Chapter 188
As Valeria helplessly watched Hackett walk towards them step by step, she held her breath.
She could clearly see the burning rage in Hackett’s eyes.…………
But now that Alex was still here, he probably wouldn’t lose his temper….
At this moment, it was time for Valeria to have her boarding pass checked. The staff smiled and reminded her, “Ma’am, please show your boarding pass
Boarding? Could she still board the plane? How could Hackett let her leave?
“Never mind, let the people behind me go first.”
Valeria pulled Alex to the side, and the line behind then cominged to have the tickets checked.
Hackett’s tall figure approached Valeria, but he did not look at her. Instead, he looked directly at Alex, who was beside her.
“Alex, what are you doing at the airport? Where are you going?
Hackett’s every word hit Valeria’s heart hard. She could not help but tighten her grip on Alex.
Alex looked up. “Mommy, my hand hurts. Why are you pinching me…
Hackett also frowned and finally looked at her pale face. “Why are you pinching him? Can his hands withstand your pinching?” he questioned her.
Valeria subconsciously let go of her son’s small–hand. Looking down at her son guiltily, she said, “I’m sorry. Mommy didn’t do it on purpose.”
“It’s alright. I will always forgive you, Mommy.” Alex revealed a sweet smile.
Valeria couldn’t help but smile, almost forgetting her current predicament.
The airport buzzed with people, and the overhead announcements continually urged Valeria to board.
Valeria lowered her eyes in embarrassment. She did not dare to meet Hackett’s gaze, afraid that she would be killed by his
stare.
After Hackett Alex’s words, his heart suddenly tightened. He did not say anything else, bent down, and carried him.
“Are you hungry?”
“Yes, but Mommy said that she would bring me to dinner after we arrive, Alex said.
Hackett picked up his son easily with one hand and said. “Your mommy doesn’t have to go on a business trip or take a plane. Let’s go to eat now! What do you want to eat?”
As Hackett spoke, he carried his son and turned to leave.
Valeria followed behind Hackett silently. She knew that she should not say anything at the moment, for he would only
blame her.
Hackett probably even wanted to tear her into pieces.
Hackett placed his son in the back seat, then opened the passenger side door for her, giving her a glance and signaling her to
get in.

Chapter 188
way she could escape Valeria hesitated for a second before sitting down, knowing that there was no way she could escape
Along the way, Hackett and Valeria did not speak, and the two of them did not interact at all. Meanwhile, Valeria looked our of the window guiltily.
Only Alex was chattering away, and while Hackett drove, he occisionally responded, playing along with his son and listening to his childish tales,
Hackett brought Valeira and his son to the restaurant for dinner and prepared to send them home.
As for Alex, he was sleepy after eating. He was hugged by Hacker and fell asleep on his broad shoulder. With his mouth slightly open, his breathing was even.
Now, Valeria felt even more flustered. At first, Alex was helping lighten the atmosphere, but now that he had fallen asleep, the vibe was more than awkward.
Hackett gently placed his son in the back seat of the car and gently closed the door.
He turned around and looked at Valeria, who was standing there. He said in a deep voice, TIl send you home. It’s getting late. It’s time to sleep.
“Oh…
Hackett opened the car door like a gentleman again. This time, Valeria did not approach him but stared at him.
Hackett asked, “What’s wrong?”
“Don’t you have anything you want to say to me?” This wasn’t right, and this wasn’t Hackett’s style. Under normal circumstances, he would have flown into a rage and even shouted at her.
Hackett answered, “No, I don’t. You should go back home. It is getting late.”
Valeria grabbed his arm. “You’re obviously angry. Aren’t you angry that I wanted to run away with your son? I know you are choked with anger and want to shout at me. Why are you so calmn now? Alex is already asleep, so you can vent your anger on
Hackett was left speechless and frowned slightly. Was this how Valeria saw him? Was he an unreasonable, cruel, and ill- tempered man in her eyes?
Hackett suddenly put on a smile. “Didn’t you hear what your son said? He will always forgive you. He has already forgiven
you.
What right do I have to be angry?”
Valeria was stunned.
What did he mean?
So he was not angry at her because of her
Cher son?
Looking at her puzzled gaze, Hackett continued. “If you don’t want to be separated from your son, then you’d better stay by my side. Only by staying by my side can I protect the two of you. If you escape overseas, then it’s hard to say if you and Alex can stay together.”
You mean grandpa… Valeria blinked her eyes as she felt flustered.
“That’s right. Even if you escape overseas, Grandpa can still find you. If that happens, you won’t be able to control the situation. He will definitely take Alex away. You have no relatives overseas, so how are you going to find him? You have to know that if you stay here, I can still make sure that you two will not be apart
Valeria snorted unhappily. “Even if I don’t remarry, can Alex still be with me forever? Will Grandpa allow it?”

Hackett’s expression turned sour as if he was getting upset. “Do you seriously not want to remarry me? Is it that painful?
