Marriage Resumption (Valeria and Hackett)

Chapter 164

After Hackett returned to the James Manor, he had originally planned to soak in a hot spring.

A satisfied smile lingered on his lips as he thought about Valeria reaction tonight. He pondered, "Valeria's reaction tonight was quite interesting. It undeniably signifies that she still harbors feelings for him."

However, the butler, Alfred, strolled towards him and inquired, Mr. James, your first love awaits you in the living room. Shall we proceed to meet her?"

Hackett halted in his tracks, a perplexed expression forming as he turned to Alfred and asked, "First love? Where on earth did I acquire a first love?"

Were it not for Finn fabricating a first love, Hackett would remain blissfully ignorant of such a concept, as he deemed it

unnecessary.

Alfred responded honestly, "There's a Ms. Yeats who claims to be your first love, and she has come to see you..."

Hearing Alfred's revelation, Hackett mused, "How did this first love suddenly surface? Ms. Yeats?"

Hackett could not recollect ever encountering a Ms. Yeats.

He fell into silence for a brief moment before heading in the direction of the living room.

Inside the living room, a woman in a soft pink dress patiently occupied the sofa, and she exuded an elegant and poised demeanor with flawless skin. She was engrossed in her phone but displayed hints of impatience.

As Hackett entered the living room and spotted the woman's back, he furrowed his brow and contemplated, "Who could this be?"

His memory failed him, leaving him to approach the unfamiliar woman and inquire, "May I ask who you are?"

Upon hearing approaching footsteps, the woman promptly rose and regarded the man before her with a timid expression, saying, "Mr. James, nice to meet you. I am Nancy. Mr. Finn Hawk requested my presence to assist you in a small performance." Hackett's countenance turned pallid in an instant. He averted his gaze and retrieved his phone to dial Finn's number.

He attempted multiple times without success, resorting to dialing Finn's alternate phone before it finally connected.

On the other end of the line, amidst background clamor indicating Finn's presence at a nightclub.

Once the line connected, Hackett roared, "What on earth is going on? Who is this Nancy White? Must I concoct a first love out of thin air?"

Finn's voice remained nonchalant as he replied, "Calm down a bit. You ought to work on your temper. Achieving your goal requires commitment. Acting demands a complete performance. Otherwise, Valeria will eventually discern the ruse." Hackett retorted angrily, "Leave me be!"

Just as Hackett intended to hang up, Finn interjected once more saying, "Let me inform you, Valeria is currently as anxious as a cat on a hot tin roof, yet powerless. Rest assured. In a couple of days, she will reach out to you herself." Hackett remained skeptical, inquiring, "Is it truly that miraculous?"
