Chapter 4 Valerie Is Disobedient

• The two of them were deadlocked in the kitchen. Kieran was becoming impatient. Due to work, he was unable to eat lunch earlier. He was getting a headache now from Valerie, who seemed to be in a foul temper. "I'm going to cook some corn." Valerie didn't want to speak with Kieran again, so she headed directly to the kitchen after that. Kieran's tone got serious as, for some reason, he became angry. "Valerie, are you attempting to agitate me?" This statement was affirmative. Valerie shook all over and carried a chair into the kitchen.She hadn't entirely overcome her fear of Kieran since her return.
• Valerie became alarmed by Kieran's indignant inquiry and felt compelled to turn back and give Kieran an explanation. She crushed a few grains of corn while holding the cob firmly. Valerie made herself stop worrying. Taking a deep breath, she looked up at Kieran. "No, I just want to cook corn for myself because I'm hungry." Kieran was irritated by Valerie's continued indifference and remoteness, which seemed to be an intentional distancing. He had something he wanted to say to Valerie. Then he saw the large, teary eyes of Valerie. Kieran had never really taken a serious look at Valerie before. She was slim, with slightly ginger-colored skin, dry hair that was little yellowish, and ginger hair.
• Zoe didn't want the pajamas she was wearing, and they had already faded from washing. Kieran was silent in awe at what he saw. All he could do was watch as Valerie deftly picked up the pressure cooker, filled it with water, and added the corn cob. With ease, Valerie lit the gas burner and waited for the hissing sound to come from the pressure cooker. The kitchen found itself in an unpleasant situation once more. Merely corn? The refrigerator still has a ton of ingredients. To get assistance, you can phone Jayvion. Right now, you're cooking by yourself. Do you think we've mistreated you? Glancing at her, Kieran asked in a low voice. Valerie's spines were clearly visible because she was so thin. Valerie spun around and gave Kieran a cool look.
• "I just want to eat something because I'm hungry." There was nothing else Valerie wanted to say. It got messier the more she explained. Valerie was indifferent to what Kieran might consider. her. The rumbling of the pressure cooker began. The sharp sound slightly eased the uneasy atmosphere. Feeling a little disoriented, Kieran peered at Valerie's frail form in the faint light. It was almost intolerable, his heart missing a beat like if it wanted to explode out of his chest and suffocate him. Kieran moved closer, seemingly drawn to Valerie.Now Valerie was someone else. She seemed really strange.
• Valerie was cunning and prepared to vanish before Kieran. Hiss. Valerie opened the pressure cooker's valve and let the gas out. Kieran snapped back to reality at this sound, giving Valerie an odd expression. Then, picking up his cup, he made himself a cup of coffee and went back to his study. Kieran could not concentrate at all on his job in the dark room. His brows wrinkled, he pulled out his phone to give Jayvion a call."Jayvion, please come prepare dinner." Alright, Mr. Kieran. Which food do you want to eat? It's not my cup of tea.
• It's intended for the girl. The girl? Jayvion was a little perplexed. Valerie is this young woman; Zoe went out to dinner with her parents. Jayvion was in a lot better mood even if he didn't understand why Kieran would care for Kieran. I get it, Mr. Kieran. I'll get the food ready and bring it to Ms. Valerie's room. Which food do you want to eat? "I have everything I need." Kieran calmed down as the call ended. He turned on his laptop and started working. In Valerie's hand was a corn cob. As she made her way to her room, she chewed on it. The maize in her hand tasted exceptionally delicious because she hadn't eaten all day. Valerie had just gone into her room and eaten half of the corn cob when Jayvion grinned and entered with a platter of food for her.
• "Mr. Kieran has requested me to make dinner for you, Ms. Valerie. You're eating raw maize, but why? I will be happy to prepare food for you if you are hungry. Jayvion did not wait for Valerie to explain; instead, he hurriedly set down the meal tray and grabbed the corn cob from her hand. Jayvion glanced at Valerie, his eyes full of concern. He pulled out his phone, planning to give the family physician a call.Jayvion didn't settle down until the pleasant and aromatic scent of the maize filled his nostrils. "Huh?" Was it prepared? Unsure, Jayvion snapped off a kernel of corn and shoved it into his mouth. It was prepared. "Miss Valerie, what cooking method did you use?" "A cooker under pressure." "Hiss." Fearfully, Jayvion gasped.
• Valerie's use of a pressure cooker to prepare corn was much more terrifying than the uncooked corn itself. Have you succeeded on your own? Have you suffered any injuries? Furious, Jayvion examined Valerie from head to toe, looking for any evidence of damage.There was absolutely no sign of damage. Jayvion thought, "This is peculiar. When did Ms. Valerie acquire her pressure cooker skills? Please come tell me if you're hungry, Ms. Valerie. You should not use a pressure cooker since it is extremely risky. "I get it, Jayvion." Warm light entered Valerie's eyes as she turned to face Jayvion.
• "Mr. Kieran instructed me to prepare dinner for you, Ms. Valerie. Eat, please. Valerie stood up and took the corn out of Jayvion's hand after taking a glance at the delectable meal on the table. I'm almost done with the corn cob, Jayvion. Just return the dishes to me. I can feel satisfied with just this one piece.” However, Ms. Valerie In particular, Kieran asked Jayvion to make the meal. Jayvion stayed mute, remembering Valerie's hunchback from earlier in the day. He was limited to returning the dinner to Kieran's study. "Mr. Kieran, Ms. Valerie asked me to bring dinner to you because she said she was full from the corn." Kieran's expression instantly darkened. The food on the table appeared delicious. He was not hungry at all, though.
• "What did Valerie mean by this?" he wondered.At this age, is she acting rebelliously? Does she attempt to use this strategy to get the family's attention? Valerie behaved herself very nicely last night. She gave Kieran some milk and some late-night munchies. However, she began to act out today. Zoe was obviously the only one who made sense! "I understand, Jayvion. This dinner can be shared with guests. I no longer require it. You don't have to update me on anything Valerie-related going forward. You can now depart.
• Indeed. Jayvion took dinner and went out of the study, shaking his head ineffectually.Why was Kieran so intransigent, and why was Valerie too? Valerie, however, was not treated kindly by the Horton family. Everyone's attention has been entirely on Zoe since her birth. Valerie had to learn how to interpret facial expressions from the age of two in order to respond appropriately. She was not allowed to be stubborn or act out to appease her family. If Valerie had surreptitiously left her house one day... They may fail to notice it at all!
