Marriage Resumption (Valeria and Hackett)

Chapter 255

Keith smiled and shook his head. "It's alright. As long as I see your doing well. I'm at ease."

She smiled in response and didn't say anything more.

Keith continued, "By the way, did you know that Hackett's engagement banquet is coming up soon! He even sent me an invitation because I've had previous collaborations with Mr. Clayton."

"Is that so? I didn't know, Well, congratulations to him. I don't really care." She feigned to be indifferent.

Actually, Keith was doing this on purpose. He wanted to test Valeria's attitude toward Hackett to see if he still had a chance.

Just as Keith was about to speak, Valeria interrupted him, saying "Keith, I know what you mean, and I understand your feelings toward me. But it's not possible between us anymore. I told you earlier, don't waste your time on me. Sherri is more suitable for you. You two have a much longer history together. No matter what, you should choose her."

Valeria completely shut down any possibility for Keith to respond. She did not give Keith any chance to explain.

Keith looked at her silently. He wanted to say something but hesitated. He could only watch quietly.

He really didn't want to give up, but Valeria wasn't willing to give him any chance.

"I have other things to attend to. I'll leave now." Valeria smiled and nodded, then turned and left.

As she walked away, Keith couldn't help but ask, "You'd rather go on a blind date and marry a stranger you don't know than

choose me?".

Even though Valeria would not be with Hackett, she still didn't want to choose Keith. Keith didn't know where he fell short.

Valeria stopped in her tracks, turned back, and said, "Yes. I've already let it go. No matter what, we're not suitable for each other. There's no need to waste each other's time."

With that said, she left without looking back
