Valerie was non in a hurry. Before the came out, she had applied for an hour of leave Coupled with an hour of lunch break, two hours for a meal was enough. When she saw Sophis running so quickly, she was more worried that Sophia would full
Fortunately, although Sophia was slow when they is met and almost got into a car accident, she was usually very agile. At this moment, through the glass door, Valerie saw Sophia talking on her phone. Although she did not know what Sophia was talking about, she looked energetic.
Suddenly, Valerie saw a familiar figure from the corner of her eye. “Caleb?” she blurted out.
The other person froze for a moment. He turned and looked at Valerie. It was indeed Caleb. Moreover, there was a middle–aged woman dressed exquisitely and seductively beside Caleb.
“Valerie.” An unnatural expression flashed across Caleb’s face. He turned and said something to the woman. The woman left with a grin. Before she left, she stuffed something into Caleb’s hands. Valerie did not see it clearly.
Then, Caleb walked toward Valerie with a smile and sat down opposite her. “Valerie, I didn’t expect to see you here. Are you here to eat too?”
Valerie nodded. “Who was that?”
“My aunt. She came to see me, so I had a meal with her,” Caleb explained.
Valerie felt that the woman just now was dressed over the top. Moreover, she was holding Caleb’s arm at first. They did not seem like an aunt and nephew. However, the woman looked almost 40 years old, old enough to be Caleb’s elder. Perhaps she was overthinking.
Valerie changed the topic. “By the way, Caleb, where is Katherine?”
Caleb said, “Katherine is resting at home.”
Valerie had planned to ask how Katherine was doing and remind Caleb to take
good care of Katherine, but she remembered Katherine might not have told Caleb

about that, so she let it go even though she thought there was nothing to hide. After all, Katherine was the victim. But Katherine was proud and Valerie thought she could decide for herself.
Just then, Caleb suddenly said, “Valerie, the diamond ring on your hand has got to be a carat.
“It’s fake. I’m just wearing it.” Although there had asked Valerie to wear the real one, she w…

a real one at home and Matthew

After all, if she accidentally dropped the real diamond ring, her heart would ache.
Caleb did not believe it. His gaze quietly swept across Valerie.
Valerie did not look cheap. Not only was she beautiful, but she also had an indescribable temperament.
Now that the Internet was developed, there were many online celebrities. One could find any type they wanted. But although they were beautiful, they were indistinguishable.
Caleb had been in the live–streaming industry for many years and had seen many people. However, every time he saw Valerie, he could not help but sigh with emotion. If Valerie were in that line of work, she would conquer both men and women. Some people were born with extraordinary looks and would be remembered at a glance.
Moreover, this restaurant was not cheap. If Valerie could eat here on a workday, she did not lack money.
“Valerie, have you ordered? Why don’t you order some more? I’ll treat you,” Caleb said as he went to get the menu.
Valerie was about to explain that she did not come alone and that she had company when the waiter came to serve drinks. When Valerie raised her hand, th waiter was caught off guard and was about to pour the drink on Valerie. At the critical moment, Caleb grabbed Valerie’s hand and pulled her away.
The drink fell on the table and splashed on the spot where Valerie had been sittin
“I’m sorry. I’ll clean it up now,” the waiter quickly apologized.

“It’s alright. It’s my fault too.” Valerie came back to her senses and looked at Caleb.
“Thanks for just now.”
After saying that, Valerie wanted to pull he looked at her flirtatiously and took a tissue

move. Your face is also splattered. I’ll help you wipe it.”
Valerie did not notice a pair of black eyes staring coldly at her outside the glass. door.
