Valerie’s POV “r***d? And you think that I'm so dumb to fall for such a lie right?” I reached out to my neck, running my fingers on it. Maybe it would calm me down or so I thought. “Valerie, you are overreacting. You trust this man over your mother?” “Mother, me? I’m overreacting.” “Okay, tell me it is not true. Tell me you can and you will explain right here. Maybe I didn’t get it properly. Maybe I am just making speculations. Prove me wrong then.” I lashed out, my voice hoarse and pain-filled. “We were both under the influence of alcohol. He won't tell you that part.” She defended. My gaze fell on Kendrick. I was beginning to doubt his age. After all, he looked way older than the age he goes around telling people. After some thoughts, gradually, I began putting 2 and 2 together.
