Chapter 455 A Misunderstanding

Dawn let out a small breath and changed the subject.

“Have you been in touch with Jonathan?”

“What about you, Ms. West?”

When Victor heard that name, he seemed a little interested. He lifted his eyes and looked at her directly. “Have you contacted him?”

Dawn paused and shook her head.

“No.”

In the end, there was no old affection between her and Jonathan. There was no reason to keep in touch.

“I haven’t either.” Victor’s gaze didn’t waver. “Don’t worry. Since I’ve agreed to stay by your side and work for you, I won’t repeat my past mistakes.”

Dawn looked into his dull, dead–calm eyes and didn’t know what to say.

Three whole years.

Not to mention what he had suffered… just staying with Daniel alone… That guy would never have treated him well. Victor might’ve even gone through things no human should endure.

Dawn didn’t ask further. She told Mason to show him around the company.

Victor was very capable, and he’d been a bodyguard before. By every standard, he was suitable as a personal assistant.

As soon as it hit 6.30 p.m., her phone rang.

“Dawn, when are you coming to pick me up?”

Benjamin’s soft little voice sounded through the phone. He said weakly, “I’m so bored. Daddy’s been busy all day. I still want to go back to you and Ethan, okay?”

He didn’t call Ethan “Daddy“. He really must’ve had enough.

The sound of construction was loud and harsh.

Dawn thought for a moment and said, “Then I’ll come get you in a bit, okay? Is your daddy with you?”

“He’s not.” Benjamin was sprawled on a couch in the café, the AC blowing. Through the wide window, he could see the building under renovation nearby. Waves of drilling noise came through, sounding like alien attacks.

He sighed. “Those guys are turning me into mush…”

Mush?

Is the dust too heavy? The kid sounds out of it.

Dawn felt a twinge of pity and quickened her steps. “Wait for me, okay? I’ll be there in half an hour at most.”

She hurried out and almost bumped into Victor.

“Ms. West, is something wrong?”

“No…”

Dawn took two steps, then turned back. “Yes, actually. I’m going to pick someone up. Come with me.”

They’d only lived together for two days, but Benjamin had a mountain of toys and luggage. It would help to have someone carry things, in case Aidan was busy.

They drove over.

The moment the car stopped, Dawn pushed the door open and got out.

From afar, she saw the tall man standing on scaffolding, bare–chested. His tan skin was covered with a sheen of sweat. His even eight–pack traced a perfect V–line that disappeared into his waistband.

A towel was tucked into his pocket, hanging loosely down the side of his hip and thigh.

Dawn praised his build inwardly, then quickly pulled herself back to reality.

This was clearly a construction site, full of dust and noise. And Aidan let the kid stay in a place like this?

Her face darkened.

She had had enough.

“What’s wrong with you? Do you know Benjamin’s still growing? His immune system isn’t even good. If he stays here all day, what if he gets sick? If you couldn’t take care of him, you could’ve just called me!”

Aidan looked down at the woman below. She had her head tilted up, her delicate face growing angrier by the second.

“Done yelling?”

Dawn glared at him. “No. Get down here!”

Aidan raised an eyebrow and climbed down the ladder slowly.

“I really don’t get it. Clearly, you can hire someone to do this. Why do you insist on doing it yourself? Does it make you look more professional?”

Dawn kept going, hands on her hips.

But with a face this pretty, no matter how she scolded him, she didn’t look fierce at all. If anything, she looked … adorable.

Aidan glanced at her deeply and didn’t answer.

He took off his gloves and tossed them aside.

away. After

Dawn knew he was cold as ice, but she couldn’t hold it back anymore. She lectured him for a long while, then demanded angrily, “Where’s the kid? Where is he? I’m taking him today, don’t even think about seeing him again!”

After she finished, Aidan finally looked in another direction.

“Hey, I’m talking to you!”

Dawn thought he still wasn’t going to say anything. She lifted her hand and punched him lightly. “Where is he?!”

The man raised his sharp chin just a little.

“Over there.”

Dawn followed his gaze. The child was extremely comfortable, lying on a chaise lounge inside the café. A big umbrella at the door blocked most of the sunlight, and he even had on sunglasses. The little table beside him was piled with snacks and drinks. There wasn’t the slightest hint that he’d been mistreated.

Dawn stared in shock, completely speechless.

:

In this situation, nothing she said would make sense anymore.

The kid seemed to be having the time of his life.

She stumbled over her words for a good while. Luckily, Benjamin noticed them at that moment. He sat up and waved both arms. “Dawn! I’m over here!”

Dawn smiled and thought, That little punk. If I hadn’t seen him there, I wouldn’t be this embarrassed.

She resigned herself and let out a breath, then walked over.

Aidan was about to follow when something flickered through his eyes. He saw a man walking toward them from a distance.
