Marriage Resumption (Valeria and Hackett)

Chapter 8

When Valeria saw this scene, she couldn't help but think of a word-pretentious! She turned around and wanted to leave. She had to find her son and get out of there as soon as she could. The situation was too dangerous now, and if Hackett saw Alex, there would be dire consequences.

However, Cheryl suddenly called out to Valeria, "Valeria, you don't mind joining us for a meal, right?"

"You haven't eaten yet?" Hackett frowned.

Cheryl smiled sweetly and said. "Well, you haven't eaten. You never eat on time, and that's not good for your stomach. Since Valeria is here, let's have a meal together. Even if you two are separated, you can still be friends, right?" Well... In the world of hypocrites, Cheryl could be considered an expert in pretending. She was extremely thick-skinned.

Valeria didn't hesitate to refuse. Tm sorry, but I can't. I don't want to have a meal with you."

"Valeria, could it be that you haven't moved on from this relationship? You should understand that you can't force someone who doesn't love you. What's the point of forcing a man who doesn't love you?" Cheryl said. Valeria was genuinely speechless. She forced down her anger and said with a smile, "Ms. Yeats, how did you draw a conclusion that I haven't moved on from this relationship?"

After speaking. Valeria caught sight of her son's figure!

At that moment "Mommy."

from a distance, Alex also spotted her and happily ran toward her. His little mouth was about to call out,

Valeria's heart almost jumped out of her chest when she saw this. She desperately made eye contact, silently signaling Alex not to call her "Mommy"! "Stop!" she yelled inwardly. "Don't call me 'Mommy!" "Mo..." Alex was halfway through calling out "Mommy" when he received the signal from his mother and immediately changed his words. "Motherfucker!"

Then, with his short legs, Alex turned around and ran away, hiding where Hackett couldn't see him.

This half-spoken, adorable curse word caught the attention of everyone present.

Hackett only heard the voice but couldn't see the person who said it. When he turned to look, he couldn't see anyone, only hearing the soft voice saying "motherfucker."

"Whose child was that? Hackett wondered. "He's so impolite. Did he learn to speak and curse at the same time?"

Valeria immediately stood in front of Hackett, blocking him from searching for Alex's figure. "What if Hackett accidentally. sees Alex?" she thought. "No! I can't let that happen!"

"Alright, I agree to have a meal together!" Valeria suddenly said.

Cheryl also withdrew her gaze from searching for the kid who cursed in a soft voice, feeling somewhat surprised. "Really? Hackett, Valeria agreed to have a meal with us. Will you agree tob? Please!"
