Marriage Resumption (Valeria and Hackett)

Chapter 393

Valeria gazed into the man's deep black eyes, her thoughts drifting.

"Am I genuinely that indifferent? Always keeping him at arm's length?" She wondered.

Taking advantage of her moment of calm, Hackett sought to break down her defenses. His handsome face drew closer, appearing as if he might kiss her.

Valeria obediently closed her eyes, anticipating his impending kiss.

The man's lips curled slightly, and he was confident he was about to succeed.

However, just at that moment, the bedroom door suddenly swung open, and the voice of their little one chimed in, "Mommy! Daddy! What are you doing? Why don't you include me in your fun? Hmph!" Their little bundle of joy rushed into the room with a gust of cool air, and Valeria instinctively turned away from the man's face.

Hackett was nudged aside and closed his eyes helplessly, knowing this little rascal would disrupt the moment.

If he were not the father, he would have kicked him out.

The little one climbed onto the bed and snuggled into Valeria Sharp's arms. "Mommy, I want to sleep with you guys too. You guys don't love me no matter what you play. That's not nice!"

The little one clambered onto the bed and into Valeria's embrace. "Sweetheart, your daddy and I weren't playing; we were discussing something," Valeria replied, her face blushing. With a child around, these awkward moments were inevitable.

Hackett wore an annoyed expression. He pinched his son's small cheek and ground his teeth, muttering, "You couldn't have picked a worse time to show up."

"What are you doing?" Valeria asked as she slapped the man's hand away, seeing that he was going too far.

Hackett looked frustrated, got up, and said, "You two, get some sleep. I'm going out for a bit."

Sleep seemed out of reach for him anyway.

Valeria cradled her baby in her arms, watching the man's retreating figure, unable to help but chuckle.

"Mommy, why are you laughing?" Alex asked.

"Nothing. Does mommy want to tell you a story?" Valeria replied.
