Marriage Resumption (Valeria and Hackett) novel Chapter 161

Chapter 161 

After taking a shower, Valeria sat in front of the dressing table and applied skincare products. Then, she lay on the bed and prepared to sleep. 

However, she was not sleepy at all. Her mind was filled with the scene she saw Hackett chatting with that hot lady at the banquet today. 

He should have changed his target. After all, he had already rejected her so thoroughly. 

Were all men so fickle? 

It should be that Hackett was the one being fickle. He had abandoned her like this back then. 

She fell asleep thinking about it and had a very, very long dream. In the dream, it was actually Hackett’s wedding. 

Valeria never expected her to attend Hackett’s wedding. It was indescribably luxurious. 

In the dream, she stood at the wedding venue and saw Hackett wearing a black groom’s gown. He was standing in front of the church priest, waiting for the bride to walk toward him. 

The smile on his lips was so doting, and the bride was a woman she had never seen before. She couldn’t see what she looked like, but she could feel her nobility and elegance. She was so beautiful that it was suffocating. Wearing a white wedding dress, she walked toward Hackett step by step. 

The pastor started the ceremony and asked about the wedding vows. When Hackett replied, “I do.” 

Valeria suddenly shouted, “I don’t agree!” 

Then, she woke up with a start from her dream. 

She suddenly sat up and panted. When she saw the room in front of her, she realized that she was dreaming. 

A thin layer of sweat appeared on Valeria’s forehead. She heaved a sigh of relief and flipped her hair. She was about to lie back down and sleep for a while when she realized that Alex was looking at her while holding the milk bottle. 

“Mommy, did you have a nightmare?” 

Nightmare? 

Hackett got married. Was that a nightmare for her? Wasn’t this what she had dreamed of? This way, he wouldn’t pester her. 

Hackett would not pester her anymore. 

Valeria smiled. “No, why are you up so early? Where’s Ella?” 

Alex replied, “Ella is making breakfast. Mommy, you’re late today? You woke up even later than me.” 

Valeria picked up her phone and looked at the time. It was actually past eight o’clock! 

Usually, she would wake up at seven o’clock. What was wrong with her today? She had such a strange dream and was late! 

Valeria widened her eyes in surprise and lifted the blanket on her body. “It’s too late. I’ll get Ella to send you to kindergarten today. Mommy is late for work.” 

She rushed to the bathroom to wash up and change her clothes before rushing to law office. 

There were still a few meetings that had to be held today, and Keith was personally hosting them. If she did not arrive on

time, Keith would definitely not punish her. There would be gossip again.

Alex looked at his mommy’s busy figure and said in a childish voice, “Mommy, the teacher said that we have to go camping this weekend and need our parents to accompany us… Are you going with me alone? Can Hackett join us?” 

Valeria’s head suddenly popped out of the bathroom. “Why do you want Hackett to join?” 

In the past, it was always Keith. She did not know when it started, but this little guy started to mention Hackett frequently. 

“Well… because Hackett is better, and he promised to take me to Stellar Park, so I want to take him on an outing.” 

This childish reason was from a three–year–old child. 

Valeria thought for a moment and said, “It’s better if Mommy goes with you. Hackett is busy with work. It’s not suitable for us to keep troubling others.” 

Alex pouted. “Alright… Mommy can accompany me, but the teacher said that you have to start fire and cook when you go camping. Mommy, do you have any camping experience?” 

Valeria did not have any. She had never camped before. She didn’t even know how to set up a tent. 

Forget it! She did not need to think too much about it. She would think about it when the time comes. She could ask other parents for help. 

Then, she headed to the law office. 

After rushing for a while, they still managed to make it to the morning meeting. 

After the morning meeting ended, Valeria prepared to return to his office and meet a client in the afternoon to discuss the 

case. 

Keith walked towards her. “Didn’t you sleep well last night? Why do you feel a little dark circles under your eyes? You’re also distracted during the meeting.” 

She smiled a little awkwardly. “Maybe. I had a bad dream last night, so I didn’t sleep well.” 

Hence, she couldn’t help but think of her dream of Hackett’s wedding. Her heart ached and she felt very upset. 

“What are you thinking about?” Keith could tell that she had something on her mind. 

Valeria came back to his senses and quickly changed the topic. “Nothing. By the way, do you have any camping experience? Or can you teach me how to survive in the wild?” 

“Why? Are you going camping in the wild?” 

“It’s Alex kindergarten going camping. I’ll accompany him. We might have to set up a tent or something.” 

Keith actually wanted to say that he could go with her if she needed him, but Valeria would probably refuse. 

He could only say, “I know an outdoor camping expert. I can introduce you and let him teach you how to pitch a tent.” “Sure, thank you.” This was much more useful than searching for videos online. 

“It’s okay.” 

Then, the two of them fell into awkwardness again. There did not seem to be anything else to say to each other. 

At the end of the corridor, it was time for the two of them to separate and return to their respective offices.
