You More Than Anything In The World novel Chapter 289

Chapter 289 You Matter Most

 

Gavin turned around and shot him a glare. “They won’t!”

Benjamin nodded, feeling relieved that the five kids were getting along well despite their many years of separation.

“I’ve asked Mr. Pattterson to take handle the court case against Danna. He’ll try to get her the heaviest sentence possible.”

Gavin’s eyes lit up when he heard that.

Mr. Pattterson is amazing! With him working on the case, that woman is bound to get punished!

“Don’t think this is enough for me to forgive you, though. You’re always going against your word. I know you still care about her!”

Benjamin frowned as he eyed his son from head to toe. This kid sure has severely misunderstood me.

“Would I have forced her into such a situation if I cared about her? A woman’s reputation is ruined forever once she goes to prison. That’s not a place for normal people, you know?”

Gavin’s guard loosened up a little. “But you carried her to safety back then! You were afraid that she would die!”

 

Benjamin paused. Oh, now I see what this kid is going on about.

“Next time, do not take such matters into your own hands. Let me know if someone bullies you, and I’ll make them pay. You’re still very young, Gavin. If Danna were to die in this accident, you’ll have her blood on your hands for the rest of your life. People might even find ways to threaten you with it in the future. I’m sure your mommy wouldn’t want you to do such a thing either. I saved Danna because her life was at stake. I can’t just sit by and watch if someone I know is in danger, but that doesn’t mean I have feelings for her.”

Benjamin softened his tone as he continued, “It’s my fault for not looking after you well enough. I’m sorry I didn’t notice the signs of you being abused by her.”

I didn’t even notice that my son was being abused right under my nose. It’s no wonder he doesn’t have any confidence in a terrible father like me.

 

“Look, no one matters more to me than you do.”

That was the first time Benjamin had said something so affectionate.

Gavin felt a warm sensation in his heart and asked with a pout, “What about Zachary and the others?”
