Marriage Resumption (Valeria and Hackett)

Chapter 29 In the Emerald Garden Valeria wearily made her way honly to find the nanny preparing dinner while the excited voice of Alex echoed from the bedroom It seemed he was on the phone with Keith again.

Valeria didn't understand why Alex called Keith every chance he got.) She tiptoed to the bedroom door, gently pushing it open to see Alex clutching his cell phone, erupting in joyful laughter.

She leaned in to catch their conversation.

"Keith, are you coming back the day after tomorrow? Seriously? You better not be lying to me! Why didn't Mommy even tell-about that "Well, your mommy probably wanted to surprise you." ""Wow! What takesout." surprise! Keith, will you takeout for a nice meal after your return the day after tomorrow? Mommy never "Sure, your mommy and I will treat you to a nice dinner. Witharound, you can eat whatever your heart desires Great! Keith is the best" Valeria listened for a long while. Keith certainly had a way with kids but wasn't even a father himself. "How does he gain such experience? Is it just natural talent?" Valeria thought.

She entered the bedroom, purposely clearing her throat.

Alex heard her coughing and leaped off the bed like a startled bunny. He quickly informed Keith on the phone, "Mommy' back! She doesn't likedisturbing your work, Keith. I'll talk to you the day after tomorrow. Goodbye!" He hastily ended the call and tossed the phone onto the solitary couch.

"Mommy, I only chatted with Keith for a few minutes. I promise I didn't disturb his work. I called during his break." Alex explained earnestly, his innocent big round eyes gazing at her.

Valeria exaggeratedly put on a long face and frowned. "Really? How did you know it was his break time?" I did the calculations. Considering the tdifference between here and Emmerick, Keith should be on his break now." Alex counted with his little fingers as if he had meticulously calculated it for a while.

Tak Alex was quite intelligent She walked over and gently stroked her son's little head, sighing You like Keith that much?" Alex thought his mother finally had feelings for Keith, and he suddenly looked up at her, his eyes shining. "Of course! Mommy, I've thought of that carefully, and Keith is perfect for you as a husband. He's an absolutely perfect, good guy." Valeria was speechless "An absolutely perfect, good guy? Chapter 29 ""Where on earth did this little brat learn those words?" she thought.

"Hurry up, take a bath, and go so bed. Look at what tit is now, and you're still playing around here!" She turned her son's tiny body around and pushed him into the bathroom door.

Undeterred, Alex looked back at her. "Mommy, think about it. For a good man like Keith, lots of women will snatch him up. It another woman takes him, it'll be all over! "Why does it matter? There are plenty of men in this world" "But t none of them are Keith! It's not the same!" Valena was speechless again.

Suddenly, she realized that Alex did seem to be growing up, starting to form his own opinions, and he was no longer as- gullible as he used to be when he was a child. Soon, the day arrived when Keith returned home.

After a busy day at work. Valeria went to pick Keith up at the airport in the evening, and then they would have dinner at the old residence of the James family.

She had to act quickly to let Barron give up pushing her on a blind date.

She waited at the exit for a while and finally caught sight of Keith Keith pushed his luggage cart and walked towards her, a gentle smile gracing his handsface. He was dressed in a grayish coat, standing straight, exuding an air of sophisticated nobility. He indeed appeared to be the perfect man. "Valeria, have you been waiting for a long time?" he spoke gently Valeria smiled and shook her head. I just got here too." "Why isn't Alex with you? I thought we agreed that the two of you would pickup together?" Feeling a little embarrassed, Valeria wasn't sure how to explain this.

Keith could also see her embarrassed look and couldn't help but inquire, "What's wrong? What's the matter?" "Could you doa favor tonight? It's really urgent. I can't find the right person, so...

"What kind of favor?" Keith's expression also turned serious as he thought Valeria might be in strouble. Valeria smiled awkwardly and touched her wristwatch, stammering. "Could you... Could you be my boyfriend just tonight? Helphandle a situation." Be her boyfriend? A flicker of surprise crossed Keith's face, and he chuckled softly. Sure, no problem." Valeria looked up, surprised. "You didn't even askwhy I wanted you to pretend to be my boyfriend tonight?" "Well, you must have your reasons. If you want to share them. I'm here to listen. If not, that's fine too.

Valeria felt so moved at this moment Keith was a genuinely kind and considerate man. He would surely be a perfect husband in the future, doting on his wife and children.

2/4 E Chapter 29 But then, a wave of inferiority complex washed over her. She felt somewhat that she didn't deserve such a good man. "Well, best not to overthink it, she thought.

"Thank you, Keith. I'll work much harder to repay you in the future" Meanwhile, Valeria strived to assist Keith with more cases while she was in Alcomara and achieved a bit to show her gratitude, Keith smile. "Great, I do need diligent employees like y They exchanged smiles.

you.

Afterward. Valeria drove to the James family's old residence, and at the stime, Barron, in the old residence, was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.

In the old residence.

Barron paced back and forth in the living room, pondering over the situation.

Did Valera really have a boyfriend? He still found it hard to believe. He wished Valeria wouldn't show up tonight, as there would still be hope for everything.

But if Valeria did arrive with a guy, how would he handle it? Then his idea of arranging Valeria and Hackett's remarriage would be utterly hopeless, At that very moment, the butler approached, saying, "Mr. Barron, Ms. Sharp has arrived, and she's actually brought a man along! And I found...

"What have you found: Speak up!" Barron's heart was as tense and uncomfortable as if a thousand-pound stone was pressing "I found that they seemed quite matched and intimate... the butler explained.

Barron slumped onto the sofa like a deflated balloon, his heart sinking.

"Mr. Barron, Im here." Valeria entered the living room with Keith, noticing Barron seated on the couch with a stern expression.

Barron glanced up, and his heart sank completely upon seeing Keith.

"Hi, Valeria Is this your boyfriend?" Barron slowly stood up and scrutinized the young man before him. The more he looked, the more it pained him. Keith's appearance and height weren't much inferior to his grandson's. It seemed quite plausible for Valeria to have feelings for this young man before him.

"Mr. Barron, hello, I'm Keith, from Cooper Law Office, working with Valeria, Keith introduced himself politely and with simplicity Valeria couldn't resist adding, "Mr. Barron, this is one of the founders of our law office, so he is my boss, actually Barron let out a dry chuckle a few times, feeling as though a heart attack was imminent. The more he observed them, the more he felt they were a perfect match.

"Well, then, let's proceed to the dining room. I've arranged dinner for you." Thank you. Mr. Barron Valeria took the initiative to link arm with Keith, and Keith looked down at her with a tender smile 37% Chapter 29 Barron's blood pressure was on the verge of skyrocketing at the sight.

In the dining room Valeria and Keith took their seats, with Barron positioned at the head of the table. The maids commenced serving the dishes one by one.

Just then the butler returned, saying, "Mr. Barron, Mr. Hackett, and Ms. Yeats have also arrived" Barron let out a sigh, his face reflecting despondency, What was the use of Hackett's arrival at this juncture? No matter what, Hackett had indeed pushed Valeria away to another man "Let them in."

Barron was in no mood to talk anymore. He was impatient for this meal to end so everyone could return home. Thinking he would see Keith later, he even felt more annoyed with a heavy heart Valeria's expression turned to a frown. "Hackett arrived here too? Why did he chere?" A sound of footsteps came.

Hackett and Cheryl entered the dining room. Immediately, Hackett saw Keith seated next to Valeria, and the atmosphere took on an awkward tone "Is this your boyfriend?" Hackett asked and looked at Keith next to Valeria, his eyes narrowing slightly as a sense of danger manated from them "Yes, he's my boyfriend, Keith Cooper.

Keith nodded calmly at Hackett. "Hello" Hackett sat across from Valeria, and Cheryl followed suit as the maid promptly set two additional place settings "What does Mr. Cooper do? Hackett inquired in a deep voice while his dark eyes remained fixed on Keith.

The eye-to-eye confrontation between Hackett and Keith resembled a silent contest.

Keith smiled faintly. "I work at Cooper Law Office as a lawyer." "Alright..." Hackett snorted, seemingly dismissive.

Valeria was displeased with Hackett's attitude and added "He's not just an employee. He's my boss and one of the founders of Cooper Law Office."

Cooper Law Office stood as one of the premier law offices in Alcomara. Keith had even earned numerous awards from the International Bar Association, making him much more accomplished than Hackett, who was just a playboy in Valeria's eyes. Hackett raised his eyebrows slightly and said indifferently, "So what?" SEND GIFT
