Chapter 176 

Valeria glared at him, held back her anger, and put some food on his plate again. 

Hackett looked at her angry expression, and his lips curled into satisfied smile. 

After dinner, Ella went to the kitchen to clean up, leaving Valeriand Hackett in the living room. 

The television played the animated series that Alex loved the most. 

Hackett glanced at his watch and noticed that it was getting late. Which room will I stay tonight?” he asked. 

“You are going to sleep on the sofa. Your sofa looks very comfortable,” Valeria smiled and answered. 

Hackett was left speechless. 

Sleeping on the sofa…. 

“Alright, this woman has no heart,” he thought. 

Hackett was very upset about her response, and his jawline tightened as he stared at Valeria’s perfect side profile. “I want to take a bath. Help me.” 

With that, he got up and walked towards her room.

Valeria’s smile froze on his face, and she was stunned for a kidding me?” 

“What’s there to be shy about? It’s not like you haven’t seen my body before. We have a son! Helping me take a bath won’t kill you, alright? Come on! Move!” 

Hackett pushed open her bedroom door and walked in. 

After helplessly watching the man walk into her bedroom, Valeria subconsciously stood up and shouted, “Hey! Why are you walking into my room? If you want to take a bath, there is a bathroom in the guest room! Stop moving!” 

Ella, who was in the kitchen, stuck her head out of the door when she heard Valeria’s shouting, “Valeria, what is going on? Are you talking to me?” 

“It’s fine, I am talking to that man. Don’t worry. Valeria waved her hand and hurriedly walked into her bedroom. 

“This damn bastard seriously just can’t let me have a break. His feet are injured, but he could still make this scene to torture met she thought. 

Valeria entered her bedroom. The first thing she saw was a man taking off his clothes, showing his muscular chest and abs. She turned around reflexively and even covered her eyes, just like when she first saw Hackett back in the day.

Seeing her reaction, he couldn’t help but chuckle. “Are you serious? It’s not like we haven’t slept with each other before.” Valeria was furious and turned around. “You are such a shameless bastard! Do you know that your Halfway through her sentence, she saw Hackett unbuckling the belt around his waist. His posture was seductive. 

“What are you doing? Are you really planning to take a shower in my bathroom? Are you a pervert or what? Have you forgotten that we’re divorced? I do not need to take care of you anymore!” She was on the edge and could not understand what this bastard wanted.

Chapter 176 

Without caring about Valeri’s curses, Hackett had already taken off his clothes and walked towards the bathroom. He turned around and looked at her, “Come and help me in the bathroom. You do not need to take care of me, but I’m injured because of you, so I have the right to ask you to help me with the shower 

Valeria pointed at herself. “Me? Have you lost your mind? Hackett James, get out of my bathroom right now! I definitely won’t help you in the bathroom!” 

She walked to the bathroom door and shouted at Hackett. Unexpectedly, a long arm suddenly reached out from the door and pulled her into the bathroom. 

Immediately after, Valeria’s scream came from the bathroom. Ella rushed over from outside the bedroom and asked worriedly. “Valeria, are you alright? What happened?” 

After a few seconds, Valeria’s calm voice came from the bedroom. “It’s all good. Have a good night, Ella. 

Ella looked at the closed bedroom door with a puzzled expression. Since Valeria had already said that she was fine, she should not ask further but only turn around and leave. 

However, the actual situation in the bathroom was like this… 

Valeria stood in the bathroom and looked at the man standing naked in front of her without any 

“Hackett James, what the hell do you want? Are you crazy?”

Valeria gritted her teeth and asked. She deliberately avoided looking at the man’s abdomen, but she could clearly feel her checks burning and her heart racing. 

The man gestured toward the tub with his raised chin. “Fill the tub for me. I want to take a bath.” 

“Can’t you take a shower? Why are you so troublesome?” Valeria accidentally glanced at his waist and quickly turned her head away. 

Hackett, observing her with an increasingly intense smile on his lips, remarked, “My foot is injured, and taking a shower might get the wound wet. Hurry and release the water. 

“Endure, endure, endure! she thought. 

Valeria told herself that Hackett was a patient now, so she had to endure him.

The two of them seemed as natural as a couple in the bathroom at home. 

Valeria felt that the atmosphere was a bit strange… 

After a while, the bathtub was filled with water, and the temperature of the water was just right. 

Alright, enjoy your bath. I’m going out.” 

Valeria turned around and was about to walk out of the bedroom, for she could not stay any longer. 

Out of her expectations, she had only taken a few steps when the man pulled her back again. “Is this how you treat your savior? I asked you to help me in the bathroom. How am I supposed to clean myself now that I’m injured?” 

Valeria couldn’t believe what she had just heard. 

She could not be

Chapter 176 

How come, in her memory, the snake had bitten Hackett’s ankle but not his hand? Why couldn’t he take a bath by himself? 

“Hackett James, you’re doing this on purpose, right? You only injured your feet, not your entire body. Why can’t you take a bath yourself?” 

“It’s not easy. Help me lie in the bathtub and clean my body.” 

Valeria stared at the mah with a cold face. “You have gone too far I’ve tolerated you for a long time!” 

“I have gone too far? Then what about you?” 

Hackett turned around, walked into the bathtub to lie down, placed his injured foot on the edge of the bathtub, and took a bath in a comfortable posture.

“What do you mean? How come you think I’ve gone too far?” She had no idea what she had done wrong. 

“You were the one who asked me to accompany you and our son to camp. I was also trying to protect you from being bitten by a snake, but you refused me when I asked you to take care of me, the man said seriously, and there was a trace of resentiment in his tone 

Valeria blinked her eyes with a dumbfounded expression. Why did it sound like was her fault for real: 

it 

She walked over reluctantly, squatted in front of the bathtub, and grabbed Hackett’s arm. “Don’t move. If you move, I’ll leave immediately. 

The man looked up at her and nodded. “Okay. 

Valeria couldn’t help but silently complain to herself, “At a time like this, he’s acting like a well–behaved child, while normally, he’s as fierce as a lion.” 

Throughout the entire process, Hackett did not move. He seemed to enjoy the process. 

When Valeria’s hand reached into the bathtub, the towel accidentally fell inside. She had wanted to fish the towel out, but she did not expect to accidentally touch Hackett’s private part. 

At this moment, both of them froze. Neither of them moved. 

Valeria’s face turned red, and she did not know what to do. The next second, she looked up and met his dark eyes. 

As their eyes met, the atmosphere was tense with an awkward silence. 

The bathroom fell into an almost deafening stillness.
