Snowy said, “Commander Gunn’s SmartBit calls you ‘Madam’, so of course, I’ll call Commander Gunn ‘Sir’. This is the term of address automatically set by the system, so it’s not an error.”
“Change it!” Valerie said firmly, “change it to Commander Gunn!”
“All right.”
Valerie stared at the SmartBit for a long time, as quiet as a mouse, and finally summoned up the courage to send a message.
Valerie: “Commander Gunn, I apologize to you for what happened last night. Furthermore, you did me a favor, which I then returned, so we are even.”
Valerie: “So, what’s your choice?”
After a long time, Jonathan sent a reply.
Jonathan: “We’ll meet and talk.”
Valerie, “…”
This was the interstellar era where technology was extremely advanced. Was there anything that could not be done through a text, a call, or even a virtual projection?
To meet and talk…
Valerie was not looking forward to meeting Jonathan!
Nonetheless, after that, no matter how many messages she sent, it was like shouting into a void. Jonathan had decided not to reply.
Valerie raised her head and looked up, feeling that the sword of Damocles was dangling steadily above her.
Forget it, she should just assume that the commander was very busy, and had no time to pay attention to her now.
After the wedding, Ian had already returned to the Imperial Academy, and Nick had also left. He was preparing for his concert.
At this time, Madeline, who had been in the hospital for a few days, came back.
Unlike Valerie’s sweet and pleasant appearance, Madeline had slender eyebrows and sharp eyes. She seemed like a gentle person, but her gaze was steely. She was someone who could endure hardships.
She would work diligently to achieve her heart’s desires.
Nonetheless, she was a master of manipulation. As soon as she returned to the Sullivans’, she was still walking unsteadily. She limped to Valerie’s room and began to wipe away her tears.
“Big Sis, I’m sorry, it’s all my fault. Otherwise, Isaac would surely have made it to the wedding!
“I’m such a d*mn fool.
“I don’t ask for your forgiveness, I just hope you can reconcile with Isaac.
“If you guys broke up because of me, I’ll feel guilty for the rest of my life!”
Madeline’s award-worthy performance was so amazing that Valerie nearly choked. She quickly helped up Madeline who was still sobbing like a fountain and nursing her injured leg.
Valerie said sincerely, “Maddy, speaking of which, I’d like to thank you for letting me find true love.”
Madeline was stunned. “True love?”
“That’s right, precisely because Isaac couldn’t make it back in time, I had to find someone to marry. Then, I fell in love with someone at first sight, and we got married.” Valerie smiled shyly in a convincing manner.
However, she was secretly crying to herself.
Yes, it was love at first sight, but this love was not destined to last.
Madeline noticed that Valerie’s expression was genuine. She was flabbergasted.
She had put up such an agonizing act—was it not for the sake of stealing everything from Valerie?
However, now… Where did this “love at first sight” come from?
Madeline said in surprise, “Big Sis, what are you talking about? Don’t you like Isaac? You were betrothed at birth, childhood sweethearts who grew up together!”

‘If you give Isaac up so easily, I have no sense of accomplishment at all!’
Valerie nodded and recalled everything from that night carefully. She said, “My new husband is so beautiful. I’ve never met such a beautiful person. Moreover, he loves me very much and cherishes me. Well, you’re not even married yet, so why am I telling you all this?”
Madeline, “…”
Suddenly, her broken leg seemed to hurt even more—and not just her leg, but even her face was burning.
Madeline forced a smile. “Big Sis, aren’t you together with Isaac? You know, the marriage between you two is good for our family restaurant.. If you do this, will it affect our family’s business?”
