Marriage Resumption (Valeria and Hackett)

Chapter 257 Hackett looked at Loretta, who was crying uncontrollably. He said in a deep voice. "Not only did we find her, but she also gave birth to a lovely son for me, who is your grandson. His nis Alex, and he's very clever." Upon hearing his words, Loretta couldn't help but smile. "Alex, what a nice name. Where is my daughter Elena now? I want to see her.

However, Clayton seemed unwilling to believe. "What daughter? Elena has been missing for twenty years. Do you really believe Hackett could find her in such a short time? It's impossibilet Elena might have..." Over the years, Clayton had been tirelessly searching for his eldest daughter using various methods, but he believed that his eldest daughter might no longer be alive.

"Mr. Maddox, if you don't believe it, you can do a paternity test yourself. It shouldn't be too difficult for you. You can easily find my ex-wife's address, It's just a simple check for you, Hackett said in a firm tone.

As soon as he finished speaking. Loretta shouted while holding the paternity test result, "Are you trying to say that Elena is already gone? That's impossible! I've always believed that Elena is still alive. Now, the paternity test is right here. What more evidence do you need? Don't you want to reunite with our daughter?" Clayton fell silent.

Of course, he wanted to reunite with his daughter. He was just unwilling to be toyed with by this brat today. And who knew if this brat was up to something? At this point, Rhonda spoke, "Mr. James, are you saying that Elena is your ex-wife? And she has a child?" Hackett nodded. "Yes." Rhonda frowned and said, "If that's the case, won't you becElsie's brother-in-law? How can you marry her? It's not acceptable!" Finally, Rhonda realized the issue.

Elsie looked bewildered and also grasped the situation. So, Hackett becher brother-in-law? Even though Hackett and Valeria were divorced, he was still her brother-in-law.

And that little guy she had bothered in kindergarten was her own nephew? At this moment, everything felt strangely odd to her.

Elsie had mixed feelings. She couldn't quite put into words what she was feeling.

If they were all related this way, did that mean there was never a chance for her and Hackett? For sreason, Elsie suddenly felt irritated when she had this thought.

Was it because she couldn't be with Hackett, or was it because of the foolish things she had done in the past? Why did fate have to be so cruel? How could this happen..

Hackett looked at Rhonda and spoke with great sincerity, "Yes, Mrs. Rhonda, that's why I hesitated to appear today. I was waiting for this paternity test result, It's not that I don't want to marry, but I can't Elsie sneered inwardly. She couldn't help but feel that Hackett seemed to have known all along, 08-22 Mon, Nov Chapter 257 Otherwise, how could he have been so confident that the engagement banquet would be canceled? He probably knew about this long ago. He was acting like he was victim, looking so wrong.

Elsie now realized that Hackett was very cunning, with a depth of calculation that was immeasurable. The cancellation of the engagement banquet unfolded perfectly, leaving Clayton speechless. Indeed, Hackett couldn't marry Elsic.

As Hackett left the hotel, Elsie followed him. "Hackett, stop right there!" Hackett slowed his steps and asked. "What is it?" "You're just leaving like this? There are so many people here, and you won't even explain the situation in person. Instead, you're leaving this mess for us to deal with?" Elsie grew more frustrated as she thought about it. What was this man's intention? Elsie had been eager for her elder sister to be found quickly so that her family's attention wouldn't be solely focused on her elder sister But now that she knew her elder sister was Hackett's ex-wife, she suddenly felt a reluctance to have her elder sister return home.

Hackett turned to her and retorted, "What else would you havedo? Should I have stayed to explain? It's your family that wanted this union, not something I desired.

Elsie asked furiously, "What do you mean? Are you saying I'm shamelessly eager to marry you?" "Isn't that the case?" Hackett was done with the conversation. Now, he wanted to see Valeria. He figured he should inform hér about this matter in advance.

Elsie blurted out, "You're talking nonsense!" Hackett furrowed his brows. The engagement banquet has been canceled. You should go find Kaden. Why waste there with me? Don't tellyou've taken a liking to me." Elsie's heart skipped a beat. It was like he had struck a chord in her heart.

"Of course not! I would never like a conspiring man like you! Never!" The more vehemently she denied it, the louder she became, making it seem like she was protesting too much out of guilt.

Hackett couldn't be bothered to guess her thoughts. He shrugged off her denial. "That's for the best. I wouldn't like you Go find your poor boy. He's probably still waiting for you. It's going to get colder tonight. If you're not worried that he'll freeze to death, stay here and keep wasting your time." anyway.

"You!" Elsie wanted to say more, but Hackett had already turned and walked away, not looking back. It seemed like he had no attachment to her.

She watched his cold back. She muttered under her breath, "Could it be that you have absolutely no feelings for me? Am 1 really that uncharming... Meanwhile, at River Valley, After Valeria finished her shower and prepared to go to bed, she knew she had to do shiring the next day.

Running a law office was proving to be more complicated than she had thought. She was so busy that she was almost 08:22 Mon, Nov 18 G TO Chapter 257 skipping meals.

Her phone rang, and she glanced at it. It was Hackett calling.

Valeria didn't pick up and ended the call.

She didn't believe there was anything left to talk about with Hackett at this point. Besides their child, what else was there to discuss? Clearly. Hackett wasn't calling at this hour to discuss their child.

The phone rang again, and Valeria decisively ended the call once more.

On the other end. Hackett looked at the disconnected call with a furrowed was brow. Perhaps she was already asleep, or maybe she just didn't want to answer. It was quite late now. Well, he would talk to her tomorrow.

However, Hackett didn't anticipate that the Maddox family beat him to it.

The next morning, early dawn Valeria was still asleep and hadn't gotten out of bed yet. Outside, she heard Ella opening the door. It seemed like someone had cto visit.

Valeria sat up groggily, intending to freshen up a bit before going out to see who it was At the stime, Ella was looking at the peculiar group in front of her. She wondered what they were there for.

"May I ask if you have sbusiness with Valeria? Are you here to file a wsuit?" In her innocence, Ella thought they were clients coming to the law office.

Clayton gave the place a quick look and said. "No, we have personal matters with her. Could you please call herdu" WA Ella felt that Alright...

the atmosphere was strange, quite stifling, a feeling hard to put into words. SEND GIFT COMMENT 0 08:23 Mon, Nov 18 GT
