Chapter 175
Why was he angry?
Valeria did not understand why this man was angry.
Valeria stood up somewhat nervously, saying. "That is exactly what I think. No matter how many times you ask, that is what I think"
With that, Valeria walked towards the room. Her back looked like she was fleeing
Hackett did not call out to Valeria this time. Instead, he sat in silence on the sofa, his handsome face tensed with anger. What infuriated Hackett the most right now was not Valeria's attitude, but the stupid idea that Finn had come up with.
"This was called effective? Hackett questioned.
Why did Hackett feel that Vale another woman.
"Fuck.
was becoming more resistant to him? Now, Valeria was even pushing Hackett towards
Hackett could not help but curse. He even had the urge to beat Finn up.NôvelDrama.Org owns this.
At this moment, Ella brewed a cup of coffee. Not seeing Valeria around, Ella awkwardly placed the coffee in front of Hackett. Mr. James, please have some coffee. Where is Valeria?" Hackett's voice was extremely cold. "Back to the room."
Ella could not help but gulp. She was almost frozen by Hackett's cold tone.
Ella smiled awkwardly, then turned around and walked towards Valeria's room.
Staying any longer, Ella felt like she might freeze to death. Hackett had an indulgent look when Valeria was around. Why was he so terrifying when Valeria was not there? In the bedroom
Valeria lay on the bed and buried her head under the pillow, feeling ashamed of her act just now.
What was wrong with herself?
Valeria had clearly promised Hackett that they would be friends from now on, but she could not help but care about what was going on with his first love, Nancy.
Valeria could not help but throw in sarcastic remarks from time to time. What was wrong with her? Was she really feeling jealous?
Suddenly, Valeria removed the pillow and began to mutter to herself in the air. "Valeria, get a grip. You have no right to be jealous. What are you thinking? Even if they really did get back together, it has nothing to do with you."
Valeria was in the middle of her self-talk when suddenly Ella walked in without knocking, startling Valeria, and causing Valeria to sit up abruptly on the bed.
After seeing that it was Ella, Valeria heaved a sigh of relief and complained. "Ella, what are you doing? Why did you not knock before coming in? Are you trying to scare me to death?"
After Ella closed the door, Ella walked to Valeria's bed and sat down. "I am the one who is going to be scared to death by your
ex-husband"
"What do you mean! Did Hackett threaten you on purpose? Hackett did not seem to be such a boring person.
Ella said, "No, it is just that he was sitting alone on the sofa with such an expressionless face, which was quite intimidating 1 have noticed that Hackett is only gentle to some extent when you are around. His attitude towards others is completely different."
Valeria was left speechless.
Valeria thought in her mind, "I know that Hackett has always had a bad temper, but he is gentle in front of me? Are you kidding me?"
Four years ago, after they got married, Hackett would come home and be cold towards Valeria. At that time, Valeria did not know where her warmth came from, always trying to get close to Hackett's cold demeanor.
"By the way, you have not told me why you guys suddenly came back. Also, Hackett seems to have injured his foot? Also, where is Alex? Why are only the two of you back?" Ella was full of doubts.
Valeria leaned against the bedside with a hint of helplessness in her voice. "Do not mention it. During the camping trip. Hackett was bitten by a snake on his ankle, and the wound got infected. That is why we came back early. Alex was picked up by Barron, and I will go get Alex tomorrow. Let Alex spend the day with Barron."
Barron had been looking forward to Alex for too long. Having such a little treasure suddenly appear was like a dream come true for him. Barron would definitely dote on Alex.
Ella finally understood what was going on and nodded. "Then will Mr. James be staying here for the next two days? Shall 1 help him clean up a guest room?"
"Dream on! Let Hackett make do with the couch for the night. Send him home tomorrow and pick up Alex."
Why did it feel like they were exchanging hostages?
Ella asked, "Is this appropriate? We are still living in Hackett's house."
"What is inappropriate about it?" Valeria snorted.
Soon, night fell and it was time for dinner.
After Ella made dinner, she did not dare to call Hackett for dinner. Ella could only call Valeria first.
Upon leaving the bedroom, Valeria noticed that Hackett was still sitting on the sofa. Valeria could not tell if it was because of Hackett's sore ankle that made him reluctant to walk or if he was sulking, but he had been in the same position for the entire afternoon. Valeria walked into the living room and cleared her throat deliberately, "Can you get up and walk? Come over for dinner or grandpa will accuse me of mistreating you.
Hackett looked up at Valeria and then looked around. "Are you talking to me?"
"Who else? Is there anyone else here besides you?" Valeria smiled. This bastard was looking for trouble again.
"Do I not have a name? I remember that grandpa gave me a name."
She did not understand what this bastard was trying to do.
Valeria said angrily, "Hackett James! Come and eat!"
With that, Valeria walked straight to the dining room. In any case, she would not help Hackett anymore. Hackett had rested
for the entire afternoon sole should feel better.
Hackett did not say anything either. He just got up and headed to the dining room, although his walking looked a bit strange, and he moved slower than usual. Hackett deliberately sat beside Valeria and said, "Help me get a bowl of soup."
"Why do I remember that your foot is injured, not your hand? Vileria's rebellious heart exploded. They were already divorced, so why should she still serve him? Hackett glanced at her profile. Four years as a lawyer had indeed made Valeria more articulate.
"I was hurt because of you, you have to take care of me."
Valeria had just started speaking when Hackett interrupted her. I know what you want to say. Do not bother, and do not think about remarriage. Have I not told you before? We are just friends now. I have no other intentions towards you. I would rather go after my first love than keep bothering you. Rest assured."
Valeria blinked her eyes. For a moment, she did not know how to respond.
Suppressing her anger, Valeria scooped a bowl of soup for Hackett and placed it in front of him.
Ella, who was sitting opposite, could not help but laugh when she saw this scene. For some reason, Ella felt that the two of them were like newlyweds who had quarreled. They were a perfect match.
"What are you laughing at?" Valeria looked at Ella who was holding back her laughter.
Ella looked up and pretended to be innocent. "Huh? No. I just accidentally got choked."
Hackett picked up the porcelain bowl and drank the soup elegantly, as if he was really here to recuperate.
"Get me some food," Hackett said again.
Valeria was confused. Did Hackett treat her as a maid? He even ordered her around?
When Hackett wanted to get Valeria back, he still knew how to treat her well. Now that Hackett no longer had any feelings for her, he started to have a bad attitude?
Hackett's true nature was finally revealed.
Hackett glanced at Valeria again. "Get me the food. I am hungry. How can I recover if I do not eat enough?" Hackett said.
