Marriage Resumption (Valeria and Hackett)

Resumption 418

Chapter 418

His phone vibrated.

Simon glanced at the screen. It was Elizabeth.

He could imagine what Elizabeth wanted to say. She probably wanted to tell on Valeria.

The man swiped the screen and placed it by his car. "Shouldn't you be having dinner with your parents at this time? How come you have the time to call me?" "Simon, didn't Ernest tell you what happened today? I thought Ernest from the Lawrence family would be very dutiful. I didn't expect him to be so unprofessional." Elizabeth's words were filled with sarcasm.

The man chuckled. "I told you. Isn't it just a matter of the two of you slapping each other? Neither of you suffered a loss. What's there to care about?"

The understatement made Elizabeth furious on the other end of the line.

"Do you really like that woman that much? Is that why you asked her to give birth to your child? I really don't understand what's so special about her. There are many women who are prettier than her. Why are you so special to her?"

What Elizabeth actually wanted to say was that she didn't think she was any worse than Valeria. Why couldn't she make Simon notice her?

Simon listened to the woman venting her anger with an indifferent expression on his face. "Are you done? When you're done, hang up. I'm going to eat."

With that, he hung up without giving Elizabeth any room to refute.

In the dining room.

Valeria and the little one were already seated and eating.

Simon was afraid that they couldn't get used to Silverbrookian food, so he asked the kitchen to cook Creyquean food.

Simon looked at the bowl of spaghetti in front of Valeria. The fragrance was wafting, and the little guy beside her ate the spaghetti seriously, as if that bowl of spaghetti was his entire world.

The man sat in the chair and looked at the little guy. "Is it good?" he asked.

Initially, he did not like children, but when he thought that this was his child, he became more patient.

The little one glanced at Simon and did not say anything. Instead, he approached Valeria and whispered, "Mommy, has Daddy not been obedient recently?"
