Marriage Resumption (Valeria and Hackett)

Chapter 385

The little one looked at Clayton and said, "We're waiting for Daddy to chome. Mommy said that we can go

out and play together when Daddy returns."

As soon as he said that, everyone at the dining table becsuspicious.

"Why? What happened?" Clayton asked again..

Valeria closed her eyes helplessly. Alex was a talkative boy.

She could only respond with a smile. "It's fine. | was just too lazy to bring him out to play. | just made up an

excuse."

Clayton stopped talking and continued eating. Meanwhile, Kaden, who had been silent all this while, seemed to

have sensed something.

Could it be that Valeria was afraid of the man at the Mystic Lake Villa?

It was something that could be used against her. However, Valeria was not afraid at all. How could he use it to

his advantage?

After a while, Clayton said, "By the way, Valeria, the company's legal consultant's service is about to end. We

haven't found a suitable candidate yet. Why don't you take on the role? It's your area of strength." Upon hearing

that, Kaden's expression changed.

It was his wish to enter Maddox Group. However, Clayton tried everything to stop him. It turned out that he

wanted his daughter to be the replacement.

It turned out that even if he bectheir son-in-law and lived with them, he still could not gain Clayton's trust.

Valeria replied, "Dad, I'm afraid | can't. I'm the legal consultant at James Group now. I'm also working as a legal

consultant at two other companies. I'm under a lot of pressure."

"We're family. | feel more at ease leaving it to you. Just do it. Don't refuse." Clayton increasingly felt that Valeria

had the potential of an heir compared to Elsie. At least she was mature and sensible. It made her suitable to

manage a company. Valeria had no choice but to accept it.

She could also tell that Clayton wanted to arrange for her to enter the company step by step. It was obvious.

Elsie, who was sitting there, could not help but be envious. Valeria studied law and was doing quite well in the

legal profession.

Back then, Elsie had insisted on majoring in dance. Now, she did not know what she could do even if she wanted

to enter the

company.

There was no suitable position for her at all.

After dinner, Kaden gave Elsie a harsh scolding after entering their room.

"Look at yourself. What kind of major did you choose? It's useless to your father's company. Now, you can only

watch as -your sister enters the company. You and | have no part in it at all. Can't you tell now that your father

plans to groom your sister?"

Kaden gritted his teeth in anger. However, there was nothing he could do. He was frustrated.

"So what? That's our family's company. So what if my sister gets in? Why do you insist on joining our company?"

Elsie could not help but retort.

Kaden smiled. "You think I'm satisfied with what I've now? My goal isn't just to be the Maddox family's son-in-

law."

With that, he turned around and walked towards the cloakroom, preparing to change his clothes and go to

school.

After hearing the door close, Elsie fell onto the bed, her eyes filled with panic.

In other words, what Kaden wanted was their family business.

She had invited a wolf into her house.

Elsie sighed.

In the garden.

Valeria was with Alex. He was driving a toy excavator. The latter was serious about excavators. He told Valeria

that he would work as an excavator when he grew up. She was speechless.

At this moment, Kaden walked towards them. "So Alex likes to play with this. Boys are still quite playful."

Valeria ignored him and focused on her son.

Kaden took a step closer to her. "Recently, you haven't left the house. Is it because of that man from Mystic Lake

Villa?" Valeria continued to ignore him. She walked to the rattan chair and sat down. She picked up her cup of

coffee and took a sip. Seeing that she was ignoring him, Kaden sneered. "Looks like | was right. What's your

relationship with that man? What is so scary about him that you won't leave the house?"

"Oh Kaden, oh Kayden. You're getting into a méss soon, yet you still have the tto care about me." Valeria

was deliberately scaring him. Otherwise, he would not leave her alone. He was annoying like a fly.

As expected, a hint of panic appeared on Kaden's face. He narrowed his eyes. "What do you mean? What mess?"

"Do you think that you do everything perfectly? Do you think my father trusts you very much? Then why didn't

he let you enter his own company?" She didn't want to say anything else. She wanted Kayden to make wild

guesses.

Valeria slowly got up and walked over to Alex. She shouted, "Alex! Take a break and drink swater. The

weather is too hot. It's the summer heat."

"Ook!"

Alex had not had enough fun. However, he was sweating profusely and thirsty, so he obediently got out of the

excavator. Meanwhile, Kaden stood rooted to the ground and fell into deep thought.

Could it be that Clayton was starting to suspect him? That was impossible. He had not done anything to make

Clayton suspicious.

Valeria's words made Kaden fall into self-doubt.

He felt a sense of crisis.

Far away in Emmerick.

After a busy day, Hackett could finally have a good sleep.

Chapter 383

He returned to his villa in New Raleigh. After a simple shower, he lay on the bed.

He could have slept until dawn. However, he remembered Valeria called him during the day. A gentle smile

spread across his lips.

Suppressing his fatigue, he picked up

his phone and dialed Valeria's

number. After a while, the caltwas

On the other end of the phone, Valeria chuckled. "How was it? Did it go smoothly?"

"Yes, | can finally catch my breath, but I still have to be busy for a few more days. Does my son blme?"

"Why?"

"Because | would be unable to resist the urge to fly back and see you."

There was no immediate response.

Taking in her silent response, the man's laughter beceven more impudent. "Why? Are you afraid of what I'd

do when | see you?"

"No. What's there to be afraid of?" Valeria's face was red, but fortunately, Hackett could not see it.

Hackett laughed happily. "Is that so? Then | won't hold back when | cback."

"Be serious. You're already a father, yet you're behaving like that

"Fathers are still men. Can't a man be charmed by his own woman?"
