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.
