Chapter 47
At Starry Bay
On the way home, Valeria's mind was in a mess. It was usually a half-hour drive, but tonight, she had driven for an hour.
After parking the car in the garage, Valeria walked into the villa with her tired body.
As soon as she entered the living room, Valeria was stunned by the scene in front of her. What?
Valeria saw Keith sitting on the living room sofa with a woman while Alex was playing with a puzzle. What was going on?
Didn't Keith say that he would rent this place to Valeria? Why did he bring a woman back?
Just as Valeria was confused, Alex saw her at a glance and shouted excitedly. "Mommy! You're back!"
Then Alex rushed toward Valeria.
Valeria was instantly snapped out of it by the cute voice, and she instinctively caught her lovely son, his linle body filled with
the sweet scent.
At this moment, Keith and the woman on the sofa turned around at the same time.
Keith slowly got up and walked toward Valeria Valeria, why are you only back now? I was just about to pick you up. been clamoring for you to tell a story before he is willing to sleep obediently." "Well... L. There was a traffic jam on the way."
Why was the atmosphere so strange? It was hard to describe the feeling.
Alex has
Valeria finally saw what the woman on the sofa looked like. She had a cold temperament, exquisite facial features, and long black hair. She looked very artistic.
This kind of cold woman would never be willing to be with an ordinary man
"Why is your hair all messed up? Is it very windy?" Keith said with a smile. Then, he naturally sucked her hair behind her ear.
Valeria was dumbfounded. She had no idea what was going on.
Keith lowered his head and whispered in Valeria's ear, "Help me deal with the situation. That woman is my ex-girlfriend."
What?
Valeria suddenly realized that this aloof woman was actually Keith's ex-girlfriend Valeria remembered the last time Hackett mentioned that Keith had been in a long-term relationship with his ex-girlfriend before she abruptly got married. Tsk! It seemed that Keith was the one who got hurt in the relationship? So now he wanted to appear happy in front of his ex-girlfriend?
No matter what, Keith had helped Valeria deceive Barron, so she had to help him.
I'm fine. May I ask who this lady is..." Valeria pretended not to know anything.
Before Keith could speak, the woman stood up. She walked over in a black strapless dress and smiled. "Hello, Mrs. Cooper. I'm Keith's friend. My name is Sherri Landor.

Sherri extended her hand-looked like a polite handshake, but her eyes revealed a gaze as if she was looking at her love
rival.
Valeria also extended her hand and shook it gently. "Hello, my name is Valeria Sharp."
"Mrs. Cooper, you seem to be very happy, Keith has taken good care of you and the child. Sherri had been sizing Valeria up since she entered the door, wanting to see what kind of woman Keith had found to get married and have children. The words coming from this woman were really unpleasant to hear.
Since Sherri was already Keith's ex-girlfriend, why did she still come to Keith's house as a guest? Why did Sherri say such jealous words?
Valeria could not help but think of herself from four years ago. She hated those men who had their first crushes in their hearts. Since they had someone in their hearts, why did they still marry others?
"Of course. Why would I get married if I am not happy?" Valeriaaniled.
This sentence seemed to pierce Sherri's heart, and the expression on her face changed slightly.
It seemed that Sherri's marriage wasn't happy after all. Could it be that she was divorced and now turning back to Keith? Valeria carried Alex and looked at Keith. Tll go coax Alex to sleep. You can talk to Miss Landor. Call me if you need anything." "Okay"
Hence, Valeria carried Alex upstairs while Alex lay on her shoulder and kept looking at Sherri as if she was a bad person. To Alex, all the women who wanted to snatch Keith away were bad people.
Valeria carried Alex back to the room. Alex immediately said, "Mommy, I can sleep by myself. Go down and keep an ey Keith
Why do you ask me to keep an eye on Keith? He's chatting with that pretty young madam. I'll tell you a story."
Alex snorted in disdain. "She's not pretty at all. She's not as pretty as you, Mommy. You have to watch Keith. Otherwise, Keith will be snatched away by that bad woman."
Why was Alex always thinking about matchmaking Valeria and Keith?
"Alex, I'm telling you clearly that Keith can't be your father, so you don't need to care which woman he chats with. And you can't just say she is a bad woman. It's impolite."
Moreover, it was obvious that Keith and Sherri were interested in each other. Why would Valeria go to disturb them?
Alex was so angry that he was about to cry. He held Valeria's hand and shook it. "Mommy! Can you have some taste? Keith is so good. Why don't you want to be with him? If you don't cherish the chance, other women will snatch him away!" "Alright, let's sleep, okay? Aren't you sleepy? Let's talk after you wake up, okay?"
Valeria didn't know how to explain complicated emotions to a three-year-old. This little boy was too persistent. He had firmly decided that Keith was going to be his stepfather,
Tm angry! Humph! I cant sleep on my own. Go down and watch Keith now, or I'll ignore you forever!"
Alex grunted angrily. He turned around and pouted
Valeria was a little speechless. Why was Alex's bad temper exactly the same as
Hackett's?
As expected of Hackett's biological son, Alex also was domineering and tyrannical. He had to do whatever he wanted.
Thinking about what happened at the pool party tonight made Valeria angry. Now Alex was bullying her too. Was she that easy to bully?
Moreover, staring at Alex's angry expression, Valeria felt he looked more and more like Hackert.
In the end, Valeria could only compromise and pat her son's head. "Alright, I'll go down and watch Keith. Be good and sleep" Alex's eyes instantly lit up. He turned around and looked at Valeria happily. "Okay! I'll go to bed now."
With that, the little boy climbed onto the bed with difficulty with his short legs and crawled into the blanket. He closed his eyes tightly. "Mommy, I'm asleep! Go downstairs quickly! Go!"
Valeria didn't know what to say for a moment.
This little boy was really cunning.
Valeria shook her head helplessly and had no choice but to leave the room. She went to the guardrail on the second floor and looked at the good-looking man and woman in the living room below. Valeria did not want to go down and be a third wheel. She turned around and walked toward the terrace, wanting to get
some air.
On the terrace.
Valeria looked up at the dark night sky, and the images of the past few hours consciously surfaced in her mind.
Valeria's cheeks began to heat up and flush.
At that time, Valeria seemed to be quite addicted.
Valeria shook her head hard. What was wrong with her?
It was definitely impossible between Valeria and Hackett. It was absolutely impossible.
Valeria had been hurt so badly by that scumbag four years ago. She could not repeat the same mistake.
