Marriage Resumption (Valeria and Hackett)

Chapter 374

5

In the early hours of the next day, everyone was having breakfast in the dining room. Alex had already been sent

to school by the driver.

Valeria had to go to the law office later to take a look at the renovation progress. She wanted to open for

business as soon as possible. The feeling of waiting at hfor work was uncomfortable. Besides, she could not

stay idle.

When she entered the dining room, Valeria saw Clayton and Loretta sitting there. She greeted them, "Dad, Mom,

good morning."

Clayton smiled when he saw her. "Did you sleep late last night? | heard that Hackett spent the night with you.

Why isn't he here?"

"Oh, he went to the office a long tago. He's quite busy today," Valeria said as she sat beside Loretta.

At this moment, Kaden and Elsie also entered the dining room. From a domestic violence man, he instantly

turned into a modest gentleman. "Dad, Mom, good morning. We're going to have our breakfast before we leave

for the airport. I'm taking this opportunity to bid farewell to the two of you."

"Sure, honeymoon is fun. Don't worry about family matters, Kaden. Take good care of my daughter." Loretta was

full of smiles.

Kaden smiled and nodded. He pulled out a chair for Elsie.

Valeria observed this man's hypocritical attitude and looked at her father, Clayton. She spoke in a casual tone.

"Dad, how's the investigation of Elsie's case? | heard that Lester Hale committed suicide in prison. It's very

strange."

Upon hearing this, Kaden's expression changed. His eyes were filled with hatred. He hated Valeria's mouth. She

was sharp-tongued and always targeted him.

"I'm investigating. | don't have any leads yet." Clayton frowned when Valeria mentioned this.

Elsie looked at Valeria with pleading eyes.

have to go on a honeymoon? What's

Of course, Valeria could understand what Elsie meant. Valeria looked at Elsie. "Do you the point? Besides, the

recent wedding has taken a toll on you two. Aren't you going to rest?"

"| also..." Elsie spoke a few words before she was cut off.

Before Elsie could finish, Kaden interrupted, "Valeria, honeymoon is a must for every woman. | don't want Elsie to

have any regret."

Valeria sneered. "Does Elsie not have a mouth? Does she need you to speak on her behalf every

time?"

As soon as Valeria said that, Kaden was stunned for a moment. Kaden could only smile awkwardly and look at

Elsie. His gaze posed as a warning for her not to speak nonsense.

"I... I..." Elsie stammered for a long time, not daring to tell the truth. She looked at Valeria. "I'd better go."

Clayton saw how rude Valeria was towards his new son-in-law. He could not help but remind her, "Valeria, Kaden

is our family from now on. Be nicer to him. | heard that you even fought with his mother last night."

"Dad, | didn't want to, but tell me. Can you tolerate Mrs. Hardin callinga bitch?"

Clayton looked surprised. "What? Did she really say that?"

Seeing Clayton's expression, Kaden panicked and swiftly explained, "Dad, I'm sorry. My mother comes from the

countryside. She hasn't received any cultural education since she was young, so she doesn't have any manners

when speaking. | apologize on her behalf. I'm really sorry."

Clayton looked disgusted. "Don't let your mother visit us in the future. The Maddox family can't get along with

such an uncultured person. | don't want to hear anyone call my daughter such terrible things again. If there's

another time, | won't go easy." With that, Clayton stood up and left the dining room.

Loretta smiled and tried to smooth things over. "Alright, it's fine as long as it doesn't happen again. Let's eat

breakfast. After that, you still have to catch a plane."

Kaden smiled and nodded, but he remembered this grudge.

Kaden had to teach Valeria a lesson. Otherwise, he believed she might be the death of him one day.

After breakfast, Valeria cto the law office. Seeing that the renovation was almost done, she could officially

open for business once she bought office supplies and recruited employees.

At this moment, she received a call from an unknown number.

Valeria glanced at the phone. It was from Emmerick. She did not intend to answer, so she hung up.

After returning to Creyque, her clients were all local. She basically had no contact with her friends and colleagues

overseas.

a while later. Valeria hesitated for a moment before picking up.

After the call ended, another call

"Who is this?"

"Am | speaking to Ms. Sharp?"

Valeria was stunned. "Yes, who are you?"

"Did you have a child at Keystonia Medical College in Emmerick three years ago?"

Valeria's delicate little face was full of confusion. "What is it?"

"Just say yes or no."

"So what if | did?"

"Then you are the one we are looking for."

Valeria was left in a state of shock for a brief moment. She could not understand what the other party was

saying. What did he mean by she was the one they were looking for? "What do you mean? What do

you

want?"

The other party said, "In five days, we will arrive at Creyque. At that time, we will meet and talk in detail. My

boss wants to see you." Boss?

"Who is your boss? Do | know them?"

When she was overseas, she had a lot of clients. But which client would care about where she had her baby?

What was the meaning of this? She was confused and could not guess what the other party

wanted.

dangerous.

Valeria was immersed in work until the afternoon. Hackett called again and said that he wanted to have dinner

with her.

She agreed readily, and the man drove to her office to pick her up.

Valeria sat in Hackett's car and looked at his handsface. He seemed to be in a good mood and looked smug.

"Why did you suddenly think of buyinga meal? What's the matter?"

"Can't | treat you to a meal for no reason? | feel like doing it, so here | am." Hackett smiled. Then, he stepped on

Valeria didn't think much of it. No wonder this man treated her to a meal. He was going on a business trip for a

week.

"Don't be careless. Protect yourself. Besides, you can't go back on your word." The man curled his lips.

Valeria was taken aback for a moment. Realizing that the man was talking about their remarriage, she picked up

the glass and took a sip of water. "A promise is a promise."
