Sextuplets From Ruthless Love

"Bennett, how can you do this? This is very rude!"

Having his hands behind his back, Maximilian raised his head and looked at Bennett.Content © NôvelDrama.Org.

"It's not me. I didn't even touch her."

His eyes were filled with disdain as he stared at Leah on the floor. What a contemptuous act by this woman. You don't even fit to be my friend, let alone my mommy, he thought. "Old Mr. Gulliford, it's my fault. I didn't know that Bennett doesn't like to eat vegetables. It's me who did wrong," Leah said pitifully.

Maximilian became angry at once.

"This is simply ridiculous! To do something like this just because of a trivial matter? Men! Watch him rewrite the family's genealogy 100 times. Don't let him sleep if he can't finish it." To Maximilian, Bennett was like his father. Both of them didn't like Leah so it was understandable that they went against her.

Bennett was still a kid after all. He'd start to accept Leah after being punished once or twice.

Good things needed time to come true.

"Old Mr. Gulliford, it's not Bennett's fault. Don't punish him. He's still a kid, and it's going to exhaust him," Leah said pretentiously to the extent that her eyes reddened. "Because he is young, this is why he needs to do it. Only then he'll learn his lesson," Maximilian said.

Bennett was so angry that he pursed his lips. However, he didn't say anything. He turned around and went upstairs to copy the family's genealogy.

As long as they didn't make a big issue out of it and his dad's recuperation wasn't disturbed, the punishment didn't matter to him.

As for that woman, he'd definitely pay her back for what she did to him.

Bennett stayed in the study until late at night. Trevor was worried. "Didn't Bennett tell me that he'd sleep with me tonight? Why is he still not here?" he mused.

Getting down from his bed slowly, he wanted to look for him. However, in the middle of his way, he was stopped by Leah.

"Trevor, you're not asleep yet? I've been staying outside here all the while. Just call me if you need anything."

"Out of my way."

Trevor didn't want to talk to her. He strode ahead but was stopped by Leah again.

"Trevor, Bennett has already gone to sleep. I put him to bed. It's late now, so it's better to not disturb his rest. Kids are timid. They might get startled easily."

Trevor frowned. He was feeling dubious about her words.

"Trevor, if you don't trust me, you can ask Sophia."

Leah then called over the housekeeper, who was mopping the floor along the corridor, Sophia Hill.

"Sophia, tell Trevor. Is Bennett sleeping in his room?"

Sophia was startled upon seeing

her. Gabriel had just said it today to not offend this woman as she might

be another Mrs. Gulliford in the

future who would

have control over the family.

"Yes, you're right." Sophia nodded and continued to clean the floor. She was afraid that Trevor would sense the nervousness in her eyes.

Leah's smile widened. "Trevor, see?

If you think I'm lying to you, what about them? They have no reason to lie to you. Go ahead and sleep. I'll stay outside here. If there's anything you need, just let me know."

"No need."

Trevor turned around to head back to his room. Since the housekeeper said that Bennett was asleep, then it should bethetruth.

In the study, Bennett was rubbing his eyes. He was still copying the genealogy with the pen in his hand.

The next morning, Leah drank a glass of water and went downstairs to dress herself up. The makeup on her face was delicate.

"Why is my stomach... hurting so much?" she muttered inwardly.

She went to the toilet in a hurry and shut the door.

Standing not far away from the toilet, Bennett's lips curled into a smile.

You want to bully me? It's not going to be easy, he thought.

Leah had lost the number of times she went to the toilet today. It felt like her stomachache had dehydrated her to the point that she could barely stand.

She needed the housekeeper to hold her after coming out of the toilet. Otherwise, she could only rely on the wall to walk.
