Chapter 129
“Forget it. I can’t communicate with you. Go do what you need to do.”
Valeria turned around and was about to leave when she suddenly remembered something. She turned around and pointed at him. “Have you removed that empty tombstone? Stop cursing my son!”
Embarrassment flashed across the man’s handsome face. “I removed it long ago.” This was probably the stupidest thing he had done since he was born.
Valeria turned around and wanted to hail a taxi by the roadside. Unexpectedly, the man grabbed her arm. “Let me drive you. It’s rush hour now. You won’t be able to get a taxi.”
Of course, she knew that she couldn’t get a taxi, but ever since Hackett saw the child last night, she felt uncomfortable and didn’t know how to face this man.
Suddenly, her phone rang.
It was from Keith. He was probably wondering why she hadn’t gone to the law office yet.
Valeria glanced at Hackett who was beside her and walked to the side to pick up the call. “Hello, I’m on the way. There’s a traffic jam. I’ll be there soon. You guys can start the meeting first. Don’t wait for me.”
Hackett, who was standing at the side, immediately knew who the caller was. A trace of jealousy appeared in his eyes.
After hanging up the phone, Valeria got into the man’s car and urged, “Hurry up then. I’m going to be late for work. I have an important meeting to attend.”
Hackett did not say anything. He got into the car silently, started the car, and left the kindergarten.
After entering the driveway, the man deliberately drove very slowly and deliberately took a long detour.
Valeria did not notice it at first, but she felt that she was getting further and further away from the law office. She could not help but ask, “Why are you taking a long detour?”
“Because of the traffic jam.” Hackett looked straight ahead and seemed to be very focused on driving.
However, the detour was getting longer and longer. It was obvious that he did not want her to go to the law office.
Valeria narrowed her eyes slightly and looked at the man’s handsome side profile. “Hackett, you did it on purpose, right? You don’t want me to go to the law office to see Keith, right?”
“So what if I am?” He didn’t hide anything.
“You can’t get in the way of my work. Just get me to work. I’ve got a lot on my plate today.” She glanced at the clock. The meeting had started, but she wasn’t there yet.
“Unless you reject Keith’s proposal, I won’t let you go to law office. Or if you want to be a lawyer, I can open a law office for you.”
This nonchalant tone made Valeria furious. She was so angry that she laughed. “Are you threatening me? Is this your attitude of begging for forgiveness? Don’t think that I will definitely return to your side just because there’s a child in the middle.”
“I know.”
Of course, he knew that it would not be easy for Valeria to return to his side. However, when he thought about how Valeria and Keith worked in the same law office, he gritted his teeth hatefully.

Chapter 129
“Since you know, hurry up and send me to the law office. Otherwise, I’ll jump out of the car right now.”
“How dare you!” Hackett frowned slightly. This woman must be crazy to say such words.
Valeria snorted. “Let’s see if I dare!”

Although he knew that it was unlikely, Hackett still drove towards the law office. He could not bet on Valeria’s life, especially when his son existed.
Soon, the car slowly stopped under the office building.
Valeria unbuckled her seatbelt and pushed open the door to get out of the car. She was really going to be late.
However, the man said, “If you’re very busy this afternoon, I’ll pick the child up from school.”
“No need. I hired a babysitter. She will pick the child up from school.” Valeria looked back at him before running into the building without looking back.
Looking at her anxious back, Hackett watched her go in before driving away slowly.
James Group.
In the CEO’s office, the man sat on the office chair, his long legs elegantly crossing on the table. There was a cigarette between his lips. The smoke lingered, blurring his handsome facial features.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door.
He didn’t even look. “Come in.”
The secretary walked into the office and saw the CEO’s relaxed appearance. The secretary said, “Mr. James, do you want to attend the meeting in the morning? It will start in ten minutes.”
He had just found out about his son’s existence. How could he be in the mood to work?
Hackett put down his legs, stubbed out his cigarette, and said, “No, let Mr. Hill go.”
“Will do.”
The secretary left the office and closed the door.
At that moment, his phone rang again. He glanced at it and saw that it was still Cheryl calling. He didn’t know how many times Cheryl had called since yesterday. It was about to blow up his phone, but he didn’t want to answer any of them.
He did not want to take another look at this lying girl, let alone say anything more to her.
Only then did Hackett realize that he had been fooled by this girl all these years.
He hung up the phone and blocked the number.
Then, he was immersed in the joy of having a cute child descend from the sky. When he thought of that little brat’s clever appearance, the corners of his mouth curled into a smile.
Soon, it was time for kindergarten to end.
Although Valeria did not ask him to pick up the child from school, Hackett still decided to go to kindergarten. He would only be at ease if he saw his son being picked up with his own eyes.
Hackett parked the car under a tree by the roadside. He lowered the window and silently watched as the children were picked up one by one.
