You More Than Anything In The World

Chapter 15

Jasper was trembling in fear, and his response drew Edwin’s sympathy. The latter 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 her composure. She reached out her hands, wanting to pull Jasper over. Jasper grabbed Edwin’s thigh tightly and glared at her. “Do you dare say that you didn’t try to hurt me?” A look of guiltiness flashed 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!” C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.

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 to lay 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 play 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 blames 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 be coming home. If Benjamin knows about what I tried to do to Gavin, it will definitely

affect our relationship. 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 glare. 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 playing 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 internet before they returned to the country. “You can eat whatever you want!” Arissa gave them a playful 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 played 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 glance 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 placed 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 wail coming 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 the latter. 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, he complained to Benjamin with a pitiful

look, “Daddy, she tried to hurt me!” Danna did not succeed 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 explain herself, “Benjamin, listen to me. This…” “Get lost!” exclaimed Benjamin in a cold manner.
