Chapter 446 Another Wedding

“I wanna show off. Do you have a problem with that?”

The man looked perfectly justified, with a trace of … youthful arrogance.

“That ceremony three years ago was just something small the family put together. This time is different.”

He leaned closer. His masculine presence pressed in on her.

“This time, I’m giving you the biggest and the best wedding.”

Dawn looked at the face right in front of her, flawless and unreal.

She felt dazed for a moment, then asked softly, “Then … if we get married again, your dad will come back too, right?”

The man’s eyes narrowed slightly, then hummed in reply.

“Okay.”

Dawn poked at her eggs mindlessly. You couldn’t hear anything unusual in her voice. “If you’ve already decided, then let’s do it your way.”

After eating, she went back to her room and called Larissa to arrange her work for the afternoon.

“Ms. West.”

Mason’s voice was heavy. “Are you … really going to marry Mr. Jackson?”

“Why shouldn’t I?” Dawn’s tone gave nothing away. “Mason, I don’t have much time left.”

The words seemed to carry another meaning. Mason didn’t press further. After two seconds of silence, he hung up.

At 2 p.m., Ethan took Dawn out.

They had meant to avoid Benjamin, but they were still spotted.

“Dawn, where are you going?”

“We’re … just going out for a bit.”

Dawn coaxed him softly. “Be good and stay home, okay? Grandma will play with you.”

“No!” Benjamin had lost all novelty for it. He grabbed Dawn’s hand stubbornly. “Where are you going? I wanna go too. I miss Daddy. I wanna see him.”

He babbled on. The kid had no intention of listening to reason and insisted on going along.

Tara wanted to carry him away, but after thinking it over, Dawn said, “It’s fine, Mrs. Jackson. I’ll take him/3

with me.”

“Won’t that delay what you need to do?”

“It won’t.”

Benjamin really hadn’t seen Aidan in a long time. It would be good for him to see him.

Taking a child along meant the ride wouldn’t be boring.

But once in the car, Benjamin no longer insisted on seeing Aidan and started steering the topic somewhere else. He wanted to go to the amusement park.

Dawn didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. She tapped his head lightly, pretending to be mad.

“You little rascal. That’s not fair.”

“Huh?”

Benjamin knew he was in the wrong. His big eyes darted around. “Didn’t you say… Daddy’s been busy with work and never has time? Then we can just go play first.”

“Who’s ‘we‘?”

Dawn had already texted Aidan earlier.

She lightly flicked his nose. “You’re the one who said you wanted to see Daddy. Then you have to spend at least the whole day with him. Ethan and I have things to do.”

“What things?”

“Adult things. Kids don’t get involved.”

Benjamin covered his mouth, clearly unhappy, but he knew she was right and didn’t ask more.

The bar was by the city moat, built along the river. The entire 15–story building was still under construction, surrounded by steel frames.

Ethan parked far away and glanced over.

He frowned. “Are you sure Benjamin can hang around here?”

Dawn opened her phone and texted Aidan. “He’ll probably take him somewhere else to play. Wait for me here. I’ll drop Benjamin off.”

Before the man in front could speak, she got out of the car first.

She walked around to the other side and opened the door before picking Benjamin up.

“Say goodbye to Ethan. We’re going to find your daddy.”

Benjamin lifted his chubby hand and waved. “Bye, Ethan.”

Now he was suddenly very obedient and didn’t call him “Daddy” anymore.

Ethan gave a quiet snort and said nothing.

The woman and the child walked farther and farther away. You couldn’t hear what they were saying, but Benjamin kept laughing on her shoulder. From the way they faced each other, it looked like they were discussing how to react when they saw Aidan.

“Ethan and I have important things to do. When you’re with your daddy later, don’t keep texting me, okay?”

After all the past experiences, Dawn really couldn’t relax about this kid.

Whenever they weren’t together, his calls never stopped.

He was like a human alarm clock.

Benjamin grinned slyly and huffed, “I’ll call anyway. It’s your fault for not taking me with you.”

“Then call.”

Dawn threw up her hands. “I just won’t answer.”

His eyes went wide in disbelief. “You’re my mommy, and you won’t answer my

“And so what if I’m your mommy?”

It didn’t matter what he said.

calls?”

Dawn copied his tone. “I have my own life too. I’ve got a husband now. He’s just as important as you.”

Benjamin mumbled something under his breath. In the distance, Aidan walked out.

He wore a simple tank top and army–green cargo pants.
