Marriage Resumption (Valeria and Hackett)

"Why did you have lunch with Valeria... Why?"

Yumi's face was filled with disbelief. Could it be that Hackett was starting to believe what Valeria said? That was impossible.

The man took out a cigarette and held it between his lips. He lit with a lighter and exhaled a mouthful of smoke. He looked up at Yumi, who was in the reception area and said, "It's just a meal. Why?" "Did you happen to meet by chance?"

Yumi still had a trace of hope in her heart. Perhaps Valeria had bumped into him coincidentally on the way. Valeria kept pestering him, so they ate together. That must be it!

The man puffed out a cloud of smoke, blurring his handsome face. He slowly said, "No. We ate together."

Yumi's heart felt like it was being crushed by a rock. How could this be?

She forced a smile and walked to the desk. She looked at the man who was smoking. He did not seem to care if she liked the smell of smoke.

"Then, can you tell me why you ate with her?"

"Like I said, there's no reason. We just ate together."

What kind of explanation was this? He didn't even bother to explain and directly believed Valeria?Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

The smile on Yumi's face instantly disappeared. She stared into the man's dark eyes. "So, you've decided to believe what Valeria said. Even if the paternity test is in your hands, you don't care? As a man, you can even bear such humiliation?" Yumi had no idea what she had done wrong. Which man could stand such humiliation?

Moreover, she had found that paternity test in the James Manor How could it be fake? It was definitely a paternity test that Hackett had done himself before the car accident.

"My past and my lost memories, I've decided to investigate them myself. I'll only use what you've said as a reference."

After Hackett finished speaking, he stubbed out his cigarette in the ashtray. Then, he looked at the computer screen and said, "If there's nothing else, you can leave first. I have to work."

Leave? He was going to let her leave just like that?

What did she say? She had waited for more than an hour for Hackett to return to the office. Then, he wanted her to leave after saying a few words?

Yumi increasingly felt that the man was out of control. Moreover, this was before he regained his memories. If he really regained his memories, he would probably not even see her again.

She forcefully suppressed the grievance in her heart and smiled, "Hackett, I support you if you want to investigate, but aren't we supposed to go to the hospital for a checkup tomorrow? I promised the doctor that I would definitely bring you back for a checkup. That's why they agreed to let you be discharged. If you don't go for a checkup, they will blame me if anything happens." Hackett glanced at her. "I'll go for the checkup tomorrow."

"I'll go with you. If we go to the hospital, we'll have to queue for a long time. You know that there are so many people in the hospital every day. It's not good for us to cut the queue. We'll be reported. I asked that doctor to take a day off to check on you." Yumi tried her best to persuade the man to fall into her trap.

The man was getting impatient. Then, he replied, "Yes."

"Then I'll leave you to your work. I'll meet you at the manor tomorrow."

With that, Yumi turned around and left the office, not giving him a chance to refuse.

Hackett looked at the closed office door with a gloomy expression.

At this moment, the assistant knocked on the door and walked into the office. He handed over a document. "Mr. James, this document needs your signature."

After Hackett signed his name, he looked up at his assistant. "How's the investigation going?"

The assistant picked up the document and said, "I'm investigating, but I haven't found out a lot, so I plan to report to you when I find concrete evidence." "Tell me what you find out first."

It was because he couldn't wait to know what his relationship with Yumi was.

The assistant said, "I investigated people related to Ms. Rogers and realized that Ms. Rogers seemed to have disappeared into thin air in the past few years. No one knew her past, and it was even more impossible to investigate her brother, Harry Rogers. Therefore, I went to investigate Ms. Rogers's university classmates. Coincidentally, she had a university classmate who worked in our company. Though this person was not very familiar with her in school, she had heard about what Ms. Rogers did back then." Get to the point!" The man frowned, too lazy to listen to this nonsense.

The assistant could only skip the process and say directly, "The person said that there were rumors of Ms. Rogers pursuing a man crazily back then. Moreover, that man came from a wealthy family and had always looked down on Ms. Rogers. In the end, Ms. Rogers lost her mind and was sent to a sanatorium for many years. She doesn't know what happened after that."

After Hackett heard this, his face was filled with disbelief.

Yumi was actually sent to a mental hospital?

Was he being brainwashed by a mental patient? Could it be that the man Yumi had been pursuing after all those years was himself?

The more he thought about it, the more he felt an inexplicable sense of disdain.

The next morning arrived.

After Hackett got out of bed, he changed his clothes and finished his breakfast. Just as he was about to go out, Ernest reported, "Mr. James, Ms. Rogers is here. She said that you had agreed with her yesterday that you would go to the doctor for a checkup today." The man replied, "Let her in. Also, prepare the car."

"Yes."

After Ernest left, Hackett took a few sips of milk from the glass and wiped his mouth with a napkin.

Although Yumi had lied, the first person he saw when he woke up from the car accident was Yumi. The people in the hospital also confirmed that Yumi had been guarding him by the bed for a long time.

There was no need for him to kill this woman, He would go for another checkup today and not give Yumi another chance to get close to him.

It was because he was not interested in Yumi to begin with. When Yumi said that she was his woman, he was still conflicted. Now, he felt relaxed. "Hackett, are you ready? We should go."

Yumi walked over with a smile and happened to see the man walking out of the dining room.

"Let's go."

"Yeah."

Yumi followed behind the man and looked at his aloof back. Her heart was bleeding. She had kept vigil by his bed for so long and thought that she was about to move this man. However Valeria had returned at this time and ruined her plans. "Then you can't blame me for making the first move. I didn't want to," she thought.

Yumi watched as the man walked towards the car. Then, she took out her phone and sent a message. [Is everything ready?]

Soon, she received a reply. [OK!]

Her lips curled into a smile before she got into the car as well.
