Chapter 147
Valeria was so angry that she laughed. "What makes you think I'll agree?"
"I can waive your rent."
Valeria was speechless as she thought, "This scumbag"
Valeria took a deep breath. "Td rather pay double the rent. You can't stay with us. Absolutely not!"
With that, she turned around and walked into the villa without looking at him again.
Hackett looked unhappy. He wondered, "Why is this woman so stubborn?
"Wouldn't that brat Alex hate me more if I left things like this? Wouldn't he become more and more afraid of me? "That won't do!
"I have to think of a way."
Suddenly, Hackett thought of a solution. He smiled meaningfully
Tomorrow night, Valeria and that little brat would beg him to stay the night.
The smile on the man's lips grew wider. He turned around and returned to the car, driving away slowly
The next day, when night fell, Hackett went straight to Starry Bay to pick up Valeria and Alex.
The little brat could not tolerate him now, so he did not go to kindergarten to pick Alex up from school today. He had originally said that he would bring Alex back to the old residence to play today, but he had broken his promise. Because of that, Barron called and reprimanded him for a long time. Barron nagged at him endlessly.
"I won't acknowledge you as my grandson anymore if you dare to make my great-grandson unhappy. Tell me why you fought in front of the child. You're already a father. What kind of person are you? You have to coax Alex properly!" Tyler drove Hackett slowly to the entrance of the villa and saw Hackett's impatient expression in the rearview mirror. Hackett, who was in the backseat of the car, pinched the space between his eyebrows. His tone was filled with helplessness. "I know, I know. I'm thinking of a way to remedy it. I'll hang up first"
After saying that, he hung up the phone. He suddenly felt the peace around his ears. His grandfather was getting more and more annoying as he got older.
"Mr. James, we're here," Tyler said.
Hackett pushed open the car door and got out. He walked to the door and pressed the doorbell.
He adjusted his emotions. Now, he had to pay attention to his expression in front of the child at all times. Otherwise, that little brat would only become more and more afraid of him.
After a while, the door opened and Valeria came out with a suitcase. She pulled Alex with his other hand.
Alex hid behind Valeria as soon as he saw Hackett standing outsile the door. It was as if he had seen a ghost in broad daylight
The man's expression darkened as he thought, "Am I that scary"
Hackett took the suitcase from Valeria. "Get in the car.""
Valeria nodded. Then, she turned around and comforted Alex, whose eyes were filled with panic. "Don't be afraid. We're moving. Let's go."
The little thing grabbed Valeria's clothes tightly, his adorable grape-like eyes filled with vigilance.
Hackett could not help but frown slightly when he saw his son like this. He had to improve his son's impression of him as soon as possible, Otherwise, their father-son relationship would only continue to deteriorate. Hackett also planned to get into the car after Valeria and Alex got into the car. However, just as he was about to sit beside Alex, the little brat crawled over Valeria to the other side..
This rejection was a little too much.
Hackett was so angry that he almost laughed. He thought, "Am I a demon? Is there a need to be so afraid?"
Valeria patted her son's head. "What are you doing?"
"I don't want to sit next to Hackett. I want to sit with Mommy." Alex said what
what was on his mind.
A child's words were sometimes very hurtful as they expressed their emotions directly.
Hackett's expression turned even uglier when he heard this, but he could only endure it. After all, he had traumatized the little brat yesterday.
Now, he was a heinous villain in Alex's heart.
Valeria couldn't help but chuckle. She glanced at the man beside her who had an ugly expression on his face. He really deserved it
Alex was probably the only person who could rein Hackett in.
No one spoke along the way. Alex hugged Valeria's hand tightly and peeked at Hackett from time to time.
Of course, Hackett also noticed Alex's peeking eyes. He suddenly looked at Alex, scaring Alex so much that he immediately turned his head away and pretended to look at the scenery.
A smile appeared on Valeria's face. Hackett was probably going to explode from anger. He was being treated like a demon by
his own son
Soon, they arrived at their new home.
The car slowly entered the neighborhood.
Valeria looked at the name of the neighborhood. It was called River Valley.
This was one of the most high-end residential areas in Alcomar Moreover, it was located in a good location and was very close to the law office. It only took ten minutes to drive to work This was too convenient.
This neighborhood was not a place that ordinary people could live in. Those who could live in this neighborhood were either rich or of noble status. The houses in this neighborhood cost at least 20 million dollars. However, it was not surprising that Hackett had a property here After all, it was in a convenient location.
The car slowly stopped at the fifth building. Tyler got out of the car and went to the trunk to take out their luggage.
Alex avoided Hackeit after they got out of the car. Hackett had been suppressing the anger in his heart.
He thought. "Forget it, he is still a child. I shouldn't be too calculative with him."
They took the elevator to the 21st floor. Tyler pulled the suitcases along and opened the door. He said, "Ms. Sharp, please come in
"Thank you, Tyler." Valeria pulled her son into the house.
Hackett glanced at Tyler. "Wait for me in the car."
"Understood." Thus, Tyler turned around and walked toward the elevator.
The man followed her into the house. He usually stayed here when he had a busy schedule because it was close to the office. It was only a few minutes away.
Hackett walked straight to the living room and sat on the sofa.
Valeria and her son looked around. It was a large flat that was nearly 3000 square feet and was rather modernly decorated. It looked like someone cleaned it every day. It was so clean that there was not a speck of dust. "Have you lived here before?" Valeria asked.Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.
The man on the sofa said in a low voice, "Yes. Sometimes I'll stay here when I'm in a hurry. It's very close to the company. It's only a few minutes away."
Alex had already gone around to take a look, and there was no sign of him.
"Alex, don't run around, do you hear me? Don't be naughty!" Valeria shouted. Alex's voice rang out from somewhere. "Got it, Mommy! You're so long-winded!" Hackett suddenly said, "You and Alex don't believe in the supernatural, right?"
Valeria was shocked.
She asked, stunned, "What do you mean?"
The man added, "Forget it. It's nothing. It's all nonsense. It's just a rumor. Oh right, the password for the lock is your birthday. You can also unlock it with your fingerprint. Do you need me to teach you how to operate it?"
"There's no need for that. I'll just unlock it with the password. Willt, what do you mean by the supernatural?" Valeria's curiosity was piqued. Besides, she was most afraid of ghosts and monsters. She would be scared half to death even watching horror movies.
