Marriage Resumption (Valeria and Hackett)

Chapter 2 K 63%

Valeria sat next to Hackett but didn't feel any of the usual happiness and sweetness. Just the thought of the woman he brought back during the day made her feel nauseous and disgusted. Hackett's words echoed in her ears. "She's pregnant. Let's get a divorce."

Valeria couldn't even take a single bite now

Suddenly, Barron spoke up. "Hackett, you've been married for a year. When are you going to have a wedding for Valeria? Don't keep her waiting."

Valeria remained silent.

Hackett, on the other hand, had a dismissive attitude and said in a low voice, "Let's wait a little longer."

Once the divorce proceedings were done, a wedding would not be needed.

Barron's smile instantly disappeared, and he coldly snorted. "Wait a little longer? That's your answer to everything! When will you give me a great-grandchild so I can be a great-grandfather?" Before Hackett could open his mouth to speak, Valeria looked up and smiled. "Mr. James, your great-grandchild will be here

soon.

Hackett's handsome face tensed up as he looked at the woman beside him, his cold eyes warning her as if saying that if she dared to speak nonsense, he wouldn't spare her. But Valeria turned a blind eye to it.

The woman Hackett had brought back earlier was pregnant, right? Barron would soon be able to hold his great-grandchild.

As for Valeria's baby... it will be removed through surgery tomorrow. How ironic.

"Really? Did you plan it? That's great! I'll find an expert tomorrow to give my great-grandchild a name." Barron laughed uncontrollably.

After dinner, she and Hackett left the old mansion together.

Outside the mansion, Hackett stopped her and said in a contemptuous tone, "Don't tell me you plan to use tricks to get yourself pregnant and then use Grandpa to save our marriage."

Valeria remained calm, her face serene. "No."

"Then what did you mean by saying those things to Grandpa?" He narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Your lover is pregnant Aren't you planning to tell Mr. James?"

Hackett thought Valeria had some tricks up her sleeve, but it turned out he was overthinking.

He let out a cold laugh. "Of course, I will tell Grandpa. Tomorrow, my lawyer will contact you about the divorce proceedings. Whatever compensation you want, I can give it to you, including the villa you're currently living in

"I won't take any of your things. Please arrange the proceedings tomorrow morning. I have things to attend to."

She appeared calm and composed on the surface, but her heart was bleeding.

After completing the divorce proceedings, she would have to go to the hospital to have the child removed.

tu.

How did her life end up like this?

I

Hackett looked indifferent. "Do whatever you want." With that, he turned and walked away.

The next day, in the early morning, the lawyer sent by Hackett arrived at the villa to handle the divorce proceedings. He presented a divorce agreement for Valeria to sign.

"Mrs. James, just sign here on this document. And these houses, cars, and bank cards are all compensation from Mr. James, He said you can handle them as you wish," the lawyer said truthfully.

Valeria didn't even glance at those things. She signed her name on the last page of the agreement.

"Please tell Hackett James that I don't want those things because find them dirty," Valeria said without looking up.

The lawyer was taken aback but nodded in response.

After seeing the lawyer off, Valeria packed her suitcase and took one last look at the villa she had lived in for a year. There were traces of her presence everywhere she looked, and she felt a slight reluctance to leave. She knew she would probably never have a chance to come back here again in her lifetime.

Standing in the living room, Valeria recalled the scene from yesterday when Hackett brought the woman home and felt a wave of nausea wash over her.

"Hackett James," she said in her heart, "this is the end for us in this lifetime. We will never see each other again

At the hospital, Valeria arrived at the scheduled time for her abortion procedure.

"Valeria Sharp, it's your turn. Come in. The nurse called Valeria name, which startled her.

Valeria stood up. She placed her hand on her flat abdomen, feeling like she was snuffing out a small life, overwhelmed by a deep sense of guilt.

Valeria lay on the cold operating table as the doctor maintained a cold and distant attitude. "Lie down, remove your pants. and spread your legs....

Valeria mechanically followed the doctor's orders. She wasn't sure if it was an illusion, but she suddenly felt a slight movement in her abdomen. But she was only seven weeks pregnant. How could there be fetal movement? It must be her imagination. Valeria closed her eyes, and memories of her past with Hackett involuntarily flooded her mind, accompanied by a dense

wave of resentment.

Suddenly, she heard a sweet voice calling out, "Mommy!"NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.

Valeria abruptly opened her eyes, looking at the glaring surgical light, and a thought emerged in her mind. She quickly sat up and rushed out of the operating room...

Four years later.

At the Alcomara Airport.

"Are you here yet? We're running out of time. We need to go and discuss this case. It's a big client, and we can make a fortune, the voice on the phone said urgently. Okay, I know. Come pick me up.

Wearing a pair of black sunglasses covering half of her face, Valeria pushed a luggage cart with a boy yawning

That was her son, Alex Sharp, who was now three years old and arting to look like a certain scumbag more and more.

"Mommy, I'm so sleepy

"Alex. Mommy has to go to a work meeting later. I don't have time to settle you down, so I have to

"Come on. Mommy. I'm already three years old. I can understand even if you speak in a normal way. Besides, when have I ever been naughty?"

Valeria fell silent. Sometimes, she felt like her son not only looked like that scumbag but also had a similar temperament to

his

Valeria! Over here!" Jepson Lever, who was responsible for picking them up, waved at them.

Valeria smiled and pushed the luggage cart toward him.

Jepson took the cart from her. 'Let's go and talk to the client first. They seem to be getting impatient."

"Alright."

Half an hour later, the car slowly stopped beneath a skyscraper.

"Alex, you mustn't run around everywhere, or Mommy will get angry and make you stand in the corner! Valeria reminded the energetic Alex once again.

"I know. I know. Mommy, you're so naggy, Alex replied.

Jepson, Valeria, and Alex walked into the lobby on the ground floor.

Four years had passed, and Valeria had no idea that the skyscraper in front of her was the new location of the James Group.. owned by Hackett.

In other words, at that very moment, Hackett was also inside the skyscraper.

Jepson approached the front desk, and the receptionist smiled and asked, "Hello, do you have an appointment?"

"Yes, Jepson Lever from Cooper Law Office," Jepson replied.

Valeria's eyes were immediately drawn to the stylishly designed words behind the reception desk-James Group!

Her face instantly changed, and her eyes were filled with surprise as she looked at Jepson next to her. "So, our client is the James Group?"

"Yes," Jepson replied, still unaware of the seriousness of the situation.

At that moment, Valeria had the impulse to turn around and leave.
