Marriage Resumption (Valeria and Hackett)

In the seaside villa.

Valeria sat on the couch, nearly falling asleep. She was extremely exhausted, having stayed awake the whole night.

Now that she was in a safe place, she allowed herself to relax her guard. However, a delicious aroma of soup noodles reached her nose.

Valeria slowly opened her eyes and found a bowl of spaghetti placed in front of her. Hackett sat nearby, seemingly without the intention of waking her up.

Valeria rubbed her eyes and asked, "Why didn't you wake me up"

Hackett replied, "I thought you were too tired, so I didn't wake you."

"But I'm really hungry. In a little while, the spaghetti will get mushy, and that won't taste good." Valeria sat up straight, and after taking a sniff, her stomach growled uncontrollably.

The man said, "It's okay. I can make you another bowl of noodles."

Valeria picked up her fork, hesitated for a moment, and then took a bite. The spaghetti were very light, probably to accommodate her injuries, but they were surprisingly delicious, perhaps because Valeria was so hungry.

Valeria spent a few minutes finishing the entire plate of spaghetti, even drinking two cups of water, clearly indicating how famished she was.

She picked up a tissue and wiped the corner of her mouth. Then, she said, "The two men who kidnapped me seem to have been at a place called Mysticide Manor. I think that place is quite dirty. Can you send someone to check? Those two should still be around." "Okay."

"And also, the one who called me out tonight was Kaden. However, on the way, he said he had to find something and turned back, leaving me alone to go to the banquet hall. I couldn't find the banquet hall and was drugged. I feel like Kaden is involved in this, but whether I return to the Maddox family or not has nothing to do with him. The mastermind behind all of this is probably Elsie."NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.

Valeria didn't believe for a moment that Elsie was innocent. Kaden had no reason to harm her, and all of his actions were to please Elsie.

Hackett narrowed his eyes slightly, remained silent for a while, and Valeria couldn't help but ask, "What are you thinking?"

Seeing that he did not speak for a long time, Valeria Sharp could not help but ask, "What are you thinking about?"

"I'm thinking if there's a possibility that this whole thing was orchestrated by Kaden alone, and Elsie had no involvement and was unaware of it." Hackett believed that Kaden wasn't as simple as he appeared. He couldn't have done all this just for the sake of love.

Kaden's willingness to go to such lengths indicated greater ambitions, more than just wanting to become a son-in-law of the Maddox family. However, Valeria didn't share this perspective. To her, Hackett was trying to defend Elsie.

Valeria's anger flared up, tinged with a hint of bitterness.

"Do you have such a good impression of Elsie? What's so surprising about her doing such a thing? It's Kaden who I find 09:02 Tue, Nov 26

strange. What harm does my return to the Maddox family do to him? I have nothing to do with him. Why would he do this?" Valeria couldn't make sense of it all, especially since Kaden was still relatively insignificant.

Misunderstood by her, Hackett felt a hen

upset. Let me explain. Kaden may not have any connection to you right now. But what if he marries Elsie? Then he becomes the son-in-law of the Maddox family.

no Ore you were found, the Maddox family had only one daughter, Elsie. Everything

, it's different. You're back, and Kaden's plans are falling apart. Do you understand?"

Listening to this explanation sent a shiver down Valeria's spine. Was it true?

She hadn't considered it that way. Could Kaden really be thinking so far ahead? Wasn't he deeply in love with Elsie?

"I heard that Kaden and Elsie almost eloped before. Doesn't that prove he's not after the Maddox family's wealth? Maybe he just wants to be with Elsie."

Hackett let out a sardonic laugh. "You're overestimating the ambitions of people like them. They grew up in poverty, and

now they have a chance to enter high society. They're just one step away from marrying Elsie and inheriting all of the now they have a chance to enter high society. They're just one Maddox family's riches. Do you think he'll willingly give that up"

"Wait! What? Are you suggesting that Kaden's displayed affection for Elsie is all fake? An act? It couldn't be, right? I don't believe it."

Hackett gave a meaningful smile. "Whether it's an act or not, I'll find out soon enough. But I have my doubts about this guy. He's not a good person."

Afterward, Hackett stood up and walked over to Valeria. "Let's go. It's time for you to sleep."

go back to your room and get some

Hackett bent down, causing, Valeria to instinctively shrink back as if he was about to make an advance.

He stopped in his trick, looked at her, and clarified, "If I don't carry you, how else will you get back? Don't forget about the injury on your foot."

Hearing it, Valeria lowered her head, realizing she might have been overthinking things. She allowed Hackett to carry her upstairs to her room to sleep.

The slow, heavy footsteps echoed in her heart, and for some reason, Valeria felt an unusual desire to be close to Hackett tonight.

Hackett gently placed her on the bed, tucked her in, and said, "Get some rest. We can talk about everything tomorrow."

As Hackett turned to leave, Valeria suddenly grabbed his hand and spoked with an extremely fragile voice, "Don't go. I'm scared... I want you to accompany me... Please..." Valeria was still overwhelmed by the fear of being suddenly drugged earlier tonight, and she couldn't shake the feeling that something might happen to her if she fell asleep. Hackett stopped in his tracks, looked down at Valeria on the bed and teased, "Are you inviting me to sleep with you?"

Hackett expected Valeria to immediately deny it, but to his surprise, she nodded, looking as obedient as a little rabbit hiding under the covers, with only her head poking out. "Valeria, are you sure? You might regret this." Hackett looked at the woman on the bed, a trace of surprise flickering through his mind.

"I won't. Just don't leave. I've been so frightened tonight, of course, I'm scared." Valeria held onto Hackett's hand tightly.
