Chapter 15


    Jasper was trembling in fear, and his response drew Edwin’s sympathy. Thetter said in a low voice,


    “Ms. Adams, you’ve frightened Gavin!” “Edwin, look at him! It has only been a few days, but he’s


    already acting out of line now. He even learned how to tell lies! I must teach him a lesson today!”


    Danna could no longer keep herposure. She reached out her hands, wanting to pull Jasper over.


    Jasper grabbed Edwin’s thigh tightly and red at her. “Do you dare say that you didn’t try to hurt me?”


    A look of guiltiness shed across Danna’s eyes, but she soon managed to keep her cool before


    chiding with a straight face, “You’re lying! Your daddy will be so disappointed to find out that you’re


    telling lies!”


    Jasper was about to explode with rage. He rolled his sleeve up before stretching out his hand. “Mr.


    Whitley, she really had the intention!” When Jasper had tried to free himself from Danna’s grip before, a


    mark was left. Convinced by Jasper’s allegation, Edwin’s face fell as he stared at Danna. “Ms. Adams,


    I’ll have to call Mr. Graham!” Edwin was burning in fury because he could not believe Danna would try


    to do that to a child even when he was around. The Grahams will never allow anyone toy their hands


    on their family members. Hence, she’s in no position to punish Gavin even though she’s his


    mother. Although Benjamin was not someone expressive in his feelings, he cared a lot about Gavin.


    “Edwin, don’t! I didn’t try to hurt him! Gavin, how could you y such a dirty trick! Once your daddy’s


    back, I’ll make sure that he educates you well!” Danna was guilty of her doings. How would I expect


    him to fight back? It’s better if I push all the mes on him! “What a hypocrite! You were trying to hurt


    me just a while ago! Mr. Whitley, why is she such a vicious woman? I want Daddy! I want Daddy!”


    Jasper started crying aggrievedly again. Besides, he was also taking the chance to see if Benjamin


    truly cared about him. If Daddy sides with this bad woman, we’ll leave him behind! Edwin’s heart ached


    to see Jasper cry, so he carried the poor boy in his arms. “Gavin, don’t cry.


    I’m here, and I’ll call your daddy back home now!” Danna was terrified as soon as she heard that


    Benjamin would being home. If Benjamin knows about what I tried to do to Gavin, it will definitelyCopyright N?v/el/Dra/ma.Org.


    affect our rtionship. He has already warned me after I got rid of this brat’s cotton candy


    yesterday. “Edwin, Benjamin’s still at work. I don’t think we should bother him because of such a trivial


    matter.” Angered by Danna’s action, Edwin brushed her off in a stern manner, “Ms. Adams, I think it’s


    better if you can talk to Mr. Graham personally regarding this matter!”


    We’ve been doing our best to keep Gavin safe from injuries. How could she try to do that? If she dares


    to do so even when I am present, she’d probably go overboard when we’re not around! Come to think


    about it, Gavin has been behaving strangely whenever she’s here! I bet this wasn’t her first


    attempt! Edwin’s heart sank after fathoming the situation. The butler called Benjamin right away. The


    latter instantly rushed back home upon hearing the news. At that point, Danna was fully aware that it


    would make the allegation stick if she were to leave. She sat on the couch in the living room nervously.


    If Benjamin still cares about me, he’ll probably let this slide. I’m Gavin’s mom, after all. Meanwhile,


    Jasper was still crying. Danna stealthily shot him a death re. He has been keeping everything to


    himself previously. Why is he going against me today? In fact, he actually started doing this yesterday.


    That’s such a drastic change! Danna narrowed her eyes as she thought of bumping into Arissa at


    Graham Group. Did Arissa happen to meet this bastard child? Astounded by that possibility, Danna


    was torn between anger and trepidation. Has Benjamin already met Arissa before this?


    It’s time for me to figure out a way to get rid of her forever! The evil look in Danna’s gaze grew intense


    as she plotted against Arissa deep inside. In the meantime, Arissa was still unaware of everything


    happening behind her back. She spent some time ying with her children before bringing them out for


    a meal, and they were all over the moon. “Mommy, I want to have a lot of nice food!” Jesse, who was a


    foodie, could not hide her excitement as she tugged at Arissa’s hand. “Mommy, what are we eating?”


    Oliver was delighted too. He had been waiting to try all the nice foods he saw on the inte before


    they returned to the country. “You can eat whatever you want!” Arissa gave them a yful wink as she


    fixed their hats.


    Only then did she notice that Jasper’s hat was missing. “Jasper, where’s your hat?” “Mommy, I gave it


    to another kid at the airport!” Gavin yed his role well as Jasper without exposing himself. He was


    pretty good at imitating Jasper’s expression, so much so that Arissa did not notice anything out of the


    ordinary. Zachary cast him a nce as he ridiculed inwardly. He’s pretty good at it! If he did not notice it


    earlier, he would have been fooled by Gavin too. “I’ll give you my hat!” Zachary removed his hat and


    ced it on Gavin’s head. “I don’t need that.” Gavin turned Zachary down, thinking it was fine not to


    have one. “Listen to me and take it!” Zachary wore a smile as he put it on Gavin, acting like he was the


    older brother.


    Gavin froze for a moment. Is he taking me as his younger brother? If Danna took me away instead of


    them, it’s most likely that I’m the eldest kid among them. “Let’s go! I’ll buy you a new one!” said Arissa,


    keeping the smile on her face. Gavin was on cloud nine when he heard that. Grinning from ear to ear,


    he chirped, “Thank you, Mommy!” Arissa then brought her children out for a scrumptious meal. On the


    other hand, Benjamin rushed his way home within ten minutes. Before he made it to the door, he could


    hear Jasper’s pitiful wailing from the inside.


    He had already heard him crying when they were on the phone just a moment ago. Benjamin’s face


    darkened as he furrowed his brows, and his apathetic demeanor shut him off from the others. “Mr.


    Graham!” Edwin went toward Benjamin with Jasper in his arms, looking anxious. Jasper had been


    crying for a long time that his eyes were red-rimmed and swollen. His nose had turned red too. It hurt


    Edwin to see how aggrieved he looked. “Benjamin…” Danna went closer to Benjamin, but she stopped


    in her tracks when she caught sight of his sharp gaze. “Daddy! Daddy…” Jasper was so worn after


    crying his heart out for a long time.


    He went toward Benjamin to ask for a hug when he finally saw thetter. Benjamin scooped Jasper in


    his arms and gently patted him on the back. “Don’t cry.” Even though he sounded slightly awkward, he


    spoke in an exceptionally gentle tone. Jasper leaned on Benjamin’s shoulder, and his eyes lit up within


    moments. It seemed like Benjamin did care about him. Then, heined to Benjamin with a pitiful


    look, “Daddy, she tried to hurt me!” Danna did not seed in her action, but the idea of trying to do that


    was enough to infuriate Benjamin.


    Benjamin’s gaze grew darker with a sense of murderous intent as he shot Danna a stern look. It was


    Danna’s first time to see him staring at her that way. She immediately felt a chill down her spine.


    Quivering, she attempted to exin herself, “Benjamin, listen to me. This…” “Get lost!” eximed


    Benjamin in a cold manner.
