Marriage Resumption (Valeria and Hackett)

Chapter 113 "Valeria, do you have to be like this? I've explained countless times that nothing is going on betweenand Sherri anymore. Why won't you believe me?" Keith sounded a little angry over the phone.

Valeria thought it was strange that Keith was angry. She didn't understand.

"What does my blind date have to do with whether I believe you or not? It doesn't matter whether anything is going on with you and Sherri. I would still go on blind dates no matter what.

Valeria felt that she had made it clear enough that she was not accepting Keith's argument of marriage without love.

Valeria would rather find an emotionless stranger to have a marriage without love instead of considering Keith. The man on the other end of the phone was silent for a long time. "In other words, you won't considerno matter what? your You'd rather find a stranger you can't trust to get married quickly than give it a try with me? Am I so unbearable in heart? Just because I have an ex-girlfriend?" Keith did not understand what it was about him that made Valeria refuse to consider him.

Valeria laughed and closed the book in her hand, planning to give Keith a serious explanation.

"Keith, it's not what you think. I just feel that the two of us are too familiar with each other and are not suitable for marriage. Moreover, you and Sherri clearly still have feelings for each other. Why are you torturing each other? It's not easy to meet someone you truly love. Don't miss out on your lifelong happiness because of a moment of anger. I'm advising you as someone who has been through it." "What do you mean we're too familiar with each other? Shouldn't marriage be between two people who are familiar with each other? Can marriage work if both parties don't know each other?" Keith really couldn't understand what Valeria was thinking.

Valeria said, "No, I... It's a little hard to explain properly. Anyway, stop thinking about having a marriage without love with me. I was married before, and I have a child. As for you, you clearly still have a chance to be happy. Why are you giving up on yourself?" Actually, Valeria was also a little indignant.

Keith's concept of marriage without love was like telling Valeria that he was about to give up on himself, which was why Keith wanted to marry her to stop everyone from urging him to get married.

Why should Valeria be the target of Keith's self-despair? Just because she was divorced and had a child? Valeria also had her own pride and would not give in.

Keith finally understood what was going on.

"Valeria, you've misunderstood. I'm not just trying to make do with you..." "That's not important anymore. We should remain as colleagues I think that's the most suitable identity for us. Alright, I'm sleepy. I'm going to sleep. I still have to go to court tomorrow." With that, Valeria hung up.

Keith looked at the disconnected call on his phone. He felt a little helpless and frustrated.

09:53 Sat, Nov 9 Chapter 113 Keith wondered if Valeria would have such thoughts if Sherri had not returned.

04 81% Valeria was right. Keith still had sfeelings for Sherri, but he was a little hesitant about forsaking everything and marrying Sherri now.

It wasn't because Sherri had been divorced before, but because four years ago, many things had changed.

For sreason, Keith felt that his relationship with Sherri was no longer as passionate as it was back then. It was strange.

Over the next few days, Valeria went to work at the law office as usual. Hackett did not disturb her again, and Keith did not mention those things to her again.

The matchmaking center also continued to introduce qualified Blind date matches for Valeria.

Although Valeria was not interested in blind dates, she was still willing to work hard for the kid. After all, Alex yearned for fatherly love.

Ella had taken a day off to handle smatters, so Valeria had gone to pick her son up from school before returning to the law office to continue working overtime.

"Alex, stay here and watch scartoons. When I'm done, I'll bring you hand cook something nice for you, okay?" "Mommy, don't work too hard. I'm not in a hurry. This cartoon has many episodes," Alex told her sensibly. Valeria could not help but laugh and pat Alex's little head.

This kid was usually quite infuriating, but Alex was filial to Valeria. At least Valeria had not loved him in vain. "Alright, there are fruits and drinks over there. If you want to eat them, go and get them yourself. Remember not to drink too much juice, or I will have to spank you." Valeria deliberately threatened Alex and stretched out her palm.

Alex was fearless and responded in a soft voice, "It's wrong to hit a child. The police will have to educate you if that happens." "Yeah, you're the smartest, knowing all these things. Alright, be good, and don't make noise. I will be done soon." Valeria then got down to work.

Alex, on the other hand, was obediently watching cartoons on his tablet computer. The two of them did not disturb each other and were very focused.

Valeria's phone vibrated.

As Valeria typed on the keyboard, she reached out for her phone with one hand and put it up to her ear. "This is Valeria Sharp. Who am I speaking to?" Jepson's voice cfrom the phone. "You haven't gotten off work yet? Do you have to work so hard?" "Cut the crap. What do you want?" Valeria didn't have tto talk to Jepson now. Valeria just wanted to finish her work quickly and go hto make dinner for her son.

"I heard a rumor that the James Group plans to hire you as a legal consultant. Are you going to agree?" Valeria suddenly stopped typing and leaned back in her chair. "Legal consultant? Why are they asking for me? Shouldn't they get Keith to do it? I just returned from overseas not long ago."

There was no reason for an international corporation like James Group to choose se Valeria who had just returned to the country, to be their legal consultant. Moreover, she had never been a legal consultant before. 2/3 09:54 Sat, Nov 9 Chapter 113 81% "Who knows? Anyway, that's the rumor that's going around. It seems that he personally named you. Honestly, does he have sfeelings for you? Are you guys in a secret relationship?" Jepson asked.

"You're a little too nosy. I can't be bothered to talk to you. I need to make a call. Bye." After hanging up the phone, Valeria was about to call Hackett to clarify what was going on.

However, Valeria realized that Hackett's phone number was still blocked in her phone.

As such, Valeria unblocked Hackett's number before she called him.

The phone rang for a long tbefore it was answered. A man's familiar voice cfrom the other end. "You're finally willing to unblock my number." Hackett's tone was full of self-mockery.

Valeria spoke coldly and expressionlessly, "What do you mean? Didn't I tell you that from now on, we have nothing to do with each other? Why do you want to hireas a legal consultant? Are you doing this on purpose?" "You could say that. It was deliberate."

"Why?" Hearing his righteous tone, Valeria really wanted to punch Hackett although she knew she could not really beat him. Because that's the only way to make you take the initiative to call me." There was a hint of shamelessness in Hackett's sexy and low voice. Valeria answered, "Hackett James, are you going to be this shameless?"
