Marriage Resumption (Valeria and Hackett)

Valeria glanced at Hackett. "You should stay here tonight too. Alex is asleep. I'm too lazy to carry him."

The man frowned slightly.

However, when Kaden heard this, he panicked. Kaden did not want Hackett to remarry Valeria, especially the idea of Hackett once again becoming a part of the Maddox family. That would pose a significant risk to him.

Kaden thought, "Hackett would get rid of me, this eyesore, sooner or later."

"I don't think that's appropriate. I've never heard of an ex-husband staying at his in-laws' house."

Valeria sneered and stood up. "I've never heard of anyone staying at their in-laws' house on their wedding night. Don't you have your own house? As a man, you didn't even prepare a marital house. Aren't you embarrassed to stay here? How dare you say that about my ex-husband?"

Kaden was rendered speechless. His heart was overwhelmed with grievance.

As a man, he was a little financially challenged, but how could he afford to buy a house in Alcomara? He could not afford one even if he worked hard for his entire life.

Wasn't this the reason he looked for Elsie? If he was also a rich kid, why did he have to suffer such grievances?

Kaden's mother followed behind him. When she saw her son being ridiculed like this, she could not help but scold Valeria, "You bitch, what right do you have to scold my son? It's his ability that my son can be the Maddox family's live-in son-in-law! It was Elsie who took a fancy to my son! Elsie, don't you think so?"

Elsie kept quiet. She closed her eyes and did not want to say a word. She turned around and walked upstairs.

"I dare you to scold me again. What's going on? Are you planning to leech on us too? Isn't it enough for your son to move in? Is an old woman like you moving in too?"

Kaden roared, "Ms. Sharp, you're a well-educated person after all. Don't speak so harshly."

"Am I speaking harshly or your mother? Didn't you hear her call me a bitch just now?" Valeria stared at Kaden. The more she looked at him, the more she disliked him.

Kaden held his mother's arm. "Mom, go to sleep first. I have something to discuss with Valeria."

"Kaden, don't let them bully you! This will be your home from now on. She can't control you! It's humiliating for a divorced woman like her to still leech on her family. Be tough!" The old woman didn't think there was anything wrong with living here. She even felt that this place would eventually be Kaden's.

Kaden

gave

the old woman a look before she reluctantly went back to sleep.

"So that's what your mother thinks." Valeria's voice trailed off as she crossed her arms and chuckled.

Kaden suppressed the anger in his heart and turned around. "Ms. Sharp, don't mind her. My mother is an old lady from the countryside. She's uncultured and uneducated. Forgive her." With that, he turned around and went back upstairs.

Kaden also knew that if he stayed any longer, he would only make things worse. At this moment, he did not have the power to confront these two individuals. Everything had just begun. 1/3

Valeria looked at the man's hack as he went upstairs and sat back in her seat. "Did you see that? He's slowly revealing his wolf skin."

"So, are you sure you want me to stay here tonight?" That was what Hackett was concerned about.

"Of course. If someone like Kaden can stay here, why can't you?"

The man's lips curled into a smile. "It's indeed not appropriate for an ex-husband like me to stay at my in-laws' house, right?"

Valeria narrowed her eyes slightly. "So if I want you to sleep here for a night, do I have to remarry you?"

"I didn't say that. If you want to interpret it that way, sure thing.

Valeria suddenly sat up straight and said with a serious expression, "How about this? If you can chase Kaden out of the Maddox family, I'll agree to your remarriage."

It seemed like she was making a request, but she was giving herself a way out.

Over the past few days, Valeria had thought a lot and observed this man for a long time. She seemed to quite like Hackett and wanted to give him a shot again.

Hackett was slightly stunned and stared at her for a long time.

He did not expect her to say that.

Noticing his prolonged silence, Valeria thought that she was overthinking it. She looked away awkwardly. "It's fine if you insist you don't want to remarry. I'm just saying. There's no need to take it seriously since you were quite decisive in getting a divorce back then." She couldn't help but recall the scene when Hackett asked for a divorce. Her heart still couldn't help but ache.

The man grabbed the back of her neck and kissed her lips forcefully. Valeria's eyes widened.

This dog shit must be crazy. He even had a sleeping son in his arms!

She struggled to push the man away. "Are you crazy? Our son is still here!"

"Valeria, get ready. I'm determined to get this marriage back. You can't go back on your word. Otherwise, I'll bring you to the city hall even if I have to kidnap you." Hackett stared straight into her eyes. The smile on his lips was so intense.

Valeria was stunned for a moment before she laughed out loud. "Let's wait and see. Don't disappoint me. It's best if you get it done fast. I don't want those sinister people to grab a big chunk of the sweet pie."

"I have countless ways to deal with him, but that old crafty man, Clayton, has to agree in advance. Your father trusts that trash very much now."

Valeria was at a loss for words.

Valeria could not deny that. Clayton now had a whole new level of respect for Kaden. He was so convinced that Kaden was destined to be his son-in-law.

After Elsie returned to the bedroom from a shower, she saw Kaden lying lazily on the bed and playing with his phone.

She paused for a moment and then wiped her hair dry. She sat at the dressing table and looked at herself in the mirror. Her lifeless face did not look like a bride at all.

Kaden looked at her back. "It's our wedding night. Come over quickly. We're officially married now, and everyone knows

about it."

She didn't move at all. Now, she didn't want to get close to Kader at all. The very sight of him made her feel nauseous. Seeing that she sat in place, Kaden was furious. He sat up and yelled, "Do you want me to come over to help you? Come now!"

Elsie then got up and returned to the bed. She pulled up the blanket and wanted to sleep.

Unexpectedly, the man went on top of her and kissed her cheek. "From now on, what's yours is mine. I'll help you get whatever you can't get. The Maddox family has such a major family business, but you only know how to eat, drink, and have fun all day long. Tsk, tsk. From tomorrow onward, tell your father that you're going to work in the company and want me to work with you."

Elsie's eyes widened. Elsie thought, "Is Kaden trying to gain a foothold in the company and fight for my family assets?"

She had never thought that Kaden would be so ambitious. It was so ambitious that it shattered her worldview.

"You have a job. Why do you want to join our family's company Elsie asked.

"My annual salary isn't much. Is your established company afraid of feeding an idler like me? Besides, this company will be yours sooner or later. Just treat it as getting used to it in advance. The man's wild ambition was undoubtedly laid bare.
