205

At River Valley.

Valeria and Alex were eating at the dining table. Alex was enjoying his meal by taking huge bites one after another.

On the other hand, Valeria had lost her appetite. Her mind was filled with the accusations that Mandy and Ernest had against her.

Hackett walked to the sofa and sat down without saying a word as if he was simply just waiting for Alex to come out. Valeria also sat on the sofa with him. There was no sound at all if the air had
