Chapter 7
Valeria angrily left the old house and walked along the dark road. The more she thought about what happened, the angrier she became!
Hackett was never worthy of knowing about the existence of their child. He would never be a good father.
Suddenly, Valeria felt a chill. She glanced around and saw that there was no one around.
This was a famous, wealthy area in Alcomara. Taxis couldn’t be lailed here, and it was far from the city center. She would have to walk until dawn
She took out her phone, intending to make a call for help.
Unexpectedly, a car horn suddenly sounded behind her, accompanied by the glaring headlights.
A black Rolls Royce Phantom stopped beside her, and the car window slowly rolled down, revealing Hackett’s handsome yet shameless face. “Get in the car”
Valeria didn’t even look at him and continued walking forward. I don’t need you to worry about me. Someone will come to pick me up
Hackett stopped the car, opened the door, and with his long legs, he walked a few steps to stand in front of her, lifting her onto his shoulder and heading toward the car.
Her body suddenly went weightless, which made Valeria frightened. She instinctively grabbed onto Hackett’s suit jacket.
“Hackert! Put me down! Who do you think you are to control me? We’re divorced! Do you know that?” She kept pounding on
his back
Hackett placed her in the passenger seat and bent down to faster her seatbelt.
The distance between them was very close, and she could even see Hackett’s thick eyelashes.
*I brought you here, so I have to take you back safely. You better behave and listen to me. Otherwise, I might have to relocate your mother’s grave.”
After saying that, he closed the car door and walked around to the driver’s seat,
Valeria widened her eyes. “How dare he threaten me with my mother’s grave again?” she said inwardly.
She looked at the man beside her and angrily said, “Hackett! If you dare to relocate my mother’s grave, I will fight you with everything I have!”
Hackett glanced at her nonchalantly and said in a casual tone of voice, “Well, that depends on your behavior.”
When her mother passed away, Valeria couldn’t afford a burial plot, but Hackett arranged everything for her, allowing her mother to rest in prace.
But now, he was using her mother’s grave as a threat!
He was a scumbag!
Suddenly, Hackett’s phone started vibrating, and the screen displayed the caller ID–Cheryl
When Valeria saw that name, her heart couldn’t help but ache
“That is the woman Hackett keeps hidden in his heart she thought.

Hackett didn’t hesitate and answered the phone. On the other end, he heard Cheryl’s gentle voice. “Hackett, I’m having
w tonight and had a few drinks. I can’t drive. Can you come pick me up?” dinner with
“It’s not convenient right now. I’ll send someone to pick you up.
“No, I want you to come pick me up. I’m drunk. How can you trust someone else to pick me up…“
Hackett remained silent for two seconds and replied, “Send me the address. I’ll meet you there.”
“Okay, I’ll patiently wait for you.”
The call ended, and Hackett continued driving.
It was so quiet in the car that one could even hear a pin drop.
Naturally. Valeria heard Cheryl’s voice from the phone just now It sounded gentle and sweet. It was the voice of a woman who was wholly immersed in happiness.
Well… this might be the difference between the woman he loved and the woman he was not interested in. Hackett always showed incredible patience toward Cheryl
However, daring the year Valeria and Hackett were married, he rarely came home.
It was truly heartbreaking to think about.
Valeria couldn’t help but look out the car window, biting her lower lip tightly, her thoughts in disarray.
Suddenly, Hackett, who was driving, said in a deep voice, “Who were you talking about just now?”
“What?”
Valeria paused momentarily, having no idea what Hackett was talking about. She turned her head to look at the man’s perfectly sculpted profile.
“You just said that I would never know about his existence. Who were you referring to?”
Valeria continued to look out the car window. “No one.”
Hackett was speechless. He wasn’t particularly curious, so he didn’t bother to ask further. It was up to her whether or not to tell him.
At this moment, Valeria’s phone rang as well. She glanced at it and saw that it was Jepson calling.
Without any hesitation, she answered the phone. Then, she heard the sweet voice of Alex from the phone. “Mommy! When are you coming to pick me up? Did you forget about me?”
Valeria instinctively covered the phone receiver, looking at the man beside her, afraid he would hear Alex’s voice.
Seeing that Hackett seemed to have no reaction and continued driving, she let out a sigh of relief, turned her back to Hackett, and spoke into the phone like a thief, “I’ll be with you soon. See you later.
After saying that, the decisively hung up the phone, not giving Alex a chance to speak again.
Hackett, who was driving, saw her sneaky behavior and wondered if she had found a new boyfriend.
“Is ji a man or a woman?” he asked directly.
Valeria had a cold expression on her face. “What does it have to do with you?”

Chapter 7
A text message came through on her phone. It was the address of a restaurant sent by Jepson. He was probably having dinner with Alex.
“Could you please take me to Tasty Restaurant?” she said.
She hadn’t seen her son all night and didn’t know if that little rascal had been well–behaved.
Tasty Restaurant?
Hackett raised an eyebrow slightly. The address that Cheryl had sent earlier seemed to be the same restaurant. What a coincidence!
Half an hour later, they arrived at the Tasty Restaurant
Valeria muttered a perfunctory “thank you” and unbuckled her seatbelt, opened the car door, and walked toward the restaurant without looking back.
62%
Hackett couldn’t help but let out a scoff. Since their divorce, this woman seemed to have become much more arrogant. The old Valeria used to be obedient and never gave him an attitude.
After parking the car, he got out and headed toward the restaurant.
Valeria walked into the restaurant, searching for her son’s figure. She hadn’t found Jepson and Alex yet, but she did notice Hackett following her.
She became a bit flustered. “Why are you following me?”
Valeria started to get nervous. Did Hackett discover something? Otherwise, why would he follow her inside?
Hackett’s handsome face was filled with disdain. “Who said I’m following you? The person I’m picking up is also here.”
Suddenly!
“Hackett! You finally came
Like a graceful butterfly, Cheryl threw herself into Hackett’s arms, wrapping her arms around his tall body.
Hackett didn’t have much of a reaction, simply responding with a faint “Hmm.”
Cheryl noticed Valeria’s presence from the corner of her eye, and her sweet smile instantly disappeared.
“Hackett, she… she is your ex–wife… why are you here together?
Cheryl’s watery eyes were instantly filled with tears.
Seeing this scene, Valeria couldn’t help but laugh.
So Cheryl had known about her existence for a long time, while Valeria only found out about this rival in love four years after the divorce.
Hackett suddenly felt a headache. He hated having to explain himself.
“It’s just a coincidence. We bumped into each other.
Cheryl’s still expression eased slightly. “Oh, I see. I misunderstood you. I’m sorry. You scared me. I thought you two were in contact again.”
These words imply that she suspected Valeria of intentionally getting close to Hackett.
