Marriage Resumption (Valeria and Hackett)
Resumption 81

Chapter 81

Meanwhile, Valeria was with Alex in Starry Bay.

"Mommy, I don't want to wash my hair. It's so uncomfortable."

"No, you didn't wash your hair yesterday. You have to wash it toy. The kids will only play with you if you are clean and fragrant. Otherwise, no one will want to play with you."

Alex stood in the bathtub and kept dodging the showerhead in her hand because he did not want to wash his hair.

Meanwhile, Valeria had made up her mind. She had to wash this brat's hair tonight.

Last night, Alex escaped because he had put on a cute expression. Tonight, this brat could not escape washing his hair, no matter what he did.

"Baby, be good. Come over quickly. After washing your hair, you can watch your cartoon, okay?"

Valeria began to coax Alex, while Alex's face was filled with disdain. "Mommy, you're lying to me again. You won't let me watch cartoons before I sleep at all. You always use this to trick me. Hmph..." This little brat had really grown up. He was becoming more and more difficult to deceive.

"I'm serious this time. I am not lying! Come over!"

Valeria pulled her son toward her and quickly aimed the showerhead at the little head. Amidst Alex's screams, she finished

washing his hair.

She wrapped her boy in a towel and carried him back to the bed in the bedroom. Then, she prepared to tell a story to coax her baby to sleep.

However, just as Valeria turned around to get the storybook, she realized Alex had already fallen asleep in a second. He was sleeping obediently with his mouth slightly open.

She couldn't help but smile when she saw this sleeping posture.

After covering her baby boy with the blanket, she turned off the bedside lamp and left the bedroom.

Valeria returned to her bedroom and prepared to take a shower and sleep. She had a tiring day.

Her phone suddenly rang. She glanced at it and saw that it was Hackett. The man seemed to have turned on his annoying mode. Did he think that this was how he should woo a woman? Valeria turned her phone into silent mode and walked into the bathroom to shower.

Half an hour later, she came out of the bathroom in her bathrobe, drying her hair and looking at her phone.

She realized there were at least seven to eight missed calls from Hackett.

It made her wonder if he called her because of some urgent matter.

Valeria picked up her phone and hesitated if she should call back.

Unexpectedly, another call came in. It was Hackett again.

She answered the phone and put it to her ear. "Why aren't you sleeping at night and calling me instead?"

The man's voice on the other end of the line was low and hoarse as if he were drunk. "I want to hear your voice."

Valeria thought, "Does he have to be so clingy?"

Then, she said, "Mr. Hackett, is this how you date a woman? Do you really think this is how a couple should interact?"

"Why don't you teach me? I've never been in love with a woman before."

She sneered. "Are you kidding me? You have never been in a relationship with a woman? I can see the rumors of your affairs everywhere. "That's why they were just rumors,"

"I don't want to waste my time talking to you. I've had a long day and I'm a little sleepy. I want to sleep."

With that, Valeria was about to hang up the call when Hackett stopped her. "Don't hang up. I have something to tell you."

"What is it?"

"It's my birthday the day after tomorrow. Can you spend some time with me that day?"

Birthday!

Hackett's birthday was simply Valeria's nightmare!

She still remembered that four years ago, she secretly wanted to surprise a man and make him a birthday cake.

However, when she brought the birthday cake to the man, Hackett flew into a rage and smashed the cake on the ground, warning Valeria not to celebrate his birthday with him again.

Valeria was so scared that she cried. She had no idea why Hackett was mad.

"How dare Hackett mention his birthday! Scumbag!" thought Valeria.

"How dare you mention your birthday to me! Have you forgotten how you smashed my cake four years ago? You even warned me not to celebrate your birthday with you again. Have you forgotten? But that memory is printed in my mind." Every time she thought of that scene, tears of humiliation would well up in her eyes. She could not understand why Hackett seemed to hate her so much.

The man on the phone was silent for a long time...

After some time, Hackett slowly said, "I'm sorry..."

Valeria was more or less surprised that this man had apologized to her. Moreover, he sounded pretty sincere.

It made her wonder if this was Hackett, who never felt he made any mistake and was arrogant.

"Can I refuse to accept your apology?" So, she felt Hackett didn't like her at all back then. Otherwise, why would he treat her so badly?

"Of course, you have the right to choose, but I still want to spend the day after tomorrow with you. I'll pick you up then. It will only take up two hours of your time at night."

With that, he hung up without giving her a chance to refuse.

Valeria felt ridiculous when she saw the call was hung up.

This bastard said he wanted to change his bad temper, but he was still as overbearing and arrogant as before.

She knew Hackett would not change so quickly.

Chapter 81

Two days later, Valeria's schedule for the entire day was packed. After the meeting, it was already seven in the evening.

She had forgotten Hackett's birthday entirely. She drove back to Starry Bay and planned to make dinner for Alex.

When it was almost eight o'clock, lightning flashed, and thunder rumbled outside. Then, it began to pour outside. "Mommy, it's thundering. I'm scared..."

Alex quickly pounced into her arms and hugged her tightly.

"Honey, don't be afraid. It's just thunder. Mommy will go and close the window."

Valeria got up and closed the window. She looked at the pea-sized raindrops outside and muttered, "Why is it raining so heavily suddenly...?"

"Go play with the bodyguard in the living room. Mommy will prepare dinner soon."

Valeria glanced at the bodyguard in the living room. He had been doing his best to look after the little boy for the past few days, but she had to replace a new bodyguard and nanny as soon as possible.

"Okay!" Alex ran into the living room.

At this moment, her phone rang.

Valeria was about to serve the dishes and have it with Alex.

She glanced at the unknown number on her phone and picked up the call in confusion. "Who is on the line please?"

"Ms. Sharp, it's Ernest. I want to ask if Mr. Hackett is with you. He made a table full of dishes and said he wanted to pick you up for his birthday. Why haven't you and him returned after so long? The call didn't get through when I called his number." It was a call from the butler of the manor.

However... the birthday!

Valeria had completely forgotten about his birthday. Moreover, Hackett did not look for her or call her.

"No, he didn't come to meet me or call me. Maybe he went to celebrate his birthday with his friend?"

"That's impossible. Mr. Hackett never cooks. Today, he worked with the chef for the entire afternoon and personally went to pick you up for his birthday. But now that we've lost contact and it's raining so heavily. I'm a little worried..." Valeria understood why the butler was worried. After all, it was pretty dangerous to drive on a rainy day, especially in such heavy rain.

"I'll give him a call."

his

"Alright, thank you, Ms. Sharp. Mr. Hackett seemed to be in a good mood before he left today. He seemed to be looking forward to you tasting his cooking. Therefore, I'm afraid that something will happen to him since he did not pick up phone." "Don't worry. I'll try to replace him."

After Valeria hung up, she felt a little uneasy.
