Chapter Resumption 132
Chapter 132
Hackett's gaze was as sharp as a sword as he looked directly at Valeria. His ruthless gaze seemed to be saying: Valeria! This is how you taught my son!
At this moment, Valeria only wanted to find a hole to hide in. How could she resolve this awkward situation?
"Keith, why are you here too? What a coincidence." Alex acted like he knew Keith.
Keith ignored Hackett's angry gaze and patted Alex's head with a smile. "I plan to buy groceries and have dinner with you and your mommy tonight. Keith will cook fish for you tonight, okay?" "Alright, alright! Mister is also having dinner at our house tonight. There are so many people. It's so fun!" Alex's grape-like eyes were sparkling. The way he smiled was extremely cute. Hackett was going too?
Keith smiled meaningfully. "Really? Mr. James has learned how to freeload?"
"It's none of your bloody business!" Hackett could not take it anymore. If not for the fact that he was in front of the child, he would have punched him.
Valeria glared at Hackett. "You cursed in front of the child? Do you want him to learn from you? It's not easy to learn good habits, but it's easy to learn bad ones!". Hackett kept quiet.
Ella could not help but laugh out loud. No matter how she looked at it, she felt that Valeria and her ex-husband were more suitable. After all, there was still a child. Starry Bay.
It was already dark. Ella and Keith were busy cooking dinner in the kitchen. Valeria was also helping.
As for Hackett, his culinary skills were not good to begin with. Previously, he had been cooking under the guidance of a chef. Now that he did not have the James family's chef, he did not know how to cook at all. He could only accompany Alex to play with toys in the living room.
"Mister, what's your name? My name is Alex," Alex asked curiously.
Hackett answered seriously, "Remember, my name is Hackett. Also, why do you call him Keith?"
He just wanted to know why he lost? Why did he call Keith by his name while he called him Mister?
"Because he is Keith. He will be my father and Mommy's husband in the future," Alex answered as he played with the puzzle. Although Mister was very nice and had saved him, Keith's status was unshakable. He was the most suitable man for Mommy. Hackett's expression changed drastically. "What? Your father?"
He really wanted to roar at this little brat, "I'm your father!"
But he couldn't.
How could this kid recognize a thief as his father?
"That's right. Keith is the best. He's very suitable to be Mommy's husband," Alex said without looking up. His small hands were still playing with the puzzle.

At this moment, Hackett's mood was like an ant on a hot pan. He was anxious and frustrated. It seemed that this child had been completely brainwashed by Keith.
If this little brat wasn't on his side, what hope did he have to chase after Valeria?
"Alex, aren't you afraid that your father will be sad? Don't you want to return to your father's side with your mommy?"
He knew that the child had never seen his biological father since he was young. Perhaps he would have a conflicting mentality, so he had to take it one step at a time. He was not in a hurry, but he definitely could not give Keith a chance to beat him to it.

The little boy suddenly looked up at him, his face full of grievance. "Daddy won't be sad. Daddy doesn't love Mommy, and he doesn't love me either. Mommy said that Daddy doesn't want us anymore, so I don't want Daddy either. I want to find a good man for Mommy, a good husband."
"Nonsense! Who told you that?"
Hackett was instantly enraged. Who taught him all this nonsense? When did he not want Valeria and their child?
No wonder the child called him 'Keith' so intimately. It turned out that he hated his biological father.
The little guy put down the puzzle in his hand and glanced at his mommy who was busy in the kitchen. He stood up and leaned close to Hackett's ear. He whispered, "Mister, let me tell you softly. I asked Mommy for Daddy's photo, but Mommy said that she didn't have it, so Daddy must hate us. Otherwise, why didn't he even leave us a photo?"
The man was speechless for a moment.
He was indeed a very incompetent father. It had been four years, and this was the first time he knew of his son's existence.
Moreover.... in the past four years, Valeria had never mentioned him in front of the child? And she had never let the child see his photo? How much did she hate him....
The heart in his chest ached.
Hackett picked up the baby and placed him on his legs. He patiently told him, "Alex, maybe your father has his difficulties. Why won't he want you guys? He's been looking for you guys, but he just can't find you."
"Why can't Dad find us?" Alex's eyes widened in curiosity.
How could he explain this?
Hackett was silent for a moment before sighing. "Because he doesn't know that you were born. If he knew, he would definitely find you. Daddy is yours and Mommy's, okay?"
"Hackett, how do you know? Do you know my father?" Alex suddenly became more vigilant. He felt that Hackett was very strange. It was as if he knew a lot of things.
"Yeah."
"Do you really know my father? Then can you bring me to see him? I've never seen him before. I want to see him." The little guy immediately perked up. He had always been very curious about what his father looked like, but he couldn't tell that he looked exactly like Hackett in front of him.
Hackett had a headache.
Why did he say that he knew?
"Your father is on a business trip. Let's wait for him to finish his work." Now was not the best time to acknowledge the child. He had to give the child time to adapt.

"Oh... Hackett, does my-father really love my mommy? The teacher said that Daddy loves Mommy, so I was born."
Hackett chuckled. "Of course. You were born because your Daddy loves Mommy."
"So what Teacher said is true..." Alex looked like he was thinking seriously.
In the kitchen.
Ella left the kitchen for a while to get something.
Now, only Valeria and Keith were left in the kitchen. The atmosphere was extremely awkward. She did not even dare to look up at Keith. After Keith cleaned up the fish in his hand, he turned to look at her. "Valeria?"
"Huh? What is it?" She looked flustered, as if she had done something wrong.
"What are you thinking about? The water is boiling." Keith glanced at the boiling water in the pot and came over to turn off the fire. Valeria came back to her senses. "I'm sorry, I was distracted just now."
"Be careful next time. It's dangerous."
"Well...
Keith asked in a relaxed tone, "Are you going to give Hackett another chance? He seems to already know that Alex is his son." "I'm not! He was the one who shamelessly pestered me!" Valeria denied.
