Marriage Resumption (Valeria and Hackett)

Chapter 144

Hackett did not pay any attention to her and simply followed behind Valeria.

Watching herself completely ignored by the man, Cheryl's heart sank to the bottom. Did she really have no chance left?

Mandy was still immersed in Valeria's words from earlier, scrutinizing Cheryl with a skeptical look.

"Why are you looking at me like that? Do you also doubt me?" Cheryl said as tears welled up in her eyes.

Mandy quickly denied it. "How could that be? I only believe in you, Cheryl. I believe you are the one who truly loves Hackett. As for that poor family, their words are not trustworthy

Cheryl stepped forward and hugged Mandy, her voice filled with grievance. "Mrs. James, I really love Hackett. I would never do anything to hurt him, absolutely not."

Valeria sat in the backseat and held the little boy while Hackett drove. No one spoke during the journey, as if they were afraid of waking up the boy.

But Valeria couldn't help but ask, "Last time in the office, when I said that the car accident was caused by Cheryl you were so resistant and did not believe me at all, even slapped me. Why are you so calm this time! Don't you want to refute me?" Did Hackett also believe her words now?

The man driving took a glance at her in the rearview mirror. "Although there's no direct evidence now, Cheryl is no longer trustworthy."

Valeria did not reply. And then, no one spoke again until they returned to Starry Bay.

After getting out of the car, the man, for once, opened the car door for Valeria like a gentleman and took the boy from her arms. For a moment, Valeria almost thought that she and Hackert hadn't divorced, that their marriage was happy, and they had an adorable son. Hackett carried the child to the bedroom upstairs, gently placed the little one on the bed, covered him with a blanket, and then left the children's room.

Downstairs, Valeria made a cup of coffee and placed it on the table. The man, with his long legs, took a few steps and sat down on the sofa. "When are you moving out? I've arranged a new place for you. As for the rent, you can pay whatever you want. I don't care." He did not rely on the rent to live, and he did not really want it either. But if he did not accept the rent. Valeria probably wouldn't be willing to move out.
