Chapter 106
He felt dizzy and had no choice but to lie back down on the bed
Hackett leaned against the hospital bed and panted slightly. He regretted being so impulsive back then….
The man looked at the phone screen and couldn’t help but keep calling Valeria, but he couldn’t get through.
Bright red blood stained his chin, making his face look even palet.
In Starry Bay, in the bathroom, Valeria was bathing Alex.
“Mommy, are you in a bad mood today?” Alex had been observing his mother’s expression. He felt that something was armiss because she did not speak much today.
Hearing her son call her, Valeria came back to her senses. She forced a smile. “Huh? No, Maybe I’m just a little tired from work.”
“Oh… Mommy, go to bed early later. You don’t have to tell me stories today. I can sleep by myself.”
Seeing that her precious son was so sensible, she smiled in relief “Baby, you’re a good boy. Come! Stand up and wipe yourself clean. Let’s go blow dry your hair.”
Alex stood up and allowed Valeria to wipe his body clean. She wrapped him in his bathrobe and carried him to the sink. -Looking at the baby’s little face that was becoming more and more like Hackett’s, Valeria felt a trace of worry in her heart
She asked tentatively, “Baby, do you really want a father?”
She also knew that fathers played an important role in a boy’s development. However, after the scene in the office today, she was very disappointed in Hackett. She would never let her son return to the James family.
Alex stared at her with his adorable grape–like eyes and did not speak for a long time. It was as if he had something on his mind.
“What’s wrong? If you have something to say, just say it”
“Mommy, do you
want me to tell the truth?”
“Of course. I don’t like children who lie. You have to tell the truth Valeria helped him wipe the water droplets on his hair.
Alex thought for a long time. “I do want a father, but if you don’t like him, neither do I. I only want you to be happy.”
Valeria
didn’t know what to say.
Although Ella had already relayed these words to her, she would still be very touched to hear her son say them personally. Sometimes, she felt it was a burden for such a child to be so sendible. Shouldn’t children be carefree and behave atrociously?
“Alex Sharp.”
“Huh? Alex suddenly heard his mother call his full name. He was a little at a loss. Did he say something wrong!
Valeria looked very serious as she told her son. “Don’t worry. I will find you a reliable father, okay?”
However, Alex looked at his mother with disdain. “Mommy, you’ve said this many times. You’re lying to me again, right?”
“No! I’m not lying to you this time. I’m going to start looking for a father for you seriously.”
Chapter 106
In the past, she still had a trage of fantasy about Hackett. Now, she wouldn’t. Even if all the men in the world died, she wouldn’t choose 1lackett mymore.
Alex was skeptical. “You sure? Then I will reluctantly trust you one more time. By the way, Troy’s father is very outstanding. He’s also single. Do you want to know him?
Valeria was speechless.
So Alex was already trying to find a new father in kindergarten?
Indeed, he wanted to have a father more than she had imagined.
Well…
However, it was understandable. Alex didn’t have his father’s companionship since he was born. He always called Keith “Daddy” pitifully.
“Alright, let’s go to bed. Leave the job of finding a daddy to me. Don’t worry. Just have fun with the children in kindergarten.”
Valeria carried her son and walked toward the bed in the bedroom. Her son smelled like milk. Then she handed him the milk that he had already warmed.
“Drink the milk obediently and go to sleep after that. I won’t accompany you to tell stories tonight. You should learn to sleep alone since you are a big boy now, okay?”
“Alright, alright. Mommy, stop nagging. Good night.”
Alex lay on the bed with the milk bottle and drank it himself. He even lay in a relaxed posture with his legs crossed.
Valeria could not help but laugh when he saw this scene. He really knew how to enjoy himself.
She left the children’s room and went downstairs. She realized that Ella was still working in the kitchen.
