “Be good?

You took my room, and I was put in the storage room. I was there for two years before you found out, and now you change my room.

You call it a surprise.

Since when has it been so difficult to have a room of my own in my own home?

How can a room be a gift?

It is normal for parents to provide their kids with a comfortable room.

I tried to talk to you many times in my last life before I was kicked out.

Yet I never got to.”
