You More Than Anything In The World

Chapter 30

“Benjamin!” Feeling devastated, Danna ran up to him and hugged him from behind. “I was wrong, Benjamin. After all these years, you’re still cold and hostile toward me. My heart hurts so much just from thinking about it. Can’t you just forgive me? I’m really sorry. I-I shouldn’t have set you up. But I really like you, and I want to be with you! Why aren’t you able to forgive what I did? It’s not that I don’t love Gavin.

I’m just worried that I was pampering him too much!” Mustering up her courage, Danna continued with a quivered voice, “Does this mean that you’re not going to be with me anymore, Benjamin?” She only wanted to stay beside him. After all, they were in a romantic relationship. Danna wondered whether she was in the wrong all along. Benjamin felt uncomfortable by Danna’s sudden action. Immediately, he freed himself and turned around to see Danna’s eyes filled with tears. He frowned heavily and shouted, “You knew I hate being set up!”

Danna shivered uncontrollably as her eyes met with Benjamin’s cold glare. He walked toward the window and looked outside. In a cold and chilling voice, Benjamin went on, “You were aware of the consequences, and you knew what you were doing. Are you that desperate be a part of the Graham family?” Danna was embarrassed upon hearing Benjamin’s words. Clenching her fists tightly, she whimpered, “I love you. I want to be with you, and I want to get married to you. Am I wrong for thinking that way?” Benjamin turned on his heel and looked at her with distant, cold eyes.

“But I don’t love you at all!” “Impossible!” Danna staggered, unable to accept what Benjamin had said to her. She stepped forward and tried to wrap her arms around his neck. Just as she was about to lean forward and kiss him, Benjamin caught a whiff of the pungent perfume smell on her. Instantly, he felt dizzy and nauseous. Benjamin pushed Danna away and glared sharply at her. “Stop doing all the things that I despise!” Danna felt intensely frustrated. After all these years, Benjamin never forgave her for what she did. Not only that, he became even more hostile toward her.Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

It’s normal for couples to kiss, isn’t it? Why is he rejecting my kiss? He even said it’s something that he despises? Danna scoffed quietly. Benjamin had always indulged her wishes when they were together in the past. “Why?” As tears brimmed in her eyes, Danna could not help but question him. “Are you in love with someone else?” Having heard what Ethen had said a while ago, Danna panicked upon seeing how Benjamin behaved toward her. “You know I’m not in the mood for this. Just leave.” Benjamin gave her a cold glance before returning to his desk.

“Don’t come looking for Gavin. Even if you do, you won’t be able to see him at all!” Danna was infuriated. I’ve done so much for him, and yet I get nothing in return? “Benjamin… The elders want us home for dinner.” Benjamin froze. Without lifting his head, he answered, “All right.” As she looked at his cold demeanor, Danna’s heart ached badly. Unfortunately, she was madly in love with his handsome face. As she regained her composure, Danna placed the food next to Benjamin and said, “I’ll take my leave, then.”

Benjamin remained silent in return. Upon seeing his muted response, tears welled up in Danna’s eyes. She covered her mouth and darted out of the room. Benjamin cast a glance at the door before returning his gaze to the lunch box Danna had left on the desk. A darkened expression appeared on his face as he was reminded of how Danna had tried to harm his son.

Gavin had woken up in the middle of the night from a terrible nightmare. It was only at dawn that he was able to fall asleep again. I wonder if that kid’s awake now? Meanwhile, Jasper, who was still mistaken for Gavin, was busy stuffing his mouth with food in the dining area, accompanied by the butler. “Is there any more food left, Mr. Whitley?”

Edwin was shocked to see his enormous appetite. “You don’t eat that much normally, Gavin. Why are you eating so much all of a sudden?” Jasper blinked and said, “It’s because I’m hungry!”
