Chapter 190
Valeria had wanted to refuse Keith, but after thinking about it, she agreed.
“Okay, I’ll meet you at the law office this afternoon.”
After hanging up, Valerih went to the bathroom to wash up and change her clothes. Finally, she felt more awake and walked out of the bedroom.
The breakfast that Ella made for her had already turned cold, so she heated it for her again.
Valeria sat at the dining table and looked at the reheated breakfit. “You don’t have to heat it for me. I’m not very hungry, and it’s almost lunchtime,” she said.
At this moment, there were only the two of them at home, so they could finally talk freely.
Ella sat beside her and asked curiously, “Valeria, are you really not going to leave? How did your Mr. James find you so quickly yesterday?”
“This credit goes to my dear son,” Valeria remarked. “I noticed it myself. There’s some sort of telepathy between them, or how else can you explain Hackett arriving at the airport so quickly? Did he just assume I’d be there? And even when he got to the airport, he couldn’t find me, but Alex saw him and called him, and then…”
She looked helplessly at Ella and shrugged
And that’s how he found you and Alex…”
Valeria nodded and slowly sipped the soup.
“Then what should we do? Are you going to quit just like that? Are you not planning to escape anymore!” Ella asked.
Valeria took a sip of her soup and looked at Ella. “Why bother trying to escape? Look at how fast Hackett got to the airport. Could I have really escaped? Even if I had somehow managed to get away, with Alex screaming, wouldn’t I have been. discovered?”
Ella chuckled helplessly. “These two are father and son for real. You can feel the power of blood tie.”
“By the way, I have an appointment in the afternoon. Would you mind picking up Alex from school?” she said.
Ella nodded. “Are you coming back for dinner tonight?”
“No. I think I won’t”
With that, Valeria finished the soup.
Soon, the school ended.
Alex was queuing up to be picked up.
At this moment, a middle–aged man appeared in front of him. “Young man, do you still remember me?”
The teacher looked at the unfamiliar middle–aged man in front of her and knew that she could not let him take Alex away. “May I ask who you she asked.
Tm his grandfather, Can’t I bring my grandson back home?
Alex looked at the middle–aged man before him and seemed to remember something.

teacher
However, the responsible seg her took out her phone and was about to make a call Let me ring Me Sharp to make sure am sorry, but we can not let anyone pick up the kids.”
Girl, how can you say that? How am I a oranger? I’m Alex grandfather. If you don’t believe me, ask him Ben began to mess around. He definitely couldn’t let the teacher call Valeria
The teacher squatted down and asked donbefully. “Alex, tell me this your grandfather! If you don’t know him just tell me,
okay
Alex stared at his grandfather for a while and aid. “Tee Grandpa
Upon hearing Alex call him Grandpa, Ben laughed happily Sidn’t I say that I’m his grandpa I can pick up my grandson, right? Alex, let’s go
With that, Ben picked Alex up.
The teacher couldn’t say anything else, but she was still a bit worried.
She called Valeria, but no one answered.
Ben hugged Alex and smiled from ear to ear
After the last kidnapping incident, Ben had been constantly on the run, but he recently returned, feeling an inexplicable longing for his grandson.
“Young man, what do you want to eat? I will buy you whatever you want. Or is there anywhere you want to go”
Ben had not expected himself to be such a grandfather. In the past, he had never thought about what he would be like after having a grandson.
Alex pouted and thought for a moment. “I want to eat burgers. Mommy won’t let me eat them. She said that they’re junk
food”
“Okay, let’s go to eat burgers”
Alex then followed Ben.
Meanwhile, Valeria still had no idea what had happened,
After everyone in the law office was off, she finally arrived. She did it on purpose because she didn’t want to bump into too many people,
She walked straight into Keith’s office.
Keith was waiting for her in the office. He had been waiting for a long time and thought that she would stand him up.
Valeria knocked on the door, but no one responded
She thought that Keith was not in the room. Just as she was about to turn around, the door was pulled open. Keith was standing inside with bloodshot eyes as if he had stayed up all night.
“What happened to you? Did you stay up late?” Valeria was quite surprised.
However, Keith did not answer her but pulled her into the office and closed the door.
Valeria looked back with a dumbfounded expression.
Keith roared in anger, “Valeria Sharp! Are you messing with me You said you were leaving, turned off your phone, and couldn’t be reached no matter what. Today, you tell me you’re not leaving and have no plans to leave. I haven’t slept a wink

all night, searching everywhere for you, and you…”
“You’ve been looking for me all night? Valeria could not help ba interrupt him.
“That’s right! I’ve searched everywhere I could, but I couldn’t find you. It turns out that you haven’t left at all. Is there a point
in playing with me like this?” Keith was really angry, for he felt that Valeria was playing with him.
Valeria was stunned.
They
y were both looking for her.
It took Hackett less than an hour to find her, but Keith couldn’t find her even after searching for the entire night
Why was it like this….
Could it be that Hackett had telepathy with her? Could he have sensed that she had been at the airport?
There was a sense of inescapable fate as if she were destined to be entangled with Hackett forever.
I’m talking to you. What are you thinking?” Keith was even anger when he saw her distracted look.
Valeria came back to her senses. “What? What did you just say?”
“Let me ask you. What do you want? Are you just trying to quit your job and stay away from me? Is that why you’re making up this lie?”
In Keith’s opinion, this was the case. Valeria wanted to stay away from him, so she made up a reason to go overseas, making
him unable to refuse.
Valeria couldn’t help but smile Why would you think that? I seriously left yesterday, but for various reasons, I did not make
It.”
“Why did you leave? Why did you stay?”
“Can you stop asking? I really don’t want to talk about it. Keith’s questions made Valeria feel overwhelmed.
At that moment, her phone rang. It was a call from Ella.
She didn’t want to answer the phone, but Keith’s questioning made her feel somewhat suffocated, so she chose to answer the phone to relieve the pressure in her heart.
Valeria walked to the side and picked up the phone. On the other end, Ella cried and said, “Valeria! I don’t know who picked up Alex! When I went to the kindergarten to pick up Alex, the teacher said that Alex’s grandfather had picked him up.”
“What? How did this happen?!”
Her face instantly turned pale, and her eyes widened. Before Ella could finish the sentence, she hung up the phone and turned to leave.
Keith grabbed her hand. “Where are you going? I was talking to you!”
“I have to go now, but we can talk the other day.” Valeria anxiously broke free from his grip.
