Chapter 43 I Want Mommy

Edwin looked anxious as he looked toward Benjamin and the two exchanged glances.

“Mr. Graham, please don’t be so fierce toward Gavin. He might be acting this way because of Ms. Adams. That was why he wanted to eat…”

Edwin didn’t care how Benjamin scolded himself. However, seeing Jasper’s expression, he couldn’t help but feel bad for him.

Benjamin paused for a second. He then narrowed his eyes and looked upstairs.

“Mr. Graham… should I… go check on Jasper?”

He didn’t dare to leave without Benjamin’s permission.

Benjamin waved his hand. “You go check on him.”

Gavin’s temper has become worse lately.

The sound of a door slamming echoed from upstairs.

Edwin rushed up with the ice cream still in his hand. Unfortunately, he was locked out by Jasper.

“Gavin, Mr. Graham did raise his voice, but he just wanted the best for you. He didn’t scold you on purpose. The snacks were really bad for your health. Gavin, could you please open the door for me?”

“I need some time alone!” Jasper shouted before he covered his face under the blanket.

“I want Mommy! I want Mommy! I do not want Daddy! He’s so fierce!”

Edwin heard Jasper’s cries from inside the room. He thought of how Danna treated Jasper, but when he was feeling down, she was still the first person he wanted. The thought really pulled on Edwin’s heartstrings.

There’s no child who doesn’t want their mother, but how can Ms. Adams be so heartless?

“Gavin, I’ll call Ms. Adams and have her come over,” Edwin said.

“Who said I wanted her to come! She’s a bad person. I never want to see her ever again!” Jasper shouted furiously.

Jasper wanted his Mommy, not that evil woman.

He wanted to change with Gavin and be back in his own home.

As the thought came into Jasper’s head, he picked up his phone and called Gavin. No one picked up the call.

Not being able to find Gavin, Jasper felt even worse. He then started crying loudly.

Edwin tried to calm him down, but it made him cry even louder. Feeling helpless, Edwin went to see Benjamin.

“Mr. Graham, Gavin is crying in his room. He won’t open the door no matter what I do.”

Benjamin looked up. Jasper’s cries could be heard even from below.

I never knew Gavin is such a crybaby.

Edwin observed his expressions and decided to tell him. “Mr. Graham, Gavin was asking for his mother, but he didn’t want to see Ms. Adams.”

The craving for motherly love, but tying in with a feeling of fear. It was terribly sad.

Benjamin’s eyes flickered. He took the ice cream from Edwin’s hand.

“You can get back to your work. Don’t let him eat that many snacks next time.”

“Understood.”

Edwin felt relieved as he saw Benjamin heading upstairs.

It’s best for Mr. Graham to go talk to Gavin.

Benjamin went in front of Jasper’s room.

He heard Jasper’s sobs and complaints. “So fierce! I don’t like him! I want to run away from here. I don’t want to stay at this stupid place. I want to go find Mommy.”

Benjamin furrowed his brow and said, “Gavin, open the door.”

Suddenly, the room became quiet.

There was not even a tiny bit of crying heard.

Jasper looked at the door in horror, thinking if Benjamin had heard everything he said.

He quickly hid under the blanket and acted like he was asleep.

Benjamin waited for a while. Seeing that his son didn’t open the door, he knocked on the door.

“I know you’re in there. Open the door. Let us have a chat.”

Jasper replied, “I have nothing to talk to you. You’re so fierce. I don’t want to see you now.”

Benjamin sighed. “Do you still feel like eating ice cream?”

The ice cream was slowly melting in his hand.

Jasper blinked his eyes and groaned. He then pulled his blanket to cover his whole head.

Seeing that being soft was not working, Benjamin did it the hard way. “I said open the door!”

But Jasper didn’t give any reaction.

As he didn’t hear anything from Jasper, Benjamin was confused. He was worried that his son might have passed out from crying too hard. He squeezed on the doorknob.NôvelDrama.Org content rights.
