Chapter 16 The Warehouse

• Valerie suppressed the surging feelings in her heart and maintained her expressionless face as she returned to her room. She closed the room door and stood there still. She stood there in a daze. She gasped for air and tried to calm herself down. When she totally calmed down, she walked to the desk, took an adhesive tape from her school, and pieced the papers little by little. Occasionally, she would stop and stare at her homework in a daze. Then she came back to her senses and continued what she was doing. Her calm appearance made Jayvion, who was peeking at the door, feel a little shocked. He thought for a while and went to check the fridge in the kitchen.
• He wanted to see whether there were any desserts to cheer her up. He wasn’t there when Reyna scolded Valerie, but he heard about it from other servants. Valerie was really pitiful. Jayvion quickened his steps and went to see whether there were still any delicious desserts left. Those desserts were bought for Zoe by Reyna and Reese. Reyna and Reese said that when Zoe behaved herself, she could eat the desserts. So, there were really a lot of desserts in the fridge. Jayvion searched in his memory for Zoe’s favorite desserts. “Jayvion.” Reyna suddenly called Jayvion and shocked him. “Mrs. Horton, do you need any help?
• ” “Um… Nothing. Who’s angry? You are going to cook something again?” Jayvion stopped searching for desserts and felt a little nervous. When seeing Reyna’s sincere eyes, Jayvion still chose to tell the truth. “Mrs. Horton, I want to get Ms. Valerie some desserts. She has never eaten the desserts in the fridge. She looks upset tonight. I want to get some desserts to cheer her up.” Jayvion was serious when seeing this. He was observing Reyna’s expression. Indeed, after he said this, Reyna seemed to be shocked. “She has never eaten the desserts?” The desserts were bought for Zoe. That was true. But there were a lot of desserts in the fridge. Whoever wanted to eat the desserts could take some. Reyna frowned. “She can take some if she wants. Nobody forbade her to do that.”
