Marriage Resumption (Valeria and Hackett)

Chapter 157

"With my understanding of Hackett, how could he give up so easily? Are you sure he's not cheating?"

Valeria was slightly stunned. Then, she frowned. "He has already made it very clear to me. He wants Alex to know that he is his father. That's all. His request is reasonable."

"It's that simple? A person like Hackett, who had been pampered since he was young and could do anything at his will, would make such a simple request?" Keith still could not believe it.

She walked behind the desk and said as she packed up the documents, "Perhaps he suddenly doesn't want me anymore. I'm not gentle and obedient, and I'm always angry at him for going against him. Why does he want to remarry me? To suffer?" Keith was speechless.

The two of them were silent for a long time. Valeria sat in her office chair, sorting out the information and preparing for the court session in the afternoon.

Keith stood there for a long time.

She couldn't help but look up. "Don't you have to work during working hours?"

"Valeria, what about us? What about us?" Keith asked, his eyes burning with determination.

In the end, they changed the topic to this.

Valeria held a pen in her hand and rubbed it back and forth as if she was thinking about something.

After a while, she slowly said, "Let's return to our friendship. If you can't get past your parents, I can't either. Besides, you can't get past your ex-girlfriend either. To be honest, marriage without love, I don't think it's interesting now. You clearly still have Sherri in your heart, but you want to marry me. Do you want me to watch you contact Sherri from time to time?"

Keith was speechless.

It was true that he no longer had any feelings for Sherri, but if Sherri needed his help, he believed that he would still help

her.

He did not expect Valeria to mind this...

"Do you mind? You don't mind, do you? I'm just friends with Sherri now, and she's a little depressed recently, so I'm just accompanying her out of concern as a friend..."

Before Keith could finish speaking, Valeria had lost her patience. "Then accompany her well. It's just that I increasingly feel that we're suitable to be friends."

"Valeria..."

Keith still wanted to say something, but she didn't want to hear it anymore. "Alright, Keith, it's office hours now. Go back to work. There are quite a lot of cases in the law office. Don't waste time." Seeing her cold and resolute attitude, Keith could only give up and leave the office.
