Chapter 100 Are You Valerie? (2)
“Of course, if you’re willing, I will try my best to keep you from meeting them.”
After saying these words, Derek held his breath and observed Valerie‘ expression.
Sure enough, Valerie stiffened for a moment when he mentioned the Horton family.
But she stiffened for a moment and then fell into contemplation.
Then a slightly awkward expression appeared, which is the expression that arises when facing unfamiliar people.
“Well… I don’t mind at all, you know. After being apart for so many years, I don’t have the slightest bit of feeling toward them anymore. Does it make me seem heartless to say that?”
Valerie carefully watched Derek.
This is her truth, the people from the Horton family, in the previous life, she had no feelings for them anymore.
Not to mention this time, she was fortunate to come to the Fisher family and felt their love and care for her.
That being said, although it was very unethical, she truly had no feelings left for the Horton family.
We had already become strangers, so even if we met, it might be awkward.
But it doesn’t prevent me from communicating with them
“Tomorrow is your coming–of–age ceremony, and naturally, I hope you can receive support from various aspects. Although the Horton family is not very pleasant, their financial resources are indeed abundant. You don’t need to worry about me, just face them with your own thoughts.”
Valerie spoke objectively, with no emotional fluctuations in her heart, but it still made Derek feel a pang of heartache.
He got up and approached, wanting to rub Valerie’s head.
But he managed to restrain himself forcefully.
“Sorry, Val… Tomorrow we will try our best to keep you from meeting them.”
Valerie opened her eyes wide.
“Oh, there’s no need to apologize to me! On the contrary, I have already gained a lot from being with you all, so you just focus on yourself and have a successful coming–of–age ceremony!”
As for the members of the Horton family,
After being apart for these 10 years, it is a question whether they can recognize themselves.
At this moment, Valerie was filled with confusion.
It doesn’t matter, even if I had to encounter the people from the Lu family, all for the sake of Derry.
Just don’t admit it.
“Val… Alright, I understand. I will org nize this coming–of–age ceremony well, but I still hope you won’t meet them.”

In the end, he gently rubbed his head and felt the softness in his hands.
Derek made up his mind.
“Okay, it’s time for you to go to sleep. Don’t keep staring at the computer all day, be careful of nearsightedness.”
Calvin said that your shooting performance has been declining recently.
“After my coming–of–age ceremony, let’s go get our vision checked.”
Valerie’s mouth rarely pouted.
“Got it. I will go to sleep now. Are you my mother?”
Derek couldn’t help but laugh softly.
“If you don’t want me to nag, then adjust your work schedule properly and don’t keep staring at the computer. It’s really not good for your eyes.”
After speaking, Derek paused for a moment.
“Um, Val, after the birthday party, do you want to go out and relax? Have some fun?”
Valerie saved the edited video and turned off the computer.
Upon hearing Derek’s proposal, she turned her head to look at the big boy.
Well…
These years have been spent striving in life, exercising, and researching editing.
I indeed didn’t go out to plev much.
