Marrying

Chapter 261 

Aiden heard the commotion outside and secretly took a look. He realized that his father was packing his things. He could not help but feel anxious. He quickly ran back to his room and called Valerie with an old phone. 

After the call connected, Valerie’s voice sounded. “Aiden? What’s the matter? Why did you call me tonight?” 

Aiden quietly wiped his tears. His sticky voice was already filled with sobs. He tried his best to hold back his tears and said, “Valerie… Valerie, my mother ran away. Dad is in a bad mood. He seems to be packing outside. Can you come over and comfort Dad?” 

Hearing Aiden say this, Valerie was a little surprised. She thought, ‘What did he mean that his mother had run away? Could it be that Ashley had done something?” 

The little guy’s voice made Valerie’s heart ache. She quickly said, “Aiden, don’t This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

Ty. I will be there soon!” 

At this moment, Matthew had yet to return. After Valerie hung up the phone, she sent a message to Matthew and rushed to Clutvale Estate. 

While Julian was tidying up, he had already contacted the intermediary to sell his apartment. Their neighborhood was not bad. Because of the urgent sale, the price was lower than the actual market price. When he heard the doorbell ring, Julian was surprised. He wondered if it was the intermediary. 

When he saw that it was Valerie, Julian was stunned. “Valerie, why are you here? Did Mom and the others find trouble with you again?” 

He subconsciously thought that Ruth and Clark must have gone to pester Valerie again. He thought, ‘Didn’t I warn them not to go last night? Why did these two go over again?‘ 

He immediately took out his phone and wanted to call Ruth to question her. 

Valerie quickly pulled him. “Julian, I’m here to see you!” 

“See me…” Julian’s movements froze. He looked around and saw that everything around him was already in a mess. He wanted to say that he was fine, but it was obvious that he was not. For a moment, he did not know how to explain to Valerie.

Sun, Jul 28 

Fortunately, Aiden rushed out at this moment. “Valerie, you’re here!” 

Valerie touched his head. When Julian saw the phone in Aiden’s hand, he understood everything. Clearly, Aiden had called Valerie over. Then, what happened at home could not be hidden from Valeric. Julian smiled bitterly, sighed, and continued packing. 

Valerie saw that there were suitcases and packed clothes in his room. She could not. help but ask, “Julian, what happened?” 

Julian–patted Aiden. “Aiden, go in and do your homework first. I’ll chat with Valerie.” 

Aiden sensibly entered the room. Only then did Julian say, “Valerie, Ashley cheated on me. Today, I caught them right in the act!” 

Valerie was shocked when she heard this. She did not expect Ashley to be so bold as to do this at home. 

Julian’s face was filled with pain. “Actually, I should have noticed it a long time ago. 

She suddenly started to dress up all the time! But I can’t believe it. I think she married here alone and doesn’t have any relatives or friends to rely on. I can’t let her suffer. She can do whatever she wants. If she wants to dress up, I’ll let her be. Sometimes, she came back a little late at night. She said that she had made a few new friends and I encouraged her. Now that I think about it, I asked for it. Now that everything is exposed, I don’t have to be so tired in the future. I’ll take Aiden and find a new place to start over. Anyway, I can live without her…” 

Valerie was heartbroken and angry when she heard that. “Julian, how did you handle it?” 

Julian said, “She wanted to snatch Aiden from me, but I didn’t agree. I asked for a divorce. I’ll divorce her tomorrow morning. I plan to sell this place and earn money in the future to raise Aiden alone. She wanted the apartment and my shop, I definitely won’t give them to her. However, it’s not easy for her to raise Aiden in the past. I’ll give her half of the money for the apartment so that we can part on good terms. In the future, she won’t have anything to do with me.” 

It had only been two days since they last met, but Julian had already become much more depressed. It was as if he had aged a few years overnight. Valerie was heartbroken and angry when she saw this. 

She had actually seen Ashley fooling around with a man once before, but Ashley 

had repeatedly promised that there would not be a next time. That was why she forgave Ashley on account of Aiden. She did not expect that Ashley would cheat again so soon and in her own apartment. She was simply not worthy of being a mother. 

“Julian, we still have to live on. You still have Aiden. Everything is for the sake of the child.” Valerie’s expression was cold. “Also, if you really want a divorce, we can’t let her take advantage of us.” 

Ashley knowingly committed the crime again and again. 

In Valerie’s opinion, Julian shouldn’t give her a single cent for this apartment. He might as well save it for Aiden’s future. 

Valerie thought, ‘If I find out who the man she cheated with is, I will definitely teach him a lesson!‘
