Chapter 168
"Trevor, you're still having difficulties moving around. You can't get downstairs now. I'll send you something to eat later."
This woman was no one else but Leah.
When Trevor saw her, he frowned at that instant.
"Who allowed you to enter?"
The Gulliford family mansion wasn't a place where she could come.
"It's Old Mr. Gulliford. He said Bennett is young, and he needs a mom. Moreover, you need someone to take care of you too. Old Mr. Guillford has aged. Of course, it's me who needs to shoulder some of the responsibilities." Leah continued shyly, "I'm the acknowledged granddaughter-in-law after all."
Before Trevor could say a thing, Bennett retorted, "I don't need a mommy cause I already have one. And that's not you!"
How could she be qualified to be his mom?
Bennett hated her.
"Be a good kid, Bennett. Stop fooling around. I've even made you your favorite cake." Leah smiled, pointing to the cake placed on the table not far away.
"You're not my mommy! And I don't like to eat cakes!"
Bennett furrowed his little brows. His eyes were filled with rage.
He only had one mom.
"Bennett, be good. I'm your mom."
Leah walked over and stood beside Bennett. When she was about to grab his wrist with her fair, slender fingers, Trevor stepped forward and stopped her.
Looking at Bennett, who was hiding behind him, Trevor's expression darkened even more.
"Do you not understand what Bennett said? Get lost! Don't make me repeat myself."
"Trevor, don't worry. I'll definitely make you fall in love with me."
Leah withdrew her hand instinctively. No matter what it was, she shouldn't let Trevor increase his hatred of her. As long as she stayed in the Gulliford family mansion, the chances were everywhere. "Move!"
Trevor's eyes were filled with hostility.
Leah could only step away. She didn't dare to have things her way.
The father and son proceeded to have their meal in the dining room. Trevor wasn't feeling good.
He hadn't been getting any news from Martin about Jessica. He had no appetite.
However, Bennett was a kid. Trevor didn't want his son to be affected by him. Before heading back to his room, he told Bennett to eat slowly and go upstairs once he was full.
Bennett nodded and continued eating. There was nothing to be afraid of. After all, this wasn't his first time being here in the Gulliford family mansion. "Bennett?"
Not long after Trevor left, Leah came to the dining room. Clear enough, she was up to no good.Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.
"What do you want?" he asked.
Facing the woman who yearned to be his mom, he couldn't be bothered to be respectful. It was merely out of basic manners that he replied to her. "Bennett, do you know who your mom is?" Leah smiled faintly and sat beside him.
"What has it got to do with you?"
Bennett stopped whatever he was doing. His expression wasn't friendly.
"Of course, it has got something to do with me." Leah snatched the fork in his hand. She wasn't being nice. "Regardless of who was your from in the past, it can only be mean the future, understand?"
"You're not my mommy. Not in the past, and never in the future."
Bennett flashed her a sharp glare. He threw away the fork she used into the trash can. Using a new fork, he then dumped the food that she dished up for him into the kitchen waste bin.
"You..."
Before she finished speaking, she caught a glance at the window and saw Maximilian walking in. She leaned backward and slumped to the floor, right in time for Maximilian to see it.
Standing by the entrance, he asked puzzledly, "What's the matter?"
"It's okay, Old Mr. Gulliford. It's my fault. Bennett is still a kid, please don't blame him," Leah said in a worried tone and looked pleadingly into his eyes.
