Marriage Resumption (Valeria and Hackett)

Valeria smiled bitterly. She did not want to mention this matter was really hard to explain everything in a few words.

She also feared that Keith would laugh at her if she said it out loud.

"I have something to do. Let's talk some other day. I have to get going."

Valeria had been avoiding the man's gaze and did not want to say another word. She did not have the right to speak to Keith. She had reaped what she sowed.

Keith also saw something was wrong with her and reached out to stop her. "Do you really not want to see me? Although we can't be lovers anymore, weren't we good partners and friends in the past? Can't we even say a few words now?"

"I-I'm really a little busy. Let's talk some other time, okay?"

Looking at her embarrassed expression, Keith could no longer bear to make things difficult for her. He could only retract his arm and say, "Are you afraid of being seen by Hackett? He is the winner who has gotten you now. Why would he be afraid of someone like me, who you have already eliminated?"

Keith's words carried a hint of self-mockery. He felt ironic.

Valeria was stunned for a moment. She stopped avoiding Keith's eagerness to speak. She could run away this time but could not hide forever.

"Keith, it's not what you think. He's not that kind of person. How about this? Let's find a place to sit. It's not the same as standing by the roadside and chatting."

The man smiled. "Sure, just in time. I still owe you a dinner."

Dinner?

Valeria looked up at the sky and realized that it was Did time pass so quickly?

meal. I'll make it up to you today. Please allow me to treat you to

already dark. She had wandered on the streets for the entire afternoon.

At this moment, a car brushed past them, but they did not realize that the man in the car was Hackett.

At the same time...

Inside the car, Hackett looked out of the window with a gloomy expression. He happened to see this scene and could not help but frown as he stared fixedly at the handsome man and beautiful woman. Was this what Valeria meant by loving him? Why

was she holding hands on the street? Was this man Valeria's lover?

Immediately, Hackett was furious. This fickle woman was his wife, and they were even married!NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became!

Meanwhile, Valeria and Keith went to the club.

Keith brought Valeria to the club and chose a private room. The two of them ate dinner quietly.

After serving the dishes, the waiter left them alone in the private room. The atmosphere was a little awkward.

Valeria only cared about eating with her head lowered and did not want to communicate with the man. She did not even want to make eye contact.

"You don't seem to be having a good time recently. Can you tell me what happened?"

When Keith first saw Valeria today, he felt that Valeria looked like she had a lot on her mind. He had always wanted to ask but did not have the chance.

Valeria's hand that was holding the fork paused for a moment. She looked up and smiled. "No, I've been doing quite well recently."

"It's fine if you don't want to say it." Keith did not want to force her. He asked again, "By the way, how has Alex been recently? Can he adapt to Creyque's kindergarten? I passed the kindergarten a few times, but I don't think I saw Alex playing outside." Speaking of Alex, Valeria's expression became even uglier. She ate to avoid the topic.

Of course, Keith noticed her abnormality. He frowned and asked, "What's wrong? Did something happen to Alex?"

"No!" She looked at the man and explained guiltily, "No, Alex is fine. He's been staying at home recently. Everything is fine."

"Is that really the case?"

"Yes, that's right. That's it. Nothing happened. You're hungry, aren't you? Let's leave quickly after eating. I don't want to be here."

Valeria continued to eat. Actually, she had no appetite at all, but she forced herself to eat.

The man was puzzled. "Why don't you like to stay here?"

"I already said that I've been a little busy recently..."

Keith was silent, but he knew that Valeria had nothing to do because he had not heard that Valeria had been working recently. Many clients who wanted to work with Valeria had looked for him instead.

The man stared at her without saying a word. Valeria could not sit still anymore. She felt that she and Keith were really not 'suitable to be friends anymore. They were suitable to not interact with each other anymore. "I'm going to the bathroom."

Then, Valeria suddenly stood up and left the private room.

Keith was left alone in the private room. Looking at her plate full of food, he could tell that Valeria had no appetite at all and was still stuffing food into her mouth.

His intuition told him something had happened, but Valeria refused to tell him.

Valeria walked toward the washroom. She just wanted to avoid Keith's gaze. She did not know why she felt guilty when she looked into Keith's eyes.

It was as if she had done something wrong to Keith.

The next second, at the corner, Valeria froze on the her.

spot. Her eyes widened as she looked in shock at the man approaching

She thought, "Hackett?

"Why is he here? Is there a banquet?"

Hackett naturally saw her, too. He walked straight to her and said "How dare you say I cheated? What are you doing here with a man? Moreover, you are having dinner with him in the private room. What are you doing?"

The man's every word was filled with jealousy. Anyone could tell he was jealous, but he did not think so.

Valeria was furious. "Don't talk nonsense! I'm just here for a meal with a friend!"

"A meal? Do you need to eat in a private room? I'm afraid it's because he is your lover, and you are afraid others would see you with him." Hackett sneered. His laughter was filled with disdain.

"Hackett! Watch your words! What do you mean by lover?! If I had an affair, would I choose to eat here? Wouldn't it be better if I went straight to get a hotel room booked?"

As soon as Valeria finished speaking, Hackett's anger surged. He grabbed Valeria's chin and pressed her against the corridor wall. "You still want to book a hotel room! Have you fucking forgotten that you're still my wife? How dare you!" "You still know that I'm your wife. Then why are you with Yumi? Could it be that you like her?"

The two of them started another round of argument. Neither of them was willing to give in to the other. Both of them were filled with anger.

Valeria didn't want to quarrel, nor did she want to agitate this man's emotions, but she really couldn't take it anymore.

Hackett pinched her chin tightly and gritted his teeth. "How many times have I told you? She's the first person I saw when I woke up. No matter how much I hated her in the past, she didn't do anything wrong now. I don't have to kill her!" "Heh... I think you've just had some crooked thoughts. Anyway, you've lost your memory now and don't remember anything. You can do whatever you want. No one can stop you."

"Valeria! I'm warning you, don't be sarcastic here. I said that I would investigate everything. Everything will return to its original position when I find out the truth!" Hackett let go of Valeria's chin, but the anger in him did not subside.
