Chapter 131
Hackett scoffed. “Yes!”
How could this man be so childish? He even did it in front of his own son. How lame.
Valeria asked nicely, “Then what’s the matter? Do you want us to send you to the hospital?”
On account of him saving the child, she would accommodate him. After all, he was the high and mighty Mr. Hackett.
However, Hackett shamelessly said, “I’m tired from fighting. I’m hungry. Treat me to a meal.”
Valeria was dumbfounded.
Valeria’s eyes widened. “Are you kidding me? If you’re tired, go home. If you’re hungry, go home and eat. There are so many chefs in your manor. Can’t they satisfy you?”
At this moment, Alex, who was leaning against the car window, suddenly said, “Mommy, Mister saved us just now. We should treat him to a meal, right?”
Valeria was speechless and thought to herself, “Baby, stop talking.”
Alex added, “Mommy, didn’t you teach me to repay kindness? If Mister hadn’t saved us just now, we might have been caught by a bad person.”
Valeria smiled helplessly. “Yes, we have to learn to repay kindness, but… Mister has something to do. Let’s treat him to a meal
another day, okay?”
She patted her son’s head and winked at Hackett.
However, Hackett was extremely uncooperative. He smiled and said, “I don’t have anything to do. Do you want to treat me to a meal? I can come for it at any time.”
“Then I want to treat you to a meal. Mister, come to our house for a meal. Ella makes delicious food,” Alex said to Hackett excitedly
Hackett’s smile grew wider. “Okay, just nice. I’m hungry.”
Valeria was speechless.
Was this the tacit understanding between father and son? She had never thought that Alex and Hackett would become so close so quickly and get along so harmoniously…
Could this be the so–called magic of blood relations?
“Go get the car.” Hackett looked at Valeria.
Valeria could not help but roll her eyes at the man. She gritted her teeth and said with a fake smile, “I’ll treat you to a human barbecue. Are you going to eat it or not?”
The corners of the man’s lips curled up. “I’ll eat what you treat me to.”
Valeria snorted and looked at the baby in the car. “Baby, why don’t you and Ella take Mommy’s car? Okay?”
“Mommy, I want to sit in Mister’s car. It’s very cool.” The little guy sat in the back of the car and did not want to get out at all. He even looked like he wanted to live in the car.
Hackett slowly said, “I’ll drive them. You drive your own car.”

Chapter 181
She really wanted to bite this man to death. Why did she suddenly feel like she had fallen out of favor? Alex, this little brat, had his eyes on this sports car now. What a heartless little brat.
Ella suddenly suggested. “Um.. Why don’t you guys go back first have to buy some vegetables. We don’t have any fresh vegetables at home.”
“Then let’s go together,” Valeria said.
“I have no objections,” Hackett said.
Alex, who was in the backseat, also shouted, “I have no objections either!”
Therefore, the group drove to the supermarket. Ella and Valeria were in charge of buying ingredients.
Hackett and Alex looked through the supermarket at the front. The two of them looked so harmonious. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that they were father and son because they looked so similar.
Ella and Valeria pushed the shopping cart behind. Valeria looked at the tall and short figure and felt a trace of jealousy.
“Valeria, Alex has never seen his father since he was young?” Ella asked.
Valeria retracted her gaze and looked a little embarrassed. “Yes, I’ve been divorced since I was pregnant, so the father and son haven’t met.”
“But I don’t think your ex–husband is an irresponsible man. Why did you get a divorce? It can’t be because of domestic violence like my trash husband, right?” Ella asked curiously.
“Not really. He’s hot–tempered, but he won’t lay a hand on a woman. What kind of man would lay a hand on a woman?”
Ella’s expression was a little bitter. “Yes, what kind of man would commit domestic violence?”
“So, I advise you to call the police. I can be your defense lawyer. Don’t be afraid.” Valeria was angry at the thought of Ella enduring the fear of domestic violence all day.
Ella glanced at Hackett’s back and then at her cowardly husband who domestic abused her. The comparisons were really infuriating.
“Yes! I want a divorce. I don’t want to be abused anymore. I’ve had enough!” Ella finally mustered up the courage to face the divorce.
Valeria could not help but laugh. “That’s right. Domestic violence is not a small matter. Domestic violence is illegal.”
“Valeria?”
Suddenly, a man’s voice broke into their conversation.
Valeria’s body stiffened. This voice…
She turned around and saw Keith pushing a shopping cart to the supermarket. He seemed to be buying ingredients too.
“Keith, why are you here?” She suddenly felt guilty, as if she was cheating on Keith behind his back. She was inexplicably
nervous.
However, Ella did not know what was going on, nor did she know that Valeria had already agreed to Keith’s proposal. She greeted generously, “Mr. Cooper.”
Keith pushed a shopping cart over and smiled gently. “What a coincidence. You’re also buying groceries? I was planning to buy groceries and have dinner with you at Starry Bay tonight.”

Valeria’s eyes widened. Oh my god!
This was definitely her punishment!
