You More than Anything in the World (Arissa)

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!”

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.
