Marriage Resumption (Valeria and Hackett)

Chapter 249 93%

Valeria sat on the sofa in the reception area, watching the father and son's bonding time. She felt so superfluous.

With her right hand supporting her chin, she leaned on the armrest of the sofa, observing the cheerful expression on Alex's face. Wherever Hackett went, the little boy followed him like a small shadow.

She sighed helplessly, leaned back on the sofa, and couldn't help but speak, "Why did you leave the hospital without permission? Can you tell me now? You know your injury requires observation for two days, and you could have received better care at the hospital" Hackett was feeding his son snacks with an indulgent look on his face. He replied slowly, There's too much work at the company, no time to stay at the hospital.

Alex pointed at the snacks in the man's hand. "Daddy, I want more."

"Sure, here you go." Hackett handed another snack to the little one.

Valeria frowned disapprovingly.

still, thank you for saving me ou concerned about your health? Forget it, I have no right to interfere with you. But

still, thank you for saving me this time. I won't bother you anymore and won't appear in your sight again."

She believed this was probably what Hackett wanted to see the most. After all, they had already made things clear in the parking lot.

Hackett paused, and his smile froze on his lips. He handed the snacks to his son. "Eat it yourself and drink the water when you get thirsty, okay?"

"Okay, Daddy! Are all these snacks mine?" Alex's eyes sparkled as he looked at the pile of snacks in front of him. These were all prepared by the secretary at the last minute, knowing the little guy liked to eat them.

The man nodded with a smile. "Yes, they're all yours. Take as many as you want." With that, he stood up and walked to the reception area, taking a seat opposite Valeria.

o me. You can appear wherever you want. Just make sure to protect

Valeria looked at the man opposite her, who seemed to have a pale complexion, probably not feeling well physically. It made sense since his back had been splashed with sulfuric acid. Even if it was a minor injury, it would still be painful.

"I understand. You don't need to say anything. Now, you are not in control of everything. After all, Clayton is not simple. You have to give him some face."

Valeria knew that Hackett might not necessarily like Elsie, but he wanted to marry her because of the influence of Clayton, which could help him secure his position as the head of the James family. People would strive for higher positions, and matching backgrounds were ideal in high society. As for her, it was like she had dreamt an unrealistic dream. It was truly incredible that she could marry Hackett, even if it was a secret marriage.

Hackett wanted to explain something, but he hesitated and decided it wasn't necessary.

Valeria glanced at her son who was still snacking and casually asked Hackett, "Why did you let your first love work as your secretary? Knowing your personality, you should have made proper arrangements for her future."

Wasn't that what happened with Cheryl before? Hackett felt indebted and made sure everything was taken care of. But now, his first love, Nancy, ending up as a secretary didn't seem quite right.

Hackett couldn't help but let out a scornful laugh. "She's not my first love. I've never openly acknowledged it."

Valeria frowned and continued. "You acknowledged it earlier. I asked, and you

didn't say anything

"I merely tacitly agreed-It wasn't an acknowledgment. Now, I'll openly deny it. She isn't my first love. Rumors are not

reliable.

Valeria was lost for words about him. But thinking about it, if Nancy were really his first love, the wouldn't be working as secretary here.

Valeria chuckled. "I thought so, You're so indifferent to your supposed first love. If your real first love appeared...

I don't have a first love."

Valeria sighed. She believed that he was lying through his teeth! With his looks, and family background, how could he not have had girls interested in him in his teenage years? But she couldn't be bothered to pursue further questions. Whatever he said.

Valeria glanced at the time. It seemed like it was time for his meeting. She picked up her bag. "It looks like it's time for your meeting. We'll go now. Oh, right, Alex insisted on buying you a fruit basket earlier. It's in the car. I'll leave it at the front desk for them to bring up." After saying that, she elegantly stood up and waved to her son. "Alex, it's time to go. Daddy has a meeting

Alex was in the middle of eating cake, his mouth smeared with cream, looking reluctant. "Mommy, this cake tastes so good Can we take it home?"

Valeria smiled gently. "Of course, if you like it, we can take it home. After all, Daddy bought it for you. No need to guess. It was obviously specially bought for the little one.

Hackett walked over to the intercom and pressed a button. "Come in and pack up the cake."

Then, May quickly entered and packed up the cake for them to take.

"Ms. Sharp, I'll see you both off May offered

"Alright." Valeria held her son's hand tightly, ready to leave. Just at that moment, there was a knock on the office door, and everyone instinctively looked in that direction. Hackett's deep voice said, "Come in."

After uttering those two words, he regretted it. If he had known who was outside, he wouldn't have allowed her in. It was Elsie pushing the door open and entering, still complaining with an annoyed look. "Hackett, when are you going to accompany me to try on wedding dresses? My father has reminded me several times... Before she could finish speaking, she saw the scene in front of her and froze in her tracks. Why was Hackett's ex-wife here? And that little brat?

The first thing Alex did when he saw Elsie was shout, "Daddy, I don't want to see this annoying lady. No, no!"

Annoying lady?

Valeria looked puzzled. "Alex, have you met this lady before?"

"Yeah, I saw her at the kindergarten."

Kindergarten!

Valeria's bottom line had been completely shattered. She could not believe that Elsie had actually gone to the kindergarten to bother her child.

"Elsie! What do you mean by this? Why did you go to the kindergarten to disturb my son? Is it necessary to involve a child in adult matters?" Valeria angrily scolded. 08:21 Mon, Nov 18

Elsie stood there, not knowing how to explain. She had indeed gone to the kindergarten, but she hadn't succeeded, and Hackett had shown up.

Hackett instantly felt

headache coming on. He said in a low voice, "You leave first. We'll talk later."

"Fine Elsie turned and left the office

Valera held her son's hand tightly, her anger reaching its peak.

Hackett wanted to explain. "Valeria

"No need to say anything. It's me and Alex who interrupted your fun. Let's go. We won't cause you any trouble in the future. Don't worry."

Now she realized that she had acted foolishly earlier. No wonder Hackett had offered to come to meet them personally. He didn't want them, the mother and son, to come to the company for a reason. SEND
