Marriage Resumption (Valeria and Hackett)

Chapter 34

Chapter 34

Keith remained silent, his gaze fixed on her.

She chuckled, a hint of bitterness in her laughter. "He believed terminated the pregnancy four years ago. He was unaware

of Alex's existence, and I intended to keep it that way. I feared hel take Alex from me if he knew."

Over the past four years, Keith had been her stalwart support, so she felt the need to let him know these truths.

Keith remained silent and continued to listen patiently

I'm sorry I didn't tell you anything after all of your help, and I even asked you to do me a favor and go to the old residence together last night, putting you in such an awkward position. I truly..." Valeria confessed, guilt washing over her at the memory of the uncomfortable dinner.

Keith finally broke his silence. "I can comprehend the difficulty you've faced. But are you resolved to keep Hackett oblivious to Alex's existence indefinitely? You should understand that secrets have a way of coming to light, and he'll find out sooner or later. That's why I plan to resign once I wrap up these pending cases at hand. My intention is to relocate to a foreign country with Alex so that the James family will never know Alex's existence."

She shared her thoughts with Keith, hoping for his support.

Unexpectedly, Keith said with a smile, "I've managed to let you work for me, and now you're planning to leave?"

"I apologize, but I have no choice..."

Valeria knew that the James family would find out about Alex's existence if she kept remaining in Alcomara. And then what was she supposed to do?

She believed the James family would be desperate to take Alex away from her.

Keith raised his coffee and took a sip. "Marry me. Let's make Alex my son and begin anew. Anyway, you can't evade this forever.

Startled, Valeria stared, almost doubting what she'd heard.

She didn't expect Keith to say it so bluntly, and he straightforwardly proposed marriage!

"You must be kidding."

Valeria awkwardly lifted her coffee to her lips, avoiding direct eye contact with Keith.

"I am completely serious. My mother is pressing for marriage, and I'm at that age for marriage. We've spent four years together, getting to know each other extensively. In many ways, we are the most compatible partners for marriage."

The atmosphere suddenly turned a bit peculiar, and Keith, wearing a serious expression, began to explain things to her Just as abruptly, a sense of disappointment filled her.
