Marriage Resumption (Valeria and Hackett)

Chapter 18

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. 11:47 Wed, Oct 30 ti 6.
