Marriage Resumption (Valeria and Hackett)

"Is that so? How do you explain this DNA test then?" Simon was very sure of the credibility of the DNA report. He had complete trust in Dr. Al. "Well, I can also show you the DNA test for the child and Hacket

Simon interrupted, "I don't trust those people you hired. I only ust my people."

Valeria did not know what to say. Simon was too stubborn. No one could make him change his mind..

"Don't you want to continue to state your case? Are you at a loss for words now?"

To Simon, Valeria's silence meant she could not defend herself any further. By not saying anything, she had admitted that Simon was right.

"Indeed, I have nothing more to say. You simply refused to listen. Let's wait for Hackett to come back. He can explain everything to you."

In the beginning, Valeria wanted to settle the matter herself. She did not want to bother Hackett. However, she felt helpless at that moment. She could only wait for Hackett to return to deal with Simon.

Turning around, Valeria was about to leave.

Simon spoke up again, "Wait a minute."Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

""What do you want?"

"Are you going to leave like this?"

Valeria wanted to cry out loud in exasperation. She exclaimed, "What are you trying to do? Are you trying to keep me here? Are you men only capable of this? You don't even know which woman slept with you. What right do you have to order me around? Given the Lawrence family's social standing, how can you allow a woman to sleep with you and bear you a child unknowingly? Isn't it a little too late to look for her now?"

Simon immediately tossed an envelope at her. Stunned, Valeria picked it up.

When she opened the envelope and saw the contents inside, her eyes widened in shock.

The folder contained photos of her taken during the four years she was in Emmerick. They looked like they were being taken secretly. She wondered, "Who could have taken them without me knowing?"

There were many pictures of her pushing a pram to the supermarket. Alex was still a baby in those photos. He looked extremely adorable in them.

"Where did you get these pictures?"

Simon smiled. "I've been secretly observing you for the past four years. I was wondering when you would come to me with this child, but you never appeared. Instead, you brought the child to Creyque. I don't know what you are trying to do." Valeria was momentarily stunned. So Simon had been keeping tabs on him for the past four years in Emmerick.

"So, you've had your men spying on me those four years?"

Simon said in a low voice, "I found out about you long ago. I also knew about your pregnancy, but I wanted you to come to me on your own. I didn't expect you to stay so composed. Since you didn't look me up, I can only hunt you down. I won't allow the descendants of the Lawrence family to be left without proper care and guidance. I must take the child back."

"But he isn't your child. Why do you want him for? Do you like to raise other people's children?"

Valeria thought she was almost second-guessing herself. Simon had been trying to brainwash her into believing that what he had investigated was true.

"The DNA is proof that the child is mine. Why do you refuse to admit it? I don't care which man you want to be with. I just want to take the child away. I'm not interested in you." 'Dream on. I won't give you a child. This is not your child. I'll repeat it to you again! He's not your child!*

Valeria then turned around and left.

Rage flowed through her like lava. Her anger was like a simmering volcano on the verge of eruption. No matter how much she explained. Lawrence refused to listen. How could she not know who the father of her child was? Hackett was the only man she had been intimate with. She could not possibly bear a child for another man. The results of the DNA test Simon was bizarre.

Valeria figured the test must be fake. However, she did not understand why Simon would want to show her such a report.

The minute Valeria walked out of Mystic Lake Villa, she bumped into a familiar face.

Valeria slowed down her pace and looked at the person standing in front of her. "What are you doing here?"

want to ask you the same question. Ms. Sharp, what are you doing here?"

Kaden had followed Valeria to Mystic Lake Villa because he wanted to see what Valeria was up to. Sure enough, he discovered some secret about her.

"Do I need to report to you what I'm doing? Have you hooked up with some rich man's daughter here?" Valeria asked sarcastically.

Kaden glanced at the villa behind Valeria. No ordinary person would be able to live in such a grand place.

"Ms. Sharp, Mr. James only left for a few days. Are you feeling lonely already? Have you found yourself another man? I'm not like you. I only love Elsie. I won't lay my eyes on another woman now that I have her." "Watch your words. Don't compare me to a scum like you. You know very well what you've done."

Without bothering to take another look at Kaden, Valeria turned to leave the villa. She did not want to waste her time on such a person.

Suddenly, Kaden grabbed her wrist. He wanted to know if the owner of the villa would appear when he saw that Valeria was in distress.

"What are you doing? Let go of me! Are you crazy?"

Valeria struggled to pull her hand back, but Kaden's grip tightened. He stared at Valeria. "I want to know who the owner of this villa is. Who is this man you're seeing behind Hackett's back?"

"How dare you!" Valeria raised her hand to slap Kaden, but he used his free hand to block her.

Both of them refused to budge. Kaden was bent on forcing the owner of the villa to show himself.

After a long while, still, no one came out of the villa. Kaden mocked, "Looks like the person from this villa doesn't regard you very highly. He's not coming out to save you despite the state you're in..."

Before Kaden could finish speaking, a low voice was heard. "Take your hands off her."

Valeria and Kaden turned around at the same time. The man's stature was imposing. When he uttered those ordinary words, his voice carried an inexplicable weight, a resonance that seemed to echo from the depths of eternity. Kaden instinctively released Valeria's hand. He looked at the man standing in front of him.

"Scram." Casting a look at Kaden, Simon only had one word to say to him. He then looked at Valeria. "I'll get the driver to send you back. Think about what I said just now. Otherwise, I'll do whatever it takes to take back what belongs to me." After saying that, Simon walked straight back into the villa.

Simon's bodyguard stepped forward and said to Valeria, "Ms. Sharp, I'll send you home. Please come with me."

Valeria frowned. Nevertheless, she followed after the bodyguard

Kaden was left standing outside the villa by himself. He thought hard about what the man just said.

He wondered what Simon meant by taking back what belonged to him.

What did Valeria have that belonged to that man?
