Triplets’ Mighty Mom Novel novel Chapter 332

Chapter 332 Wishful Thinking

Out of reflex, Ben shuddered but he quickly said, “I got it. Aunt Lara, don’t worry. I’ll definitely make her happy.” Lara said, “Alright. Later on, be sure to talk sweetly.”

Ben nodded.

While they were chatting, Silas had led Eric and Kelly out of the monitoring room. At once, Lara stood up and walked over to them. “Eric, Kelly, please calm down. It’s all Ben’s fault and I’ve scolded him for hours just now. However, since what’s done is done, why don’t we think of a solution to settle it? Ben has already made his stand clear-he has always liked Aleena and he’s willing to marry her. If you’re fine with it, why don’t we make this marriage happen?” Indifferently, Eric and Kelly stared at Lara, seemingly unmoved. For the sake of their past relationship, they didn’t humiliate Lara. Besides, they hadn’t found any substantial evidence so they couldn’t argue groundlessly, which was why they didn’t go berserk. Yet, things were happening as predicted by Silas. Ben wants to marry our daughter? Impossible! “Do you think we’ll marry our daughter to a man who took advantage of her?” Kelly mocked. Her words were totally not what Lara had expected. How did the situation turn out this way? Wasn’t marrying their daughter to her nephew the only option for them after the scandal happened? “Lara looked at Silas. “Silas, didn’t you show the footage to Uncle Eric and Aunt Kelly?” Silas didn’t reply to her. Instead, Eric said, “We’ve watched it. Aleena was drugged due to her own wrongdoings. She made her bed so let her lie in it.” Feeling slightly relieved, Lara smiled sheepishly. “Since things have happened, let’s not blame the kids anymore. It’s all a misunderstanding and Ben only did it to save her. I’ve asked him about the drug and he said that there’s no other solution to save Aleena other than what they did. Eric, Kelly, I understand how you feel and I feel so heartbroken for Aleena too. However, there were countless reporters here today and we can’t predict what will appear in the news tomorrow. Therefore, we must come up with a solution as soon as possible. What do you say?” With an icy face, Eric looked at Lara. “So your suggestion is to bring them together?” Lara knitted her eyebrows. “Do you have a better solution, Eric?” Kelly snorted in contempt. “Although Ben did that to save Aleena, as a man, he has

indeed taken advantage of her like he said. Besides, is he truly in such a difficult position like what you claim? If he sincerely wanted to save Aleena, couldn’t he have done it someplace else? Why did he have to make it known to everyone at Old Man Nolan’s birthday party? Confessing that he admires Aleena is just nonsense. Even we, who don’t pay attention to gossip, have heard of his reputation as a womanizer so it’s impossible that you have no idea about it. Lara, do you think that we are pushovers? Is that why you are asking Aleena to marry this kind of man?” Awkwardly, Lara forced a smile while explaining, “Well, aren’t we discussing a solution? It would be great if you have a better solution.” Kelly sneered, “Aleena is unconscious due to the drug but Ben is conscious. We’ve done you a huge favor for not getting to the bottom of the fact that he took advantage of my daughter. Saving her is a nice way to put it, but I call b*llshit! If that was another man, I would have charged him for raping my daughter!” Squinting, Lar’s face darkened. “Kelly, you’ll ruin the relationship between our families if you put it that way.” After that, she dragged Ben over and asked, “Ben, what actually happened? Why did you go to Aleena’s room? Did she invite you in or did you take advantage of her?”

Ben was quick-witted. “H-I didn’t, Aunt Lara. I like Aleena but I didn’t take advantage of her. I only went to rest in the room after drinking wine and I truly didn’t expect that Aleena would come in. She asked me to help her and I agreed because I couldn’t bear to see her suffer…”
