Chapter 139

Hackett let out a disdainful sneer. "Do you think that I ordered Keith's parents to say those harsh words?"

Valeria had nothing to say. Keith's parents' words made it clear that they looked down on her and felt that she was not worthy of their son.

It seemed even if Hackett did not make a scene tonight, this meal would still end on bad terms.

Keith's parents were not here to eat with her, but to pose a threat in order to scare her off. "Take me home."

Valeria opened the door on the passenger side and got in. Alex looked up and saw her.

"Mommy, why are you so late? Hackett and I have been waiting for a long time."

I'm sorry, Mommy was held up by something. Let's go home, okay? Have you had any food at the Hackett's house? Are you hungry?" Valeria happened to not have eaten anything. She was thinking of going home and making some food. However, Afex said to her excitedly, "Mommy, the chef at Hackett's is great at cooking. I've eaten a lot. Can I go to Hackett's place every day for food?"

Valeria was at a loss for words. This little brat's stomach had been bribed by the chef from the James family again.

At this moment, Hackett settled in the driver's seat. "Of course. Come to my house every day from now on. Our chef knows

how to make a lot of delicious food."

Valeria looked at her son. "Baby, Mommy has been busy these past few days, and Ella has asked for time off, so Hackett will take care of you. You have to be obedient in his house. Don't cause trouble and don't be naughty, understand?" "Mommy, I understand. You've been nagging about it so many times." Alex lowered his head again and immersed himself in the fun of playing with his phone. His little paws tapped on the screen very skillfully.

Hackett smiled. This brat's temper was very similar to his when he was young. He was always so impatient.

The car slowly drove away.

At this moment, Keith happened to have just arrived to see the back of the car as it drove away. So he decided to drive straight to Starry Bay.

At Starry Bay.

Hackett drove the mother and son home, but Valeria had no intention of having him stay for a cup of drink.

"You can head back now. Thank you for taking care of the kid today."

Valeria picked up Alex. She snatched the phone
