Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 2446

It was very late when Valerie finally returned home to the Reyes residence.

"Ms. Valerie, Ms. Theron would like you to come see her," Uriel said as he appeared out of nowhere like a ghost.

Valerie clutched her chest and grumbled, "Mr. Atkinson, you've got to stop sneaking up on me like that. You scared the hell out of me."

Uriel chuckled. "I just had to make sure you were behaving yourself. If you weren't, I'd have to step in for Mr. Reyes Senior and give you a little reminder of manners."

Valerie said coldly, "Dad and you are always worried about me. But don't you realize I'm a grown adult now? I'm no longer that silly girl who needs constant lectures. I'm a Major General in the military now. I have my own subordinates. I can handle any situation."

Uriel shook his head. "Unless the day comes when I'm dead and buried, I'll never stop looking after you, Miss. It's my duty to keep you in line."

Valerie felt displeased, but she did not dare act out against Uriel. She took a deep breath and asked, "What's this about anyway?"

Uriel replied, "It's about your marriage. You'll understand when you go see Ms. Theron."

Valerie's eyes widened, and her tone turned sharp. "My marriage? She's trying to marry me off? No way! That's not happening. I'm not done having fun, and I'm definitely not getting married. Not in this lifetime!"
