Marriage Resumption (Valeria and Hackett)

Chapter 222

Π

Ignoring the presence of the assistant brought by Hacken, Valeria said in an unfriendly tone, "What are you doing here? You're about to get engaged and get married at the end of the year. What are you doing here? Who are you trying to disgust? You humiliated me in the garage, and now you're pretending to be a good father. Aren't you disgusting?

Recalling the scene in the garage. Valeria had the urge to kill Hackett. If Alex didn't have a high fever now, she would really pounce on him and bite him hard.

Hackett remained silent and glanced at Clayton's assistant from the corner of his eye. He had to continue acting.

Otherwise, Clayton would definitely guess the truth if the assistant went back to report what he had done. The assistant was called Henry Sterling

Hackett said in a deep voice, "No matter what, I'm Alex's biological father. I'm just doing my duty. It has nothing to do with you."

Good

It had nothing to do with her!

She was the one who gave birth to the child. But now, he was telling her that it had nothing to do with her?

Valeria was so angry that she almost laughed. I gave birth to the child, and you're telling me that it has nothing to do with me? Hackett, as a respected young master of a rich family, you seemed to be used to being surrounded and followed by veryone. Is that so?"

At the side, Henry had been observing the situation between the two of them so that he could report back to Clayton.

Seeing that another argument was about to begin, Henry smiled and tried to smooth things over. "Ms. Sharp, no matter what, you were once a couple and had a child. There's no need to make things so awkward. Moreover, as Mr. James said, he's the child's biological father, so he should do his duty."

"Who are you? Who are you to interrupt? Can you please leave? This is a private matter between us. Why are you here to listen to our conversation? Who are you here to monitor?" Valeria exposed the truth unknowingly. Hackett could not help but frown.

Henry was also stunned for a moment before he smiled and said, "How is that possible? I'm here to help. If there's anything. feel free to instruct me."

"Alright, I need your help with something now. Please close the door from the outside. Thank you."

Valeria couldn't understand why Henry was so insensible. She was talking about something private with Hackett. This guy was an outsider. Yet he just refused to leave.

Why wasn't this insensible assistant fired?

Henry was dumbfounded. Was she chasing him away?

Hackett sneered. He agreed with Valeria's words. He wanted Henry to leave a long time ago, but since Henry was sent by Clayton, Hackett had to let Henry follow him.

T

Henry wanted to say something, but Valeria said angrily, "Get ouil"

Henry was shocked. He turned around and left the ward, closing the door behind him.

"Why is she so fierce? No wonder she became Mr. James' ex-wife Henry mattered after closing the door.

In the ward.

The corners of Hackett's lips curled into a smile. He was smiling because Henry had finally left. Henry stood behind him all day long like a monitor and reported everything related to him Clayton.. However, his faint smile made Valeria misunderstand. Valeria thought that he was mocking her.

"Who are you mocking? Do you think I'm ridiculous? That's rig I'm quite ridiculous. No ex-wives of any rich men have ever suffered so much like me. I got nothing from you when we divorced. And now, I am humiliated by you." The more Valeria thought about it, the more regretful she became. How did she fall in love with this scumbag in the first place? And she was quite deep in love with him.

It was really stupid to come back four years later and still have a trace of hope for this scumbag.

Seeing how agitated she was, Hackett said, "Valeria, do you hate me that much?".

"No, I don't hate you at all. I don't care. I hate myself. Why did I fall for you again and again? I deserve it," Valeria reminded herself word by word.

A hint of pity flashed across Hackett's dark eyes. He wanted to say something, but he looked outside the door and stopped. Although the door was closed, Henry was probably still eavesdropping outside. He chose to remain silent.

However, Valeria hated silence the most. She lost control of her emotions and shouted, "Say something! What do you mean by being silent? Do you think I'm being unreasonable?"

At this moment, Hackett's phone rang. It sounded so strange in this quiet ward.

Hackett glanced at the caller ID. It was Elsie.

He would not pick up the call at such a time. He hung up after taking a look.

On the hospital bed, Alex was injected with an IV drip. He was talking in his sleep aggrievedly. His face was burning red, making people pity him.

"Mommy... Will we be with Daddy forever in the future...

"Daddy... I have a daddy too... Daddy..."

Hackett and Valeria both heard Alex's words. They froze there.

Valeria's eyes were glistening with tears. She could not help but cover her mouth, not wanting to wake Alex up with her crying

As for Hackett, he clenched his fists and frowned. He stared at his son on the bed and felt his heart in pain.

It turned out that although Alex seemed to be resistant to Hackett on the surface, he was actually cheering secretly for being able to have a father.

Valeria really did not want to see this damn bastard man standing here, looking at Alex, and appearing to be a loving father anymore.

She grabbed Hackett's arm and pulled him out of the ward.

The moment the door was opened, Hackett found that Henry pressed his ear against the door. It was obvious that Henry was

cavesdropping.

Henry stood up awkwardly. Just as he was about to explain, Valera flared up at Hackett. "Please stay away from me and Alex. Since you've decided to get married, don't interfere in anything related to us. I won't be grateful to you. I might even feel a little disgusted." Hackett was about to speak, but he hesitated because his phone rang again.

On the other hand, Henry could clearly see that it was Elsic.

"Mr. James, it's a call from Ms. Clayton, Henry reminded Hacke

Hackett had an impatient look on his face. He had hung up because he did not want to answer the call, but since Henry had seen the call from Elsie, he had no choice but to answer it. Otherwise, Henry would report to Clayton about it.

With a dark face, Hackett answered the call and placed the phone by his ear. "What's wrong?"

He tried his best to control his anger.

On the other hand, Valeria felt that he was really gentle when answering Elsie's call.

Heh... Indeed, men fickled in affection. He forgot about her so soon.

Elsie's sobbing voice came through the phone. "Hackett, where are you? I need to see you now. I have something urgent to talk to you about. Where are you?"

Henry pretended that nothing had happened, but he was actually eavesdropping on the call

Hackett glanced at Henry and said in a deep voice, "Send me the address. Tll go see you right now." Such a simple sentence made Valeria's mentality collapse. SEND GIFT
