Chapter Resumption 133
Chapter 133
Seeing her reaction, Keith smiled. "Then what do you think? Once Hackett James finds out that Alex is his son, he will definitely not let him go."
Of course, Valeria knew how Hackett would react, but there was nothing she could do to stop him.
Just like last night, who would have expected Hackett to kneel in the garden and bump into the kid?
Keith saw her troubled expression and felt sorry for her. "Valeria, tell me the truth. Do you still have him in your heart? Do you want to bring Alex back to his side?"
If Valeria had thoughts of remarriage, and with Hackett's relentless pursuit, what difference did it make even if she had said yes to his proposal? After all, Valeria and that man had a son.
"To be honest, no... After experiencing so many things, I feel that Hackett and I are really not compatible
Although this misunderstanding was resolved and Hackett knew that he had wronged her, what about in the future? If such a thing happened again, Hackett would still suspect her and not believe her. Hearing her words, Keith heaved a sigh of relief. At least it proved that he still had a chance.
When he saw Hackett and Alex standing together in the supermarket tonight, for a second, he felt that he was definitely going to lose.
"Does my proposal still count?" Keith asked in a relaxed tone on purpose.
Valeria cleared her throat awkwardly. "I've already said yes. What else can I do?"
The man smiled and did not say anything. Since that was the case, he was relieved. At the very least, Valeria did not want to return to Hackett's side. This was clear. He knew that he should not keep worrying about Hackett.
Half an hour later, it was time for dinner.
The dining table was the real battlefield.
Hackett and Keith sat facing each other, their gazes occasionally colliding, especially Hackett, whose eyes were filled with hostility.
Alex sat beside him, and the two had nearly identical faces. One had a fierce and evil expression, while the other looked innocent and pure, creating a hilarious scene.
"Uncle Hackett, I want to the fish. Can I have some, please?" Alex lay on the dining table and tried to reach the fish with his small hands, but he could not.
Hearing his son's voice, Hackett retracted his gaze. His cold eyes instantly became gentle as he picked up his fork. "Okay"
However, just as he picked up his fork, Keith picked up a piece of fish and placed it on Alex's plate
Thank you, Keith," Alex said politely,
Hackett was jealous, but he still picked up a piece of fish and fedit to his son. "Open your mouth."
Alex opened his mouth and ate it without having a chance to reise.
Hackett took the opportunity to instill thoughts in Alex, saying. Alex, don't call just anyone 'dad Only the man who is

married to your mommy can be called 'dad,' understand?"
As soon as he finished his sentence, the expressions of the people at the dining table changed.
Valeria was speechless. Why was this bastard saying this to her son?
Keith remained silent, but he seemed to try his best to control his temper. He held his fork tighter.
Only Ella could not help but laugh when she saw this scene, finding father and son amusing.
Alex looked at Hackett curiously. "What's getting married?"
"Only the man who marries your mommy can be called 'dad,' alright?" He explained it very seriously, and Alex also paid attention to his words.
"Oh... I understand. This is called getting married." Alex nodded and continued eating.

Valeria could not help but glare at the man. "Hackett! How old are you? Why are you saying this to my son? Do you seriously think such a young kid can understand this?" Moreover, Alex was already a mature kid. Why was Hackett still telling him such nonsense?
"It's precisely because he doesn't understand that I want to explain it to him," Hackett answered seriously, making Valeria choke with anger.
At this moment, Ella said, "Valeria, I want to take a few days off to settle the divorce. I don't want to live with that violent bastard anymore."
"Sure, but can you do it alone? Will that bastard let you go?"
Valeria was somewhat worried. Seeing the way the abusive man had shown up today, it didn't seem like he would leave easily.
Ella hesitated for a moment and said with a smile, "I'll try to talk to him first. If it doesn't work, I can only ask you for help. After all, you are a big lawyer."
"No problem," Valeria agreed readily.
Keith asked the most crucial question. "If you take leave, who will take care of your kid?"
"This is exactly what I wanted to discuss with you guys. Do you have anyone taking care of Alex these few days?" Ella looked at Valeria.
Valeria was also in a dilemma. If Ella took a few days off, she would have to bring Alex to her office. In short, she would never easily let others get close to her son anymore. "Leave it to me."
Suddenly, Hackett put down his fork and looked up at Valeria, who was worried. "Don't even think about bringing him to office. It won't do."
"But you taking care of him will do? Don't you have many things to deal with every day?"
Was Hackett less occupied than her? As the CEO of the James Group, his daily schedule was packed. Did she not know?
Hackett looked at the kid beside him and put on a gentle smile. can take a few days off. I haven't had any this year, and I want to make time to be with him."
As Alex's father, he had been absent for four years. Of course, he had to make up for it.

Chapter 133
Valeria was left speechless.
66%
In fact, she didn't want Hackett to have too much contact with her son. She had noticed how quickly Alex had accepted him, even skipping the stage of feeling like a stranger and treating him like an old acquaintance. They had only met last night... The power of blood relations was indeed quite formidable.
"Excuse me. It's my son's call."
Valeria now placed her hopes on Alex. She shouted in her heart, Say no, Alex! Mommy's office is fun!"
Hackett looked at the boy beside him and asked, "Alex, do you want to visit my house? I have an amusement park at home. Do you want to go?"
"Really? Sure! Uncle Hackett, do you have many cars at home? I want to take a car!" Alex still could not forget the cool Bentley outside.
The man smiled and answered, "Yes, I have a lot for you. My garage has many cars. You can choose whichever car you like. I'll drive you to school, okay?"
"Okay! Mommy, don't worry. I'll stay with Hackett while waiting for Ella to come pick me up when she's done!" Alex's face was filled with excitement. He was looking forward to what the sports cars in the garage would look like. As Keith's expression was a bit sour, he clenched his fists under the dining table.
On the other hand, Valeria felt disappointed. She had taken care of Alex for four years, but had this man just won his heart with his sports cars?
However, thinking about it, she understood Alex was still a kid after all. He knew nothing.
She had no choice but to accept the decision of her son.
After dinner, Ella was doing the dishes while Keith and Hackett sat in the living room. Neither of them had any intention of/ leaving.
