Chapter 398
Hence, the family of three returned to the manor.
After returning to the manor, the butler brought the little one away to play.
Previously, the little one had stayed in the manor for a period of time and was already familiar with the servants here. Moreover, everyone liked this mischievous little guy very much.
Valeria suddenly thought of something and looked at the man beside her. “By the way, is the DNA test result out?”
“Not yet. Are you hungry? I’ll get the servants to serve dinner.” Hackett deliberately changed the topic, as if he did not want to talk about this matter.
Although she sensed that something was amiss, she did not press on.
Hence, the two of them went to the dining room to eat. Hackett pulled out a chair for her to sit down.
“Where’s Alex? Call him over to eat with us.”
The nanny who was serving the dishes smiled and said, “Mr. Alex is having fun in the garden and doesn’t want to come back for dinner now. Let’s make another serving for him later.”
Valeria smiled and did not say anything.
“I’m a little busy these two days. If you’re bored, you can call your friend to come over to accompany you.”
“Yes, I know.”
Valeria looked up at the entire dining room. It felt like a lifetime had passed. When she returned here again, she was already remarried.
Now, she was the legitimate Mrs. James again.
“Let’s hold the wedding after I finish my work this time round,” Hackett suddenly said.
Valeria, who was eating, was stunned. “Wedding?”
“That’s right. Four years ago, you were looking forward to a wedding. Grandpa was also looking forward to it, but I didn’t make good on my promise for a long time. Now that we’re remarried, I have to give you the perfect wedding, of course.”
Hackett knew very well that any woman would want a perfect wedding to commemorate this life event.
However, Valeria did not feel like having the wedding anymore. Four years ago, she had indeed been waiting for the wedding. Now… Alex was already three years old and going to kindergarten. What was the point of holding a wedding now?
Seeing that she did not speak for a long time, the man asked again, “Why? You don’t want it?”
She smiled. “I just don’t think it’s necessary anymore.”
“Why not?”
Men and women had different mentalities. A woman wanted a wedding at her prime where she was most carefree, not now.
“There’s no reason. I’m just not looking forward to it anymore. Our child is already three years old. Do we still want to hold a wedding where Alex is our flower boy?” There was resentment in her tone.
To Hackett, it sounded like an accusation, as if she was complaining about what he had done back then.

Hackett pursed his lips and took a deep breath. Then, he said to her patiently. “There’s no need to say anymore. Since you can’t decide now, I’ll do as I see fit. In short, the wedding must be held. Your identity as Mrs. James must be made known to
everyone.”
As soon as he finished speaking, his phone vibrated.
Hackett picked up his phone and saw that it was Tyler. He picked up the call and his expression changed slightly after that.
Valeria did not know what Tyler said on the other end of the phone.
After the man hung up, he said, “I have something to deal with. Go to bed early with the child. You don’t have to wait up for me.”
Before Valeria could ask what was going on, the man had already stood up and walked out of the dining room. He seemed very anxious.
Did something happen?
Suddenly, she recalled that when she asked Hackett about the DNA test just now, his answer seemed a little perfunctory…
Could it be that there was a problem with the DNA test?
At that moment, Valeria’s phone rang. She came back to her senses and picked it up. It was a call from “Mr. Lawrence“. She didn’t really want to answer the call, but she was also a little curious about why Lawrence was calling.
In the end, she picked up the call and placed the phone to her ear. “Hello?”
Lawrence, who was on the other end of the line, smiled. “I didn’t expect you to dare to take my call. I heard you moved back to the manor. What does that mean? Are you two remarried?”
“So what if I am? If you only called to tell me this, I’m sorry. I don’t have time to chat with you.”
With that, she was about to hang up when the man on the phone said, “It’s useless.”
“What’s useless?” Valeria frowned slightly.
“No matter what you do, it’s useless. I have to take the child away even if I have to resort to lowly methods. Since you won’t listen to my kind advice, I can only use force.”
Valeria widened her eyes and gripped her phone tightly. “What are you doing?”
“You still don’t know? The results of the DNA test done by Hackett are also out. The child isn’t his. He’s probably doubting himself now. Perhaps in a few days, he’ll take the initiative to return the child to me.”
Valeria was shocked. She opened her mouth and did not come back to her senses for a long time.
She thought that she had heard wrongly. She thought, “What did Lawrence say just now? The DNA test result shows that the child isn’t Hackett’s? How is that possible?”
“You’re talking nonsense! Impossible! This child is his! Did you tamper with the results?”
The man on the phone laughed. “Why do you insist on lying to yourself? How many DNA tests have you done? Yet, you refuse to accept the reality. What’s the point? Is there any point in lying like this to a man?”
Valeria gripped her phone tightly and bit her lower lip. She didnt want to listen to him anymore and hung up.
She really felt that someone was trying to cause her trouble on purpose. How could so many DNA tests be fake?
