Marriage Resumption (Valeria and Hackett)

Chapter 143

Hackett stood up and turned to look at Valeria, who was approaching from a distance. He watched as Alex threw himself into her arms, creating a touching scene of the mother-and-son embrace. If someone did not know better, they might think he had mistreated the

child.

"Mommy... The boy sobbed as he spoke.

Valeria hugged her son's weak body tightly, listening to his cries her heart racing. What had happened to him?

"What's wrong? Did Hackett bully you? Why are you crying like this?"

Alex clung to her slender neck, crying as he said, "It's not like that. He did not bully me. I got scared when I saw those weird guys, and their clothes were so strange..."

Weird guys? Strange clothes?

Valeria gently comforted her son. "It's okay, it's okay, everything fine now. Mommy is here, don't cry

After a while of comforting, the little guy fell asleep on her shoulder in seconds, seemingly exhausted from playing so much

"Let's put the child on the couch for now." Hackett noticed that Valeria was wearing high heels and carrying the boy, and her legs must be tired.

Valeria glanced down at her slim high heels and admitted that she was quite tired. Plus, the little boy in her arms was getting heavier day by day, and her arms began to ache after a while. She gently placed her bag on the outdoor couch nearby.

At that moment, Mandy's voice suddenly rang out from behind them. "Hackett, why did you drive away those exorcists? I invited them to help appease the spirits. Lately, I have had this constant feeling that Abbot's spirit has been following me Have you forgotten about your recent car accident? It's all karma, especially choosing your birthday for it.
