You More Than Anything In The World novel Chapter 17

“Hey, Daddy. What if Mommy wanted to marry you, so she took someone else’s child to claim as hers?” Jasper added while Benjamin remained confused. Benjamin rubbed Jasper’s head. He was amazed by the child’s imagination. When Benjamin woke up years ago, Danna was already by his side. He was furious at her schemes. She then left him just to return with a child, claiming he was theirs through a DNA test. There was a blurry memory that never left his mind. It was a memory where there was another woman with a gentler voice, and she wore a unique perfume. He cut his train of thoughts. 

If Danna really adopted a child and the child is mine by coincidence, then who exactly is that woman? It was not as if Benjamin never suspected so. However, it was scientifically proven that Gavin was indeed Danna and his child. Could she have altered the results of the DNA test? “Daddy, I don’t want her as my mommy. I want another mommy!” Jasper held on to Benjamin and nuzzled against him. Gavin had never acted childishly around Benjamin, hence Benjamin’s heart melted at this sight. Benjamin patted Jasper’s head and said, “Don’t say such silly things!” Even though Benjamin had his doubts, there was no way he could discuss them with his son without having solid proof.

He wanted to prevent his son from unnecessarily hating Danna even more. Jasper pouted. It seemed that Benjamin had yet to fully trust him. I have to obtain concrete evidence to persuade Daddy. “Daddy, if she really isn’t my mommy, would you be with my biological mommy instead?” Benjamin never thought of such a scenario. If Danna was not Gavin’s mother, how would Gavin’s true mother be together with Benjamin if he had never even seen her face? Meanwhile, Arissa brought her four kids out for a meal and went shopping to let them familiarize themselves with their surroundings. “Jasper, what kind of hat do you prefer?” Gavin was not used to other people calling him Jasper, so it took him a while before he responded. Zachary lightly tapped Gavin since Arissa was puzzled by his lack of response.

“Mommy is calling you!” Gavin came back to his senses with a blush on his face. “What did you say, Mommy?” Arissa noticed that he wasn’t paying attention and squeezed his cheeks while pointing at the store. “Which hat do you like?” Gavin looked at the hats available and replied, “I like the black one!” Arissa froze. Doesn’t he like green? “Are you sure?” Gavin had no idea why she was asking him such a question. “Yes!” he answered while nodding. Arissa was shocked and teased him, “Are you going for a change of style? Didn’t you like green?” Gavin was stunned to hear that because Jasper never mentioned that he liked green. Zachary laughed as he noticed that Gavin was confused. He was worried that Arissa could see through their lie. “Mommy, he wants to look cool!” Gavin glimpsed at Zachary and remained speechless.

What do you mean? It’s just my favorite color. Oliver rubbed his chin as he felt that Jasper was acting weirdly. “Wasn’t green your favorite color? When did that change?” Gavin glanced at him and smirked in return. “Am I not allowed to have a change in style?” “I want to change my style too!” Jesse exclaimed smilingly. “Mommy, can I have the pink one?” Arissa was amused by Jesse’s request. She requested the storekeeper for two hats, one black, and one pink. Jesse instantly tried out the hat and showed it to the others. “How do I look?” “It’s perfect!” Gavin supported Jesse. His gaze remained on Jesse as the hat made the latter seem even more feminine. “Here, try the hat.” Arissa squatted and helped Gavin wear his hat.
