Marriage Resumption (Valeria and Hackett) novel Chapter 205

Chapter 205 

At River Valley. 

Valeria and Alex were eating at the dining table. Alex was enjoying his meal by taking huge bites one after another. 

On the other hand, Valeria had lost her appetite. Her mind was filled with the accusations that Mandy and Ernest had against 

her. 

Ella brought chili soup over. “Hurry up and eat while your food still warm. It’s easy to get a stomachache when you eat cold food.” 

“Okay, I’ll eat.” Valeria forced a smile and took a bite of her food, 

At this moment, the doorbell rang. 

Ella took off her apron. “You guys eat. I’ll open the door.” 

Then, she walked towards the entrance. As Ella reached the door, she saw Hackett through the video feed of the doorbell. She was a little surprised. 

She looked back at Valeria and lowered her voice. “Valeria, it’s your ex–husband, Mr. James. Do you want me to open the door?” 

Perhaps Valeria didn’t want to see Hackett as of now. 

Valeria’s hand that was holding a fork paused for a moment and said, “Open the door.” 

Alex, who was eating at the side, suddenly stopped. He looked at Valeria with a strange look and said, “Mommy, I want to 

pee.” 

“Go to the bathroom.” 

Alex put down the fork, jumped off the chair, and went straight to the bathroom. It was unknown if he really wanted to pee or just used it as an excuse to avoid seeing Hackett 

Ella opened the door. It was surely Hackett who was standing outside. His black suit made him look extremely gloomy. 

Why are y 

you here? Are you done with your family matter for now? Valeria put down the fork and walked over. 

Hackett walked into the house with a gloomy expression. “Yes, where’s Alex? I’m here to see him.” 

“Is he here just to see Alex?” 

Valeria had this thought inside but did not say it out loud. 

“He just went to the bathroom,” Valeria said. 

“Okay,” Hackett acknowledged. 

Then, the atmosphere between the two of them became awkward right away. Ella stood at the side and felt even more -awkward. She felt like finding a hole in the ground and just hiding in there to avoid being in this situation. 

Hackett walked to the sofa and sat down without saying a word as if he was simply just waiting for Alex to come out. Valeria also sat on the sofa with him. There was no sound at all if the air had frozen. 

After some time, Valeria asked, “Have you had dinner? Do you want to join us? Alex might take a long time. He’s just

dawdling.” 

“It’s okay. I’m not hungry. I just came to see Alex 

9% 70% 

Meanwhile, Alex was hiding in the bathroom and did not want to come out. No one knew what this little guy was doing in the bathroom. 

During the waiting. Hackett’s phone kept vibrating. Because it was too quiet in the room, Valeria could hear it clearly. 

After another ten minutes, Alex still did not come out. 

Hackett frowned in displeasure. He raised his wrist to check the time on his watch and said in a deep voice, “Are you sure Alex is in the bathroom? Why is he taking so long?” 

It had indeed been too long. More than half an hour had passed 

Valeria said. “I’ll go see what this kid is doing. It’s been a long time. I don’t know why he hasn’t come out yet.” 

Valeria stood up petite. 

and walked towards the bathroom. Hackett also stood up and followed behind her, making her look so 

Outside the bathroom, Valeria knocked on the door. “Alex, what are you doing inside? Why aren’t you coming out? Hackett…. Your father is waiting for you. 

Hackett stood at the side and frowned. He felt that Alex was not simply just taking a long time using the bathroomt 

This kid didn’t seem to want to see him. It was as if he was deliberately avoiding him. Hackett hoped that he was just overthinking. 

any times Valeria knocked on the door, Alex refused to open the door. “Mommy, I want to poop. Don’t 

No matter how many 

come in, don’t!” 

But it had been too long…. 

Valeria looked up at the man and saw a hint of doubt in his eyes 

“Alex, what are you doing? Come out!” Valeria had already sensed that this kid was lying. 

I’ll come out later. I’m busy right now.” 

What a funny thing to say, Busy? What could he be busy with in the bathroom? 

Hackett seemed to have understood what this little brat was thinking. He held Valeria’s hand which was about to continue knocking on the door. 

Never mind. I’ll come and see him another day. Give him some time” 

Hackett looked at the bathroom door and said in a deep voice, Alex, you can continue to just call me Hackett if you don’t want to call me father, Come out and finish your food, otherwise, you’ll be too hungry to steep tonight.” 

With that, Hackett turned around and left without any reluctance 

He wasn’t in the mood to linger at this house. There were too many things to do, and he needed to see some minority shareholders next- 

Valeria looked at his cold and tired figure and followed him. She called out to him, “Hackett…” 

The man stopped when he heard her voice and turned around. What? Do you have something to say?”
