Marriage Resumption (Valeria and Hackett)

Chapter 157

"With my understanding of Hackett, how could he give up so easily? Are you sure he's not cheating?"

Valeria was slightly stunned. Then, she frowned. "He has already made it very clear to me. He wants Alex to know that he is his father. That's all. His request is reasonable."

"It's that simple? A person like Hackett, who had been pampered since he was young and could do anything at his will, would make such a simple request?" Keith still could not believe it.

She walked behind the desk and said as she packed up the documents, "Perhaps he suddenly doesn't want me anymore. I'm not gentle and obedient, and I'm always angry at him for going against him. Why does he want to remarry me? To suffer?" Keith was speechless.

The two of them were silent for a long time. Valeria sat in her office chair, sorting out the information and preparing for the court session in the afternoon.

Keith stood there for a long time.

She couldn't help but look up. "Don't you have to work during working hours?"

"Valeria, what about us? What about us?" Keith asked, his eyes burning with determination.

In the end, they changed the topic to this.

Valeria held a pen in her hand and rubbed it back and forth as if she was thinking about something.

After a while, she slowly said, "Let's return to our friendship. If you can't get past your parents, I can't either. Besides, you can't get past your ex-girlfriend either. To be honest, marriage without love, I don't think it's interesting now. You clearly still have Sherri in your heart, but you want to marry me. Do you want me to watch you contact Sherri from time to time?"

Keith was speechless.

It was true that he no longer had any feelings for Sherri, but if Sherri needed his help, he believed that he would still help

her.

He did not expect Valeria to mind this...

"Do you mind? You don't mind, do you? I'm just friends with Sherri now, and she's a little depressed recently, so I'm just accompanying her out of concern as a friend..."

Before Keith could finish speaking, Valeria had lost her patience. "Then accompany her well. It's just that I increasingly feel that we're suitable to be friends."

"Valeria..."

Keith still wanted to say something, but she didn't want to hear it anymore. "Alright, Keith, it's office hours now. Go back to work. There are quite a lot of cases in the law office. Don't waste time." Seeing her cold and resolute attitude, Keith could only give up and leave the office.

Valeria actually heaved a sigh of relief when she heard the door close.

Moreover, she was a little glad that Keith's parents did not agree to this marriage. Otherwise, what if she really married Keith?

Actually, she and Keith were very harmonious as colleagues and friends, but she would feel uncomfortable if they were

husband and wife.

Perhaps it was because there was no love between them....

Soon, night fell.

Ella Patel's divorce was done. She could come back at night to continue taking care of the kid. Valeria also felt much more relaxed.

Valeria dialed Hackett. The call went through quickly.

The man's deep voice came from the other end of the phone. "Yes?"

Ever since they made things clear last night, this man's attitude had become much colder. For a moment, she was really not used to it.

Valeria coughed and said, "Ella will be back today, so you don't have to pick Alex have time, go and see Alex first."

In the past, Hackett would have flown into a rage. However, this time, Hackett replied coldly, "Alright, I understand. Call me if anything happens." "Alright, then... go ahead."

Valeria hung up the phone awkwardly. This man's change overnight was really uncomfortable.

She raised her wrist and looked at the time on her watch. She still had a banquet to attend tonight and had to change her clothes.

Hence, she prepared to drive home first.

When she got home, Ella was making dinner for the child and Alex was doing a puzzle.

Ella heard the door open and walked out of the kitchen. "Valeria you're back. I'll make a few more dishes tonight."

"No, I'm going to a banquet. Just cook for you and Alex," Valeria quickly said.

Ella smiled. "Alright, Alex is saying that he's hungry."

Valeria walked up to Alex and patted his head. "Why didn't you call me mommy? How rude."

Usually, when she went home, this little guy would call her mommy in a childish voice.

Alex, on the other hand, was engrossed in the puzzle and dodged her hand impatiently. "Mommy, I want to finish this." Hackett said that after I finish this, he will take me to Universal Studios to play." Valeria's smile froze at the corner of her mouth. No wonder he was so serious. So it was a mission assigned by Hackett.

She couldn't help but mutter to herself, "This damn man is painting a big picture for my son again. I wonder if he has time to go."

Ella smiled and said, "I think his way of education is quite good. It trains the child's focus and gives the child a promise. Moreover, he will definitely do what he says.'

Valeria said, "Why do you trust Hackett so much? Do you really think he can do what he says?"

How long had she known Hackett? How long had Ella known Hackett?

Ella smiled awkwardly. "I just feel that he can do it. He personally brought this puzzle to Alex this afternoon. He's quite thoughtful."

Valeria was stunned. "He came?"

"That's right. After I brought Alex home, he came over and gave me this set of puzzles. Then, he accompanied Alex for a while and left. He seemed to be quite busy," Ella said truthfully.

She did not expect Hackett to come again...

Valeria did not say anything else. She looked at Alex's serious expression and smiled. Then, she returned to her room to change.

It was past eight in the evening.

Valeria changed into a black strapless dress, revealing her exquisite curves and revealing a hint of a woman's sexiness. She came to the banquet venue and attended such a banquet because she wanted to get to know those big shots in the business circle and make connections so that it would be easier for them to work together in the future.

Keith also arrived, but she didn't expect Keith and Sherri to come out together.

Keith also saw her figure and took the initiative to walk over to greet her. "Valeria."

Valeria held a glass of red wine in her hand and smiled. "Boss, you're late."

Sherri, who was standing at the side, said, "I'm sorry. I was a hindrance to Keith. I took a while to change my clothes."

Valeria smiled and didn't say anything. She didn't plan to have anything to do with Keith anyway. She didn't care how the two of them hooked up again.

However, Keith could not help but want to explain to her, "Sherri is a little depressed. I was worried about her being alone at home, so I brought her here to relax."
