The More the Merrier novel Chapter 211

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.”

All she felt was anxiety, helplessness, and despair. Someone snatched her child away from her, and she was incapable of protecting him.

“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-”
