Chapter 154
"Hackett!" Keith shouted angrily
He finally could not take it anymore, He was always suppressed by Hackett. Even if he had successfully proposed, he was still intercepted by Hackett. What right did Hackett have to ruin his plans? "Keith, stop fooling around. You already scared the child that night in front of him." Valeria did not want them to fight again. Just thinking about it gave her a headache.
Keith was most disappointed by Valeria's attitude. She was clearly biased towards Hackett. Could it be that she still could not forget him?
After saying that, Valeria pulled Hackett away. There were already many people watching.
Keith wanted to chase after her, but he was stopped by Sherri. "Keith, I'm not feeling well. Can you send me home?"
Keith could only give up. After all, Sherri's depression was caused by him. He could not be irresponsible.
In the car.
Valeria sat in the back of the car with the child, while Hackett was in charge of driving.
Along the way, no one spoke. The atmosphere in the car was extremely cold.
Valeria did not speak because she did not know what to say. Hackett did not speak because he was thinking about how to make Keith completely give up.
Keith was thinking about his wife and child all day long. This made him very uncomfortable.
Moreover, he had yet to win Valeria back. This was very dangerous...
After returning to River Valley, Valeria placed Alex back on the bed and carefully covered him with the blanket.
She left the bedroom and went to the living room. She found Hackett sitting on the sofa smoking. There was a hint of roguishness on his handsome side profile.
This man did not look like Alex's father at all. He looked more like a big brother.
He did
not act like a father at all. His temper was still so bad.
When Hackett saw her coming out of the bedroom, he immediately sat up straight and stubbed out his cigarette.
"Do you still have a fever? If you're tired, go back to your room and rest," Valeria said.
Hackett said, I'm not tired. Come over and let's have a chat.
Now that they were alone in the living room, the atmosphere was ambiguous and awkward. She hesitated for a few seconds, then sat on the sofa. "What do you want to talk about? If it's about remarrying, their don't. I really don't think we need to repeat the same mistake"
He did not say a word, but he was choked by Valeria's words.
The man was silent and stared at her for a long time.
Valeria raised her eyebrows slightly. "Tell me, didn't you want to talk to me?"
"There's nothing to talk about now. You've already rejected me."

Valeria could not help but laugh. She tucked a strand of stray hair behind her ear and said, "Tve never understood why you want to remarry so much. You didn't like me in the past, but now you like me? Are you sure you can stay with me for a hundred years after we remarry? Or do you want to remarry me just because of the existence of the child?"
"I wanted to remarry you before I knew about the baby
Valeria did not say anything. That seemed to be the case.
During that period of time, Hackett did not know about the existence of the child, but he wanted to remarry her.
She did not know if Hackett wanted to remarry on impulse or if he had really figured out his feelings.
Could it be that Hackett had really fallen in love with her? She was still not sure and did not believe this
In the evening.
Nightfest Club.
Hackett sat alone in the corner, drinking to drown his sorrows, one glass after another.Property © NôvelDrama.Org.
His friend, Finn, walked over and sat beside him. He said in a very annoying tone, "What's wrong with you, Mr. James? Are you feeling vexed over a woman again?"
Hackett could not be bothered to look at him. "Get lost!"
Finn let out a hearty laugh. "Tell me what's bothering you. Maybe I can help you"
The man looked up at Finn in front of him. This man was indeed an expert in love. He had been involved with many women and yet remained unaffected by any romantic or amorous advances. Perhaps he really knew how to deal with this matter.
Hackett's voice was lazy and sexy. "Tell me, how can I make a woman change her mind?"
"Change her mind? So she's your ex-girlfriend? When did you have an ex-girlfriend? Why didn't I know? Are you thinking about her again?" Finn's series of questions gave a certain someone a headache.
Hackett looked impatient. I'm here to ask you to help me solve the problem, not to ask questions. Aren't you annoying Other than the James family, almost no one knew about his secret marriage with Valeria, including his bad friend Finn. Moreover, he was very disgusted by his grandfather's forced marriage back then and had never mentioned marriage to
anyone.
Finn coughed twice. "Based on your infatuation, I'll help you. However, you have to tell me who that woman is and what her personality is first. I have to roughly understand her before I can customize a plan"
"A plan?" Hackett's eyes were filled with confusion. There was a plan to woo a woman?
Finn looked indifferent. "What else? Do you think it's easy to woo a woman! It's easy to you a woman you don't like, but it's harder than ascending to the heavens to woo a woman you like. Hackett was speechless. He had indeed experienced how difficult it was
He took out his phone, found a photo of Valeria, and showed it to Finn. "That's her. She's a lawyer. As for her personality... She used to be weak and timid, but she seems to have changed now."
Four years ago, Valeria's personality did not have any characteristics, and she was just ordinary. However, after becoming a lawyer four years later, she had a lot of personality.

When Finn saw Valeria's photo, he was shocked. "Why is it this woman again? Didn't I tell you that this woman is not clean? I saw her get an abortion in the gynecology department of the hospital four years ago. Why are you still.... Before Finn could finish, he was'interrupted by Hackett. "That child is mine! Her first kiss and first night are all mine. What else do you want to know?"
Instantly, Finn fell silent. He blinked, shook his head, and gave a thumbs up. "Mr. James is mighty. I have no more questions
now."
"Hurry up and tell me your plan. How can we make her change her mind? Cut the crap.
Finn was like a curious baby. "So you want to get her back now? I'm really curious about how you hurt her. With your family background, looks, and education, she actually won't turn back? This woman has a backbone."
The man's expression became extremely gloomy. He gritted his teeth and said, "Can you get straight to the point!" Seeing his dark expression, Finn laughed out loud. "Alright, alright, I won't tease you anymore. This beauty looks really difficult to deal with unless she's really willing. However, there are still ways, but it has to be the opposite."
"What do you mean?" Hackett narrowed his eyes. What did he mean by the opposite?
Finn leaned back on the sofa. "I mean, you have to play hard to get."
"Play hard to get? This is the plan you came up with?" Hackett really wanted to pour the glass of wine in his hand on this guy's head.
What kind of bullshit plan was this? Playing hard to get? With Valeria's current state, he still dared to play hard to get?
