Hackett sat on the sofa with Alex in his arms for two hours. He did not even move, and Valeria felt bad for him just watching from the side. 

“It’s been two hours. He should be in a deep sleep. Put him on the bed,” Valeria suggested again. 

Hackett looked down at his son in his arms and gently held his le hand. He wanted to take his tie out of Alex’s chubby little hand, but his hand was still holding it tightly. 

Hackett smiled helplessly and looked up at her. “If you’re tired, go to sleep first. I’m fine.” 

“Are you going to hold him like this all night? Your arm won’t be able to handle it.” 

Moreover, Hackett’s leg was injured, and he needed to rest. Carrying Alex for the entire night would be challenging. 

Alex had been heavier and heavier, so holding him all night would be a burden on his arms. 

Hackett lowered his gaze to his son and said, “It’s okay. I have been late for four years, so what’s one night of holding him. compared to that? I am his father. It’s my duty.” 

Valeria had no words left. It was rare for him to fulfill the responsibilities of a father, and she couldn’t possibly stop him. 

However, how could she sleep when Hackett and Alex were in this state? 

I can’t sleep either. I’ll stay with you. Are you hungry? Do you want me to cook some spaghetti for you?” 

After all, when they were in the old mansion, she noticed that Hackett also had not eaten much, as he had been worried about his son. 

Hackett had a helpless expression on his charming face. Looking at the boy in his arms, he asked, “Do you think I can ea spaghetti while holding him?” 

Valeria smiled and said, “I can feed you.” 

It was just like how she usually fed Alex, but after saying that, she regretted it immediately 

Hackett smiled and said. “That’s a good idea. Would you mind cooking some spaghetti for me then?” 

She really wanted to slap herself in the face. “Why did I say that?” she thought. 

However, she had no choice but to prepare food for him. 

Ella sat on the sofa in the living room and looked at Valeria’s bedroom from time to time. She did not know what was going on there, but she was very worried when he saw that Alex did not seem to be in a good state. 

Suddenly, the bedroom door opened. Valeria walked out. 

Ella immediately stood up and asked, “Valeria, is everything okay? Is Alex alright?“. 

“He should be fine now. He is in his father’s arms, and we can’t put him down. He’s probably frightened, but I guess he will be alright after some time. Valeria said and walked towards the kitchen. 

Ella followed her. “Where are you going? Are you hungry? I’ll prepare somet 

food for you.” 

“It’s not for me. I am cooking some spaghetti for Hackett. He didn’t eat much at night, and he’s injured. It’s exhausting to carry the child for so long as well.

“Oh… I see. In that case, I should let you prepare food for him then. After all, he wants to taste some love in the spaghetti Ella smiled and turned around to go back to her room to sleep. 

Valeria wanted to explain, but finally, she did not say anything. There was no need to spend time justifying herself. 

After a while, Valeria returned to the bedroom with some spaghetti. Unexpectedly, Hackett placed Alex on the bed. 

She looked surprised. “He let go of your tie? 

“Yes, he’s probably in a deep sleep. I guess he has found a sense of security at home.” 

“Then I’ll leave the spaghetti on the dining table for you,” Valeria said as she turned around and was about to leave the room with the plate. 

Hackett stood in front of her and looked down at her. “Aren’t you going to feed me? Alex is asleep, so you are not going to feed me?” he asked. 

“Of course not! Now that your hands are free and you can eat on your own, why should I feed you?” 

She walked out with the bowl of spaghetti. 

A hint of disappointment appeared on Hackett’s attractive face. He muttered to himself, “I should have kept holding Alex.” 

Valeria suddenly turned around and looked at him. “What did you say?” 

“Nothing. Let’s go to the dining room. I’m really a little hungry,” he said and walked out of the bedroom. 

She watched his slender and slim figure from behind, unable to hold back a light laugh. 

She then went to bed after he finished the food, 

The next day, Alex woke up very early. 

However, this time, he hid under the blanket and did not make a fuss. If it was any other day, he would have long started asking for milk. 

Hackett did not sleep for the entire night again. He had been leaning against the armchair to accompany his son, afraid tha he would be afraid when he woke up in the middle of the night. 

At this moment, he felt sleepy and leaned against the sofa to sleep for a while. 

Valeria went to wash up. At this moment, Alex woke up. However, his eyes looked empty and lifeless. 

The bedroom door was gently pushed open. It was Valeria who was afraid of waking her son up. Unexpectedly, when she walked in, she realized that Alex was already awake. 

Valeria walked to the bed, looked at Alex’s big eyes, and smiled. “Alex, you’re awake? Why didn’t you call for Mommy? Are you hungry? Do you want breakfast or milk?” 

Alex nodded. “Yes…” 

Then I’ll make you some milk. With that, Valeria turned around and walked out of the bedroom. In fact, she felt that Alex was a bit strange. Why had he become much quieter? 

At this moment, Hackett seemed to have heard Valeria’s voice. He slowly opened his eyes and moved his gaze to the bed, noticing that his son was awake. 

He also stood up and walked to the bed to sit down. He rubbed his son’s head with his large palm. “You’re awake?”

Chapter 183 

Alex did not react but stared at him with his eyes wide open. There seemed to be fear in his eyes. 

Hackett noticed that something was wrong with his son’s reaction and frowned. “What did Papi say to you yesterday? Or did he show you something? Are you afraid?” 

He seemed to have hit the nail on the head. Alex’s eyes flickered for a moment before he nodded and finally said. “Papi brought me to see Grandpa. There was only one photo. He said that Grandpa lived in that photo and would never come out… Hackett, why is Grandpa living in the photo? It’s so scary.” 

Hackett’s expression turned unpleasant as he suppressed the anger in his heart. 

If it weren’t for the fact that he was with Alex, he would have called his grandfather and scolded him. 

His grandfather was really getting more and more unreasonable as he got older. Why was he talking nonsense with such a young kid? 

Living in the photographs? A child’s comprehension could easily turn such a situation into something paranormal! It could cause psychological trauma in children! 

At this moment, Valeria came in with a milk bottle. Seeing that Hackett and Alex seemed to be chatting, she smiled and asked, “What are you guys talking about?” 

Hackett touched Alex’s little head and said in a deep voice, “Don’t be afraid. Papi was just joking with you. Grandpa is out on a business trip.” 

“Then why did Papi want to scare me? It’s so scary. Alex was obviously really frightened. There was a hint of timidity in his Leyes. 

Valeria was confused and could not understand what they were talking about.

Hackett was silent for a few seconds before saying, “Because he has nothing else to do.” 

“Can you stay with Alex? I am going to make a call.” Hackett stood up and walked toward the balcony. 

Valeria looked at Alex on the bed and asked, “Alex, what’s so scary? Did you have a nightmare?”
