Marriage Resumption (Valeria and Hackett)

After seeing that Valeria had left, The butler said thoughtfully, "Ms. Rogers, it's getting late. You should go back. Mr. James just instructed me to find a driver to send you."

"Why should I leave? Hackett asked her to get lost, but he didn't ask me to get lost. Besides, his emotions are so unstable now. How can I leave in peace?"

Yumi walked toward the elevator, wanting to go up and see how the man was doing.

The butler walked forwart and said, "Ms. Rogers, don't blame me for being nosy. Mr. James is in a bad mood now. Even if you go up, you probably won't be able to stay by his side and might even be scolded. Why don't you go home and talk about it tomorrow?" Yumi was stunned for a moment. That seemed to be the case, but she couldn't control herself. She just wanted to go up and take a look.Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

Moreover, she didn't want to leave this man for even a second. Just like last night, after she went back to shower and change her clothes, the two of them kissed.

If she left Hackett alone, Valeria might even have a chance to sleep with him.

Absolutely not! She would never leave Hackett again!

"Do I need a servant like you to care for my matters? Just do your own thing! Don't care about me!"

Yumi rolled her eyes at the butler and entered the elevator.

The butler watched as the elevator door slowly closed. He shook his head helplessly. "You won't listen. You'll know it when you get scolded." With a ding, the elevator door slowly opened.

Yumi walked out impatiently and walked toward the man's bedroom. When she reached the bedroom door, she realized it was tightly shut.

She knocked on the door. "Hackett, can you open the door? Eat something. You haven't eaten or drunk anything since you came back. Your body won't be able to take it if this continues. Moreover, your injuries haven't healed yet. How can you throw your anger..." Suddenly, the door was pulled open. Yumi was so frightened that she immediately shut her mouth.

"Hackett..."

Hackett looked extremely impatient. "Go back. I want to be alone for a while. We'll talk tomorrow."

Seeing that he was about to close the door again, Yumi stepped forward to stop him. "Hackett, listen to me. Things aren't as Valeria said. She has already lost her mind. She urgently needs someone to take the blame, so she slandered me endlessly. Our relationship wasn't that bad in the past. If Grandpa hadn't forced you to marry her with his life, we might..."

"Alright, stop talking. I understand. Go back. I'm tired."

Hackett closed the door. He didn't want to hear any more from her.

Yumi looked at the closed door helplessly and could only turn to leave.

After Valeria left the James Manor, she did not go anywhere else. Instead, she chose to stay in a hotel.

10.21 Mon, Dec 16

She looked at the time. It should be morning at Alex's place, so she called the baby to talk to him.

Now that she was in a low mood, only the baby could give her hope.

Ring... Ring...

After the call connected, Alex's energetic voice came from the phone. "Mommy! You finally called me!"

"I'm sorry. Mommy has been a little busy these past few days. Have you had breakfast?"

95%

"Yes, I'm going to kindergarten. Uncle said he would take me to the kindergarten I used to attend. Mommy, I can see my old friends now!"

This kid couldn't forget his friends when he returned to the country. He was worried that he wouldn't be able to see them again. Now, they could play together again. "Really? That's great."

"Okay, Mommy, I'm going to play with my friend. I'll call you after school. Bye."

"Okay, you can call Mommy anytime. Mommy will be waiting for you."

She thought the call would end just like that, but Simon's voice came on the line. "Do you think it's interesting for you to do this every day? How long do you plan to maintain this connection?"

Upon hearing Simon's voice, the smile on Valeria's face instantly disappeared without a trace.

"It's none of your business. But since you've promised me that you'll keep giving the phone to Alex, you can't go back on your word. He's still young and can't leave me. If you cut him off from me all of a sudden, his young heart will be hurt. At that time, no one will be able to salvage it."

"Are you threatening me?"

"I'm just telling you the truth." "Heh..."

Simon scoffed in anger and hung up mercilessly.

Listening to the cold and indifferent ending of the call, her heart could not help but ache. She had to bring Alex back as soon as possible. Otherwise, when Simon found out the truth, who knew what would happen?

But what should she do now...

That day, the doctor had clearly told her not to let Hackett be agitated again. Now, Hackett believed Yumi's words and treated her as an enemy. How could she make Hackett believe her?

Suddenly, her phone rang again. Valeria glanced at it. This number looked familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had seen it before. Valeria picked up the phone. "Who is this?"

"Me? How have you been?"

Upon hearing this voice, Valeria's hatred was rampant. It was that damned Tia!

Valeria was about to hang up. She didn't want to hear this crazy woman say anything at all, but Tia seemed to have guessed

her actions long ago and said, "Don't be in a hurry to hang up. Don't you want to know what I'll do next?"

"What do you want to do? What else can you do? You've already achieved your goal. What else do you want to do?"

"I'm in Creyque. I came to visit you guys. I heard that Hackett lost his memory."

"What are you doing? Hackett got into a car crash because of you and lost his memory. Do you still want to get close to him now? Let me tell you, don't even think about it!"

"But I'm already outside the manor. I think he's quite happy to see me now. After all, he doesn't know anything about his past."

Valeria hung up the phone, got up, and left the hotel room, planning to go to the manor to save Hackett.

Tia was simply too much. She had already teased everyone to this point but still refused to let them off.

Meanwhile, Hackett was still in the James Manor.

It was already late at night. Hackett kept smoking one cigarette after another. His mind was filled with Valeria and Yumi's words. Who should he trust?

Or could it be that no one could be trusted?

At this moment, there was a knock on the door from the bedroom. "Mr. James, Miss Tia wants to see you. She says she's an old friend of yours." Tia?

He had no impression of this name.

He replied directly, "I don't want to meet her.
