Marriage Resumption (Valeria and Hackett)

Chapter 29

In the Emerald Garden

Valeria wearily made her way home only to find the nanny preparing dinner while the excited voice of Alex echoed from the bedroom

It seemed he was on the phone with Keith again.

Valeria didn't understand why Alex called Keith every chance he got.)

She tiptoed to the bedroom door, gently pushing it open to see Alex clutching his cell phone, erupting in joyful laughter.

She leaned in to catch their conversation.

"Keith, are you coming back the day after tomorrow? Seriously? You better not be lying to me! Why didn't Mommy even tell- me about that "Well, your mommy probably wanted to surprise you."

""Wow! What

takes me out."

surprise! Keith, will you take me out for a nice meal after your return the day after tomorrow? Mommy never

"Sure, your mommy and I will treat you to a nice dinner. With me around, you can eat whatever your heart desires

Great! Keith is the best"

Valeria listened for a long while. Keith certainly had a way with kids but wasn't even a father himself. "How does he gain such experience? Is it just natural talent?" Valeria thought.

She entered the bedroom, purposely clearing her throat.

Alex heard her coughing and leaped off the bed like a startled bunny. He quickly informed Keith on the phone, "Mommy' back! She doesn't like me disturbing your work, Keith. I'll talk to you the day after tomorrow. Goodbye!" He hastily ended the call and tossed the phone onto the solitary couch.

"Mommy, I only chatted with Keith for a few minutes. I promise I didn't disturb his work. I called during his break."

Alex explained earnestly, his innocent big round eyes gazing at her.

Valeria exaggeratedly put on a long face and frowned. "Really? How did you know it was his break time?"

I did the calculations. Considering the time difference between here and Emmerick, Keith should be on his break now." Alex counted with his little fingers as if he had meticulously calculated it for a while.

Alex was quite intelligent

She walked over and gently stroked her son's little head, sighing You like Keith that much?"

Alex thought his mother finally had feelings for Keith, and he suddenly looked up at her, his eyes shining. "Of course! Mommy, I've thought of that carefully, and Keith is perfect for you as a husband. He's an absolutely perfect, good guy." Valeria was speechless

"An absolutely perfect, good guy?
