Marriage Resumption (Valeria and Hackett) novel Chapter 162

Chapter 162 

Valeria was in her office, working. 

She sat behind her desk, reading some case information. 

Suddenly, her phone rang. She glanced at it and saw that it was Hackett calling. 

Recently, Hackett rarely called her. It could be said that he rarely called her. Why did he suddenly call her? 

When she thought about how she had accidentally called the man last night, she felt embarrassed. 

Valeria hesitated for a few seconds before picking up the phone. A man’s deep and familiar voice came from the other end of the call. “Are you busy?” 

“Yes, I am at the law office. What’s the matter?” Why did she feel a little nervous talking to Hackett? What was going on with her? 

The man on the phone didn’t dwadle. “I’ll take Alex to the Stellar Park this afternoon. When we are done playing, I’ll send him back.” 

“Didn’t you say that you’ll accompany him after he finishes completing the puzzle? It’s not good for you to spoil the child like this. He’ll develop a habit in the future that you will give him anything he wants. He thinks that as long as you act coquettishly, you’ll agree to any of his requests…” 

Before Valeria could finish, Hackett interrupted her. “Didn’t you see the jigsaw? Alex has completed the jigsaw.” 

It was actually completed… 

Valeria was dumbfounded. 

When did this little brat become so determined? Usually, he would dawdle when she asked Alex to pack up a toy. Now, he actually completed the puzzle in two days? 

She didn’t say anything for a long time. The man on the phone said, “As long as you find the right method, the child can be very focused.” 

Valeria didn’t know what to say for a moment. Why did she feel that this person who had never taken care of a child before was more experienced than her? 

“Alright, then take him to Stellar Park and don’t let him play too long.” 

“Okay, got it.” 

The man seemed to be about to hang up when Valeria suddenly said, “I plan to take on legal consultant’s job. Are you surprised?” 

Hackett was stunned momentarily and replied, “It’s fine if you don’t want to take it. I won’t force you to do anything else.” 

Valeria smiled. “It’s because I know you won’t force me to do anything again, so I accepted it. Moreover, I need money to raise my son. The annual salary James Group shouldn’t be low, right?” 

“Of course, but you don’t have to worry about that. I’ll take responsibility.” 

It was easy for Hackett to raise a child. If he wanted to, he could raise countless orphanages. 

“I know. Then… send Alex back early tonight. Otherwise, he’ll have to wake up late again tomorrow morning.”

“Yeah.” 

Beep… Beep… 

After hanging up, Valeria leaned back in her swivel chair and let her imagination run wild.

Why did it feel like this brat Alex was getting more and more used to interacting with Hackett? It shouldn’t be long before the two of them would acknowledge each other as father and son. 

Hackett was indeed trying to conquer this little guy’s heart step by step. 

Soon, night fell… 

Valeria was about to go home after a busy day’s work. She wondered if Hackett had sent her baby back. 

That little brat must have been excited from playing. He might be so happy and chuckling all along. 

After packing her things, she picked up her bag and walked out of the office. She walked towards the elevator and bumped into Keith. She smiled and pressed the elevator button. 

Keith wanted to say something, but Sherri called again to urge him. 

He picked up the phone and couldn’t take it anymore. His tone was a little irritated. “Can you stop rushing me? I know. I’m coming over now!” 

On the other end of the phone, Sherri clearly did not expect the usually gentle and refined Keith to have such an irritable side. 

In the past, she had been in love with Keith for so many years, but he had never been impatient toward her once. Now, he actually… 

“Keith, I don’t mean to rush you. I’m just worried that something might happen on the way. I’m sorry…” 

Valeria, standing at the side, was shocked by Keith’s attitude. She had never seen Keith like this before. Why did she feel that Keith looked like a depressed person? 

With a ding, the elevator door slowly opened. 

Valeria smiled awkwardly and said, “I… will leave first. See you tomorrow.” 

Keith wanted to say something, but Valeria had already entered the elevator. 

After entering the elevator, Valeria heaved a sigh of relief. She felt that Keith’s condition was quite dangerous. He had been mentally tortured by Sherri. 

When Valeria returned home, he found Ella cooking dinner, but there was no sign of Alex. 

“Is Alex not back yet? Are you alone at home?” 

Ella popped her head out of the kitchen. “Yeah, I guess the father of the child will take the child to dinner too, so I only made dinner for the two of us. You didn’t eat too, did you?” 

“I haven’t eaten yet. I wonder when he will send the child back.” 

Why did she miss Alex so much every time Hackett took him away? She did not feel this way when she was around him usually. 

Ding ding!

Suddenly, the doorbell rang and the cute voice of Alex came from the video doorbell. “Mommy, open the door. We’re back! Mommy, open the door!”
