Marriage Resumption (Valeria and Hackett)

Chapter 393

Valeria gazed into the man's deep black eyes, her thoughts drifting.

"Am | genuinely that indifferent? Always keeping him at arm's length?" She wondered.

Taking advantage of her moment of calm, Hackett sought to break down her defenses. His handsface drew

closer, appearing as if he might kiss her.

Valeria obediently closed her eyes, anticipating his impending kiss.

The man's lips curled slightly, and he was confident he was about to succeed.

However, just at that moment, the bedroom door suddenly swung open, and the voice of their little one chimed

in, "Mommy! Daddy! What are you doing? Why don't you includein your fun? Hmph!" Their little bundle of

joy rushed into the room with a gust of cool air, and Valeria instinctively turned away from the man's face.

Hackett was nudged aside and closed his eyes helplessly, knowing this little rascal would disrupt the moment.

If he were not the father, he would have kicked him out.

The little one climbed onto the bed and snuggled into Valeria Sharp's arms. "Mommy, | want to sleep with you

guys too. You guys don't loveno matter what you play. That's not nice!"

The little one clambered onto the bed and into Valeria's embrace. "Sweetheart, your daddy and | weren't playing;

we were discussing something," Valeria replied, her face blushing. With a child around, these awkward moments

were inevitable.

Hackett wore an annoyed expression. He pinched his son's small cheek and ground his teeth, muttering, "You

couldn't have picked a worse tto show up."

"What are you doing?" Valeria asked as she slapped the man's hand away, seeing that he was going too far.

Hackett looked frustrated, got up, and said, "You two, get ssleep. I'm going out for a bit."

Sleep seemed out of reach for him anyway.

Valeria cradled her baby in her arms, watching the man's retreating figure, unable to help but chuckle.

"Mommy, why are you laughing?" Alex asked.

"Nothing. Does mommy want to tell you a story?" Valeria replied.

""Yes!" The little one cheered.

After Hackett closed the bedroom door, he intended to step outside for a smoke and then return to his room for a

shower and sleep.

With a cigarette between his lips, he strolled through the garden but inadvertently noticed Kaden driving away.

"Heading out so late?" he mused.

He recalled Valeria's words about Kaden possessing the video. If that video were destroyed, Kaden would

Hackett finished his cigarette, flicked it into an ashtray, and then turned back to the villa.

He walked to Kaden and Elsie's room, pushed the door open without knocking, and entered.

Upon entering the room, he found Elsie on her bed, her face fraught with fear. "Hackett?" she called out.

"Why are you still here? Kaden left without you?" Hackett inquired.

He had assumed the couple had gone out together, but Elsie was still in her room.

#]... | didn't want to accompany him. What brings you here?" Elsie replied, clearly reluctant to face Hackett.

Hackett inquired, "I heard that Kaden has a video of you. Do you know where he keeps it?"

Elsie was initially surprised, not expecting Hackett to know about this, and she stammered, "I... | saw it on his

phone, but he said he has many backups..." The man noticed a laptop nearby and inquired, "Is this Kaden's?"

"Yes," Elsie replied.

Hackett opened the laptop, his long, slender fingers tapping the keyboard a few times, his deep black eyes fixed

on something.

Elsie couldn't grasp what he was doing. After a few minutes, the man stood up, looked at her, and remarked,

"Just be patient for a few more days." After that, he exited the room.

Elsie was left speechless. She had no face left to shout at this man now. She had brought this upon herself.

After Hackett returned to his room, he turned on his computer and started hacking into Kaden's computer to

search for all the backups of that video.

It wasn't until midnight that he had checked all of Kaden's accounts and deleted all the videos he could find. He

couldn't be bothered to watch the videos one by one, especially not the kind featuring Kaden and Elsie, which

held no interest for him. On the other side...

After putting her baby to sleep, Valeria intended to go to the kitchen to get a glass of water. She passed by

Hackett's room and, driven by curiosity, entered.

Originally, she just wanted to see what the man was up to, but found that there was a sound of running water

coming from the bathroom; he was taking a shower.

Valeria intended to turn and leave, but then the running water stopped, and the bathroom door opened.

The man walked out of the bathroom, wearing only a towel around his waist, his short hair still dripping, and a

mist of steam on his handsface.

"Why are you here?" Hackett asked in surprise.

Hackett saw her, and a smile played on his handsface. There was nothing more surprising to him than this

scene.

"I was just passing by. Alex is asleep. | wanted to get swater... Valeria replied.

"Oh?" The man's tone was teasing, as if he didn't believe her explanation.

"You should go to sleep. I'm leaving. We need to get up early tomorrow," she said.

Valeria turned to leave after speaking, but unexpectedly, the man suddenly pulled her into his arms and then

gently pushed her onto the soft, inviting bed.

"What are you doing?" Valeria asked in surprise.

The man pressed her beneath him. His voice was lazy, "I was about to take a shower and go to bed, but you over

She saw that this man had gone mad and wanted to leave, but the man pulled her back.

"So what? This is my room, and your son is asleep. No one else will cin," Hackett replied.

"| can't believe you're..." Valeria replied.

"Valeria, you know I've missed you," Hackett said tenderly.

She indeed knew it. During their days in the Emmerick, he called her every day. He asked about the child only

three times; the rest of the time, he was teasing her.

In the end, she relented, allowing this man to have his way.
