Marriage Resumption (Valeria and Hackett)

Chapter 27

Chapter 27

The car gently halted outside Emerald Garden. Valeria unbuckled her seatbelt, getting ready to step out.

Do you really have a boyfriend?" Hackett suddenly asked.

Valeria paused, taken aback. "Huh?"

I mean, if you have a boyfriend, you could bring him over and end Barron's attempts at matchmaking. Otherwise, he'll keep setting you up on dates?

Valeria pushed open the car door, but then the thought of that infuriating tombstone crossed her mind. She could not help but turn back. "Is that tombstone set in place now? No room for negotiation?"

Valeria fell silent. She exited the car, closed the door, and turned toward the living quarters.

Inside the car. Hackett observed her retreating figure for quite some time.
