Cares About You
Arissa bent over and kissed Gavin’s head. “You’re my sweetheart!”
She was filled with guilt.
Benjamin was stunned. Looking at the sad mother-son duo, he knitted his brows. “Gavin, what are you
on about? What did I tell you before this?”
“Benjamin!” Arissa glared at him with teary eyes, and her voice was cold. “You hurt Gavin because of
that woman, and yet you have the audacity to question him. How could you do this to him?”
She hugged her son tightly, feeling distressed. “You don’t feel bad for him, but I do!”
In an instant, Benjamin’s face fell.
As Jesse hugged her mother and elder brother, her eyes reddened as well. “Gavin, we don’t want him!
He’s also a bad guy!”
Immediately, Zachary, Oliver, and Jasper escaped from Benjamin’s embrace and ran over to hug Gavin
and Jesse.
“Gavin, Mommy, don’t be sad,” comforted Zachary.
Jasper chimed in, “We can live well even without Daddy!”
“Mommy, don’t cry. It doesn’t matter that he doesn’t like us because we don’t like him either,” uttered
Oliver.
All of a sudden, Benjamin became a sinner.
He did not even feel a tinge of joy when he heard Jasper calling him Daddy.
“Why are you crying?”
The atmosphere abruptly turned heavy and tense.
How Ethen wished he was not there. Casting a brief look at Benjamin’s sullen face, he sighed inwardly.
Mr. Graham, you really don’t know how to console kids and women, do you? At times like this, you
should be comforting them gently rather than questioning them in such a domineering manner.
Arissa was biting her lip while hugging her children, trying to hold back her tears. However, when she
heard the man’s cold voice, she could not help feeling aggrieved. “Benjamin, I’ll never let Danna go. I
will find the best lawyer to put her in jail for the rest of her life. Even so, it would not be enough to
appease my anger.”
If it were not because killing that woman would dirty her own hands, she would have skinned Danna
alive.
Meeting her accusing gaze, which was filled with grievances, Benjamin felt dejected, thinking that none
of them trusted him.
His expression turned gloomy.
“Ms. York, our company lawyers are the best. They have never lost a lawsuit. Mr. Graham has asked
them to be in charge of this kidnapping and murder case. He won’t let Ms. Adams off the hook,” Ethen
quickly spoke up for Benjamin, worrying that the misunderstanding might get out of hand.
However, he did not mention that Benjamin did not plan to let the Adams family go as well. Before they
departed to pick the children and Arissa up, Benjamin had given an order to deal with the Adams
family.
For the time being, he had to keep that a secret.
Seeing that Benjamin did not stop him, he continued, “Mr. Graham cares about you very much.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have come to pick you up in person.”
“Shut up!” Benjamin shot him an icy stare.
Ethen zipped his mouth shut immediately and turned around, sitting up straight.
Mr. Graham, I was only trying to help you! What’s with the attitude?
Upon hearing Ethen’s words, Arissa glanced at him before shifting her gaze to the man with a sullen
face.
There’s no need for Mr. Frank to lie to me, so his words must be true!
“Did you really ask the best lawyer to take over the case?”
As Benjamin took a quick look at her, he noticed that her eyes and nose were red from crying, looking
as if she had been bullied by him.
Feeling wronged, he queried coldly, “Do I look like someone who doesn’t care about my children?”
After all, even a vicious tiger would never harm its cubs.
He would never allow others to lay their hands on his children, even if he did not love them.
After calming down, Arissa regained her senses and felt embarrassed.
She only questioned him earlier because she was overwhelmed by grief.
“I’m sorry for having the wrong idea about you.”
Benjamin was stunned and raised his eyebrows. Is this woman apologizing to me?
All of a sudden, he felt like teasing her. “That’s it?”
Arissa was dumbfounded and blurted out, “Otherwise?”
“Mommy, you didn’t do anything wrong. Don’t apologize to him!” Immediately, Gavin stood up for her
and stared at Benjamin furiously.
