They Revived Me: Surrounded by Adoration as a Supporting Role

Chapter 6

Send Her to School  

Reese’s pupils trembled slightly, and his mouth unconsciously opened.

He found it hard to breathe.

Father?

Valerie’s expression remained unchanged.

Her eyes were clear and bright, but cold.

In the depths of her eyes, there was no sign of Reese.

“Valerie…”

“Yes, father.”

Reese’s voice was low.

Valerie did not flinch. She looked straight at Reese. Slowly and steadily, she called out “Father“, which made Reese’s heart ache a bit.

“Dad!”

Reese recalled the soft voice when Valerie called him “Dad“.

What expression did she have when she called Reese “Dad“?

“Bang!”

The sound of a cup forcefully hitting the table startled Valerie.

She looked at Reese in confusion, whose cheeks flushed in anger.

“I told you to address elders properly. So, you deliberately did so to annoy me,  didn’t you?”

“Cannot I call you 'Father' Isn’t that a more respectful way of addressing an elder?” Reese was furious.

He wondered, “What is going on?
"What happened to Valerie? "

“She keeps her distance from me. What does she want?” 

“What are you doing?”

Kieran, who had not slept well last night, entered the dining room and immediately sensed the Strange atmosphere.

Reese’s rationality was brought back by Kieran’s voice.

“Kieran, you come at the right time. Look at Valerie. Her character has changed! She’s even contradicting us!”

Reese angrily pointed his finger at Valerie.

Kieran’s brow twitched.

He had seen the way Valerie was even before his father did.

After Reese accused Valerie, the three sat awkwardly in the dining room.

Valerie had lost her appetite.

She just wanted to go back.

And she did just as she thought.

“I’m leaving first. I’ll come back later.”

“Wait! Is this how you should behave?”

Reese stood up abruptly, stopping Valerie from leaving.

Valerie’s brow finally moved.

“Father, is there anything else?”

Now it was Kieran’s turn to widen his eyes.

“Father…”

Kieran mumbled to himself.

A trace of gloominess appeared in Kieran’s sharp gaze.

“Valerie, let’s have a proper conversation today. Dad is also here. If you have any grievances, you can talk to us and explain why you did this.”

Kieran pulled out a chair, crossed his arms on the table, and examined Valerie.

Reese also sat down. He propped his elbows on the table with his hands on his chin.
