Marriage Resumption (Valeria and Hackett)

Chapter 265

Clayton wanted to say something more, but Loretta held him back and patiently explained to Valeria. "You've misunderstood. We didn't come to take the child away. We just wanted to see him. We were afraid you wouldn't want to see us if we went to your home. Hence,

we thought of coming here to peek a look secretly..."

Before Loretta could finish her explanation, Valeria ruthlessly interrupted, saying. "You call this peeking? You're standing right in front of Alex. Is this what you call peeking

Valeria handed Alex over to Ella "You two get in the car first."

Ella nodded and went toward Valeria's car while holding Alex in her arms.

Loretta was suddenly speechless. There really wasn't much she could say to explain.

They had really just wanted to sneak a peek at Alex when they came. But after arriving and seeing how happy Alex was, they couldn't help but want to get closer.

"Im sorry, it was our mistake..." Loretta apologized.

Clayton looked at his wife and felt a bit angry. After all, they were the elders, Valeria's parents. Why did they have to be so submissive?

"We're your parents, not your enemies. Is it necessary to treat us like this?" Clayton said.

Valeria chuckled, and there was a hint of mockery in her smile. It's been twenty years since we last met. I don't really care if you're my parents. And Mr. Maddox, don't forget you were quite imposing the first time you met me. It seemed like you were treating me like an enemy first."

She remembered very clearly the first time she met Clayton. He had asked her to draft a prenuptial agreement for Elsie. It was clear that he knew she was Hackett's ex-wife, and he seemed to want to embarrass her.

Clayton remained silent. He had done it on purpose, but he did not know that she was his biological daughter at that time.

Loretta looked confused, not understanding what was happening. "What does Elena mean? Have you met her before? You) tried to intimidate her?"

"I didn't know she was Elena back then!" Clayton said impatiently

Valeria sneered. "So, you're saying it was okay to hurt me because you didn't know I was your daughter? For the sake of your daughter's happiness, you're willing to trample on another daughter's self-respect? I really don't have any desire to acknowledge parents like you. Besides, I'm not lacking in any parental love now."
