Marriage Resumption (Valeria and Hackett)

Chapter 237

Hackett raised his eyebrows. "I don't think Alex is wrong about you. Aren't you nasty enough?"

"Hackett! If I'm a nasty woman, what about you? You're even worse than me! I wouldn't have become like this if it weren't for you. You said you would help me find my sister. Where is she?! Tell me, huh? You're such a liar!" Elsie realized she was no match for this man when it came to bickering. She would be defeated every time.

"It's only been a few days. Your sister's future appearance has not even been generated yet. How can I look for her? If you're here only to cause trouble, please go. I don't have time for you."

Hackett stood up and walked to his desk, picking up a document.

Then, he looked at Alex, who was still eating snacks. Alex's mouth was stuffed, and his face was filled with crumbles, which amused Hackett. His lips curled into a smile.

Hackett picked up a wet tissue and walked to his son. He wiped the crumbs of snacks off Alex's face. "Alex, stop eating anymore. You're going to a meeting with me."

"Hackett, what did you say? Who's causing trouble? You're the one who said you wanted to help me find my sister!"

Elsie felt wronged and wondered if she was unreasonable and causing trouble there.

She did not know when she started to care about Hackett's feelings. It was strange. Why would she care about his feelings?

Why the hell should she care about the jerk's feelings?

Elsie did not know how to describe such a feeling.

Hackett ignored her shouting. He picked up his son with one arm and walked out of the office.

Alex did not forget to stick out his tongue and make a face at Elsie. "You nasty woman, don't get close to my dad. Daddy likes Mommy and doesn't like you because you are not as beautiful, gentle, and elegant as her. You are an ugly, nasty woman."

Elsie widened her eyes and pointed at herself. She put on an angry and ferocious smile. "Do you think I want your father to like me? Little jerk, let me tell you, I don't like your father either! Also, do you think I'm ugly? No, you're the ugly one!" "Hmph!" Alex snorted at her.

Elsie also humphed childishly at Alex. Neither of them was willing to give in to the other.

Hackett was a little speechless. He took the document and patted his son's butt. "Alex, stop fooling around."

"Okay..."

Alex listened to his father and obediently lay on Hackett's broad shoulders.

Elsie was still so furious. She wanted to curse. This was the first time a three-year-old kid had angered her. Hackett carried his son to the meeting room.

The executives had been waiting for him for a long time. They were shocked when they saw the scene. They wondered what Hackett was doing.

Why did he bring a child to the meeting? And whose child was that?

Chapter 237

"Whose child is that? Are the rumors about him true? Is Mr. James having an illegitimate child?" "Needless to say, that must be his son. Do you think Mr. James is a person who likes childrens the meeting if it's not his son?"

Why would he take the kid to

"Mr. James's grandfather must be delighted and can rest in peace. At least the James family has a successor

"That's true. Didn't his grandfather long for Mr. James to have children? Almost everyone in the country knew about that wish. No matter where he was interviewed, he wanted Mr. James to have children soon," Everyone in the meeting room whispered to each other and discussed. Only Clayton remained silent with a surly expression.

Clayton had yet to send out an invitation. He still wanted to surprise everyone during the engagement party at the end of the month.

But now, Hackett had brought the child into the meeting room. What did that mean? Was Hackett deliberately trying to disgust him? Throughout the entire meeting, many people cast strange looks at Alex.

Alex looked too much like Hackett. The faces of them were the same.

During the two-hour meeting, Alex was well-behaved. He sat beside Hackett and held Hackett's hand tightly.

Alex was a little tensed up to face so many people, and they all looked at him strangely.

Hackett asked his secretary to bring snacks, fruits, and milk to get Alex busy.

After the meeting, the executives left the meeting room one by one. Meanwhile, Alex fell asleep in Hackett's arms, soundly and sweetly.

Hackett gently hugged his son and gestured for his secretary to bring a blanket over to cover Alex.

Just as Hackett was about to get up and leave, Clayton unexpectedly called out to him, "Hackett, wait a moment. I have something to talk to you."

Clayton's voice was as loud as trying to wake Alex on purpose.

Only a few people were in the huge meeting room. Even Clayton's words echoed.

Hackett could feel Alex in his arms tremble. Alex was frightened by the voice. Hackett frowned unhappily and handed Alex to Tyler. "Carry him back to my office. I'll be there soon."

"Sure." Tyler gently took Alex and turned to leave the office. His pace was much slower.

Hackett watched Tyler walk out of the meeting room before he relaxed.

Only by handing Alex over to Tyler could Hackett feel at ease.

After Tyler left, Hackett returned to his seat and said in his original sound volume, "Mr. Maddox, what's the matter?"

Clayton felt uncomfortable seeing how much Hackett cared for his ex-wife's child. If Hackett doted on this child so much, Elsie's future baby would receive less love.

"Why did you bring the child here? Do you want everyone to know that you have a son? Will you still value the child my daughter gives birth to after she marries you?" Clayton's words were filled with rage. He wanted to flare up but held it in for their future marriage alliance.

Hackett's expression was calm, and his voice was cold. "Mr. Maddox, you're overthinking it. I've discussed it with my ex-wife. We will raise our son together. The kid will stay with me on the weekends, and I have to work overtime today, so I can only take him here with me. After all, such a young child can't live without an adult."

"What do you mean I'm overthinking? How could you have a date with Elsie today with your kid around? I created an opportunity for you and Elsie. Can't you see it?"

Of course, Hackett could see it. Hackett could even sense that Clayton wished to pack his daughter up and send her to his bed so they could get married as soon as possible.

him."

Hackett smiled and said emotionlessly, "Mr. Maddox, I'll send my son home in the afternoon. It won't affect our date. Moreover, Elsie is understanding. She will understand me. Although the birth of my son was an accident, what's done is done. I should be responsible for

"Be responsible? Then who will be responsible for my daughter? What if Elsie's future child has to compete with this kid for the family assets?" This was what worried Clayton the most. However, Clayton did not know Hackett had never wanted to marry Elsie, let alone have a child.

"Mr. Maddox, you're worrying too much. I have an agreement with my ex-wife. Nothing like what you were worried about will happen."
