Chapter 59 Suffocating *

• ** “Beep–beep–beep…” The three of them remained still in their original positions, frozen for a second or two. Tucker’s pupils contracted intensely as he looked at Valerie in disbelief. On a young and innocent face, it remained so plain. Light and breezy, it seemed unrelated to oneself, but those eyes began to lose their sparkle again… As Tucker grew angrier, his heart began to grow colder… Valerie seemed a bit strange… He squatted down next to Valerie. “Valerie! Did you tell your brother the truth? Is your family treating you like this?” Valerie’s chaotic eyes finally snapped back to reality as Tucker was now earnestly questioning her. His slightly chilled hands gripped Valerie’s shoulders, trembling slightly. “Thanks… Tucker, it’s not like that. I’ve just been having some conflicts with my Bruce recently, so our relationship has become a bit strained.” Valerie spoke emphatically.
• But what she received in return was Tucker’s face full of complete distrust. At this moment, Valerie chose to remain silent. Silence is the best explanation. Tucker’s heart sank with a thud. “Okay, I understood. Are you going back tomorrow?” Valerie nodded, otherwise, according to Bruce’s personality, he would really come running and forcibly drag her away. Tucker nodded heavily. “Okay, tomorrow I will go back with you.” “Didn’t you continue recording, Daddy?” “You were not here anymore, what’s the point of me being alone here?” Tucker gently patted her little head and went inside with a backpack on his back. The two of them didn’t speak a word in tacit understanding. After entering, they immediately blended into the crowd and began to share their spoils.
• David was alone, holding a slightly warm phone in his hand, reminiscing about the recent phone call. He looked at Bruce’s name in his phone contacts. He scratched his hair irritably. “Tsk, bad luck!” Angry, Bruce changed the name of the phone, but he still went in and continued to command the scene. This time’s harvest, the ultimate winners were Carlo and Hallie. The reason was that when Carlo fell down on the mountain, he found a place full of mushrooms, and all these mushrooms were edible. When should we pluck it if not now? The two of them had a meal together, and their two backpacks were almost unable to fit everything. The two of them excitedly high–fived each other, a luxurious dinner! They have arrived! Tucker and Valerie lightly applauded and then immediately got into the car and went back.
