Marriage Resumption (Valeria and Hackett)

Chapter 139

Hackett let out a disdainful sneer. "Do you think that I ordered Keith's parents to say those harsh words?"

Valeria had nothing to say. Keith's parents' words made it clear that they looked down on her and felt that she was not worthy of their son.

It seemed even if Hackett did not make a scene tonight, this meal would still end on bad terms.

Keith's parents were not here to eat with her, but to pose a threat in order to scare her off. "Take me home."

Valeria opened the door on the passenger side and got in. Alex looked up and saw her.

"Mommy, why are you so late? Hackett and I have been waiting for a long time."

I'm sorry, Mommy was held up by something. Let's go home, okay? Have you had any food at the Hackett's house? Are you hungry?" Valeria happened to not have eaten anything. She was thinking of going home and making some food. However, Afex said to her excitedly, "Mommy, the chef at Hackett's is great at cooking. I've eaten a lot. Can I go to Hackett's place every day for food?"

Valeria was at a loss for words. This little brat's stomach had been bribed by the chef from the James family again.

At this moment, Hackett settled in the driver's seat. "Of course. Come to my house every day from now on. Our chef knows

how to make a lot of delicious food."

Valeria looked at her son. "Baby, Mommy has been busy these past few days, and Ella has asked for time off, so Hackett will take care of you. You have to be obedient in his house. Don't cause trouble and don't be naughty, understand?" "Mommy, I understand. You've been nagging about it so many times." Alex lowered his head again and immersed himself in the fun of playing with his phone. His little paws tapped on the screen very skillfully.

Hackett smiled. This brat's temper was very similar to his when he was young. He was always so impatient.

The car slowly drove away.

At this moment, Keith happened to have just arrived to see the back of the car as it drove away. So he decided to drive straight to Starry Bay.

At Starry Bay.

Hackett drove the mother and son home, but Valeria had no intention of having him stay for a cup of drink.

"You can head back now. Thank you for taking care of the kid today."

After that, Valeria picked up Alex. She snatched the phone away and returned it to Hackett.

Hackett took the phone and chuckled. "How heartless you are. Do I look like a free driver and nanny to you?"

"Then what else do you want? It's late. We would like to go to bed

She was really tired today. She just wanted to go back and coax the baby to sleep, then take a hot shower and sleep.

Hackett did not respond to Valeria and looked directly at Alex. "Kid, your dinner was my treat. Can you treat me to a glass of water?"

"Mommy bought me juice-Hackett, would you like some? It's delicious." Alex blinked his grape-like eyes innocently.

"Sure, I'm a little thirsty."

Alex hugged Valeria's neck. "Mommy, Hackett treated me to a meal. I want to treat him to juice in return."

Valeria didn't know what to say.

So Hackett was allowed back to her home while Valeria had to pour a glass of juice for him. At the same time, Alex was so sleepy he fell asleep right away.

At this moment, the doorbell rang. Valeria walked over and saw Keith standing outside.

However, the last person she wanted to see now was Keith. It was not because of what Keith's parents had said, but because she did not know how to face it or what to say.

Keith kept ringing the doorbell outside. He knew that Valeria was home.

Hackett picked up the juice and took a sip. It was too sweet. He could not help but frown. Why did children like this kind of thing?

Seeing that she refused to open the door for a long time, Hackett stood up and walked over. "Why aren't you opening the door? Is it an enemy of yours outside?"

After taking a glance through the video feed from the doorbell, Hackett instantly realized what was going on. He said, "Do you need to me tell him to leave?"

Valeria shook her head. "This is his house. How can I tell him to leave?"

"I'll help you find another house to live in." This matter had been on Hackett's mind for a long time. How could he live with the fact that his wife and kid both lived in Keith's villa? The more he thought about it, the more upset he became. If she heard this offer in the past, Valeria would definitely reject it, but now...

Valeria nodded. "For the record, I don't need you to give me a house. I just need you to help me find a house and I'll pay the

rent."

After all, Keith's parents had already made their stance clear. There was no point in her being petty about it anymore. Even if she did not want to return to Hackett, it was impossible for her to be with Keith. "Suit yourself," Hackett said.

In fact, he wanted Valeria to move to the manor with the child, but Valeria would definitely reject the proposal.

However, the doorbell kept ringing. Keith seemed to be persistent in seeing her today.

If this continued, Alex, who was sleeping upstairs, would eventually wake up.

Valeria picked up the phone and dialed Keith's number. The call was picked up very quickly, and the doorbell stopped ringing abruptly.

Keith's anxious voice came through the phone. "Valeria, I'm sorry. I really didn't know that my parents said such things to you. I apologize on their behalf. I..."

Valeria tried to calm down first and said, "It's okay. What they did was reasonable. They did it for your sake. I can understand."

"Will you open the door, then? I would like to talk about it with you. You also haven't eaten anything tonight. You must be hungry. Shall I make you some food?"

"No need. It's late. You should go back. Stop ringing the doorbell. Alex is asleep."

After saying that, Valeria was going to hang up, but Hackett snatched it away.

He raised the phone and said in a domineering tone, "Stop worrying. If she's hungry. I'll take her to eat. Don't ring the doorbell again. If you wake my son up, I will give you a very rough time!" Then, he hung up.

Valeria was dumbfounded. Why was this scumbag so unreasonable?!

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Hackett looked at her calmly, as if he did not think that he had done anything wrong.

Valeria was so angry that she laughed. "Why are you like this? You're in his house now, and you're still so fierce to him. Are you ready to change professions and become a bully?" Hackett scoffed. "I thought you paid the rent and it's legal to use the house."

Valeria did not know what to say. Although she was a lawyer, talking to Hackett always made her speechless.

"Have you finished your juice? Go home after you're done. I would like to go to bed. I'm sleepy!"

Hackett narrowed his eyes. "Are you sure you want me to leave? If I leave, what if that piece of trash barges in? I have to take responsibility for my son's safety."

"So you're going to use that as an excuse to stay here tonight?"

"That's not an excuse. I'm just trying to protect my son," Hackett said confidently. He returned to the sofa and continued drinking the tremendously sweet juice.
