Araceli POV
Cold sweat oozed from my forehead, and I didn't dare to move.
At that moment, Valeria suddenly reached out and slapped him gently.
She was just a little girl, so the slap shouldn't hurt at all, but it still made a crisp sound.
Raphael's face became livid.
I shuddered slightly, hurriedly led Krish and headed out.
Raphael was also stunned.
He didn't expect Valeria to slap him at all.
I apologized as I opened the door, "Mr. Lancaster, I'm really sorry..."
As I spoke, I focused on Raphael's expression.
His face was getting colder and colder.
"Mr. Lancaster, I have to go now..."
I held Valeria, took Krish by hand, and headed out.
Valeria let go of my neck, looking self-conscious and apologetic.
I walked out of the courtyard and asked her, "Valeria, can you tell me why you came to Mr. Lancaster?"
I asked in a low and gentle voice.
She blinked in confusion, didn't say anything and shook her head.
