Marriage Resumption (Valeria and Hackett) novel Chapter 148

Chapter 148 

Hackett pretended to be calm. “It’s not a big deal. Someone jumped off the rooftop of this building to commit suicide. After that, there were rumors about supernatural incidents happening here. However, you probably don’t believe in these things, so it should be fine” 

Valeria was a little speechless. 

She thought, “Why didn’t this bastard say so earlier!” 

She would have preferred to move somewhere else if Hackett had told her this earlier. However, now that she was already here and it was already so late, it was too late to change houses. At least, she would have to stay here tonight. 

Why did she feel like she had walked into a trap? 

Valeria cleared her throat. “As a lawyer, I don’t believe in those things, of course. Supernatural incidents are all caused by human fear.” 

She said that even though she was really afraid of these things. 

Of course, Hackett could tell that she was putting on a brave front. A smile appeared on his lips as he slowly stood up. “Then I’ll leave first. Call me anytime if you need anything. I’ll be working overtime at the company tonight, so I can be here in a few minutes.” 

“Alright, I got it.” Valeria found it strange that Hackett did not insist on staying. Could it be that he had really changed? 

She followed the 

e man out the door. 

Hackett walked to the door and suddenly thought of something. He turned around and said to her, “By the way, there are fresh ingredients in the fridge. Make dinner for the child later. Don’t order takeout all the time. It’s not healthy.” 

“Alright.” She nodded. 

Then, Hackett left the house. The moment she closed the door, Valeria relaxed. 

She had been moving houses non–stop during this time. It was very tiring. She hoped that she could stay longer this time. 

At this moment, Alex, who had finished touring the entire house, finally came out. 

“Mommy, it’s so fun here. Can we stay here forever?” Alex’s face was full of anticipation. He also hated moving. He had to spend a long time adapting to the environment every time he moved 

Valeria lay on the sofa and said lazily, “Alex, what do you want to eat tonight? I will make it for you.” 

“Hmm… I want spaghetti.” Alex thought seriously for a while. 

This little brat really liked to cat spaghetti. He was similar to her this aspect. She thought that eating spaghetti was the easiest and most fuss–free way to fill her stomach. 

“Okay, let me rest for a while. I will make spaghetti for you later 

-Alex picked up the remote control and turned on the television. He found a cartoon to watch. 

“Mommy, is this Hackett’s house?” 

“That’s right.” Valeria rolled her eyes and sat up. “Alex, are you really going to ignore Hackett in the future? Are you going to ignore him even if his family has an amusement park and cars in their garage?

Alex nodded. “Hackett is so scary. I don’t want to talk to him anymore. He’s so fierce.

For some reason, Valeria was a little happy. If that was the case, it would be very difficult for Hackett to snatch custody of Alex from her. Moreover, Alex only had eyes for her again. 

Watch your cartoon then. Remember, sit further away. I’ll make you some spaghetti. Valeria smiled as she got up and walked into the kitchen. 

At the same time, Hackett returned to the car downstairs and sat in the back seat. He closed his eyes and seemed to be resting. 

“Mr. James, are we really going to do this? I’m afraid we’ll scare Ms. Sharp and Mr. Alex… Tyler could not help but say. Although Hackett was just trying to ease the relationship between him and Alex, this was going a little too far 

“I can’t care less anymore. Have you done what I asked you to do? 

“It’s done. Everything is set up. Just press the switch and it will start.” 

As Tyler spoke, he handed Hackett a tablet computer. Last night, he had set the apartment up according to Hackett’s request. It was so that Hackett could play a hero rescuing a damsel in distress and save his son tonight. 

Hackett took the tablet computer. It was monitoring everything in the house in real–time. At this moment, the little brat was sitting on the sofa watching television while Valeria was cooking dinner in the kitchen. 

The man raised his wrist and looked at the time. It was still very early. It was only past eight in the evening. It was not time 

yet. 

“I’ll sleep for a while, Wake me up around eleven o’clock.” The man put the tablet computer aside and leaned against the car seat with his eyes closed. 

Tyler replied, “Alright.” 

However, Tyler sighed in his heart as he thought, “Why does he have to do this? Both Valeria and Alex will be traumatized if he really scared them.” He did not know what Hackett was thinking. 

After eating the spaghetti, Valeria helped Alex shower and wash up, preparing to coax him to sleep. 

It wasn’t until past ten o’clock that Alex finally fell asleep 

Alex would not be able to sleep every time he moved to a new place. Valeria had to coax him for a long time before he fell asleep. 

Seeing that Alex was in a deep sleep, Valeria quietly got up and left. She also planned to take a hot shower and sleep 

In the bathroom. 

Valeria lay in the bathtub and took a bath. After pouring essential oil to relieve her fatigue, she closed her eyes and almost fell asleep. 

It was almost eleven o’clock. 

Suddenly, a small sound rang out from the house, waking Valeria, who had almost fallen asleep. 

Valeria leaned against the bathtub in a daze, thinking that she had heard wrongly. However, the sound gradually became clearer. 

She could not help but feel nervous. She woke up completely ang walked out of the bathtubs. She picked up the towel beside her and wrapped it around herself.

This 3000–square–feet house was quite large. Valeria’s first reaction was to go to the room to look at the sleeping Alex. 

soundly. 

She pushed open the door and was relieved to find that Alex was sleeping so 

Suddenly, a series of strange tapping sounds rang out from the living room. Valeria’s nerves tensed up again. 

Valeria came to the living room, but she couldn’t hear anything.
