Marriage Resumption (Valeria and Hackett)

It had been four years since Valeria had set foot in this old mansion, and there was an inexplicable sense of sadness in her heart. Valeria couldn't help but furrow her brows, recalling many memories.

Hackett led her to the garden, and from a distance, she saw the aged figure of Barron. Instantly, tears welled up in her eyes.

Upon hearing footsteps, Barron turned around and saw his infuriating grandson. He coldly snorted, "What are you back for? Get lost!"

Hackett, his tall figure blocking Valeria beside him, stepped to the side and said in a deep voice, "You don't want to see me Grandpa. But you always want to see her, right?"

Hearing this. Barron turned his head again, his face filled with shock. "Valeria? Is that you?""

Yes. Mr. James. It's me." Valeria's voice choked up.

Barron was instantly overjoyed, leaning on his cane as he walked toward her, but then he frowned. "Where have you been these four years? I couldn't find you anywhere! And why did you divorce Hackett? I can't understand. Didn't you promise that you wouldn't divorce him no matter what happened?"

Hackett, seeing his grandfather's excitement, was speechless. It seemed as if Valeria was the James family's granddaughter, and he was the one who was adopted.

"Mr. James, I'm sorry... I... I disappointed you," she apologized in a low voice. Initially, she had promised Barron that she wouldn't divorce Hackett, no matter what happened.

However, Hackett had made another woman pregnant. What could Valeria do if she didn't divorce him? There was no

choice!

"Valeria, tell me, did this scoundrel force you to divorce him? You're a well-behaved girl, and I know this scoundrel's true colors. Tell me the truth today!" Barron looked at her expectantly, refusing to believe that Valeria would go back on her word Hackett narrowed his eyes warningly at Valeria as if telling her to speak properly.

Valeria didn't even want to look at Hackett, but she knew that Barron was innocent. She didn't want Barron to worry about her anymore.

"Mr. James, we had a peaceful divorce. I don't love him anymore, and he doesn't love me either, so we divorced. No one forced anyone," she said with a smile, hoping that Barron could find peace.

Unexpectedly, Barron exploded with rage. "How is that even possible? Have you forgotten what you told me before? You said you would love Hackett forever, even if he didn't love you. How could you change your mind like this? I don't believe it! This scoundrel must have forced you to divorce him, and he must have told you to say these words to me, right?"

"Mr. James. That's not true."

was a lie.

"Valeria, why are you starting to deceive me now? You're not that kind of person at all. You clearly love Hackett to the core. How could you change your mind like this?" Barron couldn't accept Valeria's explanation. He knew i Hackett couldn't bear it anymore and impatiently spoke up. "Grandpa, why are you being so unreasonable? I said we had a peaceful divorce, and you didn't believe me. Now Valeria is telling you herself. Why are you still so stubborn?"

"You bastard! Don't think I don't know what you're thinking! I'm telling you, unless you kill me right here, that goddamn. actress Cheryl Yeats can never marry into the James family! I only recognize Valeria as the granddaughter-in-law of the James family!" ti Gu.

After saying that, Barron patted Valeria's hand and said, "Don't worry, Valeria. I've got your back. He won't dare to do anything to you. I will make you two remarry sooner or later.

Valeria remained silent.

Barron was indeed very stubborn.

Valeria didn't want to pretend anymore. It was better to tell the th

"Mr. James, Hackett and I can't remarry. He already has a child with that wornan, and the child must be almost three years. old now. Do you expect me to be a stepmother? I can't do it. Torry, Mr. James"C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.

She remembered that the woman Hackett had brought back claimed to be pregnant. Judging by the time, the child should be around the same age as Alex.

As soon as Barron heard the word "child, he widened his eyes in disbelief

Hackett's face instantly turned dark, his thin lips tightly pressed together.

"A child? What child? How come there's a child? Which actress give birth to that child?" Barron looked at Hackett in utter disbelief.

Hackett's face turned even twisted, and he explained, "No, there is no child!"

"You bastard! I'll ask you one last time. Did that Cheryl Yeats give birth to your child? How could continue the lineage of the James family?" Barron angrily pointed at Hackett with his cane, loudly questioning Hackett suppressed the anger in his heart and explained once again, "There is no child!"

"If you dare to let that goddamn actress get pregnant, I won't spare you... 11. 111.

Barron's words were cut off as he suddenly lost his balance and fell to the ground.

"Grandpa

Hackett's dark eyes were filled with shock as he quickly went over and supported his grandfather's body.

Valeria was also dumbfounded. Her mind went blank. "Mr. James..."

Half an hour later, outside the bedroom

The private doctor came out of the bedroom and looked at Hackett and Valeria standing outside. He said. "Mr. James had sudden rush of blood to the head, and his blood pressure spiked He took his medication, so he's fine now. Let him rest properly, and don't stress him out again."

Upon hearing this, Valeria breathed a sigh of relief.

Hackett pushed open the bedroom door and glanced inside. Bagon was asleep, so he closed the door.

Hackett turned to her and said. "I'll take you home."

Valeria didn't say anything and walked ahead. Now that she had galmed down, she suddenly remembered what Hackett's grandfather had said earlier...

So, Barron didn't know about the child at all? And Hackett had just denied the existence of the child. Why?

The name of the actress mentioned by Barron is... Cheryl Yeats Valeria murmured inwardly. "Who is she? Is she the woman Hackett brought home four years ago! An actress. Is she a lenule celebrity?" 1144 Wed, Oct 30 G

Valeria took out her phone and searched for the name Cheryl Yeats. Soon, Cheryl's information page appeared.

She widened her eyes in astonishment. Cheryl Yeats was not the woman Hackett brought home four years ago!

Suddenly. Valeria stopped in her tracks and slowly turned around to face the tall, handsome man behind her. "So, the woman you brought back four years ago wasn't pregnant at all,

There was no child at all. Everything was done for the sake of getting a divorce! "To make room for Cheryl?" Valeria asked inwardly.

Hackett's face remained cold. "Yes"

"Yes" Valeria repeated in her heart, totally dumbfounded. "Why are you so calm about it?"

So Hackett would rather fabricate a story that he had impregnated a woman than stay married to her? Just for his beloved Cheryl, the woman of his dreams?

And all this time. Valeria didn't even know who her rival in love was!

Was his love for Cheryl that strong? Strong enough to use such despicable means to force her into a divorce?

Valeria had almost aborted her precious son because of this!

Anger ignited within her in an instant, and Valeria slapped Hackett's face without hesitation..

As expected, Hackett easily intercepted her. He scolded, his voice stern, "Are you out of your mind?"

"Hackett James! You will never know about his existence!"

After saying that, Valeria left without looking back. She and her son would never forgive this man,

Hackett stood there in silence, staring at Valeria's angry figure walking away.

"His existence?" he asked inwardly, wondering who the "he" that Valeria mentioned was.
