Chapter 235
Hackett gut in the car.
After he fastened his seatbelt, he picked up the photo frame bele him and looked closely at it again.
The little girl in the photo looked so familiar to him...
"Where have I seen her before... Hackett could not help but muter to himself softly.
He still could not recall. He placed the photo frame on the passenger seat, started the car, and slowly drove away. Suddenly, his phone buzzed.
Hackett took a look. It was Valeria. It was a little strange that Valeria was still willing to call him.
He hesitated for a moment before picking up the phone. As expected, it was not Valeria's voice on the phone but Alex's "Daddy? What are you doing?"
Hackett was delighted to hear his son's voice. He replied with a smile, T'm driving now. I'm going home to sleep
"Going home? To Mommy's place?" Alex's voice was filled with excitement.
Hackett smiled helplessly. "No, I've been a little busy recently. I'm heading to the office and sleep there.
"Then why did you say that you're going home to sleep? Is the office considered home? Hmph!"
Hearing Alex's angry voice, Hackett's smile grew wider. "Why aren't you sleeping? Are you not going to school tomorrow!"
T
"No! Daddy, you don't care about me at all. Tomorrow is the weekend. I don't need to go to school. Can you go out with me tomorrow? I don't want to stay at home. It's boring.
Hackert frowned. He still had to meet a few clients tomorrow. He probably did not have time.
Yet, he did not want to reject his son's request. After all Hackett was already four years late for his fatherly love to Alex. He could not delay any longer.
"Alright, go to sleep now. I will pick you up, and we will hang out after you wake up. How about that?"
"Yeah, Daddy. You're the best!"
"Go to sleep. Good night."
"Good night, Daddy"
After hanging up the phone, a blissful smile appeared on the comers of Hackett's mouth. Recently, he had been filled with troubles. Only hearing this little guy's voice could make him smile from the bottom of his heart. Returning to the office, Hackett placed the photo frame aside and made a call.
"Come to my office and take a photo. Help me restore the appearance 20 years later of the girl in it. Give it to me as soon as possible."
Hackett ended the call and stared at the photo again. Elsie was not very similar in appearance to her sister.
But her sister, Elena, looked quite similar to someone. Hackett felt that he seemed to know her.

Chapter 235
Hackett stared at the photo for a long time and felt the little girl eemed so close to him...
At River Valley,
The following day, early in the morning.
Π
Alex woke up early. He washed up and put on his clothes by himself. After breakfast, he sat in the living room and waited for Hackett.
Ella was shocked by that scene. What had hit Alex? Why did he uddenly become so well-behaved?
The bedroom door opened, and Valeria yawned as she walked out. She asked, "What's for breakfast today....
Before she could finish speaking, she saw Alex sitting on the sofa in neat clothes, waiting patiently. She blinked her eyes for a few seconds before looking at Ella. "Why did you wake him up so early? He's not in school today."
Ella shrugged, meaning that it had nothing to do with her. "Well, I didn't wake Alex up. Alex woke up early himself. He then washed up and put on his clothes. He even finished his breakfast, I don't know what happened to him." "What's this little guy doing?" thought Valeria.
Valeria narrowed her eyes and sat on the sofa. She sized up Alex in front of her, who even put on a suit today!
I was as if he was going on a blind date.
On what occasion did Alex need to be so formal?
She had forced Alex to wear the suit because she felt it was handsome on him. The little guy was not cooperating and said he would never wear it again.
What was wrong with him today? Why would he wear the suit actively?
He looked adorable and handsome, but the suit was somewhat tight now.
"Alex, what are you doing? Why are you wearing that suit? Are you going to work or on a blind date?"
"Mommy, don't disturb me. Go and have breakfast. Ella worked hard to make it for you" Then, Alex looked at Ella. "Ella, what time is it now? Is it considered morning?"
"Well, of course, it's morning. It's past seven in the morning now
"Then why isn't he here yet Alex clearly remembered that his father had said he would come and pick him up in the morning. It was morning now, so why wasn't his father there yet? Valeria asked, "Who are you waiting for? Who isn't here yet?"
Alex pouted in grievance. He was no longer in the mood to talk to Valeria.
He suspected his father had forgotten about him because his mother had always used to forget what she had promised him.
Alex muttered angrily, "Hmph! Adults are always like this. They don't keep their word. He said he would come and pick me up when I opened my eyes. Liart"
"What are you talking about? Why are adults always like this? Alex! I order you to make yourself clear!" Valeria was confused. She looked at Alex's excited face. Then, he looked expectant and disappointed. Why was becoming a drama king? He was even wearing a suit. What day was it today?
Alex was already lying on the sofa in low spirits. He did not want to talk to anyone anymore and even looked like he wanted

Chapter 233
To cry.
When Valeria saw him like that, she walked to him and hugged her son. "Alex, tell me what's wrong. Did you suffer some grievance?" But at that time, the doorbell rang
Alex suddenly jumped off her lap. His eyes were bright as he went straight to the entrance and opened the door with his hand. "Daddy! You're finally here!"
A scream almost frightened Valeria and Ella.
The two of them stood up and realized that it was Hackett.
Valeria's expression darkened. So Alex woke up early and dressed up only to wait for Hackett?
Wasn't it just Hackett? Was there a need to dress so formally?
Valeria was
a little jealous.
She was mad, especially when she thought of Hackett in the garage. The jerk did not want a son at that time. Why was he pretending to be a great father now? He was lying to Alex.
When Hackett saw it was his son who opened the door, the corners of his mouth curled up. He bent down and picked up his
-8011.
"Leave Alex to me today. You can rest for a day," Hackett said to them.
Valeria was about to say something but hesitated. She did not want to quarrel in front of Alex.
Ella could only reply with a smile, "Thank you, Mr. James."
"Let's go, son." Hackett carried Alex and turned to leave.
"Daddy, where are we going?"
"First stop, Tll take you to my company, That's where I work"
Listening to the father and son's conversation, Valeria sat on the sofa with a grumpy expression. She crossed her arms and muttered, "Why is he acting like he loves Alex so much? How hypocritical!" SEND GIFT
