Chapter 124
Cheryl fell onto the bed. Her face was as pale as paper, and his tears slowly streamed down his face.
She saw it, and she heard the recording of the phone call….
So now, she wished he could crush her to death…
Cheryl’s heart seemed to have fallen into a bottomless abyss. She could no longer hear the doctors and nurses advising her not to cry. Otherwise, her wound would be infected and inflamed.
There was a rumble, and a flash of lightning outside the window made a violent thunderclap. The sky was dark with clouds, and it looked like it was going to rain.
Cheryl trembled slightly. She looked sideways at the gloomy sky outside the window, just like her current mood.
Now, even with her brother being around, Hackett probably would not believe her anymore, let alone
argue with her.
In the law office.
Valeria had just arrived at the law office when it started raining heavily.
“Why did it rain suddenly,

Valeria mumbled as she walked out of the elevator and looked at the raindrops outside the
Unexpectedly, Keith’s voice suddenly came from behind. “Maybe it’s celebrating the success of my proposal. It’s so touched that it’s crying.”
Valeria was shocked. She turned around and heaved a sigh of relief when she saw that it was Keith. “Don’t you make a sound when you walk?” she said.
“You’re too focused.” Keith handed her a cup of freshly bought latte.
Valeria took the coffee and said, “Thank you.”
“You don’t have to be so polite to your future husband.” Keith’s tone was highly ambiguous as if the two of them were already married.
For some reason, the more he acted like this, the more Valeria was not used to it. She even wanted to escape from him.
Seeing that she did not speak, Keith thought that she was shy. He smiled and said, “Let’s pick Alex up from school in the afternoon and bring him for a meal. I haven’t seen him for a long time. I miss him a little. We can discuss the wedding.”
“What? A wedding?”
Valeria could not help but scream. Realizing that her voice was too loud, she covered her mouth.
Seeing how adorable she looked, Keith laughed out loud. “Is there a need to be so surprised? In the past, you hid the fact that you were married and didn’t even have a proper wedding. This time, I have to hold a grand ceremony so that you can feel the joy of being a bride.”
Speaking of which, Valeria felt quite sad.
At that time, she looked forward to Hackett holding a wedding ceremony for her. Even if it was very simple, she would be very satisfied. She just wanted to experience the happiness of holding a wedding with Hackett.
Unfortunately, Hackett kept delaying it and finding excuses. When she was pregnant, he threw her a divorce agreement.

“But it’s too soon to discuss the wedding. Do your parents know? Do they approve?”

Valeria always felt that Keith’s parents would not agree to this marriage. Keith was outstanding, tall, and handsome. Why should he have to marry a woman who had been divorced and had a child?
Keith held her hand and said, “Don’t worry. I’ll take care of that. After we discuss the wedding, I’ll bring you to meet them. They’ll like you and Alex.”
Valeria could not say anything else and could only smile faintly.
However, she felt suffocated and had an indescribable feeling.
At this moment, a few more thunderclaps sounded. Valeria could not help but look out of the window.
She felt that this rumbling thunder sounded like a warning to her to be cautious about getting married in a flash…
Was she thinking too much?
For the rest of the day, Keith and Valeria were busy with their own work. The rain did not stop for the entire day. After work, Keith followed her to the kindergarten to pick up the baby. He originally planned to bring the child to the amusement park after dinner, but the rain was so heavy that he could only send Valeria and Alex home.
“I’ll send you home. Leave your car here and come back to get it tomorrow,” Keith suggested. It was raining so heavily that he was worried about letting Valeria drive home.
However, Valeria insisted on driving herself. “I can drive home. This is the new car I just mentioned. I’ve been driving it for almost two months. I’m worried about leaving it here. It’s fine. I’ll drive slower.”
At this moment, Keith’s phone rang.
Keith picked up the phone. He did not know what was happening on the other end of the line, but his expression was a little ugly.
Valeria said, “It’s fine. Go do your thing. I’ll drive back myself. Besides, the rain has eased up for the past half day. Look.” Keith looked up at the night sky. The rain was indeed much lighter.
Keith glanced at the call from Sherri on his phone and then looked at Valeria and Alex in front of him. He said helplessly, “Then drive carefully. Alex, remind your mom to drive slowly. Call me when you get home, okay?”
“Okay.” Alex nodded obediently.
“Alright, stop nagging. We’ll leave first. I’m worried that the rain will get heavy again.”
Valeria picked up the baby and placed him in the safety seat in the back seat of the car. Then, she sat in the driver’s seat and lowered the window to greet Keith. Then, she slowly drove away!
Keith’s phone rang again.
Keith sighed and picked up the phone. “Sherri, it’s really impossible between us. I’ve already proposed to Valeria, and I’ve succeeded.”

Keith had no choice but to meet Sherri.
Valeria drove her child back to Starry Bay.
“This is so annoying. Why is it raining again? And it’s so heavy… Valeria could not help but mutter.
She drove into the garden and was shocked by what she saw.

Valeria saw a man kneeling in the rain. He was drenched from head to toe. Ella stood at the side holding an umbrella but did not dare to go forward.
