Chapter 190

Valerie Will POV

I didn’t bother calling a driver anymore. I just drove myself back home. As I stepped into the house, I saw everyone in the living room.

Everyone, except for Patrick.

“Mama, where did you go?” Liam jumped out of the couch and pulled me into a warm hug. “You didn’t say you would spend the night outside.”

“I’m so sorry.” I apologized, ruffling his hair.

“Why didn’t you answer me when I called you.” Liam frowned as he broke the hug, staring at me with furrowed brows.

I didn’t even know what to say to him.

I just decided to change the subject. “Is your Daddy back?”

He shook his head. “No.”

Fortunately enough, he didn’t demand to know why I didn’t answer my phone anymore. After I talked to the boys for a few more minutes, I made my way upstairs.

My mother trailed behind me.

As soon as we stepped into the room, she fixed her narrowed gaze on me. “Valerie, are you seeing someone else?”
