Chapter 3
In a lavish room somewhere, a group of children gathered. Their faces all bore expressions of frustration and annoyance.
Valentina Kenneth
Say something, will you!
Veronica Violetta
Mom just brought some random kid home.
Veronica Celestine
How can you be so sure about that?
Veronica Violetta
I just walked past Grandpa's room, and he told the butler to prepare things for his new granddaughter.
Valentina Kenneth
Should we tell our older brother?
Veronica Violetta
What's the point of telling him? He'll just scold us. Right now, we need to figure out what to do about that kid first.
Veronica Celestine
Why would Mom bring a child home when Yan just passed away?
Valentina Kenneth
Poor Yan.
Veronica Celestine
Should we just let that child disappear?
Veronica Violetta
Do you want Mom to scold us? She might even kick us out! Besides, I heard that when she picked up the baby, the whole desolate field behind the house became lush and green!
Valentina Kenneth
That’s impossible! That field has been abandoned for hundreds of years!
Veronica Violetta
Grandpa even told the butler that it must be a blessing from the divine!
Valentina Kenneth
Could it be that Mom and Grandpa are possessed? I’ve heard about cases like that!
Veronica Celestine
We should wait for Mom to explain everything!
Veronica Violetta
And that child didn’t even cry!
Valentina Kenneth
Maybe it's a child of a demon?
Valentina Zyran
Stop talking nonsense! /taps Celestine on the head/
Veronica Celestine
Ouch! That hurts! /rubs head/
Valentina Kenneth
Ah! Big brother!!
Veronica Violetta
Do you know anything about the baby Mom brought home?
Valentina Zyran
/Sits down/ I only know a little, but we should let Mom and Grandpa explain.
Veronica Celestine
Have you seen the baby yet?
Valentina Zyran
No, Mom is holding the baby tightly and won't let me go in to see or talk to her.
Valentina Kenneth
Do you think we should be nice to her?
Valentina Zyran
That girl took Yan's place, so why should we be nice to her?
Veronica Violetta
Alright, let's just leave it at that. After all, the decision is up to Grandpa and Mom.
Veronica Evie
Oh, sweet child, are you a blessing from the divine?
The chair creaked softly as the woman held the child tightly, refusing to let go.
It seemed that some force was compelling the woman to keep her eyes locked on the child.
Veronica Evie
I don't' know what name to you??
Veronica Evie
How about Rossetti?
Veronica Evie
Or Charlotte?
Veronica Evie
I think it would be better to ask Father about this.
The knocking on the door echoed in steady beats.
Mai
My lord, it’s time for lunch.
Veronica Evie
Alright, please go and call the children for me!
Veronica Evie
Alright, my daughter, it's time for lunch! /Carry the baby outside/
In the dining room for lunch
As the servants hurriedly brought in the food and set the table,...
Veronica Violetta
Stop yelling already!
Valentina Kenneth
I don't like the little girl!
The four siblings of the Valentina family walked together, chatting.
After all four of them had taken their seats...
Veronica Evie
Have you children been waiting long?
Evie, holding the child, skipped over to the dining table.
Valentina Kenneth
Mom, that's—
Veronica Evie
Ah, from now on, she will be a member of our family.
Veronica Violetta
But what about my Grandfather?
Valentina Zyran
Does Grandfather agree?
Veronica Evie
Father has agreed, now we just need him to name the girl, and we can finalize the paperwork for her.
Valentina Zyran
How about us??
Veronica Evie
I don't care, I love she so much!! /Sit down in the chair/
Veronica Celestine
But Yan just passed away, right?
Veronica Evie
Come on, my children, it's just that I picked—
Valentina Anore
Don't talk like that anymore, Evie; after all, you'll be adopting that little girl!
Veronica Evie
Father, your grandchild doesn't want me to take her in!
Valentina Anore
Alright, Chris will live with us from now on!
Valentina Zyran
Who is Chris??
Valentina Anore
This child will now be Valentina Christiana.
Veronica Evie
What a beautiful name, Father! It was definitely a good idea to let you name her!
Valentina Zyran
Why does she have the surname Valentina?
Veronica Celestine
If she is adopted, she should take the mother's surname, right?
Valentina Anore
The girl is an exception; we can't let her suffer!
Valentina Kenneth
No way!!!
Veronica Violetta
That's impossible!!!
Veronica Celestine
I don't like it!!!
