“Why are you so sure? Aren’t you afraid that I will cheat on you? Valeria’s eyes were so sincere. It didn’t look like she was joking at all.
Hackett looked at her expression and laughed. “You wouldn’t dare.”
“What makes you think I wouldn’t dare? Why are you so sure?”
Valeria just didn’t like this man’s confidence. He was even being a little presumptuous.
However, the man sighed deeply and caressed her cheek with his slender fingers. “I’m only certain that you didn’t dare to do it four years ago. As for the current you, it’s hard to say.”
Valeria was slightly stunned. At first, she didn’t understand what the man meant. After a few seconds, she seemed to understand.
It was because Hackett felt that Valeria loved him deeply four years ago and was deeply loyal to him, but now that four years had passed, Hackett had also broken Valeria’s heart.
If the current Valeria would betray him and cheat on him, of course, he would panic.
Hackett had always felt that Valeria didn’t love him as much as she did four years ago, but Hackett had reaped what he sowed.
“You think I don’t love you enough now, so I can do anything to let you down?”
Hackett chuckled. “Although I won’t be able to bear it, you do have the right because I hurt you too deeply.”
A part of Valeria’s heart suddenly softened, and her fingers curled up. She didn’t expect the proud Hackett James to be so humbled.
“If I really did something to let you down, what would you do to me?”
Valeria was suddenly a little curious about how Hackett would answer four years later. If it was four years ago, needless to say, Hackett would naturally chase her out of the James family and never see her again.
But what about now?
The man stared at her face for a long time and said, “I might go crazy, but I will also chain you to my side. I will never allow you to leave me.”
“Even if I betrayed you?”
Hackett remained silent. His silence said everything.
Even if Valeria did something that wronged Hackett, Hackett still wanted to keep Valeria by his side.
Valeria stared blankly at the man, not knowing what to say.
However, the man pulled her into his arms and kissed her earlobe. He said, “Don’t leave me. I don’t want to experience the feeling of losing my loved ones anymore. If it happens again, I might really commit suicide.”
“What nonsense are you
talking about!”
Valeria instinctively hugged the man’s body.
Seeing her strong reaction, the man smiled. It was good that there was a reaction. That proved that she still had him in her

Valeria could feel that although this man looked indestructible now, he was actually very fragile inside and could not withstand any blows.
No one could bear the pain of watching their loved ones leave one by one.
“Hackett, I’ll always be with you.”
In the end, her heart softened. Moreover, she had fallen in love with this man first.
Hackett let go of her and looked deeply into her beautiful eyes. Then, he slowly kissed her lips.
This time, she didn’t refuse. Instead, she raised her arms and hugged the man’s body, responding to his kiss.
Valeria’s response made the man even crazier and more intense.
At the Mystic Lake Villa, one of the bodyguards said, “Sir, we’ve discovered a suspicious woman in the last few days. She’s always appearing in our vicinity, whether intentionally or unintentionally.”
Simon glanced at the bodyguard. “Who is it?”
“We’re currently working on it, but we haven’t found anything yet. This woman keeps coming around our vicinity. It feels like she’s following you.”
“Following me?” Simon wondered.
Simon frowned. He didn’t know any women in Creyque. If he had to name a foreign woman he knew, that only left Valeria, so who was this woman who was following him?
“Find out as soon as possible.”
“Understood.”
The bodyguard added, “Sir, Hackett already knows about the DNA test results, but he still refuses to hand the child over to us. What should we do?”
“Then we’ll do it the hard way.”
“Yes, sir.”
Simon’s patience had run out. How many DNA tests had been done? There was no point in wasting any more time.
Suddenly, Simon’s phone rang.
Simon picked up the phone. It was from the Lawrence family. After a few simple words, Simon hung up.
“Take the child as soon as possible. They’re already urging me to go back.”
“Yes, sir.”
Tia had packed her luggage overnight. Just as she was readied to leave the neighborhood, she was stopped by a car.
“Miss, our boss wants to see you.”
“Who is your boss?”
“Why are you pretending to be dumb? Haven’t you been following our boss for the last few days? It’s time for you to show yourself,” the bodyguard said.

“Lawrence!” Tia thought.
Tia’s eyes widened. She felt that she had already been very careful. How could she have been discovered?

She turned to run. After all, they were on the streets. These people wouldn’t dare to do anything to her.
However, Tia was still too naive. When she turned to escape and shout for help, the bodyguard pounced and force.ly dragged her back into the car.

Although many passers–by found it strange, it was only a fleeting feeling of strangeness. After the car left, everyone went about their own business as if nothing had happened.
Tia was brought to the Mystic Lake Villa.
The bodyguard led her into the villa. At this moment, Simon was sitting on the sofa in the living room, waiting for her.
When she saw this man, Tia looked abnormally calm on the surface, when in fact, her heart was already in turmoil.
Seeing this man four years later, he was still as handsome and cold–blooded as he was before.
However, at that moment, her phone rang. Tia wanted to hang up, but she accidentally pressed the answer button. Hence, Emerson’s voice came through the phone.
“When are you going to release my grandson? I’ve already done what you asked me to do. Don’t go overboard!
Tia put the phone to her ear with a calm expression. “You’ll see him this afternoon. Go home and wait.”
With that, she hung up.
“Why are you looking for me?” Tia pretended not to know him, even though she had been intimate with this man before.
“You’ve been following me for several days. Don’t you know who I am?”
Tia was so angry that she almost laughed. These two men were really arrogant. They both said the same thing.
Apparently, Simon didn’t know who she was, nor had he even met her.
Tia knew the man in front of her like the back of her hand. Everything was set up by her, including the DNA test results.
“I don’t know. I just think you’re very handsome, so I want to get to know you. Can’t I?”
The woman’s words were very frivolous, which made Simon very unhappy.
Simon studied the woman in front of him. She was beautiful, but she possessed a beauty that was so vivacious that it was impossible to ignore.
