SWNOVELS Chapter Resumption 253
Chapter 253
Anemia?
Valeria propped up her dazed head. She was a bit anemic, but she had been feeling pretty good lately. Why did she suddenly fainte
She asked, "So I fainted in the hospital?"
She sure knew how to pick a place. She fainted here so that she could receive immediate treatment in no time.
"Yeah, go back and rest. Don't overexert yourself, Hackett said in a deep voice.
Valeria shook her head to clear her thoughts. "Alright, I'm fine now. Let's go, I have something to do tonight."
"What do you have to do?"
This has nothing to do with you. Hurry up and leave."
Valeria put on her shoes, grabbed her bag, and was ready to leave the ward.
However, Hackett spoke in a low voice, "Never mind. You should leave first. Tyler will be here soon. He's done with his business
After hearing that, Valeria was speechless. Was this scumbag playing with her on purpose!
Valeria sneered. "Is it amusing? Is it fun? Are you messing with me on purpose?"
She really wanted to pry open this man's head and see what he thought about every day. Was he just thinking about how to torture people? Valeria gave Hackett a cold glance and left the ward. This time, Hackett didn't stop her and let her go.
After she left, Tyler walked into the ward and glanced at Valeria's angry figure in the corridor..
"Mr. James, I actually think it's not a bad idea to tell Ms. Sharp about this matter. Maybe she's looking forward to the DNA lest results." Hackett said, "We still don't know the result yet, so it's better not to tell her. Not everyone can handle such ups and downs."
Tyler didn't say anything more and nodded.
Hackett's phone vibrated again. Elsie had been calling him frequently these days, and he was getting annoyed.
But this time, it wasn't Elsie calling. It was Clayton, that old fox.
Hackett hesitated for two seconds, then answered the phone, "Mr. Maddox, what's up?"
"It's almost the end of the month. When are you going to try on your suit with Elsie? Why didn't you go last night?" Clayton
in himself. looked at his daughter, who hadn't tried on her dress several times, so he had to step
Hackett said, "I'll go now. It was too late last night, and I didn't want Elsie to get too tired, so I took her home. I have some time now. Is Elsie at home? I'll go pick her up."
"She's at home. Hurry up. We're running out of time. There's still a lot to do later"
"Alright, Mr. Maddox."

Chapter 253
After hanging up the phone, Hackett looked at Tyler, "Go reminal De Wilco to expedite the role
"Okay"
In the evening, Hackett and Elsie arrived at the designer's office
The dresses had been designed long ago, last the two of them didn't come for a fitting
Under the care of the staff, Elsie put on the silver white fishtail dress. After zipping up the back, her long hair cascaded behind her.
Walking up to the mirror, Elsie was stunned by her own reflection
The designer that her father had chosen really had a knack. The dress suited her very well. It covered up her figure's shortcomings and accentuated her assets, showcasing a seductive Teminine charm. Elsie suddenly felt she had grown up because her usual style was more of a youthful and girlish look
"Ms. Maddox, you look absolutely stunning in this dress. It complements your aura perfectly
While the staff was praising her, Elsie stood still and was lost in thought. If only she could wear this dress for her engagement, but....
Meanwhile, on the other side, Hackett emerged from behind the curtain in a perfectly tailored suit. It left all the employees, including the designer, astounded. He lawlessly embodied the designer's creation. Wow... Your fiance looks so handsome in this outfit. This is the first time I've seen such a dashing man..."
Elsie finally noticed Hackett standing behind her in the mirror, and she was genuinely taken aback for a few seconds.
She turned slowly, and the sight of Hackett in a black suit met her eyes. He was focused on fastening his cufflinks. He wore an indifferent expression that seemed to convey his disdain for trying on the suit.
Elvie couldn't help but swallow nervously. To be honest, Hackett would probably look good in any suit, but the design and cut of this suit were perfect. It was tailored to fit his physique. Hackett flawlessly exemplified what it meant to be a wealthy and distinguished gentleman.
Every move he made exuded the air of a nobleman..
"Mr. James, how do you feel? Is the size suitable, or do you need any adjustments?" the designer asked proactively.
Hackett glanced up and replied nonchalantly, "No need, it's fine.
Anyway, he didn't need this outfit. If the DNA test results didn't match, he wouldn't even have the chance to wear this suit by the end of the month.
The designer turned to Elsie. "What about you, Ms. Maddox? Do you feel the need for any adjustments? Are you satisfied with this dress?"
At this moment, Elsie was still staring at Hackett. She was completely immersed in his appearance.
Hearing the designer's voice, she came back to her senses. "Uh, an? No, it's quite good. I don't need any adjustments either."
The designer spoke politely, "That's great to hear. I'm also very grateful for how perfectly both of you have embodied my design. They suit you both very well. You two also complement each other. I believe that on the day of the engagement banquet, you will surely be the center of attention and stun all the guests."
Elsie suddenly found herself daydreaming about the day of the engagement.

Chapter 253
If she really did get engaged to Hackett, then on that day, she would be wearing this fishtail dress, and Hackett would be in this suit. The two of them standing together should be quite a sight.
As she thought about it, a sweet smile crept onto her lips.
At this moment, she completely forgot about Kaden, who was still living in the abandoned factory.
"Alright, let's change out of these. Hurry up, I have a dinner engagement later."
With that, Hackett turned around and headed back to the fitting room to change out of his clothes.
Elsie stood in place and wanted to call Hackett back. She wanted to ask him to wait a bit longer before changing because he did look quite handsome.
Watching Hackett in this suit, she could vividly imagine a series of beautiful scenes in her mind. Unfortunately, the woman Hackett loved was his ex-wife, who had even borne a child. Elsie furrowed her brow, shaking her head vigorously.
Goodness, what was she even thinking? Was she actually considering getting engaged to Hackett?
Was she out of her mind? She had Kaden!
Kaden was so good to her. How could she forget him? Did this count as emotional infidelity?
In an instant, Elsie was condemned by her morality and quickly retracted her wandering thoughts. She went back to change out of the dress she was wearing,
After leaving the studio, Elsie got into Hackett's car and put on her seatbelt. She could not help but ask, "It's almost time for the engagement banquet. Can you fulfill your promise!"
"Of course, you don't have to worry about me going back on my word. You only have to worry about whether your Kaden can hold on." Hackett started the car and slowly drove away. Elsie looked disappointed when she heard that.
