Chapter 0527 Valerie got out of bed, woken by the insistent hunger of her babies. Her head felt like a tangled mess. She was dizzy, confused, unable to make sense of what was happening. How had her marriage ended up hanging by a thread? And why did she keep seeing Peter? Years ago, she had accepted that he was gone. She had never seen his body, but from that horrible night onward, she knew he was dead. She knew she shouldn't torment herself like this, but the strange sensation had taken hold of her. It was suffocating, unrelenting. Maybe she shouldn't have said anything, but if she couldn't tell Marcus, who else could she confide in? Now, she realized it had been a mistake-he hadn't taken it well.
'Damn it!' Her stomach growled loudly.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe night before, she had eaten the soup Camille made, though it had tasted like nothing to her. Camille had insisted, and though her babies nearly made her rush to the bathroom, she reasoned with them, telling them they needed to eat something. It wasn't pizza or sweets, so naturally, they had rejected it. But in the end, she managed to eat it. Valerie was almost certain one of her babies had inherited Marcus's habits. She wasn't a huge fan of pizza or tomato sauce, but now, being pregnant, she craved those things like never before.
She couldn't understand why Camille thought she was going to leave Marcus. It didn't make sense to her. Sure, she and Marcus had been arguing lately, but it wasn't enough to consider splitting up. She didn't understand Camille's questions.
Marcus had left the house the night before and hadn't cback. Valerie had tried calling his phone, but it went straight to voicemail. Knowing him, he was probably at Frederick's house. That man had becMarcus's family -his friend, his father. Even Valerie had seen him that way at times. Frederick always seemed to have the right words to calm any fear.
She didn't know what had angered Marcus so much. She had only been honest about what her mind had seen. She, hadn't said it because her heart held out hope. She knew Peter was dead. But she was scared-what if the pregnancy was driving her crazy? Valerie thought she needed therapy. Since arriving in Valentia, her emotions had been on a rollercoaster.
Lost in thought, as she often found herself lately, Valerie sat in the kitchen at 6:00 a.m., sipping milk and eating a slice of cake. Marcus always made sure there was cake-he had known her favorite since they were kids. Her husband was a good man. He and their little ones didn't deserve to be burdened by her worries. Maybe returning to Valentia had triggered something in her, reopening painful memories. She had been so young back then and had taken everything to heart. Maybe Marcus's idea of leaving Valentia wasn't so far-fetched. Her children deserved peace, not constant turmoil.
Before things spiraled further, Valerie knew she needed to take action. Years ago, she had a psychiatrist who helped her work through her childhood issues. If Peter and Caterina hadn't insisted on her going to that clinic, she wouldn't have made it through.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWhen Peter died, Valerie had longed for the comforting words of her psychiatrist. But at that time, there was no money and no therapist. She had returned to her hcountry, so she did what anyone would do-cried, wiped her tears, and went to work. Bills wouldn't pay themselves. Now, she could afford help, so as soon as she fed her babies, she planned to look for a psychiatrist or psychologist. She would tell them she was losing her mind, seeing ghosts, and hoped they could help-at least until her twins were born.
Poor John had been the most affected by all of this. She planned to check on him in a bit. If the driver could take them, she didn't see why they couldn't leave the house. Since the accident, she hadn't had a proper conversation with him. The night before, she had been exhausted, and the plan had been to sleep. But after the fight, everything had changed. Camille and Emma had been amazing, but she couldn't leave all the responsibility to them. She needed to see her little boy-and Serenity, who would probably walk through the door any moment now, ready for university.
