Marriage Resumption (Valeria and Hackett)

Valeria stifled a laugh from the side. She did not expect the little one to have such a temperament. Hackett looked at Valeria resignedly. "My son is ignoring me."

His tone was filled with affection. However, there was something childlike about his voice as well.

Tyler could not help but get goosebumps as he stood at the side Mr. James had changed and become a different person. He even spoke in a childlike way. It was unbelievable. Tyler found it crazy.

Tyler's eyes were almost overflowing with skepticism. Hackett glanced at him coldly. "If you can't stand it, get lost."

"Oh, Mr. James. I'm used to it." Tyler smiled. What else could he say?

Valeria could not help but laugh out loud. The interaction between the two men was interesting.

Realizing he had been ignored, the little one snorted loudly at his father.

Hackett looked at his son in his arms and smiled dotingly. "You're reminding Daddy to coax you quickly, right?"

"Daddy doesn't keep your word. You're not a good father." The little one could not hold it in anymore. He did not want to talk to his father. He made it obvious he was upset with Hackett.

The man frowned. "But Daddy brought you a present. Do you want to take a look?"

"No! I don't want it!" The little one looked haughty. He refused to respond further to Hackett.

Valeria poked her son's face with her finger and said, "Give Daddy a chance to apologize. Didn't we agree when we were at home?"

"But he didn't take out any gift. There's no gift at all."

When Hackett came out, the little one had been looking for signs of a gift. He did not see anything.

Valeria smiled and looked at Hackett's handsome side profile. "Are you lying to my son? Where's the gift?"

Hackett glanced at the assistant behind him. "Where's the gift? Didn't I ask you to hold it for me?"

"Oh, it's here. I forgot." The assistant smiled awkwardly. After taking out the gift, he handed it over.

Although Valeria did not see what gift it was, she saw Alex snatch it away and squeal in shock. It seemed that he liked it very much. "What's that?"

Hackett chuckled. "I don't know either, but I only know that children like this."

At that moment, a call came in. It was Simon again. The smile on Valeria's face instantly disappeared without a trace.

She disconnected the call immediately. She looked at Hackett and Tyler. "Let's go to the manor. I have something to tell you two." Hackett and Tyler looked at each other. They were both a little puzzled. However, they did not ask what was the matter.

In any case, they would know later.

At the James Manor.

08:24 Mon, Dec 2u.

After returning to the manor, Alex was brought away to play. After all, he had not been there for a long time.

The three adults went to the lake to talk.

"Just say what you want to say." Hackett sat on the bench and waited for Valeria to speak.

Valeria thought about it repeatedly. She did not know where to start. Even if she did, would Hackett guarantee he would not be angry? She was unsure. Hackett would do anything if he were angry.

Valeria looked at Tyler, who was standing at the side. "You should sit there too. Let me think about how to broach it."

"Me? I'd better stand. It's unbecoming of me to sit there with Mr James."

"Just sit when I tell you to. I can't say anything if you're standing. Anyway, this matter is quite troublesome. You have to hold down Hackett later. Don't let him be rash." Valeria was getting impatient. Tyler looked puzzled. What was it that was so mysterious?

Although he felt Valeria had been hiding something these few days, it seemed pretty serious from how things looked.

Hackett's expression was already ugly. He also realized that something might have happened in the past few days when he was absent. However, Valeria chose to hide it until his return.

"Just take a seat if you're told to. Stop dilly-dallying!"

After being reprimanded, Tyler obediently sat beside Mr. James. Then, the two men stared at Valeria intensely, waiting for her to speak.

Hackett looked at her. "Speak."

"You have to promise not to be angry. I wanted us to think of a way together. You can't be rash, alright?"

However, Valeria could still imagine Hackett rushing to Mystic Lake Villa to kill Lawrence immediately after hearing her. However, Hackett's expression became uglier after hearing what Valeria said. He could not hold back anymore. "Are you going to tell me or not?"

"Promise me first that you'll calm down after listening to me. Ok" Valeria still could not find the courage to speak. She felt Hackett would not calm down. She was frustrated.

"Yes, I promise. Tell me now," Hackett said with a gloomy face.

Valeria looked at Tyler, who was sitting beside Hackett. "Remember to hold him back."NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.

Tyler gave her an affirmative look. It was as if he wanted her to say what she wanted to immediately and not waste time.

She cleared her throat and organized the thoughts in her head. She tried to manage a tactful tone while saying, "Here's the thing. Do you know the Lawrence family from Emmerick?" Hackett frowned. "Yes. Why?"

He had met Simon, the new heir of the Lawrence family, a few times before. However, he was not familiar with him.

Tyler was also listening very carefully, waiting for what Valeria was to say next.

Valeria thought about it and decided to say it directly. Otherwise, the message might be misinterpreted. Things would then

be more troublesome. She did not want that to happen.

"It's about the mysterious heir who came to Creyque. He found me..."

"So?" Hackett was impatient to know what had happened. However, Valeria was hesitating.

Valeria did not dare to look into Hackett's eyes. She said in one go, "This heir found the hospital where I gave birth four years ago. He insisted that Alex was his son and wanted to take Alex away. He even took out a DNA test result done in Emmerick. The result showed that they are father and son. That's all!"

After she finished speaking, she did not get a reaction from the two men for a long time. She thought she had said it too quickly, and the two of them did not hear her.

She looked up and saw that Hackett's handsome face was dark. A storm could break out at any moment.

"What the..." Suddenly, the man cursed.

Tyler quickly grabbed his arm. "Mr. James, Ms. Sharp said to calm down."

"If it were you, would you be able to calm down? I asked you to protect them these days when I was away, and you don't even know about this?" Hackett had the urge to rush over and kill Simon.

Tyler suddenly thought of the man he saw when he picked up Mr. Alex from school that day.

"The man we met that day is the heir of the Lawrence family? The man who looks like he's mixed blood?" Tyler looked at Valeria.

Valeria nodded. The memory of that day scared her. Simon might have taken Alex away if Tyler was not there.
