Inside the car.

Valeria sat in the passenger seat, gazing out the car window at the flickering night scene

The more she dwelled on what happened at dinner, the angrier he became

That despicable Hackett was alsolutely determined to lumiliate herself just now.

Keith, who was driving, couldn't help but notice her anger and said with a smile, "Still feel angry?"

Valeria came back to her senses and regained her composure: "What? No, I feel sorry for what just happened."

She had hoped that Keith would help her deal with the situation, but she hadn't anticipated that Hackett would appear and subject her to such humiliation in various ways.

I never thought that your ex-husband was him."

The revelation that Hackett was her ex-husband had caught Keith off guard. After all, Valeria and Hackett didn't look like people from the same world.

She let out a quiet chuckle, saying self-mockingly, "You also feel surprised how the prestigious James family could even consider someone like me and how Hackett agreed to marry me, right? You're right. After all, we're not from the same world at all." Keith responded, "Actually, no."

Confusion crossed her face as Valeria glanced at Keith beside her.

"Hackett is a well-known playboy in his circle. I'm just curious how you ended up marrying him. Is he the type you like?"

Keith had always assumed that Valeria was attracted to mature and stable men, so he was completely surprised that her ex-husband would be Hackett, who was arrogant and domineering

Valeria froze.

Like? Like?

She might have liked Hacken before.

She still remembered the first time she had met Hackett. A blush crept across her cheeks, and her heart raced when she first saw Hackett.

Hackett had been dressed in a suit then, looking very reluctant since his grandfather had compelled him to marry a stranger woman. But in the end, he still married her out of obligation to his grandfather

Sering Valeria's silence, Keith asked in a different way. "Did you two get married for love?" "No, he didn't love me. His grandfather forced him to marry me Valeria replied with a touch of bitterness, her gaze fixed on the passing scenery outside the car window. for love?
