Chapter 135
“Sure, but only after you finish school.” The man’s lips curled into an indulgent smile. There was no way for him to not dote on his son.
Alex jumped on the spot. “Wow! That’s great! I want to go to school. I want to get out of school quickly. I want to visit the garage at my uncle’s house.”
Valeria was speechless. She watched helplessly as her precious son completely ignored her and climbed into the front passenger seat of the man’s car.
Valeria figured that Alex would be over the moon if she were to tell him that Hackett was his biological father. Alex would probably have no problem at all acknowledging Hackett as his father.
“Alex, why did you get into the car just like that? Don’t you have something to say to Mommy?”
Valeria crossed his arms and walked to the car window. She looked at her mischievous son inside the car.
“Bye, Mommy. I’ll be good and play with the children in kindergarten.” When he said this, Alex did not even look up at Valeria. He was completely attracted by the sports car.
Valeria was speechless.
Ella could tell that Valeria was angry. Ella said, “It’s just how children are, especially boys who like sports cars.”
Hackett walked up to her. “I’ll be in charge of sending Alex to and from school for the next few days. I’ll send him back to you when you get home from work.”
Of course, Hackett wanted to keep his son in the manor for the next few days. But Valeria would never agree. It was better to take it slow.
Valeria looked unhappy. “Hackett, I’m warning you. Don’t share any of your strange thoughts with my son for the next few days, or I won’t let you off!”
If it weren’t for the fact that she had too many cases recently, Valeria wouldn’t have let Hackett take care of the child.
“What do you mean by strange thoughts?” The man raised his eyebrows slightly.
Valeria snorted softly. “Don’t let the baby develop vanity, don’t spoil him, and don’t say those strange things to the child, such as getting married.”
The man’s smile was intense as his gaze followed the little ghost in the car. His voice was lazy. “Yes, I understand.”
Then, Hackett got into the car and closed the door. He started the car and drove away slowly.
Valeria stood on the spot and watched the car leave. She felt melancholic and could not help but sigh. “Why do I feel that my baby is getting further and further away from me? I shouldn’t have let him know that the child exists. But this is not something I can control…”
Just like that night, everything was so coincidental, as if it was written in destiny,
“Don’t think too much. You raised Alex from a young age. He will always be the closest to you,” Ella comforted Valeria.
For the rest of the day, Valeria worked in the law office, meeting a few clients in between.
Soon, night fell. She glanced at the time. Since she was done with her work, she might as well go to the manor to pick up her baby.

Chapter 135
The longer her baby stayed with Hackett, the more jealous she would be.

Just as she packed her things, picked up her bag, and was about to walk out of the office, Keith was about to knock on the
door.
“Oh? Are you done with your work?”
“Yeah, I just finished and was about to get off work,” Valeria said.
Keith smiled. “Then let’s go have dinner with my parents. They’ve made a reservation tonight. And I’m done with my work.”
“Huh? Tonight? I didn’t prepare anything. I didn’t even change my clothes.” Valeria looked at her professional attire. Was it appropriate to meet Keith’s parents like this?
“It’s okay. My parents don’t care about these things. They understand the nature of our work. It’s just a simple dinner.”
Valeria was in a difficult position. To be honest, she was quite repulsed and did not want to go, but…
“Alright… Then I’ll call my son and tell him that I’ll be home late Valeria wanted to report to the little brat. What if he started causing trouble at Hackett’s again?
“Okay.”
In fact, Hackett took the opportunity to cultivate a father–son relationship with Alex. Keith did not want to stop that.
If Hackett could snatch the child’s custody, Keith would not mind. After all, Alex was Hackett’s biological son.
When he married Valeria in the future, they would have their own children.
However, Keith would never let Valeria know about this. If Valeria knew, she would be hesitant to marry him.
At the same time, at the James Manor.
Hackett was showing Alex around the garage. The little guy was so happy that he ran around like a happy puppy that had run out of control. Hackett could not catch the boy at all.
“Wow, Hackett, your garage is so cool. There are so many cars. Will I have them when I grow up?”
This was the dream of all men, even this three–year–old baby.
“Of course, these are all yours in the future.” Hackett leaned against the hood of one of the sports cars and watched the little kid run around. Hackett felt an inexplicable sense of satisfaction.
This feeling was probably fatherly love, right?
His phone suddenly began to vibrate.
Hackett took a look. It was Valeria. Was she that worried about him taking care of the child?
He picked up the phone. “Why? Are you worried?”
Valeria’s voice came from the phone. “Of course I’m worried. You’ve never taken care of a child before. Do you know what -time he drinks milk, what time he goes to the toilet, and what time he goes to bed?”
The man frowned slightly. He indeed didn’t know. He coughed. Then tell me. I’m all ears.”
“Forget it. You won’t understand even if I tell you. Leave it to the nanny. Your nanny will understand. Give the phone to my baby. I want to talk to him.”
