She’s Used to a Poor Life

Valerie looked at Kieran and Jayvion.

She smacked her lips in amazement.

Was 1,600 dollars a small number?

In her previous life, she would become a rich woman with this amount of money.

The Horton family was asking too much.

Valerie understood.

“Kieran.”

Valerie called Kieran’s name.

Kieran turned to look at Valerie with somewhat panic.

“It’s okay. I will increase your pocket money… Just tell me what you want, and  I will buy it for you.”

Kieran bent down in front of Valerie for the first time.

Valerie had to survive in this family with 1,600 dollars a month.

Kieran felt a bit bitter in his heart.

“Well, I meant that 1,600 dollars a month is enough for me. I bought something for my family before, so I was short of m oney. But I don’t buy any now. I eat at home and go to school during the day. 1,600 dollars is actually a bit too much.”

Valerie wouldn’t be able to pay the money back if he gave her more,

Kieran was stunned,

Valerie used to buy them some nutritious food,

He didn’t think too much back then…

Did she buy all those with her pocket money?

“Valerie…”

“It’s okay, Kieran. I will spend unnecessary money if you give me more, I don’t  want to withdraw money from my bank account, either. A stack of notes would be fine.”

Valerie stopped Kieran’s words.

“But Valerie, you’re in school now. If you don’t have much pocket money, it won’t be enough for you to hang out with your friends.”

For those who went to private schools, they went to fancy places for fun. 1,600 dollars was like 16 dollars. It wasn’t enough at all.

Valerie shook her head.

“Don’t worry. My friends and I won’t go to fancy places.” What?

Kieran didn’t mean so.

“Valerie…”

“Ms. Horton, the dinner is getting cold.” Jayvion interrupted them.

He felt the food on the tray was becoming cold, so he quickly said so.

Kieran glanced at Jayvion but couldn’t say anything.

He indeed interrupted Valerie’s dinner.

“Go ahead and eat your dinner.” Kieran sighed and left.

“Ms. Horton, will the pocket money be enough for you?” Jayvion asked her in a low voice, a bit concerned.

“It’s okay, Jayvion. 1,600 dollars is a lot of money for me.”

She wasn’t lying. She only took some money to buy pieces of cloth, embroider y things, and some basic tools for shooting videos.

That was enough.

Valerie didn’t have any friends in the school.

She wouldn’t spend any money on hanging out with friends.
