Chapter 150.
Hackett held his phone and waited for ten seconds. Then, he picked up the call calmly.
He even pretended to be very busy with work and said in a low voice, “What’s wrong?
Tyler looked at Mr. James’s outstanding acting skills and could not help but praise his performance. He was a good actor who fell into the wrong industry. It was a huge loss for Hollywood. If he chose to be an actor, winning an Oscar was just like a piece of cake.
Valeria’s awkward voice came from the other side. “Um, are you busy now? Are you still working? If you’re not convenient. forget it. There is nothing special”
Hackett frowned slightly. Tm almost done. If there is anything, just say it. I’m about to leave.”
He had to put on a real show, but he couldn’t go overboard.
“I see. Well, it’s already so late. It’ll take a long time for you to return to the manor. Anyway, the company is only a few minutes away from here. Why don’t you come over and stay with us tonight? There are extra rooms for you.”
Hearing Valeria’s well–founded excuse on the phone, Hackett smiled.
It was obvious that she was afraid and wanted him to accompany her at night. She even found so many ostensible excuses.” Hackett saw through it but did not expose it. He said in a deep voice, “Alright, then give me a few minutes”
“Yes, can you hurry up? It’s close, right?” Valeria’s voice sounded urgent on the phone. It seemed that she had suffered a mental breakdown from fear.
“Alright, I’ll be quick. Give me five minutes. The man’s eyes lit up. He had achieved his goal, and it was perfect.
Valeria explained, “Well, Alex is asking for something to eat. When you pass by the convenience store later, bring some food over. I’m not in a hurry,”
Hackett chuckled. “Yes, I understand. I’ll set off now.”
With that, he hung up.
After hanging up, Hackett looked at Tyler. “What are you waiting for? Hurry up and go to buy some food.”
Only then did Tyler react. “Oh, okay. I’ll go now”
Fortunately, there was a 24–hour convenience store in this community. Otherwise, he would waste much more time to find
one.
After Valeria hung up the phone, she heaved a sigh of relief.
At least she would feel more at case with a man at home. Otherwise, she wouldn’t be able to endure this long night
She glanced at the extremely insecure boy in her arms. He seemed to have had a nightmare, frowning and moaning. Valeria patted the baby’s back gently and comforted him. “It’s okay, it’s okay. Mommy is here.”“”
As for those strange sounds, there was really no way to tell what they were. She did not feel that she was hallucinating. But was it possible that she and the baby were hallucinating at the same time?
Now that she thought about the sound of the woman humming in the cloakroom, she still got goosebumps. It was too terrifying.

Chapter 150
Not long after, the doorbell gang.
It also woke Alex up from his sleep. The little guy opened his eyes in a daze and buried himself in her arms. “Mommy!”
“Don’t be afraid, don’t be afraid. Hackett will accompany us tonight. It’ll be fine.”

Valeria touched her son’s little head. She felt that the baby had not slept well at all. Cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
“Really?” The kid looked up.
“Of course. Hackett is ringing the doorbell now. Mommy is going to open the door. Now that he’s here, we’re not afraid anymore, okay? Even if there’s really a ghost, Hackett will help you chase it away.”
Valeria now truly realized the importance of a father during a child’s growth.
“Yes” Alex nodded, but his little face was full of panic.
Valeria walked to the entrance and opened the door. As expected, he saw a tall man standing outside the door with a bag in his hand.
“You’re pretty fast.”
Hackett picked up the bag in his hand. “Didn’t you say Alex wanted to eat something? I’m afraid he’s hungry
As he spoke, he walked into the house.
The moment Valeria saw Hackett, she immediately felt an unprecedented sense of peace.
Was this the sense of security brought about by a man’s masculinity?
Before the doorbell rang, the house was haunted by fear. After Hackett walked in, the terrifying atmosphere instantly disappeared. It had to be said that this man’s aura was very powerful and could suppress evil things.
Before Hackett walked into the living room, he heard the sound of the television. The sound was seemed to be able to be heard at every corner of the house.
turned
up so loud that it
It seemed that they were quite frightened. He even suspected that he had done it too much.
He walked to the sofa and looked at his poor baby son who was curled up on the sofa.
“Are you hungry? Want something to eat?” He set the bag with some food on the table.
The little guy was previously afraid of him, but ever since he was frightened by the moving curtains in the room, he suddenly felt that Hackett was not scary at all.
Alex shook his head and deliberately leaned closer to him as if he would not be afraid of ghosts if he was close to this rall
man.
“Are you afraid of ghosts?” Suddenly, Alex asked seriously.
Hackett was stunned for a moment before he chuckled. I’m not afraid. Why? Are you afraid?”
Alex nodded seriously, “That’s good. Will you protect Mommy and me tonight? There’s a ghost here. I saw it
Valeria sat on the sofa with an awkward expression, This little boy changed so quickly.
A few hours ago, he was still hiding from Hackett like he was hiding from a ghost. Now, he was leaning against the man, looking docile and obedient.

Hackett said, “Alright, IH protect you. But what did you see? Are you sure you saw a ghost?”

He didn’t want to instill in his son these superstitious ideas. Now he started to regret setting up that room. It seemed to have scared the hell out of this boy.
Alex widened his eyes and said to him very seriously, “No, I’m telling you, I really saw it. I saw the curtains moving. There was a ghost outside the window. It was so scary. I was afraid.
The man stretched out his large palm and touched that furry little head. “It’s fine. With me around, I’m not afraid of those things, okay?”
“Then Hackett, can you not sleep tonight?”
What? This little devil was even more ruthless than him. He asked him not to sleep.
“Why?” Valeria was confused.
Alex said, “Hackett can’t protect us when he’s asleep. I’m still afraid when he’s asleep.”
Valeria was a little speechless. What a tricky boy.
Hackett was amused by his son’s childish words and agreed readily. “Alright, I won’t sleep tonight. I’ll protect you and your Mommy. Are you relieved now? Now time to sleep.”
“Hmm. I’m relieved now. I can finally have a good night’s sleep. Alex seemed to have heaved a sigh of relief. His entire body relaxed, and he was no longer as nervous and afraid as before.
However, Alex’s words stunned the two adults.
“Mommy, can Hackett sleep in the same bed as us tonight? Don’t let him get too far away from us.” 1
Valeria was stunned and remained silent for a while.
As for Hackett, his heart was blooming!
