Marriage Resumption (Valeria and Hackett)

Why was this man like a child who always made other people worry?

However, when she thought of that slap, Valeria was furious. She retorted, "Call the police if he's missing. What's the use of calling me? He didn't come to me, and I wouldn't see him even he did." With that, she hung up directly.

Valeria stood up and glanced at Ella in the kitchen. "Ella, there's no need to cook. I'm not very hungry."

Tve already started making noodles. Eat some, at least. Otherwise, you'll be hungry again in the latter half of the night."

"Alright, then I'll go up and take a shower first."

Since she had already started making it, she could only eat some Otherwise, it would be a waste.

Valeria walked upstairs and prepared to take a quick shower and change her clothes.

After entering the bedroom, she was about to pick up the remote control and close the curtains when she accidentally saw a black car parked under the tree outside. She walked over to have a look, but because it was too dark to see clearly, she thought she had seen it wrongly.

on, the sound of running water came from inside.

After closing the curtains, she went to the bathroom for a shower. Soon,

At the same time.....

Outside the villa, a black luxury car was lurking in a dark corner

The man in the car was smoking one cigarette after another. His gaze was fixed on the window of Valeria's bedroom upstairs until he saw the curtains drawn.

•

He had been sitting here for two hours. Even he didn't know what he was doing.

After running out of the hospital, he drove straight to Starry Bay and waited for Valeria's car to return.

Now that she was finally back, he was not happy at all.

Was she back from her blind date?

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. His lungs were about to explode in anger.

The

e most ridiculous thing was that he didn't even have the right to be angry now.

Hackett called Valeria from an unknown number. This time, no one answered after a long time. He couldn't help but look up at the window on the second floor. The light was still on, which proved that she wasn't asleep. Why didn't she answer the call? Finally, the call was answered. There was the sound of running water. It was like she was in the bathroom.

"Hello? Who is that?" Valeria's voice came from the phone.

Hackett did not dare to speak because he knew that if he did, she might hang up.

"Say something, or I'm hanging up."

"It's me. Don't hàng up."

Valeria was silent for a long me. Then she finally sold. "What's the point of doing this? Why are you running around when you should recuperate in the hospital? Tyler even called me. Can you stop making everyone worry about you? Do you think the entire world has to revolve around you?

He had not heard Valeria's voice for many days, let alone heard her say so many words. Even if they were all scolding him, it was still a little precious.

"It's too stuffy in the hospital. I came out to get some fresh air.

"You can do whatever you want. It's none of my business. We won't have anything to do with each other anymore."

Hackett sneered. "You've only agreed to my pursuit for a few days, and now you want to have nothing to do with me? So you're starting to go on blind dates? Do you want to find a man in marry quickly so I can stop thinking about you?"

On the other end of the phone, Valeria was stunned. "You're quite well-informed. You even know that I went on a blind date. That's right. I went on a blind date. I only realized that there are so many good men in this world after going on a blind date. I must have been blind to have a crush on you back then.

"You!"

Hackett was so angry that his internal organs were affected. He started to cough violently. This woman was way too infuriating.Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

"What do you want to say? That slap from you last time was enough to wake me up completely. I shouldn't have had any expectations of you, let alone agreed to your pursuit. You won't change. You'll always be that arrogant Hackett. We're not from the same world" Not from the same world?

Hackett was so angry that he almost burst out laughing. "It was my fault last time. I shouldn't have slapped you, but you're not from the same world as me? Why? Are you an alien?"

"You can say whatever you want. Anyway, let's not have any contact in the future. You can go your own way, and I'll go mine. We'll mind our own business. Also, go back to the hospital and recuperate. Otherwise, I won't shed a tear even if you're angered to death..." With that, Valeria hung up the phone. She didn't want to talk nonsense with him anymore.

Looking at the phone that had been hung up, Hackett was so angry that he started coughing again. And his expression turned gloomy.

⚫ called Valeria again, but this time, I

"Ahem... Ahem..."

phone was turned off.

Hackett was so agitated that he started coughing non-stop. When he wiped it with a tissue, he found he had vomited blood again.

No, he had to go back to the hospital to recuperate,

Otherwise, if he were angered to death, it would benefit Valeria, wouldn't it? He would have to watch her marry another man and live a happy life.

Hackett found it difficult to breathe. He forced himself to start the car and left Starry Bay.

He drove toward the hospital.

Valeria walked out of the bathroom. She was planning to let the natural wind dry her hair on the terrace when she saw a slowly leaving.

Huh?

She didn't even see this car just now. Where did it come from?

At this moment, Ella came upstairs and called her, "Valeria, the noodles are ready, You can eat them now!"

"Coming!"

Valeria responded, then turned around and went back in confusion.

The car looked familiar as if she had seen it somewhere before, but she couldn't remember where.

On the other side, Hackett did not know how long he had been driving. When he finally arrived at the hospital, he was covered in cold sweat and exhausted.

When he returned to the ward, he collapsed on the bed.

Everyone thought that he had gone missing and was still looking for him outside.

At this moment, when the nurse on duty passed by the ward, she found Hackett lying on the hospital bed. She immediately ran to tell the doctor on duty and called his family.

Not long after, Tyler and Barron arrived at the ward. They were relieved when they saw Hackett on the bed, deep asleep.

No matter how long he had been missing. it was a good thing that he had returned himself. They were afraid they could not find him no matter what, just like the previous car accident. "Alright, Tyler, you need to guard outside the ward, and don't let him leave the ward," Barron said.

'Got iL'

Tyler quietly left the ward.

Barron looked at the man on the bed and sighed. "I know that you feel bitter and have too much responsibility on your shoulders, but you have no choice but to bear it...

Sometimes, he felt his grandson was pitiful, especially after his father died. All the burden was on Hackett alone. That was why he tried hard to keep Valeria by Hackett's side.
