Chapter 184
Alex said very seriously, “Papi brought me to see Grandpa. He even said that Grandpa is living in that photo. It’s so scary..”
Valeria’s expression was a little complicated.
Why would Hackett’s grandfather say this to a child? Alex was only three years old. Of course, he didn’t know what death was. He only felt that it was terrifying.
Valeria handed the milk bottle to the baby. “Alex, here is your milk” Then, she walked towards the balcony.
Alex then quietly drank the milk.
Valeria and Hackett were both on the balcony.
Hackett couldn’t take it anymore. He called his grandfather again. When the call went through, he didn’t wait for Barron to speak and directly scolded him, “Barron James, what are you trying to do? Why are you telling such nonsense to a three- year–old child? Are you trying to scare the child out of his wits?”
He directly called out his grandfather’s name, which had never happened before.
On the other end of the phone, Barron was obviously stunned. After a long time, he shouted into the phone, “You little brat, you have a death wish, huh? How dare you call your grandfather by his name? Who do you think you are to call me by my
name?
Barron had not expected his grandson to call him by his full name one day. He was dumbfounded for a long time.
“What about you? Don’t you think you’ve gone too far? Alex is just a kid. He knows nothing! Why did you say things to scare him?”
山
Hackett was genuinely angry. In the past, no matter what Grandpa had done, he believed it had been for his own good sur now, he was rage.
“Did I introduce the child to his grandfather just to frighten him? Shouldn’t he know who his grandfather is?”
Hackett heard his grandfather’s stubborn tone on the phone and hung up, for he knew that it was impossible to communicate with him.
He decided that he couldn’t let the child go to his grandfather’s place anymore. Barron was constantly instilling strange ideas in the child, and it might scare him badly.
It was pretty quiet. Valeria, who came to the balcony, had heard the whole conversation.
Valeria realized that Barron could be frighteningly stubborn. If things continued this way, she feared that one day he might actually kidnap Alex, and she might not be as lucky to find her son again next time.
She couldn’t help but clench her fists. An idea suddenly appeared in her heart, and she wanted to escape with her son.
She had regretted
inging Alex back to Creyque. She might have as well stayed overseas, and the James family would have never known about Alex. Like this, no one would try to take her son away from her.
Valeria stared at the man’s back for a while, turned around, and returned to the bedroom.
Meanwhile, Hackett stood on the balcony in frustration. If this continued, Valeria and his son would never come back to
him.
However, his grandfather was so stubborn. How should he deal with the relationship between these people…
Chapter 181
He lit a cigarette and held it between s
lips. He looked into the distance, thinking about something.
He stayed on the balcony for quite a while.
In the evening. Alex’s condition gradually recovered.
He had forgotten what he had experienced at Papi’s place and began to jump around again.
Something happened at the company, so Hackett had to go back and deal with it urgently.
“I have something to do at the company. I gotta go,
I
Call me if you need anything
Valeria nodded. “Alright, I’ll call you if anything happens.”
What she wanted to do now was to leave the country with her son
When Hackett saw her calm expression, he had a strange feeling in his heart that he could not describe.
He added, “I might not be able to come over in the next two days. If there’s anything, you must call me. By the way, maybe it’s better to keep Alex next to you and not bring him to kindergarten for the time being. Grandpa might think of a way to take him away!”
Valeria’s heart skipped a beat. In fact, she had already expected that Barron would not let the matter rest. After all, Alex was the James family’s kid.
“Yes, sure. I’ll take a few days to stay at home with Alex. Don’t worry.”
So, Hackett James left feeling relieved, but little did he know that Valeria was already concocting an escape plan.
The moment the door closed, the smile on Valeria’s face instantly disappeared..
Then, she took out her phone and started to book flight tickets, for she couldn’t stay for a second longer. All she wanted was to leave with Alex.
If Barron hid the child again, she might have a mental breakdown.
Ella walked out of the kitchen and asked, “Valeria, what do you want to eat tonight?”
Ella walked over and saw that Valeria was booking flight tickets to another country, which made her puzzled. “Valeria, are you going on a business trip?”
“No, I want to escape with Alex,” Valeria said without looking up. Then, she quickly tapped the screen with her fingertips and booked two tickets.
“What? What do you mean by that?”
Valeria looked up at Ella in front of her. “Ella, I might move to another country with Alex. Forgive me fornot being able to tell you the reason, but we are leaving.”
For a moment, Ella did not know how to react. Although she did not want to say goodbye to them, she did not ask for the
reason.
“Yes, I think you have your own reasons for doing this, just like want a divorce. It’s just that… are you sure you can leave? I feel that your ex–husband won’t agree to you leaving, not to mention that you are planning to bring Alex with you…”
This was exactly what Valeria was worried about. She smiled faintly and said. “That’s why I said escape. Remember not to tell anyone, or I will be trapped here forever”
Valeria knew that the chances of her escaping were very small. However, she had to give it a try. Maybe she would be able to
