Chapter 185
The five–hour meeting finally ended late at night.
Everyone stretched and walked out of the conference room.
Hackett also stood up. “Mr. James, do you want to have a drink with us?” an executive beside him took the initiative to invite
him.
“No, I will skip tonight. I got other plans already, but enjoy your night
He was eager to retum home and wanted to see Valeria and his son as soon as possible.
After not seeing them for two days, he missed them.
With a smile on his face, Hackett left the conference room and walked towards the elevator.
Tyler, who was waiting outside the conference room, was already asleep. When he heard footsteps, he instantly opened his eyes and stood up. “Mr. James, where are you going now?”
“Drive me to River Valley. I want to see Valeria and Alex.
“Yes.”
Tyler glanced at the time. It was almost midnight, and his mind was growing groggy from the nap.
He patted his cheek to keep himself awake, for he had to drive later.
However, what Hackett did not know was that Valeria was packing her luggage at home and preparing to take their son to the airport.
She could not wait to leave this country.
Meanwhile, he was looking forward to arriving at River Valley.
“Mommy, why are you packing? Are we going on a trip?” Alex asked while holding the milk boule.
He had already seen his mommy packing her suitcase for an hour. Were they going on a trip?
Valeria hurriedly packed the luggage and looked up at her son, who was squatting in front of her “We are going to the airport. Alex, why don’t you go to ask Ella to help you get dressed? Move! Move! Move! Otherwise, we might miss the flight”
“Are we flying? Where are we going?” Alex asked curiously.
“Yes, yes, yes. We are taking the plan. Go to change your clothes, Valeria said without looking up. Her mind was filled with thoughts about whether there was anything important that he had not taken.
Ella walked in with Alex’s clothes and picked him up. Alex, let me help you change, and you can finish your milk late alright?”
Valeria heaved a sigh of relief when she finally finished packing everything. She was so tired that he lay on the bed.
It suddenly came to her mind that she should call Keith, for it would not be nice to leave without telling him anything.
She picked up her phone and hesitated for a moment. She finally dialed Keith’s number, and he picked up immediately.
Keith’s slightly surprised voice came from the phone. “Valeria? I did not expect to get a call from you,” he said.
Chapter 183
Valeria had indeed not taken the initiative to contact him for many days, and she had even avoided him in the law office.
“Keith. I want to tell you something. I’m sorry, I… want to leave this place.”
“What do you mean by that? Do you want to leave? Where are you going?
“I want to go back to Emmerick with Alex. After I leave this time, might not come back. I’m sorry, I might have to go back on my word with the law office.”
On the other end of the phone, Keith was anxious. “Why are you leaving just like that? Did something happen? Where are you now? Let’s meet before you leave. Even if you want to leave you have to hand over your work. You still have many cases on hand. You just became James Group’s legal consultant. How can you leave just like that?”
“I know, I know, but I can’t care so much now. There are some reasons. Forgive me. I cannot tell you why, but I really have to
go
Valeria knew that she had let Keith down. He had hired her from abroad with a high salary, but she had left before she could do anything for the law office. She was ashamed of herself.
“Where are you? I’ll come to see you.”
“Please don’t, Keith. I have made up my mind. I’m sorry”
With that, Valeria hung up the phone. She knew that this was not right, but she cared more about Alex and wanted to keep him by her side.
And now, Barron had gone too far, wanting to take the kid away from her.
At this time, Ella had also changed the child’s clothes.
“Valeria, it’s about time. Your have to leave right now. I won’t go to the airport to send you off so as not to attract attention. T stay at home, Ella said.
Valeria suddenly felt like crying. She went forward and hugged Ella, her eyes filled with tears.
There were still people who made her feel warm when she returned to the country this time, such as Ella…
“Ella, if I successfully leave the country, we might not see each other again in the future. Promise me that you will take care of yourself
Ella hugged her and said in a choked voice, “Then I hope we will not meet again. I hope you can escape successfully.” She couldn’t help but laugh. “What a beautiful blessing. Alright, we have to leave now. I’ll video call you often.”
“Okay, have a safe trip. Take care of Alex and yourself.”
“Yeah.”
Valeria took one last look at the house. This was Hackett’s territory, and the home was always marked with his presence..
w she felt about Hackett…
At this moment, she could not describe how sh
However, no feeling was more important than her son. After four years, she didn’t want anything else. She just wanted to keep the most important person, Alex, by her side.
Valeria held Alex’s hand and pulled up the suitcase. “Alex, let’s go
“Mommy, why are we flying? Where are we going? You didn’t even tell me…”

Alex was held in her hand and kept nagging adorably.
Valeria ignored him. Since he could not explain it clearly, she might as well pretend not to hear him.
