205

At River Valley.

Valeria and Alex were eating at the dining table. Alex was enjoying his meal by taking huge bites one after another.

On the other hand, Valeria had lost her appetite. Her mind was filled with the accusations that Mandy and Ernest had against her.

Ella brought chili soup over. "Hurry up and eat while your food still warm. It's easy to get a stomachache when you eat cold food."

"Okay, I'll eat." Valeria forced a smile and took a bite of her food,

At this moment, the doorbell rang.

Ella took off her apron. "You guys eat. I'll open the door."

Then, she walked towards the entrance. As Ella reached the door, she saw Hackett through the video feed of the doorbell. She was a little surprised.

She looked back at Valeria and lowered her voice. "Valeria, it's your ex-husband, Mr. James. Do you want me to open the door?"

Perhaps Valeria didn't want to see Hackett as of now.

Valeria's hand that was holding a fork paused for a moment and said, "Open the door."

Alex, who was eating at the side, suddenly stopped. He looked at Valeria with a strange look and said, "Mommy, I want to

pee."

"Go to the bathroom."

Alex put down the fork, jumped off the chair, and went straight to the bathroom. It was unknown if he really wanted to pee or just used it as an excuse to avoid seeing Hackett

Ella opened the door. It was surely Hackett who was standing outside. His black suit made him look extremely gloomy.

you here? Are you done with your family matter for now? Valeria put down the fork and walked over.

Hackett walked into the house with a gloomy expression. "Yes, where's Alex? I'm here to see him."

"Is he here just to see Alex?"
