Marriage Resumption (Valeria and Hackett)

u

"Who is it? Come out!" Despite Heing terrified, she continued to yell.

But that voice continued.

Sweat appeared on Valeria's fair forehead. What should she do now?

Alex was still asleep i

in the room next to the cloakroom. She had to go and see what was going on.

She took a deep breath and mustered her courage. She hugged a vase and slowly walked towards the cloakroom.

She could still hear the woman's humming from the cloakroom It's getting closer and closer.

Valeria came to a halt two steps from the cloakroom. Her heart was on the verge of bursting out of her mouth. She gripped the vase hard, thinking that if there was anyone else, she would smash that person right away. She bravely took a sudden step forward and barged into the cloakroom. The woman's humming stopped abruptly. The cloakroom was empty.

She looked at the empty room and her breathing quickened.

Valeria was starting to wonder if she was hallucinating.

At this moment. Alex's voice came from the room next door. "Mommy, save me!"

Valeria's eyes instantly widened. She put down the vase, turned around, and rushed back to the room.

The moment she pushed open the door, she saw Alex hiding under the blanket. He was trembling as if he had seen something terrifying.

"What's wrong? My boy, what's wrong?"

Valeria walked to the bed, turned on the lamp, and hugged the baby in the blanket

The little boy hugged his mom tightly. "Mommy, the curtains ved just now. There's someone behind it! I'm scared!"

The curtains?

Valeria looked up at the curtains and comforted the baby in her arms. "Don't be afraid. It's nothing. You must be in a daze from sleeping. Why would the curtains move?" "It really moved. I saw it. It's so scary! Mominy, there's a ghost here. I'm scared!"

Alex looked ter

wits.

He hugged Valeria tightly and did not dare to look back at the curtains. He was almost scared out of his

"Calm down. Don't worry. Mommy will go and take a look. There's no such thing as a ghost You must have had a nightmare."

As Valeria spoke, she stood up and walked towards the curtains. To be honest, she was a little afraid too, especially when she heard the woman humming just now.

However, she had to set a good example for her boy. Otherwise, this little kid would be so scared that he wouldn't be able to sleep tonight.

Valeria walked to the curtains step by step. After holding her breath for a while, she suddenly lifted the curtain. There was nothing, only the dim moonlight shining in. 10:23 Wed, Nov

She heaved a sigh of rehef and turned to look at the baby on the bed. The little guy was sticking out his little butt and hiding his face in the pillow, not daring to stick his head out like an ostrich. "Alex, look, there's nothing behind the curtain. Maybe it's just a breeze. Understand?"

When Alex heard his mom's voice, he mustered his courage and looked up.

"Did Mommy lie to you? There's no such thing as a ghost. Is Mommy right?"

However, the little guy opened his big eyes wide and suddenly screamed, "Ah! There's a ghost! A ghost!"

He hid under the blanket again and wrapped himself tightly, not leaving a single gap for air.

Valeria was stunned. What was going on? She turned around and looked out of the window. There was nothing. Why was he so frightened?

She put down the curtains and returned to the bed. She pulled off the blanket on the baby. "Alex, you're going to suffocate yourself like this. There's nothing behind the curtain. What are you afraid of?" Alex crawled into her arms and cried pitifully, "Mommy, Mommy, I'm so scared. There's a ghost here. I don't want to stay in

this room..

Valeria felt a little helpless. She carried the baby out of the room, but she did not have the courage to return bedroom.

to her own

Hence, she carried the baby to the living room. They nestled on the sofa and turned on the television so case the fear in the house. Suddenly they felt like there were more friends accompanying them. its sound would

Alex listened to the lively cartoons on the television and fell asleep on her lap.

However, this could not go on. Were they going to sleep on the sofa the whole night?

Valeria suddenly remembered Hackett saying that he had to work overtime. The company was only a few minutes away by

But she didn't really want to bother him.

At this moment, in the car outside, Hackett held a tablet through which he could see Valeria's pale face in the surveillance. His heart ached but he was also angry.

He could not help but curse softly, "Idiot. Why don't you give me a call? Ex-husband is also a husband. Why don't you call him if you can?*

He had told Valeria that he would be working overtime tonight and would be here in a few minutes.

Tyler, who was sitting in the driver's seat, shook his head helplessly. He had no idea why Mr. James did it for fun by searing his wife and children.

What if something accident happened? He must regret it.

Suddenly, Hackett said sternly, "Who told you to touch the kid's room? The curtain moved and my son was scared to tears!"

When the man saw Alex crouching under the blanket in fear, his heart constricted subconsciously.

No matter how perverted he was, he had never thought of scaring a little kid. Besides, if a three-year-old child was frightened out of his mind, it would be too late for regrets Tyler felt wronged. "Mr. James, that room belongs to Ms. Sharp didn't expect Mr. Alex to sleep there.

"How dare you! Stop quibbling. Tyler, let me tell you, if anything happens to my son, you won't be able to bear the consequences!"

Hackett looked at the little kid who was crying in fear. His felt so painful that he frowned. He could not wait to go up and give them a sense of security.

But!Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

Valeria had yet to call him for help. So if he came knocking on the door, wasn't he admitting that he was playing a prank?

Tyler was about to cry in his heart. It was Mr. James who wanted to play a prank. Why was the culprit blaming him like an innocent?

Hackett looked at the screen. Valeria and Alex were nestled pathetically on the sofa in the living room. He said impatiently, "Idiot! Call me quickly! Hurry! What are you doing? Don't just sit there. Call me right now!"

He had been waiting for this moment, but Valeria would rather sleep on the sofa with the child than call him.

Hackett looked up at the lighted window upstairs,

He wanted to see how long this woman could bear.

But what if Valeria really endured the night and not a call came around?

The man fell into deep thought...

But at that moment, his phone suddenly vibrated!

Hackett's dark eyes lit up. He looked at the phone and saw that it was indeed Valeria's number.

A smile appeared on his lips, but he picked up his phone unhurriedly and did not pick up, pretending to be unaware of what happened just now.

Even Tyler was pushing him. "Mr. James, why aren't you answering the phone? Answer it quickly! It's Ms. Sharp!"

However, the man looked disdainful. "What's the hurry? Have you ever seen someone who works overtime answering the phone so punctually!"

Of course, he had to put on an authentic show. Otherwise, he would be exposed.

Tyler was speechless again. Mr. James, you were self-inflicting.
