Marriage Resumption (Valeria and Hackett)

They woke up early the next morning.Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.

Clayton and Loretta were eating breakfast in the dining room.

Kaden wrapped his hand around Elsie's waist, pretending to be affectionate toward her.

"Your mother and I are happy to see how loving both of you are Clayton beamed.

Elsie felt very miserable. However, she could only put on an act on account of that video. Kaden pinched her waist under the table, reminding her to broach the subject.

Elsie almost cried out in pain, but she forced herself to speak to Clayton. "Dad, Kaden has been very busy at work lately, and I don't get to see him much. Why don't you let him work in our company? Then I can see him any time...

Valeria suddenly interrupted her, "He's only a teacher. What can be do in the company? Is he going to set up a class and teach us something?"

Kaden frowned, annoyed that Valeria was causing trouble for him again. He decided he had enough of her nonsense.

Valeria was holding a needle. No one knew what she was trying to do.

Loretta was the first to notice the needle in Valeria's hand. "Valeria, what are you doing with the needle? Is there anything you need to stitch up?"

Valeria sat beside Kaden and smiled. "Nothing. I picked this up on the floor. I was wondering who was so careless to drop the needle on the floor. What if Alex picks it up and pricks his hand?"

"What?" Clayton frowned.

When Elsie saw the needle, she instinctively curled her fingers into a fist. The intense pain in her fingers felt like a searing, white-hot dagger of agony, relentlessly piercing through her every thought and emotion. Her mind was filled with the images of Kaden torturing her. Tears started streaming down her face.

"Elsie, what's wrong?" Loretta realized that something was not right with Elsie.

Suddenly, Valeria poked the needle into the back of Kaden's hand. He howled out in pain. "Ah!"

"What's going on?!" Clayton stood up.

Valeria looked at Kaden innocently. "Oh, I'm so sorry. Come to think about it. How can a man cry out so loudly when he's pricked by a mere needle? He's no better than a woman."

Clayton's expression darkened when he heard that. "Valeria, what's wrong with you? How can you be so rude?"

"Dad, I didn't do it on purpose. I'm sure Kaden won't hold it against me. Is that right?" She put on an annoying smile.

Enduring the pain, Kaden pulled the needle out of the back of his hand and returned her smile. "Of course not."

Elsie, who was sitting beside Kaden let out a smile. She knew very well Valeria was getting back at Kaden on Elsie's behalf.

"That's good to know. Kaden is a very forgiving person." She was provoking Kaden deliberately. Valeria despised him for abusing women. She wanted to teach him a lesson.

"I have a meeting to attend today, so I'll leave first. As for getting Kaden to work in the company, I don't think it's necessary. He has a respectable job as a teacher at a university. It's a noble profession to educate the students. He will find it boring to work in our company." 1/3

Clayton was also aware there was no suitable job for Kaden in the company.

After he left the dining room, Loretta also stood up. "Enjoy your meal. I'm meeting friends."

Since only three of them were left in the dining room, they dropped all pretense.

"What are you trying to do?"

Valeria folded her arms and looked at Kaden with disdain. "Nothing. I already told you I didn't do it on purpose. Don't tell me a man like you is so petty?"

"Looks like you're not afraid that I'll tell Hackett about your rendevous with a man last night."

"All my actions are aboveboard. I am not afraid of anything. Go ahead and tell him. You're asking for trouble if you say it. You can't afford to offend the man you saw last night."

Valeria decided that when Hackett returned, she would tell him everything Kaden had done. She wanted Hackett to chase him out of the Maddox family immediately. Kaden was stunned.

He wondered who that man was and how powerful he was. Valeria had warned that Kaden could not afford to offend him. "I'm warning you. If you hurt my sister again, I'll perform acupuncture on your entire body. Go ahead and give it a try if you don't believe me." Valeria was talking to Kaden in a very haughty tone, with total disregard for him.

Do you believe that I will..."

He wanted to threaten Valeris with the video but suddenly thought of something and kept quiet. If the Maddox family found out about the threat, Clayton would chase him out of the family,

"What are you going to do? Tell me?" Valeria was waiting for Kaden to mention the video.

Suppressing his anger, Kaden smiled. "Nothing"

He knew he would not gain anything by falling out with Valeria now. He stood up and pulled Elsie out of the dining room. When they were outside, Kaden glared hard at Elsie. "You're really smart. How dare you complain to Valeria? Do you think she can save you? Even if she can save you, do you think she can get her hands on my video?"

"It wasn't me! She discovered it herself. It really wasn't me!" Elsie's eyes were filled with panic and fear.

"Now you're scared. Trust me, I am capable of anything. You must believe that I will post the video." Elsie was the only person he could control now. She was his last pawil

That afternoon, Tyler was waiting outside the kindergarten. He had come to pick Alex up from school. After waiting for a long time, he finally saw the boy walking out of the school.

TII help you carry it. Tyler took Alex's bag from him.

Alex pouted. "Why are you picking me up from school again? Why isn't Daddy back yet? You're always lying to me..."

"He'll be back soon. Let's wait another two or three days," Tyler replied with a smile.

Just then, a car stopped in front of them. The driver opened the car door, and a tall and handsome man walked out of the Tyler and Alex instinctively looked over, drawn by the man's commanding presence.

Sun, Dec 1

They wondered who he was

88%)

They could tell from his appearance that he possessed an extraordinary aura, and he was not an ordinary man.

Tyler thought hard but could not recall seeing or knowing that than.

"How old are you?" Ignoring Tyler, Simon asked Alex directly.

Alex looked up at the stranger and retorted, "Why should I tell you my age?"

"Tyler, let's go home. I want to find my mommy." Alex held Tyler's hand and was about to leave.

Immediately, Tyler carried Alex and glanced at the man in front of him before walking toward the car.

Simon did not stop them. Instead, he turned to look at Alex who was in Tyler's arms. Alex was making faces at Simon. Simon let out a chuckle.

"Do we look alike?" he asked the bodyguard.

The bodyguard was momentarily stunned. He only took a brief look at Alex. It was not possible for him if he looked like

Simon.

"I think he looks more like his mother." The bodyguard did not find any resemblance between Alex and Simon. He figured it would be safer to say the child looked like his mother. Simon recalled the little face he had seen and nodded. "He does look like the child's mother. After all, she gave birth to him."
