The More the Merrier novel Chapter 6

Chapter 6 Daddy Is Married To Another Woman

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.
