HER COMEBACK : CHAPTER 31 – 40
WRITTEN BY Diamond Zayne ??
CHAPTER 39
There was a short silence for a while. No one said anything to the other.
She made to stand but he held her hand. Her eyes bulged at his next words.
“Can… Can I hug you??” He requested and she froze, her eyes widened.
“Please, just for a while, please.” He said drowsily and Valerie swallowed hard and made to stand up from the chair without replying him when his head fell on her shoulder.
He let go of her hands, wrapping his hand around her stomach while he snuggled his head on her neck.
“Please, don’t go.” He whispered.
“Please.”
HER COMEBACK : CHAPTER 31 – 40
“She ran away from husband and children without even thinking, then 1881, when the war started with the people of Darwin, she came to her family and they didn’t accept her back. She wanted to know which-” Theo’s head fell on her shoulder and she stopped blabbering immediately.
“Really, you’re sleeping already… Hah.” She muttered with a sigh.
A smile slowly found it’s way to her lips and she touched his cheek.
“Why didn’t say you were tired? You fell asleep just yet.” She chuckled, before making him lie on the bed.
She covered him with the duvet and made to leave when he grabbed her wrist and pulled her to him. She landed on his body.
“Ah! Theo!”
“Please don’t go.” He said.
“What are you saying Theo? I’m not leaving, I’m only going to check on Alex.” Madison replied.
“Let’s sleep like this.” He whispered to her ear.
“But…”
“Shush.” He whispered again and dragged the quilt off him.
He hugged her tightly to himself, with his head buried on her b**bs.
“Goodnight heartbeat.” He whispered to her.
“Goodnight muffin.” She replied with a smile, pulling up the duvet. They both drifted to sleep, cuddling in each others arm.

Valerie gulped down, feeling emotional. She stood still in his arms for some minutes before, breaking his hold from her.
She laid him on the couch and stood up and made to leave but Jeffrey grabbed her wrist again.
“Please stay.” He whispered and Valerie lips shook. She pressed her lips tightly, curling it sideways, trying to suppress her emotions.
She slowly took her right hand to his hand on her other and removed it from hers.
“Goodnight.” She muttered and left briskly.
Jeffrey felt the cold wind hit him as she left. She was a shield to him. The warmness departed and he was again released to the coldness of the night.

MORNING
“I’m telling you dad. She didn’t even question me when I told her about my house catching fire. She blindly trusts me.” Valerie said as she rack through her wardrobe for a dress.
She had an airpod on her ear and her phone was on bed, it had Derek’s face on it. She was actually video calling him.
“That’s a good step Madi. I’m glad no one suspects anything fishy.” Derek said and she nodded, bringing out a dress as she walked to the bed.
“What about Theo??” Derek asked and she paused what she was doing.
Her mind flashed to last night.
“Madi??”
“He’s okay. He should be, he’s less of my concern anyways.” She said.
“Really?? You’re sure you don’t care about him?” Derek asked and she picked up the phone.
“Not now Derek.” She called his real name and Derek chuckled, getting she was not interested in the topic.
She only calls him by his name whenever she was displeased with something and is slowly getting pissed.
“Okay, if you say so.” He said and Valerie sighed.
“And Alex?” He asked.
“He is fine. I got to see him, but not alone.” She said and Derek nodded.
“I’ll call you later. Evan is calling.” She said and Derek nodded.
“Alright Madi, take care.” He said and she nodded before ending the call and picking Evan’s own.
“Good morning Miss Valerie.” Evan voice came in immediately.
“Today’s schedule. Place and time.” She requested.

A WHILE LATER…
Valerie walked downstairs to meet Jeffrey and Leo in the dinning room and she went to them.
“Good morning.” She greeted as she got to them. Jeffrey only nodded.
She turned to Leo and stroked his hair with a smile. He was already dressed in his uniform.
“Hi Leo. How was your night?” She asked but Leo didn’t reply her, he just picked on his food.
She looked at Jeffrey who wasn’t even looking at her and took her hand from him, dejectedly.
She looked around for Evie. Don’t they eat together??… As a family?
She thought sitting beside Leo. She stared at the so many dishes on the table before settling for one…
They were eating when the maid started started walking downstairs with so many luggages.
She raised a brow. Who was packing??
Just then Evie walked down the stairs, applying lipstick on her lips.
“Hey everyone!” She screamed, walking to the dining room.
“Evie??” Valerie called.
“I’m sorry Lerie baby, I can’t spend much time with you. I have a important business trip to go on. I’ll be meeting with the director of GLAM’S INDUSTRY in France. I’m sorry I didn’t tell you sooner, I promise to spend more time with you when I return.” She said and Valerie nodded.
“It’s fine. I understand.” She said and Evie smiled, then she turned to Leo who was looking sullen.
“Hey baby. What’s with that look? Mummy’s going for just few days okay, I promise I’ll-” Leo got down the chair before she could finish talking.
He walked to Kian, his driver. He was the one in charge of picking and dropping Leo off at school. He was actually waiting for Leo at the door.
“Let’s go Mister.” He said slowly and Kian nodded.
“Sure my boy.” Kian said and held his hand, taking him to the car.
Evie feigned a smile and turned to them. Jeffrey rolled his eyes at her, standing up. He simply picked up his briefcase on the chair and left the house as well leaving Valerie and Evie alone in the dinning room.
“Great.” Evie muttered.
“Alright Lerie, I’ll leave now. You don’t mind looking over my son for me?” She asked and Valerie smiled.
“Of course not.” She said and Evie smiled.
“Thanks.” Evie said.
“Welcome.” Valerie replied and Evie smiled before living the dining room and the mansion.
Valerie exhaled immediately she left.
“Okay, I must say… This is the most complicated family ever. Seriously??” She said.
