Chapter 99
“Ella, you’re so nice. You’re still taking care of me like when I was young. I’m embarrassed, You took care of me when I was young. And now you still have to take care of my son.”
Valeria suddenly felt that Ella was like a mother. She was very warm and friendly.
“By the way, Valeria, I’ve always wanted to ask you. Where’s the child’s father? Are you divorced?” Ella had always been curious but couldn’t find a chance to ask.
Valeria’s smile gradually disappeared. She sighed. “Yes, we’re divorced. It’s been four years. Alex hasn’t seen his father since he was young, but he’s always yearned for a father. Sometimes, feel sorry for him.”
She looked toward the living room off the kitchen. Alex was engrossed in the anime.
Ella revealed a sorry look. “I see. Children need their father’s company. If possible, let him meet his father. When I sent him to kindergarten these few days, Alex always looked envious when he saw other fathers sending their children.
These words made Valeria’s heart tighten again.
Recently, Alex rarely mentioned to her that he wanted to find a father, nor did he say he had to make Keith his father. She thought that children were like this and would forget after a while.
She didn’t expect that… he was still so envious of others for having a father.
Ella added. “Your son is so sensible. I asked him why he didn’t tell you he wanted a father. He said you had difficulties, and it was not easy for you. He said those men were not worthy of you. He had a suitable candidate, but you didn’t like him. If you didn’t like him, then he didn’t like him either. He wanted you to be happy”
After Ella finished speaking, tears began to appear in Valeria’s eyes.
This kid knew quite a lot.
At least she didn’t dote on him in vain.
“I suddenly feel that I’m so insensible. Why am I not as sensible as a child…” Her voice began to choke.
Ella smiled and touched her shoulder. “I also envy you for having such a sensible son. A mother–son relationship that is two- way. Tsk tsk.”
A mother–son relationship that was two–way?
She couldn’t help but laugh out loud
Alex’s existence had indeed added a lot of hope to her dark life. At least for the past four years, she had relied on her baby to live.
She turned around and went to the living room. She walked to the sofa and hugged Alex, who was watching anime,

my, what are you doing? Don’t disturb me from watching anime.” Alex pushed her away with a look of disgust, his eyes never leaving the television screen.
Valeria was not angry. She lowered her head and kissed his chubby cheek. “Alex, what gift do you want? Mommy is free today, I’ll bring you to buy it.”
“Really? Mommy, don’t lie to me!” Alex’s eyes lit up.
“Of course. When have I ever lied to you?”

Chapter 99
Π
At this moment, the anime on the television suddenly stopped and began to play advertisements. Alex panicked. “Mominy, Mommy! I want to watch anime. I don’t want to watch commercials”
Valeria found the remote control and was about to turn off the advertisement. She muttered, “Why is there still. advertisement on television when I’m already a VIP now? It’s simply a scam…
Unexpectedly, Alex suddenly pointed at the person in the advertisement and shouted, “Mommy! It’s this woman! Bad
woman!”
Valeria looked at the advertisement on the television. It was an advertisement for a skincare product filmed by Cheryl.
She was confused. “Bad woman? Do you mean this woman in the advertisement? How does that make her a bad woman?”
“Mommy! It’s this bad woman who called your name outside the kindergarten and pulled my hair!”
What the fuck!
Valeria’s head instantly buzzed. She felt her scalp go numb as if it was about to explode.
“Wait… Are you saying that this woman in the advertisement shouted my name outside the kindergarten and pulled out your hair? Why did she pull out your hair!”
She suddenly remembered that some time ago, Alex had said that a bad woman pulled his hair in kindergarten.
At that time, she thought that the child was spouting nonsense. Who would pull his hair for no reason? It might be a fight between children. She did not expect it to be… Cheryl!
Alex’s dark grape–like eyes stared at the television very seriously He pointed at Cheryl in the advertisement. “It’s this bad woman. She even said that she knew you. I don’t know why she pulled my hair and ran away after pulling
Did she run away after pulling out his hair?
Why did she pull out the child’s hair?
Why was this strange behavior so terrifying when it was described by a child?
Valeria had goosebumps all over her body. Did this mean that Cheryl already knew of the child’s existence?
Suddenly, Valeria’s heart skipped a beat. Did she pull out his hair to do a paternity test? Did Cheryl want to confirm if the child was Hackett’s?
Her heart raced. She felt that she had guessed correctly.
At this moment, her phone rang.
Valeria originally wanted to hang up because she was not in the mood to answer the call now.
However, when she saw that it was a call from Cheryl’s phone, she hesitated for two seconds before pressing the answer button
