The More the Merrier novel Chapter 70

Chapter 70 Another Illegitimate Child

Benjamin chucked his phone into his pocket after the meeting. He made his way back to his office, where Kingsley had already been waiting for him inside.

With a grim look on his face, an unmistakable aura of tension emanated bleakly off Benjamin. When Kingsley noticed that, he tensed up with anxiety.

“Listen to me, Boss. Let me explain!” uttered Kingsley.

With his dark, brooding gaze, Benjamin cast a piercing side-eye at him that shot shivers right down Kingsley’s spine.

Without haste, Kingsley cleared his throat and explained, “Boss, how can you still take it lying down after your precious Sweetheart was mistreated? Even if you can take it under your stride, I can’t hold back any longer!” Even though he was agitated, Kingsley did not expose Gavin and the reason he was here, which was to see if Benjamin’s paternal love would surmount feelings over an old flame.

“Who gave you the picture?” asked Benjamin, glaring from the corners of his eyes. The answer to that was obvious, but he wanted to hear it from Kingsley.

“Well, I saw it on Gavin’s phone!” replied Kingsley.

As Benjamin’s somber face remained emotionless, Kingsley could not fathom what was on his mind.

Meanwhile, Danna was still trying to get Benjamin on the phone. With his gaze darkened, Benjamin felt the wrath of fury rage through him as he retrieved his phone.

Kingsley sensed that and extended his head out with a glance. “Hah! To think she has the cheek to call you up now. I’m sure she is going to plead for her innocence. Don’t forget how she threatened me earlier on.”

“She threatened you?” Benjamin rolled his eyes up in a curious gaze at Kingsley.

Kingsley handed over a recording and said, “I think you already know about it. Danna is still adamant that she didn’t do it. She sure is cruel. How can she bear to do that to her own child, especially when Gavin is so adorable?”

Continuing on, Kingsley said, “She thought you would marry her because of Gavin. When you refused, she vented her anger on the poor kid. How inhumane! Are you aware that Danna had mistreated Gavin in the past?”

Benjamin’s dashing face turned sullenly grim after he heard that.

In a split second, Kingsley shot a forceful glance at him. “You are his father. I’m asking you if you are aware!”

“If I had known this earlier, I wouldn’t have let her mistreat my son,” fumed Benjamin as he glared back at Kingsley vehemently.
