Marriage Resumption (Valeria and Hackett)

Valeria could not help but laugh when the door was slammed. She felt that it was a little ridiculous. Hackett was still so insufferably arrogant. He had not changed a bit from four years ago.

However...

Did Hackett really mean what he said just now?

Hackett actually had some feelings for her when he got the marriage license with her four years ago. Sitting in her office chair, Valeria smiled as she thought about it,

Why was she always so soft-hearted toward Hackett? She seemed to want to give him another chance.

"I just want Alex to have a normal childhood. Yes, that's it..." Valeria comforted herself in a low voice.

As a result, she could not enter a working state for the entire afternoon after Hackett left. Her mind was in a mess.

Even during the meeting, Valeria was conflicted about whether she should give Hackett a chance...

Keith looked up at Valeria and said, "Valeria, do you have any other opinions on this case?"

"Hmm... Huh? What did you say?"

Valeria came to her senses when her name was called. She hadn't heard a word Keith said.

It was just like when one was distracted in class and was called out by the teacher to answer a question.

Keith frowned slightly at her absent-mindedness and said, "What's the matter? Something on your mind?"

"No, nothing. I'm sorry. I was distracted," said Valeria. She sat up straight and shook her head, trying to get back to work.

Soon, it was time to get off work.

Valeria raised her wrist to look at the time. She happened to have an appointment with a client to discuss a case. The main reason was that the client was too busy, and she could not make an appointment with him during the day. Valeria packed her things, picked up her bag, and left her office.

She took the elevator out of the office building and was about to go to the garage to drive her car when a white Bentley suddenly pulled up before her, and the car window slowly rolled down. Hackett's handsome face was revealed. He said in a deep, sexy voice, "Where are you going? I'll take you."

Valeria laughed and said, "Is this the way you talk about having a relationship?"

Hackett frowned. "Isn't that what ordinary couples do? Isn't it the most basic thing for a man to pick up his woman from work?"

It was the most basic, indeed. However, why did it seem so odd when it came to Hackett?

There was no point in thinking about it. Valeria headed straight for the garage. "Thanks for your offer, Mr. Ex-husband. No, thanks. I'm meeting a client. I can drive myself there."

Hackett was slowly driving his car to catch up with her. "Can't I be your driver? Besides, your driving skills are so bad. You'll be scolded badly because it's the rush hour right now," said Hackett. 1/3

Valeria stopped instantly and turned to look at Hackett in the ca

The scumbag's EQ was indeed pitifully low. Did he still want to have a normal relationship with her like this?

If it weren't for the James family's power and Hackett's handsome face, which woman would want to date him? He was simply a chauvinist.

"Valeria, get in the car," Hackett said again.

Valeria was really a little annoyed. She sighed, opened the car door, and sat in the front passenger seat. She fastened her seatbelt.

"Send me to Mantia Building. Thank you, Mr. Ex-husband." She deliberately emphasized the words Mr. Ex-husband because she wanted to disgust Hackett.

Hackett frowned unhappily and said, "I don't like this form of address. Change it."

"But this is the truth. Mr. Ex-husband, what are you dissatisfied with? Do you want me to take out the divorce certificate and let you reminisce about how you forced me to sign the divorce agreement back then?" Hackett did not say anything else. It seemed that Valeria was deliberately embarrassing him.

It didn't matter. He wouldn't argue with a woman, especially his woman.

Moreover, Hackett had indeed owed Valeria a lot in the past. Now, he had to make up for her one by one.

Valeria waited a long while but did not receive any response from Hackett. She was more or less a little surprised. Hackett's temper had improved?

Sure enough, it was rush hour. The road was blocked heavily.

In the past, when she drove past this intersection, she would be cut in line by other cars or honked by the driver behind her, which caused her to be nervous and flustered. Her car was scratched several times. Today, Hackett drove her smoothly past this intersection.

She couldn't help but wonder if her driving skills were poor or if she was only driving a little slower...

When they finally arrived at Mantia Building, the car entered the underground parking lot.

Valeria unbuckled her seatbelt and said, "You can leave now. I might have to talk about work for a long time. I'll take a taxi back later."

Unexpectedly, Hackett unfastened his seatbelt and followed her out of the car. His tall figure walked behind her.

Valeria stopped in her tracks and looked back at him in confusion. "Why are you following me? You'll not meet a client with me, won't you?" "It's fine. I won't disturb you. I'll only sit at the table next to yours," Hackett said.

Valeria was a little speechless. She even found it unbelievable.

Was he still Hackett James, the irritable guy? He was actually willing to sit at the next table and wait for her?

"What if I talk for a few hours?" These things could happen. She would certainly extend the time if she failed to negotiate with the client. Hackett did not think much of it and said, "I'll wait for you. I'm free today."

Valeria narrowed her eyes

+15

Hackett was James Group's future heir, and how could he be so idle? His daily schedule was so full. How could he have time

to waste?

Forget it. She couldn't be bothered with him. She was running lae for her appointment.

Valeria quickly walked toward the elevator. She had to reach the agreed location before the client. It was etiquette.

Because Valeria was so anxious that she accidentally sprained her ankle when she walked into the elevator. Luckily, she was held by Hackett behind her. "Walk properly. You don't look like a lawyer when you're so rash," Hackett scolded her. Valeria could not help but roll her eyes at him and said, "Got it!

It was strange that Hackett was begging her to have a relationship with him, but why did she feel pressed down by his aura?

Ding-dong.

They reached the 15th floor. Valeria walked into a cafe and chose a seat by the window.

Meanwhile, Hackett tactfully took a seat next to the aisle. However, he kept staring at Valeria like a bodyguard.

Valeria felt goosebumps all over her body from his stare. She looked over helplessly and said. "Could you please stop staring at me?"

How would she get into the mood to talk about work with her clients later?

"Okay," said Hackett. The corners of his lips curled up.

At this moment, the waiter walked over and got the menu for him to order.

After waiting for a few minutes, Valeria's client, Devin Gove, finally arrived. He was the CEO of an advertising agency and was looking for her to settle the property division of the divorce case.Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

Valeria stood up and extended her hand with a smile. "Hello, Mr. Gove. I'm Valeria Sharp from the Cooper Law Office."

"Hello. Young lady. You're very young. I thought you were a mature woman when Keith strongly recommended you." Devin shook Valeria's hand and sat opposite her.
