Chapter

Valerie had seen it coming. Quick as a flash, she grabbed Aiden and pulled him back a few big steps

The scene unfolded exactly as it had in her previous life

She looked up. The sunlight poured down, illuminating her fresh, delicate features, making her look even more stunning

Kelly was caught off guard, momentarily dazzled then quickly turned furious. She had missed

Aiden’s face darkened. He barked, Kelly, get down here!” 

Kelly, undeterred at being called out by name, just shrugged and said shamelessly, Didn’t see anyone down there. Oops, my bad.” 

Without another word, she picked up the basin and headed back inside

Aiden turned to Valerie, his face grim. Did it get on you?” 

Valerie shook her head

71

In her previous life, though, she hadn’t been so lucky. Half her body had been soaked through. Kelly had stood upstairs, shouting mockingly, Dressed like that are you here to mourn someone? There’s no funeral at our house, you know. Aiden, don’t just bring anything unlucky back home.” 

Before Aiden could even lose his temper, she had already scampered away

When Valerie had stepped inside back then, the elders in the living room had all stared 

ar 

her bedraggled appearance with open disgust

Soon after, Arianna had arrived, perfectly dressed and radiant, making Valerie look even more miserable and out of place

But today, things were different. She had picked out a proper gift, bought a new outfit, even had her hair and makeup professionally done deliberately arrived a little later than she had in her previous life

Sure enough, by the time she entered, Arianna was already there

– 

and had 

David had never been one to fuss over birthdays. The socalled celebration was really just an excuse for the relatives to gather and, more importantly, to size up Aiden’s future wife. But now, all their attention had been stolen by Arianna

Arianna’s voice was soft and sweet as she carefully set down her carefully prepared gift, explaining, This is a heated knee wrap for Ruth. Her knees always ache in the winter this should help keep her warm. I thought it would be perfect for her.” 

Noelle Walker beamed at her. Arianna, you really are so thoughtful! Whoever ends up marrying you will be incredibly lucky. I wish you could be part of our family…” 

Arianna smiled tenderly and said, No matter whose daughterinlaw I become, I’ve always been close to you. Being able to care for Ruth would make me 

so happy. I’ve always felt for youmanaging such a big household all on your own. Whenever I can, I want to help ease your burden. Even if I can’t officially join the Walker family, doing my part to help is the least I can do.” 

At her words, a wave of regret rippled through the room

Especially Noelle, who took Arianna’s hand and said with a sigh, Such a sensible, good girlI really thought you and Aiden would end up together. What 

a shame” 

Aaden’s mother Vivian Walker couldn’t help but feel a little regretful herself. She had always been fond of Ariannasweet, considerate, exactly the kind of daughterinlaw she had hoped for

But then that old engagement had suddenly resurfaced, and Aiden had stubbornly insisted on marrying some nobody from a small, insignificant family. With Aiden’s grandfather Waylon Walker landing firmly behind the arrangement, there was nothing she could say

Blushing prettily, Arianna suddenly broke into a delighted smile. Aiden!” 

In the Walker family, among the younger generation, Aiden was the sixth child

At her cheerful call, the relatives all turned their heads but the first thing they saw wasn’t Aiden himself. It was the stunningly beautiful young woman standing just behind him

Valerie stood there quietly, looking both beautiful and sweet, her face carrying a clarity and innocence that Arianna, for all her polish, simply didn’t have

It made her all the more captivating

In the Walker family’s living room, glances were exchanged some filled with amazement, others thoughtful. A few relatives lowered their voices to whisper, No wonder Aiden insists on honoring the engagement. She really is stunning.” 

Aiden led Valerie inside and introduced her coolly, Grandmother, Dad, Mom, Aunt, Uncle, this is Axel’s granddaughter, Valerie.” 

Valerie greeted each person politely, not missing a single title more than a dozen greetings in a row, and not one mistake

Even Aiden glanced sideways at her in mild surprise. Kelly, who had been itching to trip her up, froze, suddenly unsure how to act

She’s truly beautiful,Noelle said with a smile, standing up. No wonder she’s Axel’s granddaughter after all. What a beauty. No wonder Aiden is so smitten! Smashing up a milliondollar shop just to make her smile now that’s generous!” 

Noelle had always favored Arianna she was even a fan of her movies

In her previous life, Noelle had been one of Valerie’s harshest critics and one of the people she had disliked the most

Sure enough, as soon as Noelle spoke, Ruth Walker’s face darkened. Wasteful!she snapped

But Noelle just smiled meaningfully. How can you call that wasteful? Spending a little money for a beautiful woman? Perfectly normal.” 

As she spoke, she took Valerie’s hand warmly, her smile growing even sweeter. Right, Ms. Clark?” 

Valerie almost couldn’t keep from laughing bitterly. Noelle seemed all kindness on the surface, but every word she said was pushing her toward the 

edge

Aiden lounged lazily on the sofa, narrowed his eyes, and shot her a cold glance

There were few people in this family he truly respected and Noelle was definitely not one of them

Sniping at someone right in front of everyone she’d only gotten more skilled over the years

Aiden let out a cold laugh and was about to speak when Valerie beat him to it. She gave a calm, gracious smile and said, Hearing you say that makes me feel terribly guilty!” 

Her tone was polite yet poised, her smile easy and unflustered far calmer than anyone had expected

Noelle’s expression shifted subtly. Guilty? Whatever for?” 

Valerie turned toward Arianna. Miss Reed was there too. Why don’t we ask her to tell everyone exactly what happened?” 

The incident had just happened yet somehow, the whole family already knew about it? Obviously, Arianna had rushed to tell them. And if she thought she could stay out of it- she was dreaming

With that one sentence, everyone’s eyes shifted onto Arianna

Arianna’s heart skipped a beat, but she quickly recovered, smiling sweetly. I just told them what I saw. It was a pretty big scene, after all. Sooner or later, the family would’ve heard about it anyway You’re got upset with me, are you?” 

Of course not,Valerie said lightly. Everyone loves a bit of gossip. I’m just curious 

– 

what exactly did you say?”

Arianna smiled and said, I simply told the truth.” 

At that, Aiden let out a cold chuckle and kicked the chair next to him

The chair scraped loudly against the floor, making Arianna jump, her face going pale

Aiden’s sharp, hawklike eyes pinned her in place. His voice was low, laced with chilling amusement. Then did you also tell them the part where you accused my wife of being Josiah’s mistress? Or how you said she was selling herself for money?” 

The moment the words left his mouth, the living room fell dead silent

All at once, every pair of eyes turned to Arianna
