Chapter 156

Valeria said again, "Did you listen to what I said?"

She thought that this man was going to pretend to have lost his memory again and start asking for a remarriage without caring about her wishes. Hackett finally shifted his gaze from the television to her face. "Yes, I did. I respect your wishes and won't force you to do anything you don't like." What?

Valeria was stunned.

Had this damn man changed? He could actually say such reasonable words?

Was this still the domineering Hackett?

Valeria was stunned for a few seconds before saying, "Are you sure? Have you really thought it through? You won't force me to remarry or fight with me for custody of the child?" Why did she not believe it?

This was Hackett, the Alcomara tyrant. How could he become so easy to talk to? Suddenly, he was enlightened?

Hackett's expression did not change. "Well, since you don't want to remarry and don't want to raise the child in the James family, I respect your wishes. Moreover, the child has grown up by your side since he was young. He probably can't leave you,

but I have a condition."

See, she knew it. How could Hackett be so easy to talk to?

She wanted to see what conditions there were.

""What condition?"

Valeria thought that he would make things difficult for her.

to remarry, you

but have to let

you

Unexpectedly, Hackett only said, "I can choose not to fight with you for custody or force the child know that I'm his biological father. Moreover, I have the right to visit at any time in the future, which means that you can't hinder our father-son relationship." Was it that simple?

Valeria was dumbfounded.

Why

did it feel so unreal? Was this a dream?

"That's it? That's all you want?" She still could not quite believe her eyes

Hackett nodded. "Yes, I've been thinking a lot in the past few hours. Feelings can't be forced, and it's meaningless to do so. Perhaps you loved me four years ago, but times have changed...

Valeria did not say anything and just listened to him quietly.

"I don't have any other requests now. I just hope that you can let the child know that I'm his father. In the future, I can come and play with the child anytime. I don't want the child to lack fatherly love on the path of growth." The man spoke very sincerely. There was no trace of lying at all

Valeria was almost convinced...

It seemed that Hackett had really thought a lot in the past few hours.

However, Valeria did not know that all of this was the idea of Finn, Hackett's friend. She was falling into a trap step by step.

Valeria did not know how to respond to Hackett's sudden reasonableness.

"I... won't stop you from visiting the child. After all, it's your child. As for whether the child acknowledges you as his father, that will depend on your ability. After all, he's still young and doesn't know anything."

Hackett said in a deep voice, "Yes, I know, and I also understand. Anyway, I'm not in a hurry."

In the face of the man's sudden change, Valeria actually felt an inexplicable sense of loss? She could not explain what it was like, but she felt strange....

Hackett raised his wrist to look at the time. It was almost midnight.

He picked up his jacket. "It's getting late. I'll leave first. If you and the child need anything, call me anytime. Although... we might not be able to be husband and wife in the future, I'm still his father. I'll still bear the responsibility." Valeria was stunned for a moment before hse stood up as well. "Didn't you say that you wanted to stay here?"

Hackett chuckled. "I'm just joking with you. I'm not that annoying. Since you don't want to have anything to do with me, I should pay attention to my sense of boundaries."

Oh... drive slowly then." That seemed to be all she could say.

She suddenly felt very awkward.

Hackett turned around and looked at her. It was as if he had seen through her heart. Then, without looking back, he said, "Bye."

He did not pester her or stay any longer. He opened the door and left.

After hearing the door close, Valeria confirmed that what Hackett said was true.

This man had grown up overnight? Why did he seem to have become a different person? From a violent King of Hell to a gentleman? Outside the door.

After Hackett walked out, the calmness on his handsome face instantly disappeared without a trace. He immediately called

Finn.

The man's tone was nasty. "I've already done as you said. If it doesn't work, I'll skin alive!"

On the other end of the phone, Finn's lazy and satisfied voice said, "What's the hurry? This is a huge project. You've just taken the first step and you're already thinking of having an effect. Don't worry, I guarantee that you'll return with a beauty. As long as you do as I say, there won't be a problem." Hackett walked into the elevator and pressed a button. He snorted. "Failure is not allowed. Otherwise, you'll have to compensate for my woman and child."

"Alright, alright, alright. If you fail, it's on me. You're alone now. You might as well come and drink with me. Remember, you have to pretend to let go. Don't let her see that you still have any thoughts of remarrying."

Hackett's brows were filled with impatience. "Got it!"

With that, he hung up.

He did not agree with Finn's wife-chasing plan, but he did not know how to chase women, so he could only listen to Finn.

After all, Finn was an expert in love...

The next day, early morning.

After Valeria sent the baby to kindergarten, she went to law office. As expected, she was blocked by Keith again.

The moment she entered the office, she saw Keith sitting on the reception area's sofa, waiting for her.

When he heard the door open, Keith immediately stood up and turned to look at her. He went straight to the point. "Valeria, are you sure you want to remarry Hackett? Aren't you afraid of repeating the same mistake? Why did you..." Before Keith could finish, Valeria interrupted him. "No, I've already made it clear to Hackett. From now on, we're friends. We'll raise the child together and won't remarry. He won't snatch the child's custody from me."

Keith was also in disbelief. He said in a doubtful tone, "Hackett said this? He agreed to it?"

With Hackett's temper, how could he agree to give up custody? Moreover, anyone with a discerning eye could tell how much he cared about Valeria. How could he really let it go just like that?

"Yes, I talked to him for a long time yesterday. Perhaps he also realized that feelings can't be forced. He said that he would respect all my wishes and won't force me to do anything again."

Although Valeria also felt that this man's change was a little strange, it was the truth. She had achieved her goal.

Keith still could not quite believe that Hackett would make such a big concession.
