Dauntless God Of War novel Chapter 81

“Aren't you inviting me inside, Benson?” Bradley questioned awkwardly.

“Come on in,” Benson said. After allowing the father and son into the house, he turned to his wife. “Pauline, could you make the guests a pot of coffee? Bradley and Harvey are here.”

As soon as he entered, Bradley plopped down on the couch without even bothering to greet Harold.

He simply regarded Harold as a junior. In addition, he thought of Harold as a good-for-nothing expelled from his family who was now living off the Turners.

Harold was unconcerned about their behavior and went back to watching television.

After hearing Benson's request, Pauline not only neglected to make the pot of coffee but also confronted Bradley and Harvey with a frown. “What are the two of you doing here? We don't welcome you.”

Bradley's face turned a blazing scarlet when he heard that. If it were not for the fact that he needed help from them, he would have loved nothing more than to stand up and leave there and then.

Eventually, he uttered the words he had secretly practiced ten times after taking a big breath. “We're here specifically to ask you guys to come home with us. Bella is also welcomed to come back to the company and work again. What do you guys say?”

His face remained flushed after speaking. It was clear that he was pretty uneasy.

Bradley's suggestion left Pauline speechless. “This...”

She genuinely did not expect them to come over to invite them back home.

It would have made sense for them to ask them to come back if the company were still under the management of Isabella.

However, she could not help but wonder what Bradley's intention was for inviting them back since the company no longer belonged to them.

She had spent years living with them, so she was well aware of their personality.

Pauline did not believe that Bradley, someone who had always looked down on them, would invite them back out of concern for Benson living uncomfortably outside.

Meanwhile, Benson was also skeptical. He and his wife exchanged glances, and both saw the doubt in the other's eyes.

Pauline's expression was hostile as she questioned, “What are you plotting, Bradley Turner? You wouldn't have asked us to return out of the blue.”

Before attempting to persuade the couple earnestly, Bradley took a moment to gather the right emotions. ”What are you on about, Pauline? I could not take it when I found out that you and your family of four were staying in a room that was only a hundred square meters. I even went to Dad to plead for leniency so that you guys could return. It took a lot of effort for me to convince him. You guys are members of the Turner family, after all. If others were aware of your present circumstances, the Turners' good reputation would be tarnished. Therefore, you guys should return with me, not just for the good of the Turner family but also for your own benefit.”

Benson shot his wife another glance. After more than ten years of marriage, the two of them could tell what the other was trying to say just by looking at each other.

They then nodded simultaneously.

Benson was about to agree when Harold, who was standing by the side, spoke up to object to Bradley's offer. “Wait a second. I disagree. Old Mr. Turner should be the one to invite Mom and Dad since he was the one who kicked them out back then. You ought to show some sincerity. We'll only go back if he comes!”

Bradley had been rendered speechless by Harold's words due to his guilt. “You—”
