Chapter 1015
Jonathan glanced at them, then walked away, saying, “I'm leaving now. I've got matters to
attend to at my law firm.”
Shaun pushed Kingsley away. “Don't put your arm around me!”
Jonathan was shooting us a strange look just now.
After saying that, he ignored the other man and walked toward his office.
“What's there to be afraid of? We are all men!” Kingsley laughed and hurried after him.
After entering the ward and closing the door gently, Benjamin pulled a chair over and sat
beside the hospital bed to keep an eye on Darius.
His heart wrenched with guilt as he stared at his unconscious father.
I should've waited until the ceremony was over or called the police another day. Then, Dad
probably wouldn't have fainted out of anger. However, thinking about something that has
already happened won't fix anything.
Benjamin pursed his lips before leaning over to tuck Darius' blanket in.
Then, he fixated his eyes on his father while keeping his hands together in his lap.
After bringing the children back to Yaleview and telling them to rest, Arissa busied herself
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtin the kitchen.
Edwin saw her bustling around when he came back from the Old Manor. “Is Old Mr.
Graham all right, Mrs. Graham?” he asked.
Arissa looked at him and sighed. “He's out of danger but hasn't woken up yet when I came
back.”
“That's good to know. We were all very worried.”
Despite nodding profusely, the worry on the butler's face was still present.
“Old Mr. Graham is out of danger, Edwin. Don't worry too much!” Arissa reassured him.
He gave her another nod.
She then asked, “Edwin, have all the relatives at the Old Manor left?”
Since she wanted to return to Yaleview to prepare some food for Darius, she could care
less about the situation at the Old Manor.
“I've told them to go back. No one was in the mood to have dinner after what happened to
Old Mr. Graham. We've taken care of everything there, so you need not worry, Mrs.
Graham,” Edwin reported to her the events at the Old Manor.
She inclined her head. “Thank you for doing that. We didn't even take care of it!”
“It's all good as long as Old Mr. Graham is fine! Thankfully, all the important things today
have been completed!” the butler replied with a smile.
Arissa let out a sigh when she heard that. I know, right. I still have lingering fears thinking
about the car accident last night.
Never did she expect Nick to be behind the incident. Even if they don't share the same
mother, there's no need to go to such extremes, is there?
It was not until then that she truly realized how terrible they had been to Benjamin.
All of them.
“Edwin, did all those people despise Benjamin when they shared a home?” she inquired.
The butler answered with fury in his eyes, “Mr. Bryan and Mr. Nick have always been
hostile to him, and now they're even resorting to dirty measures and hiring someone to
get rid of him. They're utterly despicable!”
Arissa's heart clenched when she heard that.
“Has Benjamin ever encountered anything like that before?” she inquired.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmEdwin thought for a while before replying, “A couple, but none as serious as this.”
Arissa pursed her lips and frowned. Aren't these people stepping way out of line?
“Don't worry, Mrs. Graham. Mr. Graham is not a pushover, and those people didn't gain
any upper hand,” the butler informed her for her peace of mind.
Arissa nodded.
“What are you preparing, Mrs. Graham? Let me do it. Go get some rest!”
Edwin offered to take over the work after seeing how busy she was.
“No need. I can handle it. You've been busy all morning, Edwin, so go and rest. I can
prepare lunch on my own.”
Despite her telling him to rest, he stayed and helped her in the kitchen with lunch.
Meanwhile, after the six children had returned to their bedroom and changed their clothes,
they ran downstairs.
Their faces twisted with fury when they overheard Edwin and Arissa's conversation, and
they instantly felt sorry for their father.
These horrible uncles! I can't believe they bullied Daddy.
The children looked at each other before running to the study tacitly. Meanwhile, Arissa
did not notice them coming downstairs and continued focusing on making lunch.
