Marriage Resumption (Valeria and Hackett) novel Chapter 376

Chapter 376 

The next few days were relatively peaceful. There was nothing out of the ordinary. Since Tyler was always following Valeria, Valeria decided not to go out. 

Tyler was bored staying at Maddox’s villa all the time, so Valeria arranged for Tyler to protect Alex in kindergarten. 

Hence, Valeria finally had some breathing space. She went for a walk in the garden and breathed in the faint fragrance of the flowers to clear her mind. 

Suddenly, her phone rang. 

It was an international call, but it was from Hackett. A smile finally appeared on her dainty face as she picked up the phone. “Are you done with work? You finally remember to call me.” 

“Yes, I have endless meetings. It’s nighttime over there, right? Is Alex asleep? Let me talk to him.” 

Valeria snorted and fiddled with the flower petal in front of her with her other hand. “No, but Tyler is accompanying him in excavating. I don’t know why he likes to play with his excavator. My father bought him a mini excavator, and he’s destroying his grandpa’s garden now.” 

The man’s low laugh came through the phone. “Then forget it. I won’t disturb him. He’s as mischievous as I was when I was young.” 

“So you were also this naughty when you were young? I only remember your grandfather said that you were very naughty when you were young.” Valeria sighed at the thought of Barron James. She did not expect it had been a few months since the old man’s death. 

At the mention of Barron, the man on the phone stayed silent for a long time as if she could imagine his expression as he reminisced. 

Valeria tried to break the awkward silence. “By the way, when are you coming back?” 

“Two more days. Why? Do you miss me?” 

“How is that possible? It’s your son who misses you.” She would never admit that she missed Hackett. Absolutely not. 

The man on the phone laughed happily. “Then wait for me at home obediently. I’ll be home the night after tomorrow.” 

“Okay.” 

At this moment, Hackett seemed to have another call. He had no choice but to hang up the call with her. “Sorry, I have to take this call.” 

“Okay, go ahead.” 

After hanging up, Valeria could not help but laugh. Then, she looked at Alex driving a mini excavator and Tyler guarding beside him like a knight. She shook her head helplessly. 

She was feeling sleepy. She yawned and planned to go back to her room to sleep. 

When Alex was done playing, Tyler would naturally carry him back to sleep. 

Valeria was about to go back when her phone rang again. She thought it was from Hackett again. But on closer look, it was that international call. 

She stared at her ringing phone and searched her mind for the big shots she knew in Emmerick. None of them seemed to have anything to do with her.

Chapter 376 

The phone kept ringing. After struggling internally for a while, Valeria picked up the call. “Hello.”

“Ms. Sharp, we’ve arrived at Alcomara. My boss has already settled down. He wants to see you. Do you want to come over, or should we pick you up?” 

“How are you so sure that I want to meet your boss? Besides, can you tell me who your boss is now?” Valeria wanted to know who this so–called boss was. 

This time, the man on the phone did not hide anything and answered directly, “Our boss’s surname is Lawrence. Do you remember?” 

Lawrence? 

Was it the Lawrence family she knew about when she was overseas? She had never interacted with anyone from that family. How did they find her here? 

When she was overseas, she wanted to assume responsibility for overseeing the legal affairs of the Lawrence family, but unfortunately, they looked down on a newbie like her. 

What did they want with her now? 

Could it be that he wanted to work with her? But her main operation was in Creyque. What was the point of asking her now? 

Valeria’s mind was filled with questions, but she calmed down and asked, “Excuse me, is it Mr. Lawrence from the Lawrence family? The new heir?” 

She vaguely remembered that this new heir had a strange temper. The outside world only knew that he was extremely young, but they had never seen him in person. There were no photos of him on the Internet. His identity was well protected. 

“Yes, it’s him.” 

She thought, “Seriously?” 

“Why does he want to see me? I’m sure Mr. Lawrence and I are strangers. Why did he suddenly think of coming all the way here to see me?” Valeria could not figure it out. She did not even know what this Lawrence looked like. 

But this person, Mr. Lawrence, had traveled such a long journey to Creyque to see her. 

The man on the phone repeated the same statement, like a robot. “You’ll know when you’re here. The address is Cloudan Hotel. My boss is eating in the restaurant at the moment. He said he’ll wait for you for half an hour.” 

With that, he hung up the phone, not giving Valeria any chance to reply. 

Valeria looked at the phone screen after the call was disconnected. She thought about it for a long time but could not think of any connection between her and Mr. Lawrence. 

However, they had successfully piqued her curiosity, so she decided to go and take a look. 

In the restaurant of Cloudan Hotel, a man in a black shirt and tailored pants was eating alone at a dining table. His mixed- race features exuded an air of exquisite handsomeness, and his appearance carried an exotic touch. 

He used his knife and fork to slowly cut the steak on the plate, waiting for Valeria to show up. 

He was pretty curious about what Valeria looked like. He could take revenge while he was at it. Then, he would take back the child that belonged to him. He could not let the descendants of the Lawrence family wander outside. 

The bodyguard beside him said solemnly, “Sir, Ms. Sharp will be here soon.”
