Marriage Resumption (Valeria and Hackett)

Chapter 160

Finn saw him hesitating and said, "Sometimes, it's better to retreat to advance. Think about it yourself."

As the saying goes, "If you doubt someone's ability, don't use them."

Hackett made up his mind. "Alright, I'll leave everything to you. However, if things get messed up, or if I have no chance with my woman in the end, that will be the day you die."

Finn laughed heartily after hearing this. "Alright, don't worry. It's impossible. I can tell that that beautiful lawyer definitely still loves you. It's just that she's been hurt too deeply by you and doesn't dare to turn back easily. She's afraid that you'll disappoint her again.", The man had nothing to say.

That seemed to be the case. There were many times when he felt that Valeria wanted to give him a chance, but she hesitated. He was probably afraid of being disappointed again.

But what could he do to make Valeria trust him completely?

He could only hand it over to Finn. He did not want to give up his woman and child, let alone give up his happiness to others.

It was already around nine in the evening.

Valeria felt that it was time for her to go back. She put down her wine glass and prepared to leave first.

Coincidentally, Keith and Sherri were also preparing to leave. She smiled and planned to walk past them without being noticed.

Unexpectedly, Sherri said, "Are you leaving too? Let's go together. You look a little drunk."

"It's fine. I can take a taxi myself. Besides, I don't want to disturb your private time."

Valeria thought that she had made herself very clear. She hoped that Keith and Sherri would not force her to leave with them. Wouldn't the three of them feel awkward leaving together? Valeria looked around the banquet hall and did not see Hackett. She wondered, "Has he left?"

Perhaps he had. After all, he was so busy. He probably had other meetings.

The three of them walked to the elevator and Keith said, "Let's go together. I'm a little worried if you go back alone now."

Keith was indeed worried, especially since Valeria was dressed so sexily...

Seeing that he was so concerned about Valeria, Sherri felt very upset. She forced a smile and said, "Yes, let's leave together. It's not safe for a woman like you at night."

Actually, Sherri did not want their private time to be disturbed at all, especially by Valeria.

Of course, Valeria could tell that she did not want her around. She did not beat around the bush. Instead, she rejected them directly.

"No, thank you. And I really don't want to go with you guys. Do I make myself clear? I'm sorry, I don't want to, so don't push me any further."

Ding. The two elevator doors slowly opened. Valeria walked straight to the elevator beside them. It was obvious that she did not want to go with the two of them.

"Then I'll be leaving first. Goodbye." Valeria smiled and pressed the elevator button. The elevator door slowly closed.

Keith stood rooted to the ground for a few seconds. He wanted to say something but hesitated. The elevator door had already closed.

He could only enter the elevator in front of him with Sherri. His expression was a little gloomy.

Sherri saw that he did not look too happy and asked, "Are you okay? Are you angry because of what Valeria said?"

To be honest, Valeria's words were quite harsh. She said so bluntly that she did not want to go with them, and there seemed to be a hint of disdain in her tone. Keith forced a smile. "I'm fine."

Soon, Valeria arrived at River Valley.

When Valeria returned home, she found Alex and Ella were asleep, so she lay on the sofa and prepared to rest for a while.

However, she did not know that there was a car following her on the way back in the taxi.

That person followed her untilhe escorted her downstairs and watched her enter the building.

That was Hackett. In fact, Hackett did not leave early. Instead, he had been secretly observing her.

When he saw her walking with Keith, the man's heart almost leaped out of his throat. He almost couldn't help but pull her

away.

In the car, Hackett looked up and saw that the lights in the seventeenth-floor window were on. He was relieved. At least Valeria was home safely.

He took out his phone and wanted to call Valeria to see how she was doing.

However, he recalled what Finn had said. He had to be calm and indifferent...

In order to make his journey to woo his wife smooth, he held it in.

Hackett threw his phone on the passenger seat and was about to turn the car around and go home to sleep. He would stop thinking about anything if he fall asleep.

But at this moment, the phone on the passenger seat suddenly vibrated.

He glanced at it. Valeria's name was on the screen.

The man's eyes lit up. Valeria was calling him? What happened?

Hackett picked up the phone without thinking. "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell, or is Alex feeling unwell?"

He thought that something must have happened. Otherwise, Valeria would not have called.

Four years later, Valeria looked like she didn't need him to do anything. It made him feel an unprecedented sense of defeat.

On the other end of the line, Valeria was silent for a moment before saying, "It's okay. I called the wrong number. I'm hanging up. Good night. I won't disturb your sleep. I'm sorry."

With that, she hung up the phone, not giving him a chance to speak.

Hackett looked at the ended call. He could not understand what was going on.

He called Finn. When the call went through, he asked directly, "Valeria called me just now and said she dialed the wrong

number. What does this mean? Is she okay?"

On the other end of the phone, Finn laughed out loud. "You're really a straight man. It's obvious that she's thinking of you. She accidentally called you, but she doesn't know what to say. She can only hang up quickly. If you talk for another second, it might expose that she misses you."

Hackett frowned slightly as he thought, "Is that really what she think?"

Why didn't he feel that Valeria meant this at all?

Meanwhile, Valeria had just hung up the call.

Valeria sat on the sofa and looked at the phone screen that ended the call. Her heart was pounding.

She accidentally tapped on the contact list and was stunned for a moment when she tapped on Hackett's number. She did not expect to call him.

It was too awkward...

Valeria went to the bathroom and looked at herself in the mirror. Her face was flushed red...

She could not help but touch her cheek. It was indeed burning. Why was she so useless?

It was just like the first time she saw Hackett back then. She even blushed...

When the call went through just now, Hackett picked up very quickly and sounded very nervous, as if he was afraid that something would happen to her and the child.

Thinking of this, Valeria's lips curled into a smile.

Hackett still cared about her and the child that he was nervous.

Then, she shook her head hard and couldn't help but scold herself, "Valeria, what are you thinking? You don't want to remarry him. You chose to stay away. What are you doing now? Hurry up and sleep!"
