Marriage Resumption (Valeria and Hackett)

Chapter 18Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

Seeing that Hackett appeared upset, Cheryl started to feel a bit uneasy.

"Well, I believe you! But, Hackett, didn't you feel uncomfortable last night? How did you get through it?" Cheryl asked cautiously, afraid of provoking his anger again.

It was not that she did not trust Hackett. It was that she did not trust Valeria.

She knew Valeria would not let go of such an excellent opportunity to reconnect.

Hackett's tone was chilly. "I took lots of cold showers."

Upon hearing this explanation, Cheryl felt somewhat relieved. From what she knew of Hackett if he had slept with Valeria last night, he would have admitted it rather than explained it Because Hackett was not a man who liked to explain.

Cheryl smiled and approached Hackett, suddenly looking shy as she said, "Hackett, is the medicine's effect over now? Are you feeling a bit better?"

Yeah"

Hackett sat in his swivel chair, preparing to deal with official matters, as there was an executive meeting later.

"Hackett, if you need anything, I-I can help you with that too. I'm your girlfriend, and 1... Cheryl's expression was bashful, and she could not even look Hackett in the eyes as she spoke. Hackett had never touched her, no matter what she tried.

She was still deceiving him with that night from four years ago at the party. If one day Hackett found out that the woman he had slept with that night was not her, she wondered if he would still be responsible for her. Cheryl could not even imagine the consequences if Hackett found out about this.

So, before Hackett learned about that night, she had to succeed in having her way with him, or she was likely to be abandoned.

Cheryl waited for his response, nervously clenching her fingers.

The tip of the Hackett's pen, signing documents, paused momentarily, and he said in a deep voice, "No need. I'm already fine."

The atmosphere in the office became highly awkward.

A trace of disappointment appeared on Cheryl's tiny face, mixed with a sense of shame. She had initiated such a proposition, and yet it had been rejected.

Wanting to ease the tension and change the subject, she said, "Are you busy this afternoon? Can you spend some time with me? I need you."

Valeria hurriedly rushed back to Emerald Garden, seeing the many having breakfast with Alex.

She breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed the nanny had stayed overnight,

"Ms. Sharp, why did you only come back now? I was nearly going to call the police. The baby kept crying for you. I didn't dare to leave last night. The nanny complained as soon as she saw Valeria. ti 6.

When Alex saw her, those adorable grape-like eyes instantly lit up, but he angrily turned away, not wanting to look at her.

She chuckled helplessly. "I'm sorry, I had some last-minute matters last night, so I didn't come back. Thank you for staying here to take care of the baby. Fll raise your salary this month"

"It's not about the money. It's about worrying for you. I'm glad you're back. Now that you're here, I'll head off. I have a lot to deal with at home too."

"Okay, thank you for last night. Take care."

After seeing the nanny off. Valeria returned to the dining table and looked at Alex, immersed in sipping soup. From the moment she entered until now, Alex had not glanced at her properly. It seemed he was angry. Valeria could not help but chuckle softly, watching her son's chubby, rosy face. "Alex, why won't you look at Mommy?"

"Hmph!"

Alex snorted again, ignoring her, and continued with his soup, not wanting to talk with her.

"Alex" Are you really ignoring me?" She asked tentatively.

Alex had quite the temper. He was definitely ignoring her.

"Sweetheart, don't ignore me, okay? Didn't you say you'd always forgive me?

Valeria understood why Alex was mad, but she could not help but smile at how cute he looked when he was all pouty and annoyed. His grumpy face was just too adorable for her to take liis anger seriously. She could not help but laugh, pinching Alex's chubby cheeks.

Impatiently, Alex shouted at her, "Hmph! I'm mad. I'm unhappy

"Well then, what do you need to do to feel better? How about I take you to the amusement park this afternoon?"

Alex instantly widened his grape-like eyes but still put on a reluctant expression. I don't really want to go, but if you insist on taking me, I guess I could go."

Suddenly, Valeria burst into laughter, realizing that Alex was quite the tricky little guy to deal with.

"Please come with me, will you? I really want to take you to the amusement park. Let's go together, okay? It will make me so happy if you're willing to come along!"

Alex suddenly perked up, a look of excitement on his tiny face. Let's go after we finish eating!"

"Great, then eat your breakfast nicely. I will go change my clothes

"Okay!

At the amusement park, Valeria spent a few hours going crazy under the sunny sky with Alex. She felt like her legs were about to give in, but Alex was as energetic as ever, wanting to try every single attraction. "Alex, I have to go to the restroom. Will you stay here like a good boy?"

"Yeah, Mommy, hurry up. I'm hungry. I want to eat."

"Got it" Valeria was on the brink of exhaustion. Playing with a little boy was truly a physically demanding task.

In the restroom at that moment, Cheryl was making a phone call

"Are those paparazzi you arranged all in position?"

"Don't worry. They've been in position for a while now. Once the photos are taken, they'll be uploaded online. We've also contacted magazines and media outlets." "Good."

After hanging up the phone, Cheryl's lips curved into a sly smile

She was determined to make sure everyone saw who Hackett's woman truly was in this public setting.

Unfortunately, at that moment, Valeria entered the restroom too

The moment Cheryl turned around, her smile vanished from her face. "Valeria?"

"You're here too?"

Valeria saw Cheryl and was taken aback for a moment. She had not expected a celebrity like Cheryl to roam the amusement park so openly

The thought of Valeria and Hackett spending the night together in the same room last night made Cheryl absolutely furious. She let out a cold snort and said, "Valeria, were you disappointed last night? Even when you were together all night, Hackett didn't touch you. It's truly embarrassing. Did you think teaming up with Mr. James would lead to remarriage? Hackett doesn't love you at all!"

Valeria regarded Cheryl with a look likened to staring at someone who lacked understanding

Initially, Valeria did not want to bring up the events of last night, but Cheryl was being confrontational, so she decided not to hold back.

"How do you know he didn't touch me?"

"Hackett told me himself! He didn't touch you at all! Cheryl said in a firm tone, fully trusting Hackett's words.

Valeria let out a scornful laugh. "You believe what he says? We were locked together all night! And considering the effect of the medicine, do you really think he could resist?"

"What do you mean? Hackett wouldn't lie to me! Stop trying to sow discord between us!"

Cheryl felt like her brain was about to explode. She could not stop thinking about last night's intimate scenes between Valeria and Hackett. The more she thought about it, the more she felt on the verge of a breakdown.
