Chapter 13: Slap Him Back With the Mechanical Armor

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

On the topic of divorce, Valerie asked her mother, “Mom, are you going to divorce Dad? Although I don’t like him being so nice to Madeline, I intuitively told myself that Madeline couldn’t be his daughter. When you adopted her, didn’t you secretly perform a genetic test?”

In terms of features and temperament, Madeline was unlike Valerie at all.

Unless Madeline’s genes were mutated?

Still, such a degree of mutation would be too much.

Ruth frowned. “I know, but he’s too nice to Madeline! Yesterday, Isaac obviously couldn’t come because of Madeline! But then your dad said you weren’t sensible! No matter what, I just can’t accept that!”

Valerie said, “Mom, Isaac is already in the past. He’s not important, so Madeline isn’t important either. You don’t need to divorce Dad because of my affairs. Of course, if he did something wrong to you, then I’ll wholeheartedly support the divorce. Also, it’s not right to hit someone. Once it starts, there’s no stopping it. It absolutely can’t be condoned! Next time he dares to slap you, you should slap him back with the mechanical armor.”

“That’s what I was thinking!”

Just as they were talking, Nick opened the door and came in. “Mom, Grandpa asked Val to see him.”

Currently, apart from Valerie and Ruth, the rest of the Sullivans still did not know the true identity of the groom last night!

On the way to Grandpa Sullivan’s study, Nick berated Valerie in a low voice, “It’s all because of you that Mom and Dad are going to get a divorce!”

Valerie raised her eyes and looked at her second brother who was in the entertainment industry.

She smiled coldly. “Why don’t you blame Isaac and Madeline?”

“Why do you say that? Maddy was in a hurry to attend your wedding, and something happened to her on the way. If Isaac hadn’t rescued her in time, she might have died!”

Valerie could not be bothered to listen to these excuses.

When something happened to Madeline, her first reaction was to ask her future brother-in-law, Isaac, for help. Was this normal?

Only a fool would be fooled.

“Nick, since you like Madeline so much, just treat her as your actual sister then.”

“You think I like being your actual brother?!”

“That’s why I’m not forcing you.”

Valerie ignored Nick, who was hopping with anger, and walked to the old man’s study. She closed the door, shutting out her foolish second brother.

Grandpa Sullivan was sitting on the sofa, wearing reading glasses and looking at a cookbook.

The recipes from the time of the ancient earth had been lost. The book in the old man’s hand was a manuscript painstakingly compiled over many years. Many of the recipes in it were incomplete, but the old man still regarded it as a treasure.

In this era, even such a tattered and incomplete manuscript could fetch sky-high prices!

Seeing his granddaughter come in, he carefully placed the cookbook under the glass cover on the table.

Valerie only glanced at it before turning back to Grandpa Sullivan.

Back when she transmigrated to the ancient earth, she happened to join a family of chefs. The dishes recorded in this book were not comparable to the number of dishes she had learned.

Of course, Valerie did not tell anyone about this for the time being.

She said politely, “Grandpa, did you want to see me?”

“Where’s that kid?”

“He had something to do, so he left first.”

Valerie still revered her grandpa. Although she did not want to deceive him, she might be breaking off the marriage with Jonathan tomorrow, so at this time, it was better not to create more problems.

She went to the tea table, poured a cup of tea for the old man, and said, “Grandpa, under the circumstances at that time, if I didn’t find someone to marry, I might be randomly assigned a man. What if I was assigned someone ugly and wicked?!”

Grandpa Sullivan accepted the teacup, feeling helpless.. “So, you like this one then?”
