Resumption 313
Chapter 313
Naomi, who was sitting at ross them, chewed the food slowly in in elegant
manner.
Valeria and Hackett were feeling Alex, but Alex's jet-black round yes were fixated on Naomi. No one knew what Alex was looking at
Naomi looked up and saw the little guy staring at her.
Naomi revealed a gentle smile and asked in a baby-talk voice as she was coaxing a child, "Alex, why are you looking at met like that? Is there anything on my face?"
Alex stared at Naomi and asked sincerely, "Ma'am, don't you have a home? Why are you staying at my father's house? Aren't only Mommy and I allowed to stay at my father's house?" Everyone at the table fell silent at those words.
Naomi's awkward smile froze on her face, not knowing how to respond.
Valeria quickly scooped a spoonful of soup and stuffed it into Alex's mouth. "Keep quiet and focus on your food."
Valeria didn't expect this brat to say such crude words. She wondered angrily, "Who taught him how to speak like that?"
It was obvious to Naomi. Naomi had shifted her hatred to Valeria because Naomi felt that a three-year-old child could not have said such words. To be able to say such words, the kid must have been taught by his mother.
"It's because...
Naomi was about to answer when Hackett interrupted Naomi. "Alex, Naomi's body is weak because she saved your life. She needs to recuperate at our place for some time. She's not staying at our house indefinitely. She's merely a house guest. Do you understand?" Alex listened attentively and asked again, "Does that mean that she will leave after a while?"
"Yes," Haekett answered without hesitation.
Naomi was a little hurt. This man had no intention of keeping her. It was almost as if he seemed eager to chase her away.
Alex was suddenly enlightened and danced with joy. That's good Only Mommy and I can stay at your house, right?"
The man smiled and replied patiently, "Yes, only you and your mommy can live here forever, as long as you're willing." Valeria was completely speechless. She thought, "What's Hackett doing? He clearly knew that the kid was talking nonsense, but he still played along." At this moment, Naomi, who sat across them, felt as if she was sitting on pins and needles. She was like an outsider, lookin at the happy display of this family of three.
Naomi did not have the appetite for another bite, so she could only find an excuse to leave.
"Hackett, I'll leave you guys to it. I suddenly feel a little dizzy. I'll go back and sleep fora while."
With that, Naomi stood up and left, not waiting for Hackett's reply.
Actually, Hackett did not even look up. He was only focused on feeding his son.
On the other hand, Valeria understood the pain in Naomi's heart Valeria watched Naomi leave and said, "Do you really think Naomi doesn't have any feelings for you now?"
"I don't know. In any case; dont have any feelings for her," Hackert said nonchalantly and expressionlessly as Hacken fed
Alex.
It was late at night..
Valeria kept telling Alex stories until the late hours and finally cojixed this brat to sleep.
Hackett was also lying on the other side of the bed. Alex was sleeping in the middle of the bed. Alex's two small hands gripped their clothes tightly as if they were forming a seal over iteir bodies, rendering then immobile. Seeing that Alex had fallen asleep, Valeria heaved a sigh of relief
She placed the storybook on the bedside table and gently removed the edge of her clothes from Alex's grasp. Then, she slowly got up and left the bed.
Hackett slowly pried his clothes from the kid's hand and instead, placed the doll in the kid's arms for him to hold.
Valeria tiptoed out of the bedroom and the man followed her.
After walking out of the room, Valeria finally dared to speak. "Why did you follow me out? Go back and accompany Alex. I can drive myself."
"It's already so late. Do you have to go back? What's wrong with staying here for a night!" Hackett put his hands in his pockets. He looked like he wanted her to stay the night, but he did not want to force her. Valeria rolled her eyes at him. "This is my principle. I told you before. If I want to leave, I will leave no matter what." The two of them walked out of the villa and waited for the driver to drive the car over to the manor.
Hackett stood behind her and looked at her delicate figure. She had been exhausted during this period and had been accompanying their child in secret without any rest.
What they didn't know was that Naomi was standing on the balcony of a guest room on the third floor, watching this unfold Under the night sky, that handsome man and beautiful woman looked like a match made in heaven. Damn it! This is as breathtaking and surreal as a vivid painting. Naomi thought. After a long time, Naomi clenched her fists and bit her lower lip. She suddenly turned around and entered the room. She was afraid that if she continued to watch, she would not be able to help herself and rush over to slap Valeria The n
night was dead silent.
The driver finally drove the car over. Valeria was waiting to get in the car and leave.
After the driver got out of the car, Valeria couldn't wait to get in. However, she didn't start the car for a long time. Instead, she rolled down the window and looked at the tall male figure outside the window.
Valeria uttered worriedly, "Stay by Alex's side for the entire nigli Don't leave him alone. I'll come over early in the morning.
"Why are you doing this? Why don't you just stay here and not go back and forth? Aren't you tired?" Hackett felt worried for
her
She had not rested well in the hospital for so many days. Now that she had to run back and forth to torture her body, how could her body take it?
"Don't worry about me. I can do it"
With that, the car window slowly rolled up. Then, Valeria started the car and turned around to leave.
7811
Hackett stood on the spot and watched the car's tail lights gradually disappear into the manor. His heart was empty.
At some point in time, Valeria had already occupied an important place in Hackett's heart. As Hackett watched Valeria leave, Hackett felt a little uncomfortable.
Hackett slowly turned around and walked into the villa. He still Bad to go back and accompany his son. If his son woke up and did not see Valeria, he would probably cause a ruckus again
"Shit! Go to hell! Damn you!"
Naomi went mad again. She swept her hand across the dressing table, sending all the cosmetics crashing to the floor with a loud bang.
The maid rushed in. "What's wrong, Ms. Rogers? What's the matter with you?"
"Get out! Get out! I don't need you!" Naomi was like a crazy worn, cursing at the maid in the dark.
The maid wanted to turn on the lights, but she was confused and her body trembled after being scolded by Naomi. She could only turn around and escape from the dark room.
Amidst the dim moonlight spilling through the window, Naomi peered at herself in the mirror, looking a little eerie. "You've become ugly after so many years. Hackett is less likely to fall for you now. You have to think of a way. Are you going to sit back and wait for your demise?" Naomi roared at herself in the mirror.This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.
