Chapter 134
Valeria glanced at the time. It was already very late. What were Hackett and Keith doing? Were they planning to sleep here tonight? "Aren't the two of you going home? It's already very late. Alex is already asleep. Are you planning to watch television here all night?" Besides, neither of them seemed to be watching television.
Hackett crossed his arms and looked at Keith. He said coldly, "Why aren't you leaving? There are only two women and one child in this house. If I leave, won't it be awkward for a man like you to stay here?" He would never allow Keith and Valeria to be in the same room alone.
Keith smiled. "Then why aren't you leaving? Besides, this is my villa. I can stay as long as I want."
"Yours?" Hackett's tone was filled with doubt as he looked at Valeria.
"It's his house. I'm just renting it here," Valeria told him the truth
In an instant, the atmosphere became intense again, and Hackett's jealousy appeared. Why should his woman and child live in Keith's house?
He looked at Valeria. "Move out tomorrow. You can choose any house under my name or live in the manor with me."
The tone of the command stunned Valeria.
"Do you still think I'm your wife? We're divorced, okay? Why should I listen to you? Go back home and sleep. I just want to go to bed."
After saying that, Valeria could not help but yawn. She had been waiting for Hackett and Keith to leave so that he could take/ a hot shower and jump into bed.
When Hackett saw her yawning, he stood up and looked at Keith "Let's go together. I have something to tell you."
"Sure, I want to talk to you too."
Valeria's eyes lit up. These two men were finally going to move. Otherwise, they would have to sit until dawn.
"Well, gentlemen, have a good night. I'll go back to my room. I'm really tired." After saying that, Valeria stood up and wanted
them to leave.
She immediately walked upstairs after seeing them walk out of the door.
Hackett and Keith both drove out of Starry Bay.
Two cars slowly stopped on the road, and the windows rolled down.
Hackett looked at Keith through the window beside him and said in a deep voice, "I'm warning you, don't touch my woman
and child."
"She doesn't seem to be your woman anymore. As for the child, does Alex know that you're his biological father?" Keith's expression was calm, but his remark successfully ignited the anger in Hackett.
Hackett clenched his fists so tightly that his knuckles were cracking. "Do you have a homewrecker kink or what? You like what doesn't belong to you, huh?" he gritted his teeth and said.

"Haha... As far as I know, it was you who abandoned Valeria and Alex back then. Why do you sound like you're innocent now? It's Valeria who doesn't want to choose you. What's the use of talking to me? You're the one who did it, so you have to take responsibility." With that, Keith revealed a contemptuous smile and started the car to leave.
With Hackett left in the car, his delicate face tense, and he slammed his hand onto the steering wheel. "This jerk!"
Soon, he drove away.
Meanwhile, Valeria had just finished her shower.
In the villa, she went downstairs to get a glass of water.
She bumped into Ella, who was still cleaning up the kitchen.
"Ella, let's do it tomorrow. It's already pretty late. You should go to bed, and don't burn yourself out," she said.
Ella looked up and smiled at her, saying, "I was thinking of taking a few days off, so I did a bit extra. By the way, have Mr. Cooper and Mr. James both left?"
"Yes, finally, or how could we go to sleep with two men staying in the living room?" she muttered softly.
Ella put down her work and walked up to her. "Valeria, tell me the truth. Do you still have feelings for Mr. James?"
Valeria stopped pouring water. "Of course not."
"Oh... I thought you three looked pretty happy together."
"Happy? Is there any happiness? He hadn't seen Alex since he was born. Do you think he'll be a good father? If you were me, would you be at ease letting him take care of the kid?" Valeria couldn't control her emotions as she talked.
Ella pondered for a moment. "Well... he seems to have quite a bit of patience when interacting with Alex. If you're thinking of finding a father for Alex, it's probably better if it's his biological father after all. Blood ties do matter."
Valeria didn't know what to say for a moment.Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.
Just because they were related by blood, Alex seemed to accept Hackett very quickly. How could he be so unwary towards a strange man?
"Ella, if you were me, would you still choose to remarry your ex-husband, even if he abandoned you and his son back then?"
Ella frowned and fell into a dilemma. "The situation is pretty tricky... You should keep testing Mr. James, though."
She couldn't help but inquire further, "Don't you think Mr. Cooper is also very suitable for marriage? He's very responsible and mature."
Ella smiled and shook her head. "That does seem to be the case now, but after all, Mr. Cooper has never been married or had any children. If I want to have a family with him, there should be many obstacles, right? For example, I think it's quite difficult for his parents to accept the fact that I have a son. It looks like Mr. Cooper comes from a distinguished family, right?"
Yes, Valeria knew that there would be many obstacles, but she seriously did not want to return to Hackett and repeat the same mistake.
Suddenly, Valeria's phone rang. It was Keith.
She picked up the phone and heard Keith's voice. "Valeria, are you free tomorrow or the date after to have lunch with my parents? They would like to meet you."
Bw.
Speaking of the devil, was she going to meet his parents this soon?

Valeria was stunned for a moment and hesitated for a few seconds. "Well... Isn't it too early? I'm not ready yet."
"It's fine. My parents are pretty open-minded. It's just a lunch, but they might ask when we are getting married." "Alright, just let me know the time."
"Okay, don't go to bed too late."
After hanging up, Valeria looked helpless. "What should I do? Keith's parents want to have lunch with me. I'm so nervous..."
"With Mr. Cooper around, what are you afraid of? His parents cannot do anything to you in front of him," Ella said as if she did not understand why Valeria was nervous.
That was true. With Keith around, there was nothing to be afraid of. It was just so awkward.
"Stop worrying and go get some sleep. You'll look your best when meeting his parents tomorrow." Ella patted Valeria's shoulder, trying to calm her down.
Valeria smiled and did not say anything.
She then fell asleep very soon.
The next day, she woke up early.
Valeria and Ella were about to drive Alex to kindergarten when a white Aston Martin stopped in front of them.
Alex shouted right away and slipped out of Valeria's car. "Wow! So cool! Mommy, the car is so cool!"
The door slowly opened, and Hackett got out of the car. "Alex, get in the car. I will send you to school."
"Yay! Your car is so cool. Do you have many more in your garage? Can I go to visit your house!" Alex was excited and could not wait to go to Hackett's garage to see his cars.
