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 be cause of work.
Now, because of Valerie, who seemed to be in a bad mood, he had a headac he.
“I will go and cook corn.”
After that, Valerie went straight to the kitchen, not wanting to talk to Kieran ag ain.
For some reason, anger suddenly rose inside Kieran, and his tone became se rious.
“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 arou nd 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 anno yed 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, whi ch 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 sou nd.
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 he r spines were prominent.
Valerie turned around and calmly glanced at Kieran.
“I’m just hungry and want to have something to eat.”
Valerie didn’t want to say anything else. The more she explained, the messier it became. Valerie didn’t care what Kieran would think about her.
The pressure cooker started to rumble. The harsh sound reliev ed the awkward atmosphere a little bit.
In the dim light, Kieran looked at Valerie’s weak figure, feeling a bit dazed.
His heart missed a beat as if it wanted to burst out of his chest and block his b reath, making it a bit unbearable.
Kieran inexplicably approached, wanting to touch Valerie.
Valerie was different now.
She was so unfamiliar.
Valerie was elusive, ready to disappear before Kieran…
Hiss…
Valerie removed the valve of the pressure cooker, releasing the gas inside.
