章 394: Safe Deal

The knock on the door was the only salvation Elena needed at that moment and she did not hesitate to rush to the door and open it. 

Elena had no idea whom she had been expecting, only that she wanted to get the hell out of there only for her to freeze as she caught sight of Prince Valerie. To be honest, she had been expecting his visit, but the fight with her mother had left her flustered. 

"Hello," Elena said breathlessly, looking over her shoulder at her mother who retreated and was suddenly demure. Of course, she was well-skilled in acting. 

"Hello." 

Valerie must have noticed her staring because he peered in too and caught sight of her mother which made him straightened up at once. 

"Hello, Lady Juan." Valerie curtsied, feeling awkward as he scratched the back of his head. 

He had been determined not to visit Elena but after that incident with his mother in her living quarters, the least he could do was to obey her instruction.
