Marriage Resumption (Valeria and Hackett)

Chapter 179

Barron was getting upset. "Alex is not that fragile. He didn't cry for long last night, and he soon fell asleep after. It was not that difficult to calm him down." Learning her s for me?"

son

cried last night, Valeria couldn't shake the gnawing feeling of unease. "Did he cry last night? Was he looking

Although Alex was fearless during the day, he was still a kid who needed his mother to put him to sleep at night. After all, he was only three years old.

Barron waved his hand and said, "Every kid cries, alright? It's normal...

Valeria didn't even finish listening before she turned around and left, wanting to go to the garden to look for her son.

It seemed like Barron would not let her take Alex back home so easily, so it would be a waste of breath to say anything more.

After Valeria left, Hackett sat on the sofa and looked at his grandfather, who was as calm as a tranquil lake. "Alex is not in the garden at all, right?" he asked in a low voice. Barron didn't say anything but picked up the coffee cup and took a sip.

This response could be considered an answer.

Hackett sneered and slapped the coffee table angrily, making a violent sound. 'Grandpal Is there any point in doing this? Do you think you can hide him forever? Alex needs his mother. Don't you know that? Besides, it's not like Valeria doesn't want you to see Alex now. Why do you need to do this?"

He had started to be irritated with his grandfather's behavior. He had long known that his grandfather would be like this, but he did not expect him to be even more ruthless than he had imagined. Barron completely did not want Alex to stay with Valeria, and he planned to take Alex for himself.

"What you said makes sense, but Valeria won't remarry you. She won't return to the James family. Do you know what this means? She can run away with Alex at any time. I had waited for this great-grandson for a long time. I can't let her disappear with her child for another four years. How many years do I have left? I can't

With age, people tend to become more stubborn, and Barron, at this point, could not manage to think straight. He believed that as long as he kept Alex by his side and hid him from Valeria the situation would be normal after a long time.

Hackett said, "Grandpa, give Alex to us. This way, Valeria will still have a chance to return to my side. If you insist on doing this, then Alex and Valeria might really be further and further away from us."

"You are so ridiculous. Now that Alex is with me, how can he be further away

from me?

Barron did not agree with Heckett's words. He thought that with Alex by his side, he had the final say in everything.

It seemed that he could not reason with his grandfather.

Hackett could not be bothered to talk nonsense with him anymore, so he stood up and said angrily, "Alfred!"

At this moment, Alfred rushed over. "Mr. Hackett, I'm here. What can I do for you?"

Hackett looked at Alfred and asked coldly. "Where is Alex? Take me to see Alex."

"Well Alfred looked a little troubled as he looked at Barron.

Noticing that Alfred was hemming and hawing. Hackett knew that he wouldn't be able to get any information out of him. He might as well find Alex himself.

He turned around and walked out of the living room, intending search each room himself.

"Hackett!"

At the same time, Valeria came to him in a panic and bumped into his arms.

Hackett hugged her in his arms and straightened her body. Looking at her sour expression, asked. "What's wrong?"

There's no sign of Alex in the garden. I've looked everywhere, but I can't find him. They won't tell me where he is. What should I do?" Valeria sounded like she was about to cry, and her tone could make anyone heartbroken. Hackett hugged her and said, "I know, I am going to look for Alex now."

With that, he held Valeria's hand and walked out of the living room. Before walking out of the door, he turned around and looked at his grandfather with a cold gaze.

Seeing them leave, Barron glanced at Alfred beside him. "Where's Alex? Are you sure they cannot find him?" he asked.

"Don't worry. Mr. Alex isn't in this house. Mr. Hackett won't be able to find him even if they turn this place upside down today Alfred whispered into Barron's ear Hearing Alfred's words, Barron beamed with joy.

He couldn't concern himself with as many details now. Regardless of the means, as long as he could keep the James family's kid by his side, it would be worthwhile. Meanwhile, Hackett and Valeria were anxiously looking for their son.

Hackett searched every room in the mansion, but he could not find Alex.

"What should we do... Maybe Alex is not even here?"

Valeria panicked, and tears streamed down her face.

Before she came, she thought that Barron might be reluctant to let her bring Alex home, but she did not expect that he would not even let her see Alex. Hackett's expression turned unpleasant. "Yes, maybe Alex isn't here. I don't know where Grandpa hid Alex."

Valeria grabbed his arm and said, "Then what should we do? Alex will cry after not seeing me for so long. He won't be able to eat or sleep well. He will get sick..."

He pulled her into his arms and patted her back gently. "It's okay. I'll find him. There are only a few places where he can hide Alex. I'll look for them one by one."

At this moment, Barron and Alfred stood at the end of the corridor and looked at them.

After seeing Barron, Valeria quickly left Hackett's arms and wiped her tears.

She could not help but walk over with a nervous expression. "Grandpa, you can't do this. Alex has never left me since he was young, and he needs me to put him to sleep at night. If he doesn't see me for a few days, he won't be able to eat or sleep well. What if he gets sick..." Barron didn't say anything but just looked at her.

Hackett walked over and pulled Valeria behind him. "Don't waste time reason with Grandpa. Eventually, he is just a cold- hearted man."

Tears streamed down her cheeks, tracing delicate paths of heartache as she struggled to hold back her emotions. Chapter 179

Seeing her cry, Barron finally felt a bit guilty. However, in order to keep the James family's kid, he couldn't change his mind.

"Grandpa, you'd better get someone to report Alex's situation every half an hour. He can't leave Valeria. If anything happens to Alex, don't blame me for turning my back on you. I won't care if you are my grandfather or not." Hackett warned his grandfather word by word. After saying that he pulled Valeria and left the old mansion without looking

back.

Barron was stunned for a long time before he reacted. "What are you talking about? What are you going to do to me? Can you kill your grandfather? Hmph!" he shouted at Hackett's back

However, Barron was indeed somewhat guilty. "Tell them to report Alex's situation to me every half an hour. If there is anything wrong, bring the kid to me, he instructed Alfred, who was beside him.

"Yes!"

"By the way, go over there and see how Alex is doing. See if he's eating and sleeping, and check how he is doing."

"Alright, I'll go now." Alfred nodded and turned to leave.

Barron then stayed at home to wait for Alfred back..

Meanwhile, Valeria sat in the car with Hackett.

She quietly wiped her tears in the driver's seat. The feeling was overwhelming, just like the last time her son had been kidnapped

She did not understand how that amiable and kind old man could become so unreasonable...

Hackett sat in the front passenger seat and did not know how to comfort her, so he only handed over a tissue. "Here."
