Marriage Resumption (Valeria and Hackett)

Hackett hugged the little thing in his arms and felt extremely emotional. Suddenly, he felt he had more responsibility to

take on.

At the side, Valeria slowly said. "Hackett, you have to pull yourself together. There are still many things that you have to deal with. Grandpa doted on you the most when he was alive. You have to personally see to his funeral" Upon mentioning Barron, her eyes could not help but glitter with tears.

She knew that Hackett was the most miserable person in the world right now. His grandfather, who had doted on him the most since he was young, had passed away just like that. How could he accept this? Especially since his father had also passed. Now that he was the only man left in the Jarnes family, all the burdens fell on his

shoulders.

She had heard that the man had locked himself in his room for whole day. He did not eat or drink and only used alcohol to numb himself.

Valeria could understand this feeling. It was just like when her mother passed away.

Hackett let go of his son in his arms and touched his soft little face. "You are a good boy, Daddy has let you down."

Alex did not say anything. He just looked at Hackett quietly.

He felt that his mommy was lying to him just to comfort Hackett.

"Take the kid back and get some rest. I'll pull myself together. I know how much responsibility I have."

Valeria was stunned for a moment, but she still nodded and held Alex's hand. "Say goodbye to Dad. Let's go back." "Goodbye, Daddy." Alex waved his hand.

The rotten heart in Hackett's chest seemed to have been revived. He reached out and touched Alex's little head. "Goodbye! Valeria took her son's hand and walked out of the villa. The little guy did not feel happy at all about reuniting with his father

She found it very strange. Even if there was no sense of joy, why was there no feeling of surprise or rejection?

Was this little kid's ability to accept new things so strong?

"Alex, aren't you surprised that I told you that Hackett is your father? Why does it feel like you already knew?"

This three-year-old baby was too calm..

Alex looked up at his mommy. "No, I know Mommy was lying to me. We were just comforting Hackett Before we came, Mommy told me that Hackett was in a bad mood." Valeria was at a loss for words.

So this little kid thought that they were putting on

an act

Valeria was speechless. She did not know how to explain it to Alex.

She squatted down and looked at her son's innocent face. "Alex, m serious. I'm not joking with you, and I'm not comforting Hackett by saying that. Hackett is really your father. He's the father you keep asking about when you wonder who your biological father is. Do you understand?"

Alex looked at his mommy-in a daze and did not react for a long time. No one knew what he was thinking.

Valeria was a little flustered. "Alex? What's wrong?"

Alex suddenly pouted and looked very aggrieved. "Mommy, you're lying to me again. Didn't you tell me that Daddy didn't want us? You even said that Daddy hated us so he left. But Hacker doesn't seem to hate us. Instead, he likes us very much. Valeria was speechless again.

"I'm sorry. It's Mommy's fault. Mommy said bad things about Daddy because I was afraid that Daddy would take you away from me. But now that Daddy is in his most difficult time, we should be there for him, right?"

She felt saying these words to a three-year-old would be too intense, however, she was out of choices.

Alex stared at her for a while then silently walked towards the car.

Valeria stood up and followed behind her son's small figure. So this was his real reaction. How could he accept Hackett as his biological father so calmly!

Three days later, at Barron's funeral.

The sky was gray and cloudy as if a storm was about to break at any moment.

Everyone's mood was heavy, and the atmosphere was suffocating

Hackett was wearing a black suit with a white chrysanthemum on his chest. He looked gloomy and expressionless.

He bowed to everyone who came to attend the funeral.

Mandy James stood at the side with a pale face and wiped her tears because she felt that retribution was coming again.

First, her husband passed away. Now, her father-in-law passed away as well...

Mandy looked at Hackett worriedly. She was worried that her son would be next.

Cheryl also appeared at the funeral. She came to the front of the memorial tablet and bowed three times. When she saw Barron's corpse lying there, she was so frightened that her face instantly turned pale. She could not help but recall the scene that day.

Nothing was going to happen. No one knew she'd done it. No one ever would. And no one had been there to witness it.

The only person who knew what happened was Barron. Now that he was dead, there was no evidence. It was as if God was helping her.

As long as she did not admit it, no one would ever know that she was the one who pushed Barron down the stairs.

Cheryl puffed out her chest and walked up to Hackett. She was about to speak when the man spoke first

"Don't mess with me at Grandpa's funeral. I don't want to talk to you at all."

After saying that, he only bowed politely and looked at the next mourner expressionlessly.

Cheryl swallowed her words because Hackett's expression was really ugly at that moment. He was filled with hostility.This is from NôvelDrama.Org.

Soddenly, lightning flashed and thunder rumbled outside. The sound of raindrops fell.

Cheryl was so frightened that she trembled. She quickly turned around and looked at the sudden heavy rain as if it was acting as a warning for her.

She turned around and fled..

She happened to run into Valeria and Alex, who had come to pay their respects.

Cheryl left in a panic. Valeria held her son's hand and bowed in front of Barron's memorial tablet.

The little guy looked at Valeria's grandfather in the photo and asked curiously, "Mommy, why is your Grandpa in the photo. as well? Does he have to live in this photo forever?" Valeria held her son's small hand tightly and said, 'Be good and say hello to great-grandfather. He likes you the most"

Unfortunately, he had only met Alex two or three times.

At the thought of this, Valeria could not help but feel sad. If she had known that this day would come, she would have asked Alex to spend more time with Barron. "Hello, great-grandfather. I'm Alex. Mommy brought me to see you." Alex greeted Barron in the photo with a serious attitude.

Valeria really wanted to cry when she heard her son's childish voice.

She took her son to Hackett. In a few days, the man had lost weight. Although he didn't look as dispirited as before, he had a gloomy aura and was as cold as a robot. Hackett still bowed to Valeria according to etiquette.

Hackett, are you... alright..."

Before Valeria could finish her sentence, Mandy, who was beside her, shouted, "Everything is fine without you! You jinx!"

Jinx?

Valeria was shocked.

Hackett frowned and looked at his mother fiercely. "If you don't want to be cast out by me, shut up, and don't make a scene at my grandfather's funeral!" Mandy shut her mouth and cried non-stop.
