Chapter 211 You Can Come To Me
“That woman wants to kill the children and me. She’ll never let us go. What else could we do other than hide?”
Arissa was filled with indignation at the mention of Danna. She did not care what Benjamin thought about that
woman.
“You can come to me!” He gritted his teeth.
Why did she run away instead of asking me for help when something goes wrong?
In response, Arissa smiled bitterly. “You care about Danna so much. Would you have cared about our lives?”
His expression darkened. Am I not worth her trust?
She did not know why he was suddenly angry. However, she backed down when she saw his grim expression.
“Benjamin, it’s my fault for taking the children away, but I don’t want to lose them. Besides, I don’t know you well
enough to trust you. After all, you and Danna have a very close relationship. If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have
been tricked by her. Believe it or not, she separated me from Gavin five years ago. And all of us almost died in her
hands.”
Arissa’s eyes reddened as she recalled the past. Those days were like a nightmare to her.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAll she felt was anxiety, helplessness, and despair. Someone snatched her child away from her, and she was
incapable of protecting him.
She absolutely did not want to experience it for a second time.
Benjamin felt a tug in his heart at the sight of the powerless resentment in her eyes.
“I’ve told you before, but you didn’t believe me. I simply can’t take the risk. It’s too dangerous for Gavin to stay with
you.” Arissa was on the verge of tears.
“Why do you think she’s important to me?” His voice was imperceptibly softer than before.
However, he was inexplicably annoyed by her lack of trust.
“Isn’t she?” Arissa lifted her head to meet his gaze, and tears trickled down her face.
Benjamin’s brows drew close to a frown as he wiped away the tears from her face. The warm droplets were
scorching his heart.
He furrowed his brows tighter, for he did not like to see her crying. “So, you took the liberty of taking the kids
away?”
He stared at her intently. Her nose was red, making her look pitiful.
Her forlorn expression made his annoyance dissipate.
Arissa blinked her eyes in confusion.
Is he saying that Danna isn’t important to him anymore?
“Gavin said-”
“Mommy!” Right then, they heard the boy’s voice at the door.
She promptly pushed Benjamin away and asked her son gently, “Sweetheart, are you done packing?”
Her swift reaction rendered the man speechless.
“All done! Mommy, did you cry?”
Gavin ran into the room and saw her reddened eyes. Immediately, he turned his head and glared at his father. “Did
you bully Mommy?”
Facing his son’s accusation, Benjamin only looked at Gavin in silence.
“What a jerk!” the boy scolded.
The next moment, Benjamin grabbed Gavin’s back collar and lifted him off the floor.
The infuriated boy started to struggle in mid-air. “Let go of me!”
“Little brat, is this how you talk to your father?”
Arissa was worried that Benjamin would drop their son, so she quickly took Gavin away from him. “How could you
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmgrab him like this? What if you drop him?”
After saying that, she hugged Gavin and patted his back.
Benjamin knitted his brows and stared at her in disbelief.
How dare she reprimand me?
Gavin’s eyes seemed to exude derision as he piped up tearfully, “Mommy, he always grabs me like this.”
Discontented, Arissa shot Benjamin an icy glare as she patted her son’s head.
The father shot daggers at his pretentious son. Then he ordered in his deep voice, “Hurry up and pack your things,
Arissa. I’ll give you ten minutes!”
Having said that, he walked to the bedside, sat down, and stared at her.
Arissa was rendered speechless.
If he wanted me to be fast, he shouldn’t have interrogated me just now.
“Mommy, I’ll help you!”
“Okay!”
Arissa put Gavin down and resumed her packing.
Since she was not sure when they would be back, she packed everything while the boy helped to fold the clothes.
