Marriage Resumption (Valeria and Hackett)

COMMENT Chapter

388

This time, Hackett couldn't contain his anger. He rose from his seat furiously. "Damn it! How dare you get close to my son!"

"So, I need you to come up with a plan. What should we do next Lawrence has claimed Alex as his son. It's unfathomable. You understand that," Valeria said, appearing quite helpless.

She had explained to that man countless times, but it was all in vain. She was absolutely certain that the child was his.

Hackett had a question. He turned to Valeria and asked, "Why does he believe Alex is his son? Did you have any interaction with him during the years you were away? What transpired between you and him?"

At the mere contemplation of this possibility, Hackett experienced the sensation of thousands of ants gnawing at his heart, a tormenting feeling he couldn't escape.

"How would I possibly know why he believes Alex is his son? During those years, I only heard of him through Emmerick and never had any chance to interact with him. A prominent family like theirs wouldn't have any interest in someone like me, a newcomer to the legal world! What are you thinking?" Valeria replied with frustration.

Valeria was growing increasingly frustrated. "I had intended to implore him to help resolve this situation, but why is he casting suspicion upon me?"

Sensing the growing tension in the room, Tyler Hughes rose to his feet, cleared his throat, and interjected, "Ms. Sharp, you mentioned Lawrence provided a paternity test to establish his father-son relationship with Mr. Alex? How is that possible? The DNA test must be fraudulent. So, who fabricated this paternity test?"

"Yes, that's what I thought too. Who was behind this? Who lured Lawrence to me? Moreover, he said that he had investigated for a long time and found out that the woman who climbed into his bed four years ago was me. Then, he had been observing my life as a single mother for the past four years. He was still looking forward to the day I took my child to him, but I came straight back to the country. That's why he came to look for me."

Valeria reminisced about everything Simon had conveyed, and it struck her that there were no inconsistencies. It was as if he had been absolutely sure from the start that she was carrying his child.

As she continued to speak, her tone grew increasingly solemn. She appeared to be wholly disregarding Hackett's emotions

At this moment, Hackett's expression had become extremely unpleasant. Tyler couldn't endure it any longer and hastily concocted an excuse to escape the uncomfortable situation. "Uh, I'll go check on Mr. Alex. He might be hungry." With that, he turned and made his exit.

As Hackett observed her nostalgic expression, a wave of jealousy washed over him, causing a sneer to form on his face. Valeria regained her composure and inquired, "What is the source of your amusement? Is there something humorous?" "Did Hackett find it amusing to witness a woman and child in peril?" Valeria was unaware of the reason behind Hackett's laughter.
