Marriage Resumption (Valeria and Hackett)

Valeria was not in the mood to talk to him and grunted softly as the sipped her ice water.

Barron was already getting a headache, and all he wanted to do was finish the meal quickly, go back to his room, and ger some sleepi

His original intention had been to bring Valeria and Hackett back together for remarriage, and now, Valeria was bringing another man along Was there absolutely no chance between Valens and Hackett

Barron, however, still didn't want to give up, but upon looking at Keith, he couldn't find anything wrong with Keith,

"Let's just enjoy the meal now."Hatron said absentmindedly.

Hackett kept staring at keith, seetningly regarding Keith as his love rival

How long have you known Valeria for. Mr. Cooper? Cheryl took the initiative to ask, trying to lighten the atmosphere.

Krich said. "Almost four years or so"

Fout veand

Hackett frowned slightly. It had only been four years since his divorce from Valeria, but she and Keith had already known each other for that long!

"So, does that mean you knew him even before we divorced? Valeria, are you sure you didn't cheat on me?" The jealousy in

stone was palpable. How had he not noticed anything abnormal about Valeria four years ago!

Valeria couldn't take it anymore. She looked at Hackett across the table and said angrily, "Hackett Don't talk nonsense! I met Keith abroad after 1 divorced you!"

Keith smiled without saying anything. He silently peeled a shrimp and placed it on Valeria's plate. His voice was gentle and aemonate as he said. "Try this shrimp before it gets cold." Such tenderness and consideration from Keith caused Hackett, who was sitting across the table, to sport.

In his opinion, this display was hypocritical and pretentious. Why did one need to put on a show in front of outsiders if he wanted to pumper a woman? "Thanks" Valeria smiled when she saw the peeled shrimp before her.

Barron observed this interaction and glanced at his grandson's arrogant demeanor, feeling even more frustrated

Dors Hackett know how to woo a woman? Why is my grandson's emotional intelligence so lacking!" Barron thought.

Barron couldn't help but want to help his grandson and took the initiative to speak. Have you ever been married before, Mr. CooperTMTM

No, I havent

"Well then, will your family accept Valena? Let me tell you, it's true that Valeria is a divorced woman, but I won't allow anyone to make her feel wronged" Upon hearing Keith's response.

Keith,

expression frore momentarily, and then she suddenly lowered her head, feeling a hint of an inferiority complex

however, remained very calm. He smiled and held Valeria's hand, speaking slowly. "Mr. Barron, please don't worry. My family is very open-minded and doesn't mind these things. They will bless us as long as we are happy together. Besides, Valeria is an amazing girl. I wouldn't want to miss out on someone as wonderful as her."

Upon hearing these words. Barron couldn't help but sight.

He would have chosen keith just for that attitude if he were a woman.

Barron suddenly lost his appetite and telt a bit tired. Slowly, he stood up, saying, "Tin getting old, and I can't stay up late. You all continue enjoying the meal. Til go back to my room and rest for a while, "Alright, Mr. Barron, rest well," Valeria replied.

Barron glanced back at her, his heart filled with reluctance. However, he could only sigh. "Enjoy your meal. I suppose you'll have no opportunity to come here and have dinner with me in the future" With those words, he turned around and left the dining room, supported by crutches. His back looked pale and desolate

Hackett leaned back in his chair, a layer of gloom covering his handsome features. He lifted his chin slightly and said coldly, "Are you certain your family will approve of your marriage to Valeria?" "Yes"

"What do you see in this woman? Besides her looks, what else does she have to offer? I don't see it." Hackett intentionally provoked Valeria, attempting to draw her attention to him. From the moment he entered the restaurant until now, Valeria hadn't given him more than a glance, keeping her focus on Keith

Keith's lips curved into a smile. That's why you got divorced."

Instantly, anger flared in Hackett. He retorted, his tone sharp. "What do you mean by that?"

means that you seem unable to recognize Valeria's qualities, Mr. James. But I can. I see all of her strengths, as well as her hard work and dedication.

Keith's words were soothing to hear, Valeria couldn't help but snule, which cut Hackett deeply

At that moment, jealousy surged within Hackett's mind, which made him fail to control his emotions.

Suddenly, he

Said in a

deep voice. "Even if Valeria had terminated a pregnancy for me before, would you still not care!

the atmosphere fell into a dead, eerily quiet silence.

Upon those words, the

A flicker of surprise registered on Keith's face.

"Terminated a a pregnancy?

"Then what about Alex Isn't he alive and well" Keith thought.

It appeared as if Hackett was unaware of Alex's existence.

Valeria sprang to her feet, her hand slamming onto the dining room table in anger. "Hackett! Isn't that interesting? Do you want the entire world to know I was carrying your child before?" Panic started to well up within her 14-23 Thu, Oct

Keith didn't know the truth. If he inadvertently exposed Alex's existence in front of Hackett, all her efforts to conceal it for so long would be in vain.

"Hacke - Паске

Why are you bringing this up?" Cheryl couldn't help tagging on Hackett's arm beside her.

Hackett stared directly at the furious Valeria and let out a sneer with an arrogant attitude. "Why are you so angry? Are you afraid to let him know about that Shouldn't he know these matters since he chose to be with you? I don't want to see you come running to me in tears if he discovers all this after marriage and if he grows to dislike you and abandons you." "Don't worry! I certainly won't come to you and meddle with your happiness!"

Fury surged through her veins, Hackett was an insufferable jerk. If not for the public setting, she would have lunged at him and torn him apart with her teeth

Keith stood up, gripping Valeria's arm. He turned his gaze toward Hackett. "Mr. James, you think too much. Since I've - decided to be with Valeria, I accept everything she brings" Hackett snorted and took a few sips of his ice water.

"It seems this dinner isn't quite enjoyable. Valeria and I will take our leave. Enjoy your evening

Keith retrieved his suit jacket and guided Valeria out of the restaurant.

Valeria left without casting a glance back. If she had stayed any longer, she might have acted on her impulse to attack Hackett, no matter the consequences. Then take care

Hackett watched Keith lead Valeria away, and his heart simmered with rage. In a fit of temper, he slammed his glass onto the floor, producing a sharp clang

"Ah! Cheryl let out a startled cry.

"Hackett, are you alright? You... Cheryl could easily discern Hackett's jealousy and envy.

Hackett rose abruptly, exiting the restaurant with his imposing stature radiating anger.Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

Cheryl hurriedly stood up and chased after him. "Aren't you going to finish your meal?"

"No! I'm full now!" He was genuinely infuriated, and Valeria ignited his anger.

He couldn't help but think of Valeria's earlier claims of having only him in her heart and loving only him. It now turned out that it was all a lie.

And now, she even paraded another man's affection with her before him! It was so disgusting!
