Chapter 136
Alex and Hackett went to the dining room.
Tonight, Hackett specially asked the kitchen to make children’s meals. All of the dishes were custom–made for kids.
“Wow… It’s so delicious. Hackett, your chef is so awesome.” Alex’s mouth was filled with food. Alex was over the moon. It was different from what he had eaten in the restaurant outside.
Hackett sat at the side and looked at the way the kid ate. He could not help but smile. “Then eat more.”
“Hackett, your house is so big. Can I have a room tour tonight?”
Alex thought that Hackett only had an amusement park in his house. Alex did not expect it to be a manor. It was so big…
“Sure, but I don’t have time tonight. Maybe we can do that tomorrow. Anyway, I will pick you up from school for the next few days.”
Hackett had more important things to do tonight. If not for the fact that this little boy was hungry, Hackett would probably have gone straight to the restaurant where Valeria and Keith were having dinner.
Alex looked up with his mouth full of cream and asked like a curious baby, “Why can’t we do it tonight? Are you very busy?”
“Your mommy called and asked me to send you over early. She’s worried, so eat quickly.”
After Alex finished eating, Hackett would bring his son to stir up trouble. He would never let Valeria marry Keith.
Alex frowned strangely. “But Mommy said on the phone that she was going back later tonight. She wants to have dinner with Keith’s father and asked me to listen to you obediently…”
“Is that so? She called me again just now and said that she was done and wanted to see you soon,” Hackett lied to his son with a serious face.
Children were indeed naive. He believed Hackett just like that and nodded obediently. “Oh… Alright then. I’ll visit your house tomorrow.”
“Good boy.”
Hackett could not help but pat his son’s head.
Alex was not such a good boy when he was young. He remembered that his grandfather always said that he was very naughty when he was young and required constant discipline.
The phone on the side began to vibrate.
Hackett wiped the corners of his mouth with a napkin and picked up the call.
Tyler’s voice came from the phone. “Mr. James, Ms. Sharp is having dinner at the Red House on South Street.”
“The Red House?” Hackett frowned.
“Yes, the restaurant they booked is the Red House. It’s a coincidence.”
“Okay, got it.”
Then, Hackett hung up.
The Red House belonged to the James family. Hackett didn’t expect Valeria and Keith to go there, Not many people knew

that the James family owned the place. It was Hackett’s grandma’s favorite restaurant when she was alive. So he bought it.
The man’s lips curled into an evil smile.
It seemed like Valeria was meeting Keith’s parents. Hackett decided to make a fuss.
How dare Keith snatch his wife? Keith was courting death!
“Hackett, I’m done eating!”
Alex picked up a small bowl of soup and drank it all. There was not a single drop left. Alex had food smeared all over his face.
Hackett looked at the empty bowl and nodded in satisfaction. It seemed that Valeria had raised the child well.
“Be good. Let the nanny bring you to wash your hands and face. Then, I’ll bring you to see Mommy.”
“Good!”
The nanny carried the little boy down from the baby chair and walked towards the restroom.
At that moment, Hackett’s phone started vibrating again. It was his grandfather.
Hackett picked up the phone. “Grandpa…”
The man had just called out when his grandfather’s roar came from the other end of the phone. “Bastard! I heard that you brought a child back? Now you are so desperate that you kidnap other people’s kids? If you want kids so much, you should have your own kids!”
Hackett glanced coldly at the butler standing at the side. It must be that loudmouth reporting to his grandfather.
The butler looked down guiltily, not daring to meet Hackett’s eyes.
Hackett said, “Grandpa, I only like my children.”
“Then why did you bring other people’s children back?”
“The butler only reported half of it to you. Didn’t he tell you that the child looked like me?”
On the other end of the phone, Barron said angrily, “What? The child looks like you? What do you mean? Do you have an illegitimate child? Let me tell you, I won’t acknowledge any grandchildren who are not Valeria’s kids!”
Hackett felt a little helpless. He had mixed feelings. “The child’s mother is Valeria. The father is me. Do you understand? I don’t have time to talk to you about this now. I have to take care of the child.”
After a long silence, Barron’s voice suddenly became very calm. Are you crazy? Do you hear yourself?”
“If you don’t believe me, come and take a look tomorrow.”

With that, he hung up the phone. He didn’t have time to talk nonsense with her grandfather because the nanny had already come out of the restroom with the child.
“Hackett, I’m done.”
“Then let’s go see your mommy.”
Forty minutes later, Hackett’s car was parked in the parking lot of the Red House.
As soon as he walked through the door with Alex, he bumped into the manager walking towards him. It seemed that Tyler

had already informed the manager in advance.
“Mr. James, you’re here. I’ve been waiting for you.”

“Tyler has already told you, right? Which VIP room are they in?” Hackett went straight to the point. There was no need for small talk.
The manager nodded and bowed. “Yes, yes, yes. Mr. Hughes has already told us about it. Ms. Sharp and Mr. Cooper are in the No.1 VIP room.”
Hackett thought for a few seconds and crooked his finger at the manager.
The manager instantly understood and took the initiative to move his ear closer. No one knew what Hackett said. But the manager looked a little troubled. However, the manager still nodded and agreed.
Only Alex, who was standing at the side, could not understand what the adults were doing.
After the manager left, Alex asked in a cute voice, “Hackett, aren’t we looking for Mommy? Why are we here?”
“Your mommy is here. Let’s wait for her. Let’s go to the children’s area over there to play for a while, okay?”
When Hackett saw this, he even thoughtfully prepared a children’s play area. Although it was not as lavish as the amusement park in the manor, it could also relieve boredom.
“No, how childish. Those are for children. Can you lend me your phone? I want to use the phone.” The little guy looked at the children’s play area with disdain.
Hackett looked at his son in silence.
This kid was so cute. How mature could a three–year–old be? Alex actually despised being childish.
The man silently took out his phone and handed it to Alex. “Do you know how to use the phone?”
As soon as he asked this question, he regretted it. Hackett saw the little boy take his phone and skillfully download a game. Then, Alex entered the game interface and quickly tapped on the screen with his chubby little hands.
As expected of Hackett’s son.
Alex snorted softly. “I secretly play with Mommy’s phone every day. Don’t tell Mommy. If she finds out, she’ll beat me up and keep nagging.”
