Marriage Resumption (Valeria and Hackett)

Chapter 350

On the other end of the phone, there was silence for a long while Valeria almost thought the call hadn't gone through until she glanced at her phone screen, which showed that the call was till in progress. She put the phone back to her ear and said. "Speak up, or I'm hanging up"

A husky, low voice of a man came from the other end, sounding somewhat intoxicated. He said, "Why aren't you asleep yet?"

Huh, Valeria couldn't help but chuckle.

"This man is interesting, she thought.

Turning around, Valeria leaned against the railing and replied, "How can I answer your call if I'm already asleep? So, you're suffering from insomnia?"

Yes, I can't sleep, because of you," he grumbled.

Because of her?

Valeria suddenly realized it was probably because of what she had said during the day. When did Hackett become so touchy? Was it really necessary? Just a few words from her, and he couldn't sleep.

Valeria laughed lightly and said, "Come on. You can't be serious. You've become this sensitive now? I just said a few words. and you can't even sleep?"

There was a long silence from the other end of the phone, and Valeria could almost imagine how dark Hackett's expression must be at this moment.

After a while, Hackett finally spoke, "Your words have more power than anyone else's."

Was Hackett praising her or scolding her?

Valeria chuckled, "So, why did you call me in the middle of the night?"

"I want to kill you in bed."

Valeria's face turned instantly red as she remembered the wild night they had together. She couldn't help but scold him, "Hackett, have some decency! Can't you speak more politely?"

"If you ever doubt me like that again, I'll make sure to follow through."

The man on the phone seemed genuinely angry, and Valeria could hear the gritted teeth in his voice. Thankfully, it was just a phone call.
