Resumption 384
In the car.
The little one asked, "Tyler, do you know that mister from earlier? Who is he?"
Tyler said, "I don't know him. I've never seen him."
"Then I'm right not to talk to him. Mommy won't let me talk to strangers."
When Tyler heard those words, he smiled. "Yes, you did the right thing. When your father comes back, he will reward you." The little one seemed to be angry and snorted. "I don't need his reward. I hate Daddy for not coming back for so long." "Your father is busy. He'll be back soon."
"I'm not listening, I'm not listening, I'm not listening. The little one covered his cars with both hands, his expression stubborn. Tyler shook his head helplessly. His temperament was very similar to Mr. James's. No wonder they were father and son.
Valeria had been hiding at the residence of the Maddox family for the past few days.Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
She did not dare to go out. Even if she went out, she would be accompanied by Tyler.
-She hoped that Hackett would come back soon. However, he had to settle some stuff in Emmerick, so his return had been
delayed for a few days.
"Mommy!"
Valeria sat alone on a rattan chair in the garden while admiring the spring scenery. She could not help but think about Lawrence's strange words.
When she heard Alex's voice, she recovered her senses. Turning around, she opened her arms to catch her son, who was running over.
"My darling, is school over?"
"Mommy, let me tell you. I saw a strange uncle today. I didn't answer his questions. Am I obedient?" The little one looked smug as he waited for his mommy's praise.
Valeria gently kissed his little face. "Good boy, Alex is the best. But what strange uncle?"
At that moment, Tyler came over and added, "A man who looks like he's mixed blood. I've never seen him before."
Valeria's eyes instantly widened. Could it be Mr. Lawrence?
He made his way to Alex's kindergarten!
Valeria looked at the lovable boy in front of her. "Baby, let me ask you. What did that uncle ask you?"
"He asked me how old I was."
Valeria's expression was ugly. It seemed like Lawrence was about to make his move.
She grabbed Alex's arms tightly. "Alex, stay away from that uncle Do you hear me? No matter what he asks you, you're not allowed to answer. Also, you're not allowed to talk to him if you see him, understand?"
"Got it, Mommy. I neetto pee."
Only then did Valerie let go of him and said, "Go find Auntie and let her bring you there."

Alex turned around and walked into the villa. Meanwhile, Tyler frowned because he realized that Valeria's expression was grim.
"Do you know that man?"
"I don't know him. You have to protect Alex. No one is allowed to approach Alex!" Valeria frowned.
"Of course I know that. It's just that this man did not look like an ordinary person. He seems to be someone of status." Tyler thought of the man he saw at that time. He had bodyguards and a luxury car. No matter how he looked at it, he was not ordinary. "No matter who it is, strangers are not allowed to approach Alex
Valeria immediately felt frustrated. She turned around and went back.
Tyler looked at her back and felt strange. He had the feeling that Valeria seemed to know the man they met.
Otherwise, why would she have such a strong reaction?
After returning to her room, Valeria picked up her phone and dialed Simon's number.
The call was answered almost immediately. A sexy male voice came on the line. "Why? Have you thought it through
"What are you talking about? What right do you have to get close to my son? How many times have I told you? He's not your child! What strange fetish do you have that you like to help others raise their son?"
She could not help but sound upset. However, the man on the other end of the phone was not affected. He patiently answered, "You're waiting for Hackett to return and deal with it, right? Then let me tell you, I caused some trouble for him over there. He won't be back for the time being."
"What? What did you do?"
"Nothing. It's just that he encountered some difficulties in his overseas project. He has to resolve them one by one. When he returns after he's done, I think I can leave with the child." "Despicable!"
Valeria hung up the phone. She did not want to talk
any further.
But what should she do now?
She thought about it and decided to call Hackett. No one answered after it rang for a long time. Just as she was about to hang up, he picked up.
"Valeria, what's wrong?"
She could hear the background noise on the other end of the line. It was as if he was in the midst of a meeting.
"Are you busy? I'll call you when you're done. I'm not in a hurry." She did not want to add to Hackett's burden and made him worry. After all, he was overseas. It was better to wait for him to return.
"It's fine. Go ahead. It's not like we can finish everything here quickly." The man's voice on the phone was filled with fatigue.
Valeria suddenly felt her heart aching. "Did you not sleep the entire night?"

Mon, Dec Chapter 384
It should be morning in Emerick Hackett's tired and slightly irritable voice meant he had not slept the entire night
"Yes, something happened. I need to deal with it. I don't have time to sleep While talking to Valeria, Hackett was still tapping away on the keyboard.
Valeria could not bear to disturb him anymore. She said, 'Forget it, I'm fine. I called to tell you I miss you. Since you're busy. I won't disturb you anymore. Call me when you're free
There was low laughter coming from the phone. It seemed like Hackett was delighted with what she said.
"Yes, I miss you too. However, I'm busy now. I'll call you later
"Alright, take care of your health, and don't skip meals
"Valeria, I miss you. I'll call you later, I can't listen to your voice anymore. If I continue to listen, I'm afraid I won't be able to concentrate on work."
Valeria laughed out loud. "Talk to you later."
Then she hung up.
Valeria sighed deeply. She felt upset.
Now that Hackett was so busy, how could she trouble and distract him?
However, Lawrence was like a ghost lurking in the night. He could appear anytime. He found Alex's kindergarten.
It seemed like it was not safe for Alex to go to kindergarten for the next few days.
Valeria decided it was safer for Alex and her to stay at home. They would try their best to avoid Simon.
Valeria and Alex stayed at home for the next few days. They did not go anywhere.
Tyler found it strange. Clayton and his wife found it even stranger.
"Valeria, why aren't you busy with your studio these days? Why isn't Alex going to kindergarten?"
At the dining table, Clayton could not help but ask.
Valeria scooped up some food for Alex and said, "I want to rest. Besides, it's not like our family can't afford it. There's no hurry for me to make a living. As for Alex, he's caught the cold for the past two days. I want to take care of him while I'm at home."
