Tsk, I don't care. In the future, when I have my own law office, I'll probably be even busier. Don't ctofor minor matters in the company. But for big issues like this, you must notify me." He stared at her. "Okay" This wasn't the sValeria from four years ago, who only revolved around him. Now, she had her own career, her own thoughts, and her own personality. She had becindependent. Hackett had a strange sense of crisis. Valeria seemed to no longer need his protection.
If one day, Valeria found a man who genuinely loved her, and she loved him in return, what would he do...
Hackett couldn't shake the feeling that Valeria's feelings for him had faded. Now, they seemed to be in a relationship solely Chapter 201 focused on co-parenting their child. She was reluctant to putinvestments into their relationship. It was already noon.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe two of them were having lunch in the company cafeteria.
Valeria didn't seem very hungry. She ate absentmindedly. On the other hand, Hackett was eating with concentration, though. he didn't look particularly hungry either.
"Are you hungry? I remember you used to not really like the food in the company cafeteria, Valeria asked. Hackett looked up at her. "Even if I'm not hungry, I still have to eat. Many things require my attention. If I wait until I'm hungry to eat, I might not have the time." Valeria did not reply.
It seemed to be true. Ever since Barron passed away, all the heavy responsibilities fell on Hackett.
He didn't want to bear them, but he had no choice. Every day, as soon as he woke up, there were various matters to attend to. There was no room for choice.
"How's the found on your back? Have you been to the hospital? Valeria asked.
"No. I don't have the time. I've been applying medication myself and it seems to be recovering fine," Hackett replied.
After Nancy had helped him apply the medication, he chose to do it himself. Even if he couldn't reach certain spots, he wouldn't ask Tyler. That idiot Tyler would only ask his female secretary to do it. Hence, it was better for Hackett to handle it himself Valeria frowned. Was this man too neglectful of his well-being? Even if he was busy, he should pay attention to the wound on his back. After all, he was injured by sulfuric acid! "I think you're pushing yourself too hard. You have so many employees. Is it really necessary to do this? That's sulfuric acid, You should pay attention to the recovery of your wound!" Valeria found herself getting unreasonably angry, and she didn't even know why she was angry herself.
Hackett looked at her angry face, but he smiled and asked, "Do you care?" "Me!" Valeria was taken aback for a moment. She then quickly denied it. "Why would I care? It's your body, not mine. Besides, we're already divorced. You're my ex-husband. I don't care about you." Hackett looked at the mashed potato on his plate, seemingly lost in thought. He spoke slowly, "Valeria....... L..." "What do you want to say?" "Never mind, it's nothing. Finish your meal. I'll have Tyler take you hlater. I have several more meetings in the afternoon" He thought it over and decided that he wasn't worthy anymore. Valeria felt like she might have guessed what he wanted to say, but at the stime, she might not have.
In the afternoon, Valeria continued to work on her law office affairs and entered the decoration stage.

Valeria, I'm picking upAlex, from kindergarten. The group of of people Om from the Maddox family cin the morning. They also want to pick up Alex from school. What should I do?" The Maddox family? Valeria immediately put down the documents in her hands. She had a serious expression. "Wait there. I'm coming right She quickly drove to the outside of the kindergarten and saw Ell holding Alex's hand. They were facing the Maddox elderly couple. Elsie was no there this time.
Alex tightly held Ella's hand. He looked timidly at the two grandparents in front of him and pouted his little mouth in distress.
"I want Mommy..." Ella gently patted Alex's head. "Mommy will be here soon."
Seeing this scene, Valeria was instantly furious. She walked over and said, "What exactly are you trying to do? Do you want to force us into acknowledging you as our family?" As soon as Alex saw her, he immediately rushed into her arms and hugged her long legs tightly. Valeria picked up her son. "Good boy, Mommy's here." Clayton wrinkled his brows. "What's with your attitude? Your mother just wanted to see the child. We haven't done anything. Is it necessary to treat us with such hostility?"
"What's good about seeing you? He doesn't even know you. Do you think he'd like unfamiliar grandparents?" Valeria couldn't understand why the Maddox family was in such a hurry. Couldn't they give her a little more tto think it through?
