Resumption 379
Valeria turned off her phone and climbed on the bed to soothe her panic.
She was determined not to go out for the next few days. Before Hackett came back, she would not go anywhere. If she were captured by Simon Lawrence the moment she went out, she would be in deep trouble.
She couldn't sleep well that night either. She kept thinking about what Simon had said. If it weren't for the positive result of the DNA test between Hackett and Alex, she would have suspected herself. She thought, "On the other hand, how on earth did Simon find out about me?
"I had nothing to do with Simon, so how did he inexplicably investigate me? Could it be that someone else was pulling the string behind the scenes?" Otherwise, she really could not figure it out. How could the influential Lawrence family not be able to do a thorough investigation on a person?
As she thought about it, she fell into a deep sleep and had a prolonged dream.
In her dream, Valeria saw Hackett and Simon fighting fiercely.
She wanted to stop them but could not move her legs to stand in front of the two men.
In her dream, Hackett was covered in blood as he roared at her, "Why did you betray me? Why?"
She tried her best to explain, but no sound escaped her lips. She was helpless.
""No... No!"
Valeria woke up from her dream with a cold sweat on her forehead. She then realized that what she had just experienced was a dream.
At this moment, Julia knocked on the door. "Miss Valeria, are you awake? Mr. Alex wants to see you."
Valeria slowly sat up, adjusted her pajamas, and got up to open the door.
The moment she opened the door, Alex pounced on her and hugged her legs tightly.
Valeria lowered her head and looked at her son's fair and tender face. Instantly, her motherly love exploded. She squatted down and asked, "Alex, what's wrong?"
"Mommy, I had a nightmare last night. I dreamed that Mommy didn't want Daddy and me anymore."
The more Alex spoke, the more aggrieved he became. He even threw himself into her arms, feeling distressed.
Valeria glanced at Julia standing at the side and instructed, "Go do your work first. I'll comfort him."
Julia nodded and left.
Then, Valeria carried Alex back to her room and coaxed him gently, "Don't be afraid. It's just a dream. How can Mommy not want you and Daddy? When Daddy comes back, the three of us will go to the amusement park to play, okay?" "No, I want to go to Stellar Park."
"Alright, I'll listen to you. Now, let's wash our faces and brush our teeth obediently. You still have to go to kindergarten, okay?"
Only then did Alex forget last night's dream and nod happily. "Okay, when will Daddy be back?"
"He should be back tomorrow night." It should be about time for his return.
Alex's face was full of anticipation. He was waiting for his father to return and bring him to Stellar Park to play. He was elated that his mother would go with them this time. 86%
After the mother and son were done cleaning up, Valeria carried him to the dining room downstairs. After breakfast, they would head to kindergarten.
Tyler was already waiting downstairs, but he still had no idea what had happened to Valeria last night.
"I'll go to Alex's school with you later."
"Okay."
Although Tyler did not know why Valeria said that, he still agreed
For the past few days, Tyler had been sending Alex to school. Today, Valeria looked a little strange.
After breakfast, Valeria and Alex got into the car. Tyler drove away from the Maddox's villa and could not help but ask, "You don't look too good. Are you feeling unwell?"
"No. By the way, before Hackett returns, you must protect Alex and..." She hesitated for a moment before adding, "Me."
Valeria was very afraid that Simon would find out about Alex. After all, he had already found her. It shouldn't be difficult to find her child.
Tyler frowned. "What happened?"
"I'll tell
you
after I get to the bottom of it. I can't explain it to you clearly now. Anyway, before Hackett returns to the country, let's not act rashly."
Valeria didn't want to provoke Simon either. Perhaps he had just mistaken her for someone else. She just needed to help him find the person he was looking for. There was no need for them to fight. Moreover, Simon knew Hackett. Perhaps the two families still had business dealings. She did not want to make things awkward.
She was not afraid because she had a clear conscience. She had nothing to do with Simon. He would find the truth sooner or later.
However, Valeria did not know that from the moment they left the Maddox's villa, a car had been following them from behind. But the driver kept their distance skillfully until Tyler did not notice them.
After sending Alex to kindergarten, Tyler drove Valeria back.
"Where are you going? To your
office?"
Recently, Valeria seemed to have been busy with her office. Unexpectedly, Valeria stated, "I'm not going anywhere. Send me home. I'm not going anywhere until Hackett returns to Creyque I'm going to stay put at home." Tyler was stunned for a moment before nodding.
After they left, the car that was lurking around slowly stopped outside the kindergarten.
The car window slowly rolled down, revealing a handsome mixed-race face. He ordered the bodyguard, "Judging from the
the child was born, he should be about this age now. Go and do a DNA test." year

"Yes!"
"Leave it with Dr. Al."
"Yes, sir."
Simon trusted no one but Dr. Al. He would only believe in the conclusion provided by Dr. Al.
For the next few days, Simon did not call Valeria to harass her. Instead, she found it strange.
Was this man going to disappear just like that?Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
If not for the fact that the text message on her phone was still there, she would have suspected that the whole thing was a nightmare.
Valeria looked at the content of the message. [Number 45 Villa, Mystic Lake.]
She was having mixed feelings. She felt at ease and inexplicably worried, afraid that Simon would suddenly appear and harass her. Suddenly, her phone rang, startling her.
Valeria covered her chest and let out a long breath. It was Hackett. She picked up the phone. "Why are you calling at this time? You scared me to death."
On the other end of the phone, Hackett frowned. "If I'm not wrong, it should be daytime in Creyque. What's there to be frightened about? What's wrong? Did something happen?"
On the other end, the man finished showering. He leaned against the bed with a towel around his waist and was on the phone with Valeria.
"Nothing. We'll talk about it when you get back. By the way, when are you coming back?"
Hackett chuckled. "Do you miss me?"
"It's your son who misses you. He dreams of you and wants to see you."
"Something happened here, so I might have to postpone it for a few days. Help me explain to Alex. I'll go back a few days later and bring him gifts."
Valeria was silent for a few seconds, but she still smiled and said, "Okay, I'll explain to Alex. Go to bed early. You probably have to wake up early tomorrow." "Yes, take care of yourself."
