Marriage Resumption (Valeria and Hackett)

Chapter 344

After saying this, Hackett walked out of the dining room without even looking back, refusing to say goodbye to Naomi, as if he were avoiding her.

Naomi watched Hackett, who hadn't eaten much from the table, leave in such a hurry. Was she a monster? Was she so detestable?

At the Maddox family's residence.

This was Valeria's first night staying over at her biological parents house, and she couldn't sleep at all.

However, Alex had fallen asleep early. Clayton had played with Alex for a long time tonight, so Alex got tired quickly.

Valeria watched the sleeping Alex, tucked him in, and then slowed her steps as she left the bedroom.

Valeria found herself alone in the garden, wanting to take a stroll. Unexpectedly, she ran into Loretta, who was wearing a coat and standing under the moonlight.

"Mrs..." Valeria started to say but then felt it was inappropriate, so she finally said, "Mom, what are you doing here?"

Loretta turned around at the sound and smiled at Valeria. "Can't sleep either? I guess I'm too excited tonight, can't seem to fall asleep, so I came out for a walk."

"I guess I'm just not used to the environment here, so I can't sleep either," Valeria replied.

Loretta walked over and sat down on a wicker chair. "Why don't you join me? Let's chat."

Valeria sat down on the opposite wicker chair, feeling the breeze on her cheeks and the faint fragrance that permeated the garden. It was very comfortable. "Although your dad went to bed so early, he's also very excited today. He's been looking forward to this day for too long."

Valeria smiled without saying anything.

Loretta continued, "You've suffered so much in these years. I heard your dad say you've been bullied by that foster father of yours, always asking you for money, is that true?"

As she spoke, Loretta's eyes were filled with compassion.

Valeria's lips curled into a faint smile. "It's all in the past. But the one who suffered the most from being bullied was actually my mom. She went through a lot during these years. However, no matter where she went, she always took me with her, so I felt quite happy being by her side. Later, after marrying Hackett, he helped me out on many occasions, so I wasn't harassed by my foster father that year. I thought my foster father had changed, but it turned out Hackett was shielding me from trouble."

Valeria reminisced about that year of her secret marriage. Hackett didn't fulfill his duties as a husband, showing extreme indifference toward her.
