Chapter 41
After hearing Hackett’s words, Cheryl began to mumble in her heart.
“Someone saw Valeria go to the gynecology department for the abortion, so could the little boy I saw last night not be Hackett’s son?
“However, his appearance and expression were really similar to those of Hackett’s”
She still did not dare to make a rash decision. She had to have a paternity test conducted before she could feel at ease.
“Well, Hackett. I want to go to your bedroom. I seemed to have lost an earring when I was in your bedroom last time. I borrowed it from the brand owner, so I have to return it. Can I go in and look for it?”
Cheryl casually made up an excuse so that she could enter Hackett’s bedroom to collect some of his hair.
At this moment, Hackett, who was frustrated, had no time to care about her thoughts. He casually replied, “Up to you.”
“Thank you!”
Cheryl turned around and walked toward the elevator, for Hackett’s bedroom was on the fourth floor.
After entering the elevator, she stole a glance at Hackett in the living room. He seemed to be deep in thought. He probably wouldn’t return to the bedroom soon, so she would have enough time.
The elevator door clanged open.
Cheryl walked straight to the bedroom. After entering it, she closed the door.
Then, she put on the gloves she had prepared in advance. With an evidence bag, she began to collect hair in the bedroom.
It was not easy to collect Hackett’s hair in the James Manor. Afterall, there were servants cleaning this place every day. Hackett was a clean freak, so there was not a speck of dust anywhere.
eryl searched Hackett’s bed thoroughly but couldn’t find a single strand of hair. Then, she went to the bathroom and ally found a strand of hair in an inconspicuous corner.
She carefully picked it up and put it in the evidence bag,
Next, she needed to collect the little boy’s hair, which was the hardest part.
Then she would use their hair for a paternity test, and the truth would be revealed.
Emerald Garden.
On the way back home, Alex was so tired that he fell asleep.
Keith carried the sleeping Alex home.
Valeria pushed open the bedroom door for Keith. The two of them gently placed Alex on the bed and quietly left the bedroom.
Then, Valeria felt a little embarrassed.
Of course, Keith could understand her embarrassment. He slowly said, “Even if you’re unwilling to marry me, we’re still colleagues and friends. There’s no need for us to be so distant, right?”
She smiled and nodded.

Chapter 41
Jepson told me that you were looking for an apartment. What happened? Are you uncomfortable about living here?”
“Nothing. I can’t stay here anymore because of some personal reasons. I want to move to another place.”
She didn’t want to mention Ben. She didn’t even want anyone else to know that she had such a despicable father.
Keith probably guessed her concerns and said, “How about this? I have a vacant villa in Starry Bay. I’ll lend it to you for the time being. You can move out after finding a suitable apartment. How do you like it?”
She didn’t know what to say for a moment.
It was a good idea, but she was already too embarrassed to trouble Keith again.
ove to my
my villa.
Seeing that she was silent, Keith added, “If you’re really embarrassed, then pay some rent. If you don’t move nobody else will live in it. It’s not bad to earn some money with it‘
“All right, I accept your kind offer. But I’ll pay the rent, and you’ll have to accept it.”
“Okay, let’s do it this way. I’ll leave now. You should go to bed early
Keith turned around and left.
After the door closed, the smile on Valeria’s face gradually disappeared.
She leaned against the door and slowly slid down to the carpet. She hugged her knees with her arms. She was really tired now. After experiencing so many things, her mind was such a mess.
The next day.
Early in the morning, everything seemed to have returned to normal.
After waking up, Valeria washed her face, rinsed her mouth, got dressed, and made breakfast for Alex.
As the nanny was on leave today, Valeria needed to take Alex to kindergarten.
xx, can you be faster? You’re going to be late.”
She had already changed her shoes, but Alex, who was sitting at the dining table, was still chewing his bread slowly. He did not look anxious at all.
“Got it, Mommy.”
Alex jumped off the dining chair and walked to the entrance. He changed his shoes and carried his small school bag, preparing to go to kindergarten.
“Mommy, I’m ready!”
Valeria held his liule hand and walked out of the apartment.
She drove Alex out of the living quarter, but she did not know that there was a car waiting for her outside the living quarter. It quickly followed Valeria’s car.
Soon, Valeria’s car arrived at the kindergarten.
Valeria helped Alex to get out of the car and took him into the kindergarten. Then, she left in peace.
Everything was the same. Nothing had changed
However, Hackett said yesterday, “I don’t want to see you again.”

Chapter 41
Valeria said in her heart, Tinust have hurt Hackett’s high self–esteem. He probably won’t pester her anymore.
“This is good, too. Isn’t this the life I want?
“But why am I feeling a void in my heart?”
After Valeria drove away, the door of the car parked nearby opened and Cheryl got out.
The purpose of Cheryl’s coming here today was to collect the boy’s hair.
