Marriage Resumption (Valeria and Hackett)

Chapter 40

When Valeria returned, she saw that the bodyguards had beaten up the kidnapper badly.

She didn't dare to look any longer, so she took her phone and ran away.

She walked out of the nightclub and flagged down a taxi. Just as he was about to call Jepson, her phone rang.

It was Keith calling.

Valeria picked up the call. "Hello..."

"Valeria, where are you? Jepson said that he couldn't get through to you for the entire night. Alex has been with him. What's going on!"

Keith sounded a little anxious on the phone. It seemed that he had been looking for Valeria for a long time, too.

"L. It's a long story. We'll talk about it later. I'll go to pick up Alex now. Please ask Jepson to wait for me at home."

Then, she hung up. There was no time to explain so much now. She only wanted to see Alex quickly so that she could be at

case.

Half an hour later, Valeria rushed to Jepson's home and pressed the doorbell.

The moment the door opened, Alex said excitedly, "Mommy!"

It was this brat who opened the door. It seemed that he was really worried about her.

Valeria squatted down and hugged Alex's fragrant body, instantly feeling safe.

"I'm sorry I'm late."

Alex hugged her and patted her back. Then, he suddenly seemed to find out something, and he touched her face. "Mommy. what's wrong with your face? Why is it red? Did someone bully you?" Alex's expression suddenly became very serious.

She turned her head away awkwardly and explained perfunctorily, "It's nothing. I accidentally got sunburned. The sunshine

strong today, and there's no sunscreen on my face, so..."

"Valeria, didn't you go to look at the apartment? Why couldn't we get through to you all night? Alex and I thought something had happened to you and almost called the police." Jepson stood behind Valeria and Alex, leaning against the door frame. Valeria stood up and held Alex's hand. "I'm sorry. I was delayed by something today. I'll take Alex home now. You should rest early, too."

Just as she was about to turn around and leave, another man's voice came from the apartment.

"I don't think you drove here. Let me drive you two back."

Valeria stiffened.

Why was Keith here, too?

"That's great. Keith, I'll leave them to you. I will be able to have good sleep tonight, Jepson said with a smile,

Keith picked up his coat and walked over. He easily carried Alex with one arm and said to Valeria, "Let's go ti uNôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.

Valeria silently walked behind Keith.

When they reached the parking lot, Keith gently placed Alex in the backseat and closed the door.

He turned around and looked at Valeria. "What happened tonight?*

He also noticed the wound at the corner of her mouth and the red palm mark on her cheek at a glance as if she had been ravaged.

Valeria said, "I had been kidnapped, but fortunately, I was rescue, so I'm fine now."

Kidnapped?

Shock appeared in Keith's eyes. How could Valeria say the word "kidnap" so easily and calmly?

"Did your ex-husband get you out?"

"How did you know that?" Valeria was a little surprised, for his guess was so a

accurate.

Keith smiled. "Who else in Alcomara had the ability to save you within a few hours after you were kidnapped? Moreover, Hackett James mobilized quite a number of people in such a short time. Even I got some news about it can be seen how anxious he was to save you." Valeria was speechless.

Suddenly, Valeria felt a little guilty.

She had angered Hackett quite badly just now. This was the first time she had seen Hackett so angry. In particular, he said. don't want to see you again." She really disappointed him. The manor.

Hackett drove his car quite fast all the way

back to the manor.

He was the only one from the James family that lived in the huge James Manor. There was a noble and lonely aura everywhere.

The violent sound of brakes broke the silence of the manor. The butler hurriedly walked over to welcome Hackett.

"Mr. James, you're back."

Hackett slammed the car door shut and did not say anything. He walked straight to the villa area.

The butler followed him and said, "Do I need to prepare dinner? Have you eaten?"

""No need!"

Hackett's mind was filled with Valeria's face. She looked so anxious and was in such a hurry to tell Keith Cooper's son that she was safe. How ironic it was!

He had worked so hard to save Valeria, but all she could think about was Keith Cooper and his son!

"By the way, Ms. Yeats is here. She's waiting for you in the living room.

"Tell her that I'm not here and won't be back tonight." He had no time to care about Cheryl now. He had nowhere to vent his anger. ti.

"I did, but Ms. Yeats insisted on waiting for you to come back. She has been waiting in the living room for more than two hours. You'd better go and meet her, the butler said awkwardly. Hackett finally stopped and turned around to look at the butler, saying angrily, "Trash! You can't even handle such a small matter!"

In the living room, Cheryl sat on the sofa, feeling as if she were sitting on pins and needles.

At this moment, her mind was filled with the little boy she saw outside Valeria's apartment. The more she thought, the more she felt that he looked like Hackett.

"If the boy is really Valeria and Hackett's son, what should I do?

"I definitely can't let Hackett know of this boy's existence.

"However, there is no way to confirm that he is Hackett's son. I have to think of a way to get Hackett and him to have a DNA paternity test conducted"

Suddenly, there was a muffled sound of footsteps.

Cheryl suddenly raised her head and looked over. As expected, Hackett had returned.

"Hackett, you're back. Cheryl stood up.

Hackett walked to the single sofa and sat down with a lot of anger

"Why aren't you going home to sleep at this hour?"

Cheryl stammered, "What was wrong with you today? Why did you leave me alone on the red carpet? Do you know how- embarrassed I was?"

Hackett frowned and said in a deep voice, "Valeria had some trouble. I went to deal with it. I'm sorry. I'll make it up to you

next time."

What was wrong with Valeria? Is she all right now?"

Hackett had indeed gone to help Valeria!

Cheryl was about to explode from anger, but she still had to pretend to be gentle and pleasant.

"She is fine now." Hackett pinched the space between his eyebrows. He was furious at the thought of Valeria. What a heartless

woman she was!

"That's good." Cheryl thought about it and asked indirectly, "Hackett, Valeria was pregnant with your child in the past, right? Are you sure she aborted that child?" Hackett looked up and narrowed his eyes. "Why are you asking this question?"

Or what?

Did Valeria still give birth to that child?

Since Valeria said that she had had an abortion, Hackett had never thought of such a possibility.

"It's nothing. I just want to know whether she was really pregnant. I'm afraid that she lied to you..."

"No, she didn't. The abortion was already verified. Someone saw her go to the gynecology department for the abortion with his own eyes.
