Marriage Resumption (Valeria and Hackett) novel Chapter 14

Chapter 14 

Before the teacher could explain, Valeria picked Alex up. She said angrily, “If the teachers at your school have the same. attitude as yours, then I’ll have to consider finding another kindergarten. I didn’t pay for my son to be scolded and mistreated.” 

With that, she carried her son away. 

Valeria carried Alex outside the school gate. Then she placed him on a bench by the roadside and gently patted his little head. 

“Alex, it’s not right for them to call you a bastard, but it’s also not right for you to use violence. Do you understand?” 

Alex sat on the bench, swinging his little legs. He looked absolutely adorable. 

He pouted and didn’t say anything. Then he snorted and turned his head away. 

Valeria chuckled in resignation. She said, “Alright. I know you’ve been wronged. Are you hungry? I will take you to eat something delicious.” 

“Mommy, I don’t want to go back to that kindergarten.” 

“Okay. I will find you a new kindergarten tomorrow, alright?” 

With a smile. Alex nodded happily and then hopped off the bench. He shouted, “I want to eat steak!” 

Valeria watched her son’s small figure and couldn’t help but feels pang of heartache. 

She thought inwardly, “When Alex was called a bastard by others he must have been hurt as well. 

“Should I consider finding a father figure for Alex? 

Then the night came. 

After returning home, Valeria bathed her son, dressed him in pajamas, and then carried him to bed. 

“Sweetie, look at your picture book for a little while. I’m going to take a shower,” Valeria said. 

“Okay.” 

Alex obediently took out a picture book to read by himself. However, as soon as Valeria entered the bathroom, he sneakily picked up the phone and dialed Keith’s number. 

The call was quickly answered. 

Keith, who was on the other end, asked in a warm and charming voice, “Valeria, why are you still up so late?” 

“Keith, it’s me.” 

Upon hearing the adorable voice of Alex, Keith chuckled and asked, “Hey, Alex. Why aren’t you asleep yet? Don’t you have to go to kindergarten tomorrow?” 

“Keith, can you be my mommy’s husband?” Alex asked seriously 

Alex had been admiring Keith for a long time. He thought that Keith was perfect in every way and an excellent fit for Valeria. 

But Valeria just didn’t seem to get it, and it was driving Alex crazy.

Chapter 14 

Keith smiled indulgently and asked, “Alex, do you want me to be your dad? 

“Yes. If you become my mommy’s husband and my dad, then everything will be perfect. Because you don’t have a baby or at wife anyway.” Alex blinked his big eyes, feeling convinced that he was making a lot of sense. 

At that moment, Valeria stepped out of the bathroom. She had overheard Alex’s words. 

“Alex, what nonsense are you talking about? Valeria walked over and immediately snatched the phone from Alex. 

Alex called out with a sad tone, “Mommy… 

“Go to sleep now. Keith is so busy. Why do you keep calling him Valeria admonished. 

After that. Valeria took her phone and went to the terrace. She held her phone to her ear and awkwardly explained. I’m sorry. This little troublemaker keeps secretly calling you. I hope he didn’t disturb your work.” 

“No problem at all. Don’t scold him,” Keith replied with a light laugh. 

“Well. Please don’t take what Alex said earlier seriously. Kids say the darndest things, you know.” 

Valeria knew she might not be a perfect match for Keith, nor had she thought about it 

In Valeria’s view, Keith was outstanding, and she was a divorced woman with a child. Valeria didn’t think she was a possible match for Keith. 

However, on the other end of the phone, Keith replied, “What if I told you I did take it seriously?” 

“What?” 

Valeria was momentarily stunned, not sure how to react. She thought inwardly, “What does he mean by that?” 

“Go to sleep. Goodnight. Ineed to get back to work, Keith said. 

“Well. Alright” 

Valeria hung up the phone. She still felt a bit bewildered, but then she chuckled in resignation. 

Valeria thought It must be a joke. In her view, there was no way someone like Keith could be interested in her. 

Soon, it was the day of Barron’s birthday celebration. 

At the law office, before Valeria could even finish her workday, she had received a call from Barron. 

She glanced at the caller ID and answered the phone. “Hello, Grandpa. 

“Valeria, I have a birthday celebration today, and you promised to come. You must be there. I’ll be waiting for your Barron 

said 

“Grandpa, I… 

“Don’t make excuses. You can’t even attend my birthday celebration? I’ve spoiled you for nothing” 

Valeria sighed and smiled. Then she replied, “Okay. Grandpa, l’be there on time.” 

“Good! I’ll be waiting for you” 

– 

After hanging up the phone, Valeria opened her office desk drawer and took out a black velvet box. 

This was a birthday gift she had intended to give Barron four years ago. But she never had the chance after the divorce. 

11:46 Wed, Oct 30 ti 

Chapter 14 

Now, it seemed like the perfect opportunity to give Barron this gift. 

Valeria planned to drop off the gift, make a quick appearance, and leave. 

Little did she know that Barron had set up a cunning trap with one goal in mind. He wanted to get her and Hackett to 

remarry. 

Then night came.
