Chapter 50

  Araceli POV

  Valeria was significantly more cheerful and less gloomy when she had Raphael around.

  I could no longer selfishly make choices for Valeria...

  I glanced at Krish. He turned his head and stopped looking at them. His expression was serious and somewhat worried.

  I understood what Krish was thinking, but there was nothing I could do. I held my forehead and was a little troubled.

  I thought about it and walked over, ready to pick Valeria up.

  Valeria stubbornly clung to Raphael's thigh and wouldn't let go.

  I couldn't pick her up no matter what.

  "Ms. Chancey, is it okay if Daddy and I just spend the night here?" Essel blinked her big eyes. "Don't worry, Ms. Chancey. I can sleep in the living room!"

  Raphael frowned slightly and said, "Ms. Chancey, if it's okay with you, Essel and I can stay here for the night."

  I froze.

  What?

  Did he mean to stay here for the night?

  I pressed my forehead and said in annoyance, "Valeria, let go!"
