Marriage Resumption (Valeria and Hackett)

Chapter 170

Hackett's expression grew increasingly serious as he stared intently at her. "So why did you tarnish my irnage in front of our son? When have I ever said I didn't want you both? I had no idea about Alex. If I had known, how could I possibly not want him?" he questioned. He had been nursing this resentment for a long time. If Valeria ad explained the pregnancy more thoroughly four years ago, he would never have initiated the divorce proceedings.

Valeria remained silent, her thoughts lingering on the pointlessness of their argument. "Why are we arguing about this again?" she wondered.

She turned her head away and glanced at the pot, where the water was about to boil over.

"The water is boiling," she remarked.

Only then did Hackett notice the boiling water in the pot. He lifted the lid, added some cold water, and began preparing the spaghetti,

The two of them cooked the spaghetti in silence.

Earlier, the teacher had informed them that after dinner, everyone would gather on the open field for games

"Mommy, is the spaghetti ready? I am so hungry." Alex called out, running back, all sweaty with his face flushed from playing.

Valeria smiled and replied, "Yes, it is ready. Come and enjoy your spaghetti.

After serving them both portions of spaghetti, Hackett didn't serve himself and observed them.

"Aren't you going to eat? Valeria asked curiously.

But he responded, "I am not hungry. I had eaten just before we left."

Actually, he had noticed that Valeria had only prepared enough spaghetti for one person, and since Alex had a small. appetite, it was s sufficient for the two of them.

In a moment of reflection, he realized that he had indeed undergone significant changes.

He would never have considered others in the past, which was why his grandfather often called him selfish and spoiled. Now that he had become a father, he seemed to have become much more compassionate.

As he watched his son eat heartily in this setting, a smile played on his lips. He reached out with a large hand and stroked his son's fluffy head, feeling a touch of sympathy even though everything was fine now.
