Chapter 50 Evil Woman

When Arissa heard Jasper call her Mommy, she trembled and almost cried.

She kissed him on the cheek, as she knew that he called her Mommy because he longed for a mother’s love.

“What’s your name, sweetheart?” She gathered her emotion and asked as she continued to hold him in her arms.

He looks awfully similar to Jasper!

Jasper sighed when he noticed that Arissa did not recognize him.

“My name is Gavin, Mommy!” Jasper smiled and said to Arissa in order not to startle her.

“Gavin…” As she repeated his name under her breath, she felt like she had reunited with her child.

She held Jasper tightly in her arms and asked him, “Sweetheart, is Danna, your Mommy treating you well?”

Jasper was in a dilemma. If I say no, Mommy will surely be upset. But I don’t want to say yes too!

“She doesn’t like me. She is pretending to like me so that Daddy will accept her. But she’s not living with us, and Daddy didn’t marry her too. She’s not my Mommy, right? There’s no way that Daddy and Mommy live separately!”

Arissa patted his head.

Didn’t Danna say that she’s Benjamin’s fiancée? Why aren’t they married even though they had a child? Could it be that Benjamin disliked her, or something happened that made Benjamin refuse to

take her as his wife?

“Do you usually live with your Daddy, sweetheart?” Arissa asked.

Jasper nodded and replied, “More or less. We are the only ones that are staying here!”

He did not see anyone else here these few days except for Danna.

“How’s your Daddy treating you? Is he always that stern?” Arissa asked curiously as she wanted to know more about him.

“Yeah, he’s pretty strict to me. He doesn’t even allow me to have snacks!” Jasper complained.

His answer humored Arissa, and she patted his head while saying, “He’s right. It would be best if you didn’t eat too many snacks because it’s bad for your health. But you can eat other foods such as fruits or bread!”

Jasper lowered his head as he heard that, and Arissa kissed his forehead, thinking that he was embarrassed.

Benjamin was deep in thought on the other side of the door when he overheard the conversation between them.

“Can you be my Mommy, Ms. York? I don’t like that woman. She’s evil!”

Arissa was taken aback, and she asked him, “What makes you think that she’s evil?”

She could not imagine a child claiming that his mother is evil unless Danna had done something unimaginable.

When the thought of Danna mistreating Gavin just because he was not her biological son came to her, Arissa was worried.

“Anyway, she’s evil. You have to be careful around her, Mommy!”

Arissa was relieved when she could tell that Gavin really disliked Danna.

Danna was undoubtedly not a good woman. Besides, Gavin has no affection for her, so she would not have to worry about anything. What happened five years ago has to come to an end!

“All right, I will. Tell me, sweetheart, did she ever mistreat you?” Arissa frowned as she asked.

Jasper took a look at her without answering her question.

When Arissa saw his expression, she immediately knew the answer, as she was already a mother of four children.

Her heart skipped a beat, and she continued to ask him, “How did she mistreat you? Are you okay?”

Jasper nodded. “I’m fine, but she pinched me yesterday!” This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

“Where did she pinch you? Let Mom-me see it!” Arissa was upset and furious at the same time.

How dare she do that to my sweetheart!

Jasper rolled up his sleeve and pointed. “Here.”

Arissa gasped as she saw the bruise on Jasper’s arm.
