The More the Merrier

Chapter 16 I Look Nothing Like Her

Benjamin held Jasper close while gently placing a hand on his head in a protective stance. He acted coldly toward Danna. “No one is allowed to harm a child of the Graham family. Don’t you dare to come close to Gavin anymore!”

“Benjamin, I am Gavin’s mom, and he’s my beloved child. Why would I ever hurt him? He was the one that…” Her eyes met Benjamin’s cold gaze. She did not dare to place the blame on Jasper and immediately started to beg for mercy, “I did not do it on purpose. All I wanted was to give him a hug… I never thought of hurting him.”

“Are you taking me for a fool, Ms. Adams?” Benjamin scoffed.

Danna opened her mouth in shock. Her eyes grew red-rimmed as she shook her head. “No. Don’t you know that I have never taken you for a fool… “

“Get lost!” Benjamin chased her out and glanced at Edwin before carrying Jasper to his study.

“Please take your leave, Ms. Adams!” Edwin remained polite despite being fueled with anger.

Danna watched as Benjamin left along with Jasper. She felt hurt at the realization that he was kicking her out for real.

“Please leave, Ms. Adams. Have you not caused enough harm by hurting Gavin? I don’t care if you don’t treasure him, but as a mother, you should never bully him,” Edwin heartlessly urged.

With the fact that Danna planned to marry Benjamin by leveraging on the fact that Gavin was their son, Edwin was shocked to see her be so cruel toward Gavin.

He felt that Danna was way more ruthless than any stepmother in the world would be toward her son. Gavin is still young, and yet he has to endure cruel treatment from his mother. He doesn’t even utter a single word about it. No wonder he has a gloomy personality and shuts himself out.

Danna gritted her teeth furiously and left. “I’ll come to see Gavin next time!” You’re the b*stard that made Benjamin scold me. I’ll get my revenge!
