Chapter 141
“It’s okay. I can understand how your parents feel. Actually, I think what they said makes sense. I didn’t think it through. carefully…
Upon hearing this, Keith was a little disappointed. “So, are you going to give up? I’ll try to convince my parents. You don’t have to worry. You just have to stand firmly on my side.”
“Keith, a relationship won’t be a happy one without blessings from the parents. I advise you to listen to your parents. I thought about it carefully last night. We’re indeed not compatible.
She felt that Kevin and Luna would not change their minds. She did not want to face such in–laws either, so she might as well give up this relationship.
Valeria grabbed a few portfolios and glanced at Keith. I’m going to my court session. Talk to you later.”
With that, she turned around and left the office.
Keith stood there feeling powerless. Why couldn’t Valeria be more firm with siding with him?
Soon, the Sein was setting.
In need to pick up Alex, Hackett left a meeting held by the top management, leaving a group of executives duinbfounded.”
He brought the child back to the manor and got out of the car with him. He was going to take him to have dinner first,
As soon as they walked into the villa, they saw Barron James sitting in the living room.
Barron pulled a long face and was about to scold Hackett, but when he saw the child in his arms, he was stunned.
Alex saw Barron and immediately shouted, “Barron, what a coincidence. Why are you here too?”
Barron was even more shocked. He walked over with his walking stick. “This… This child… Why is he here? Don’t tell me he belongs to our family.”
Hackett frowned. “Why? Have you two met before?”
The bodyguard at the side explained for Barron, “Mr. Hackett, Mr. Barron often went to the kindergarten to visit the children. He met this child before and thought that he looked like you when you were young.”
Hackett was stunned for a moment before he chuckled. “Grandpa, not only does this kid look like me, but he’s also my biological son.”
“What? Is this child really yours?”
Barron never dreamed that the child he accidentally met in kindergarten was really his little great–grandson.
“Yes, Valeria gave birth to him. Four years ago, Valeria got pregnant I didn’t believe her and chose to get a divorce. Later, she gave birth to this child alone. I only found out recently.”
Hackett explained the origin of the child in a few words. He was afraid that if he said too much, Barron would faint on the spol.
“You bastard!”
As expected, Barron’s blood pressure rose. He picked up his walking stick and hit Hackett. “You don’t believe when your wife told you she was pregnant, but you believe these crazy girls you met out there! You’ve left my great grandchild spranded out there for four years! I beat you to death, you useless thing!

Hackett didn’t dodge. He also felt that he deserved a beating since he left his biological son stranded abroad for four years.
However, Alex, who was in his arms, was obviously frightened. He pouted and said with tears in his eyes, “I want my
mommy…
Seeing that the child was crying. Barron immediately stopped. Don’t cry, don’t cry. I’m sorry. Did I scare you?”
“Grandpa, he hasn’t eaten yet. I need to take him to eat. You should come too.”
“Alright. I’ll eat with my little great–grandson.” Barron was grinning from ear to ear. Although he was angry and shocked, he felt blessed to find out he actually had a great–grandson.
In the dining room.
Alex sat obediently on the dining chair, but his table manners were still so adorable. He ate until his face was covered all in food.
Hackett and Barron sat at the side and watched the little guy eat
like
The more I look at him, the more he looks like when you were young- you “Look, this kid really can eat. He looks just you. However, you weren’t so obedient when you were young. You were very naughty.” The more Barron looked at Alex, the more he liked him. Nothing can attract his attention besides his great–grandson.
The corners of Hackett’s mouth curled up slightly when he saw his son burying his head in food.
At this moment, the butler walked over as if he had something to say.
“If you have something to say, just say it. There are no strangers here,” Hackett said as he scooped a bowl of soup for his son.
The butler reported truthfully, “Recently, the sanatorium reported that Mrs. James‘ condition has improved a lot. They suggested that she go home to recuperate. Mrs. James insists on coming home while having Ms. Yeats with her.”
Hackett paused in his actions of feeding the child soup. “Cheryl Yeats? She still dares to show up in front of me?”
The butler said, “Ms. Yeats has been thinking of ways to see you. I think she has been trying to work on Mrs. James. Mrs. James trusts Ms. Yeats very much and insists that Ms. Yeats stay with her. I arranged for them to stay in the South House.”
Hackett replied indifferently, “Alright. It’s up to you. Make sure that I don’t run into her anyway”
He asked again, “How’s the wound on her face?”
“It’s likely not going to recover. Perhaps it’ll leave a scar on her face. The foreign experts have come for a consultation in order to help her recover. They claim that 60 to 70 percent of the scar will eventually be healed in the best scenario. I’m afraid that Ms. Yeats is not going to be able to stay in the entertainment industry anymore.” The butler answered truthfully.
Hackett’s expression was solemn. “Got it. You may be dismissed
After the butler left, Barron said. “Are you still planning to mess around with Cheryl? If you continue to do so, you will not be able to keep Valeria, not even with this kid around.”
Barron had long understood that as long as Cheryl still had a trace of hope, she would definitely attempt to obstruct Valeria and Hackett from remarrying
“Grandpa, I know what I’m doing. I’ll only do what’s necessary to help her while discarding any personal feelings for her. Besides, there weren’t any feelings for her anyway.”
He had never had any feelings for Cheryl. He was only nice to her out of respect for Abbot Yeau and also because he had mistakenly believed he had slept with Cheryl before. Now that everything was clear, there was no need for him to feel guilty
anymore.

Cheryl was indeed inconsistent with the impression of innocence and flawlessness he originally had of her. He did not expect her to be so scheming.

Barron grunted coldly. “You’d better handle it well. If you make Valeria run away again, you won’t be able to find her. No one can help you.”
Hackett remained silent and continued to feed Alex. This lit
