Marriage Resumption (Valeria and Hackett)

After doing all this, Kaden leaned back and even lit a cigarette, starting to exhale smoke rings.

In front of Elsie, Kaden had never dared to smoke, wanting to nintain the imag

of a gentleman.

Clearly, Kaden's acting skills were pretty good. Elsie had always perceived him as a gentleman. If it weren't for Hackett's arrival, Elsie might have remained infatuated with him. Unfortunately, Elsie had developed feelings for Hackett now.

However, it didn't matter. Kaden was determined to become the son-in-law of the Maddox family, so Elsie could only be his wife.

Suddenly, there was a chime, and the doorbell rang.

Elsie was here!

Kaden instantly became alert, extinguishing his cigarette in the ashtray and using a remote control to close the curtains. He then walked to the foyer.

The doorbell continued incessantly, indicating Elsie's impatience.

He glanced at the switch on the wall, turning off all the lights in the room. Now, it was pitch black everywhere, impossible to see a thing.

Then, Kaden slowly opened the door, concealing himself behind it.

The moment the door opened, Elsie found it strange. What was going on? Why weren't the lights on? It was pitch dark inside!

"Hackett, what are you up to? Why did you send me such a message? And why aren't the lights on? You..."

Elsie's words were cut short as a man's arm suddenly pulled her into the room, and the man swiftly closed the door.

"Wait! Ah! Help! What are you doing?"

Elsie's body was pressed against the door, and she could distinctly feel the man getting closer. She was very nervous. But the thought that it was Hackett made Elsie blush, even though her face couldn't be seen in the darkness. "Stop here! No! What are you doing?" Her voice quivered as she said.

The next moment, Kaden immediately lowered his head and passionately kissed her.

"Mmm... What are you doing?" Elsie wanted to resist, but the thought that this man was Hackett made her unconsciously respond.

At this time, her mind went blank. Was Hackett kissing her like this?

Oh my god...

This sensation was both sweet and thrilling.

However, Elsie didn't know that in the darkness, it was Kaden passionately kissing her, the same Kaden she had once loved with all her heart.

"No... Why... Why are you doing this to me?" Elsie felt both embarrassed and shy, not daring to look at the man even in the

darkness

Kaden's voice was husky as he replied, "Don't you want it?"

Kaden finished speaking and kissed Elsic's lips again. Elsie couldn't help but feel that the voice sounded a bit strange. Was Hackett's voice like this? But very soon, Elsie lost her rationality and completely gave in.

The reason Kaden dared to do this was that Hackett was attending a party in the same hotel tonight.

At the same time.

Hackett was mingling with various socialites. He hadn't originally planned to come tonight, but someone mentioned that Valeria would be here.

So Hackett decided to join in the fun, but he hadn't seen Valeria anywhere from start to finish, which was quite disappointing.

Hackett, now alone on the terrace, tried calling Valeria several times but received no answer.

He gave up and decided to leave the party. It was better than being bored here.

And he hadn't had a good night's sleep in a while. He had been too busy to eat properly.

Hence, Hackett drove straight back to Starry Bay. He planned to have a good sleep and go to the Maddox family to see his son and Valeria tomorrow.

It had only been a few days since they parted, but he was already missing Valeria and Alex so much that he couldn't sleep.

The next day, early morning.

In Room 5022 of Cloudan Hotel, Kaden had long since disappeared, leaving only a sleepy Elsie in bed.

Until a series of doorbell rings woke her from her slumber.

Elsie rubbed her eyes and slowly sat up, realizing she was in a hotel room with the doorbell ringing outside.

She couldn't even spare a moment to recall what had happened the previous night. She quickly got up and went to the door, carefully hiding herself behind it. After she opened the door, a waiter was standing there with breakfast and a smile. "Good morning, this is breakfast reserved by Mr. James for you." Mr. James?

"Alright, stop here. You don't need to come in. Just leave the breakfast cart here."

At this time, Elsie was in disarray, not wanting to be seen in her current state!

Hearing it, the waiter said, "You can call the front desk to pick up the cart after you've had

your

meal."

"Understood, please go now." Elsie closed the door as soon as she could.

Elsie looked at the breakfast cart in front of her and remembered what the waiter had said about Mr. James...

Mr. James?

Wasn't that Hackett?

So, it was really Hackett who had been with her last night!

Elsie felt both sweet and somewhat aggrieved. Why had he disappeared so early in the morning? Did he run away?

At the same time, in the hallway just around the comer, Kaden landed a stack of cash to the waiter. "Did you say exactly what I taught you

After taking the money, the waiter said, "Don't worry. I delivered your message word for word"

"That's good. Remember that you're not allowed to tell anyone about this, or you'll have big problems. Kaden put on a mysterious act.

The waiter, who had been in this line of work for a long time, knew the rules well and nodded. "Don't worry. I understand."

At the Maddox family's residence.

Early in the morning, the entire Maddox family was engulfed in chaos.

Because she had been busy late into the night, Valeria had slept in a bit. When she woke up and checked the time, she had initially considered going back to sleep for a while, but she heard a commotion coming from downstairs. What was going on?

Valefia got up, put on a robe, went to the bathroom for a quick freshen-up, changed into loungewear, and left her room.

As soon as she stepped out, the noise became even more apparent.

But Valeria still couldn't make out what they were arguing about. It sounded like Clayton and Elsie were quarreling, while Loretta was trying to mediate.

"Why doesn't anyone believe what I'm saying? Am I just a liar?" Elsie shouted at her parents, her face full of grievances. Valeria listened as she walked downstairs, but she still couldn't understand what they were fighting about. Clayton had a stern expression and scolded, "Shut up! Stop talking! Don't let your sister hear this! What kind of behavior is this? Besides, Hackett doesn't seem like the person you're describing. He wouldn't act so recklessly!" "Dad! What do you mean? Am I the one who acts recklessly?"

At this point, Valeria had arrived behind them and couldn't help but ask, "What's going on with Hackett?"

Upon hearing her voice, the three of them immediately changed their expressions.

Clayton didn't know how to start, Loretta looked uneasy and was at a loss for words, while Elsie appeared triumphant, turned around, and stared into Valeria's eyes, saying, "Last night, your ex-husband, Hackett, slept with me. That's it." Valeria was shocked, her eyes widened, and she froze in place.
