You More Than Anything In The World

Chapter 6

Benjamin noticed his son’s expression and assumed he was looking for a gift. He then explained, “Daddy was busy this time, so I didn’t get you a gift. I’ll make it up to you next time!” Benjamin used to bring Gavin a present whenever he went on a business trip. Gavin, on the other hand, never said whether he liked them or not. He did not bring any this time, yet Gavin had come to fetch him from the airport. Hence, Benjamin felt a tinge of guilt in his heart. Jasper shot him a glance before lowering his head to eat his cotton candy. Ethen piped up suddenly, “Mr. Graham, it’s Ms. Adams.” Jasper’s ears perked up.

Who is Ms. Adams? Benjamin’s eyes flickered as he saw the woman walking toward them. He narrowed his eyes and turned to look at Jasper. This boy is not here to pick me up, but his mother instead? Danna caught sight of the familiar car and hurried over. The bodyguards outside greeted her with respect, “Ms. Adams!” “Is Benjamin here?” she asked and proceeded to open the car door. When she saw the man in the car, her heart pounded. “Benjamin!” she exclaimed with a smile. Benjamin’s demeanor remained neutral. “You came to pick me up!” Danna was filled with excitement. “I just returned from a business trip!” Danna was taken aback for a moment and chuckled. “What a coincidence.

I’ve just returned from making an announcement too.” She quickly scooped Jasper into her arms as soon as she sat down next to him. “Gavin, you came to pick Mom up? Your mom is very happy! Was it because you missed me?” Mom? Jasper furrowed his brows. His face fell in an instant as he stared at Danna. Who would miss her? Who is this woman? Daddy is married to another woman! Was it because of this woman that Daddy did not want Mommy there? Jasper was furious. This woman is not my mommy, yet she calls herself my mom? Also, her perfume reeks. Achoo! Jasper choked on Danna’s perfume and sneezed in her direction. Something splashed on Danna, and she froze. She quickly threw Jasper to the side and grabbed a tissue to clean herself.

“You…” When she remembered Benjamin was present, she quickly tried to suppress her anger and switched her expression to a smile. She pretended to be concerned and reached out to touch Jasper’s forehead. “Gavin, did you catch a cold?” she asked worriedly. Little brat, how dare you spew nasty things on me? Jasper brushed her hand away. He hated that she was touching him and shifted himself toward Benjamin. This woman was just about to scold me but turned around and pretended to care about me. She’s just putting on a show that no one wants to watch. Danna noticed that Jasper shifted away from her and felt enraged. This bastard child. Wait till we get home, and I’ll teach you a lesson.

You won’t even save me some pride. How insolent! Danna saw the cotton candies in Jasper’s hand. She pretended to care for the kid and quickly snatched them away from him before tossing them into the car’s trash can. “Children should not consume this kind of junk food. You’ll get cavities!” “How could you throw away my things? You ugly freak!” Jasper could tell that Danna did it on purpose and screamed at her, forgetting that he was Gavin’s substitute. The boy glared at Danna with a face full of rage. Danna had never seen the child this mad before. She was dumbfounded. She thought it was outrageous that Gavin spoke to her like this. “I did it for your own good, but you’re calling your mom an ugly freak?

Who taught you that? Benjamin, how did Gavin become like this? I only did it for his sake…” While she spoke, Danna’s eyes turned red. She looked as if she was hurt and saddened by her son. Jasper rolled his eyes. She really knows how to act. Benjamin had never seen his son so angry before. When Gavin is angry, at most, he just won’t speak and would ignore everyone. I haven’t seen him in only a few days, and his personality has changed. “Gavin Graham, apologize to your mom!” Benjamin’s face darkened. Danna is still Gavin’s biological mother, no matter how awful she might be. Furthermore, the kid was merely speaking out of anger. “You want me to apologize to her? No way!

She threw away my things on purpose. Why should I?” Jasper was stubborn. He glared at Danna without a care in the world. This ugly freak. Daddy must have abandoned us because of her. He thought about how Arissa had to struggle to raise him and his siblings. They were also almost killed

when they were born. Jasper’s eyes turned red when he thought of this. He felt wronged and angry. Because of this, he had begun to despise Benjamin. He shifted to the side of the car door. “Stop the car. I want to get out!” Daddy, my butt! Since he asked me to apologize to this ugly freak, I don’t want him anymore. Benjamin furrowed as he held Jasper in his arms. He scolded in a low voice, “Why are you making a fuss?”

You’re just a kid. How could you scream and shout at adults? Benjamin was infuriated by his son’s actions. Jasper cried out loud when he saw that Benjamin did not side with him and scolded him sternly instead. He felt utterly wronged. People would feel sorry for him if they heard his cries. “You are not my daddy! You are a bad person!” Benjamin’s face was dark as he stared at the crying boy in his arms. Wah! Wah! Jasper’s cries were so intense that they were deafening. “Benjamin, don’t be so harsh. Gavin, come over to Mom. I’m sorry. I will apologize to you. If you like cotton candy, Mom will buy it for you. Okay?” Danna leaned over to carry Jasper to her side. Jasper was not Gavin.

Hence, he definitely would not cooperate. After all, Benjamin had reprimanded him because of this woman. “Don’t talk to me. You don’t like me anyway, so don’t be pretentious. You are not my mommy! You are a fake!” Jasper shouted at Danna. The atmosphere in the car turned silent in a second. Danna was shocked and frightened. How does this bastard child know? Danna suppressed her guilt and peeked at Benjamin. The man stared at the boy in his arms with a dark expression. She could not make out what he was thinking. “Benjamin, this boy…” Tears welled up in Danna’s eyes in an instant. She put on a look as if she was incredibly hurt that her son disliked her. Looking over at Jasper sadly, she coaxed him, “Gavin, why would I not like you? ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

I gave birth to you. I was pregnant with you for ten months and almost had a miscarriage. Are you mad because I did not give you a call? I was busy with work. I’ll remember to call you next time, okay? Don’t be mad at Mom. It makes me really sad…” Jasper watched the drama queen, Danna, while she skillfully acted as if they were blood-related. On the inside, he rolled his eyes. He peeked at Benjamin, and when he saw that Benjamin was glaring at him, his tears began to pour again.

“Both of you don’t like me. You think I’m a nuisance, right?” Jasper thought that he should not be too obvious. He did not want to lead Danna on with any suspicions. When the time came, he would then have the upper hand to deal with this woman. His face was full of sadness, and he cried till his shoulders were quivering. However, on the inside, he was thinking up a ploy.
