Hackett took the opportunity to ask Valeria tentatively. "How long did you stay that night with me? Why didn''t I see you when I woke up?"


    He only wanted to know why he saw Cheryl instead of Valeria when he woke up.


    Valeria said impatiently. "I left early because I received a call noying me that my mother was critically ill."


    "So you left before I was sober?"


    Hackett seemed to remember that Valeria''s mother passed away a few days after he returned from the celebration banquet. Then, Valeria begged him to help arrange her mother''s funeral for her. He seemed to have realized something.


    He thought, "So, that was what happened!"


    At this moment, Valeria''s phone rang. It was a call from Alex urging her to return home.


    She took a look and did not dare to answer the call in front of Hackett. She could only hang it up first,


    "I can''t be bothered to talk to you about this. I still have something on. I''m leaving now," Valeria nced at the time. She had to hurry home to get to this little brat. Otherwise, he would call her again to urge her. With that, Valeria returned to her car and drove into the Starry Bay vi area.


    Hackett stood under the streetmp and fell into deep thought


    "So Cheryl might be the one lying...


    Honk! Honk!


    Valeria honked twice and shouted to the man outside the car window, "Hurry up and return to the hospital! Otherwise, I will never answer your call again, and you can forget about getting out of the blocklist!" With that, she drove away.


    Hackett chuckled. Although her tone was fierce, he understood Valeria''s concern.


    At least it proved that this woman still cared for him.


    Valeria returned to the vi. Alex pounced onto her with his arms wide open as soon as she entered the living room


    ""Mommy! Mommy!"


    "Alex, are you trying to kill your Mommy? Why have you be so heavy recently?" Valeria stumbled a few steps backward. but she managed to carry Alex.


    "I''m a man. Of course, I''ll grow heavier as I get older."


    Valeria could not help butugh aloud as she thought, "What kind of childish logic is this?"


    "Mommy, Mommy, let me tell you, this nanny is amazing. She even knows Taekwondo. I want to learn it too! I can protect weak Mommy in the future!" Alex wrapped his chubby hands around Valeria''s ears and leaned over to whisper. "What do you mean by weak Mommy? Mommy is very strong, too, okay? Do you like the new nanny I got you?"


    Valeria''s mood brighterred. This little brat seemed to be getting long well with the new nanny.


    "Hello, I''m E Patel."


    A woman''s voice interrupted their conversation. She looked up and froze in ce.


    E was also stunned when she saw Valeria''s face.


    "E! It''s you! What a coincidence!"


    9.67%


    Valeria''s memories were quickly pulled back to her childhood. She lived in that lively alley before her father chased her mother and her out of the house.


    She yed with her good friend, E, every day. Later, her father chased her out of the house, and she never saw E again.


    E was also shocked to see Valeria. "Oh my god, Valeria. I didn''t expect to see you here. I thought I would never see you again in my life."


    The nanny that the domestic service center found for her was her childhood friend, E.


    This was great. She could rest assured if Alex was handed over to her childhood friend to take care of


    Valeriaughed from the bottom of her heart. "Me too!"


    Valeria, you''ve be so beautiful now. You even live in such a luxurious house. You must have married a rich man. You even gave birth to such a cute baby. You''re simply a winner in life"


    E looked at Valeria enviously. They often yed together when they were young. She didn''t expect the difference in their lives to be so big when they grew up.


    Valeria looked a little embarrassed. "It''s a long story. I''ll tell you about it slowly in the future. Actually, it''s not what you think


    Soon, it was another day.


    Hackett slowly pulled over outside the cemetery. It was still raining heavily..


    Tyler held a ck umbre and opened the car door. A tall man got out of the car and walked into the cemetery.


    His steps were a little slow and weak. It was obvious that his wound had not recovered. Coupled with the rainy weather, he felt his injuries hurt.


    Tyler walked behind him with an umbre and said, "Mr. James let''s return to the hospital in the afternoon. If Barron finds out, he''ll nag again." Barron still didn''t know that Hackett left the hospital. If he knew he would probably be furious again.


    "Are you teaching me how to do things?" Hackett red at him coldly.


    Tyler could only lower his head. "No!"


    They gradually walked to Abbot''s tombstone. When they were still more than ten meters away, they saw Cheryl standing before the tombstone. Hackett and Tyler stopped and did not move forward.


    Meanwhile, Cheryl was by the grave


    Cheryl stood there with a ck umbre. She looked at the photo of her brother on the tombstone and kept wiping her


    10 28 Thu, Nov 7 u


    DI


    She saw Hackett from theer of her eye and cried louder. She ced the bouquet in her arms before the tombstone and touched her brother''s photo with her fingers "Abbot... I came to see you. I''ve been too busy recently. I haven''te to see you in a long time. You won''t me me, right?"


    After Cheryl entered the entertainment industry, the first thing she learned was acting. She did not want to embarrass him to be worthy of the film and television resources Hackett gave her


    However, she was indeed quite suitable for the acting industry. Her acting skills had always been evaluated as capable, but her poprity had not increased.


    "Abbot, Hackett got into a car ident on his birthday. Are you punishing him for me? Brother, I beg you not to. I did everything willingly, 1 slit my wrist andmitted suicide. It has nothing to do with him. Please don''t hurt him. I love him. If anything happens to him. I''ll die with him. I beg you, Abbot Even if he doesn''t believe me, doesn''t like me, and wants to abandon me, I don''t want to see him getting injured because I like him..."


    Cheryl''s sincere attitude would fool any one.


    The raindrops gradually became heavier, sshing on the ground.


    Tyler stood behind the man and was almost touched by Cheryl words.


    Hackett stared at Cheryl''s figure expressionlessly for a long time, In the end, he did not walk forward to take a look, Instead, he turned around and left the cemeteryText content ? N?velDrama.Org.


    Tyler was stunned and almost couldn''t keep up with the man''s forps, causing Hackett to be drenched in the rain.


    Kneeling in front of the tombstone Cheryl aled when she saw the man leave. Tears were still flowing down her cheeks, making her expression look terrifying


    Cheryl lifted her umbre and looked at the man''s tall and hand back. She muttered, "I don''t believe you have a heart


    of stone...
