Chapter 266

Clayton looked up at him. "When will you take this little guy out to play next time? Let me know. Loretta and I will join."

Normally, he didn't have a chance to be alone with this little guy. Besides, Valeria probably wouldn't agree.

Suddenly, Clayton felt a pang of sadness.

So what if he was successful in his career? What did it matter? His daughter, who had been lost for twenty years, now looked. at him like a stranger.

Back then, Clayton and his wife were so busy with work that they accidentally lost their eldest daughter. Luckily, they had finally found her again, or they might have regretted it for a lifetione.

In his dreams at night, he had dreamt countless times of his eldest daughter being heartlessly hurt, and he couldn't even find her body.

So when he saw the paternity test results, it felt so unreal. Elena had really come back.

Hackett nodded. "I spend time with him every weekend. And it's almost the weekend again. I'll let you know."

Clayton grunted in agreement and reluctantly handed the phone back. Then he said, "I have a question for you."

"What is it?" Hackett seemed to have a fairly good guess.

Why did you divorce Valeria? And why did you let her raise the child alone? Don't you know how tough it is for a woman to raise a child on her own?" Clayton questioned Hackett from a father's perspective.

Hackett's expression remained calm as he spoke, "I did some foolish things back in those years, and I had selfish reasons for choosing to divorce her. But as for the child, I didn't know she was pregnant, let alone that she was raising the child alone. So now, I'm trying my best to make amends."
