Chapter 211 You Can Come To Me âThat woman wants to kill the children and me. Sheâll never let us go. What else could we do other than hide?â
Arissa was filled with indignation at the mention of Danna. She did not care what Benjamin thought about that woman.
âYou can come to me!â He gritted his teeth.
Why did she run away instead of asking me for help when something goes wrong?
In response, Arissa smiled bitterly. âYou care about Danna so much. Would you have cared about our lives?â
His expression darkened. Am I not worth her trust?
She did not know why he was suddenly angry. However, she backed down when she saw his grim expression. âBenjamin, itâs my fault for taking the children away, but I donât want to lose them. Besides, I donât know you well enough to trust you. After all, you and Danna have a very close relationship. If it werenât for you, I wouldnât have been tricked by her. Believe it or not, she separated me from Gavin five years ago. And all of us almost died in her hands.â
Arissaâs eyes reddened as she recalled the past. Those days were like a nightmare to her.
All she felt was anxiety, helplessness, and despair. Someone snatched her child away from her, and she was incapable of protecting him.
She absolutely did not want to experience it for a second time.
Benjamin felt a tug in his heart at the sight of the powerless resentment in her eyes.
âIâve told you before, but you didnât believe me. I simply canât take the risk. Itâs too dangerous for Gavin to stay with you.â Arissa was on the verge of tears.
âWhy do you think sheâs important to me?â His voice was imperceptibly softer than before.
However, he was inexplicably annoyed by her lack of trust.
âIsnât she?â Arissa lifted her head to meet his gaze, and tears trickled down her face.
Benjaminâs brows drew close to a frown as he wiped away the tears from her face. The warm droplets were scorching his heart.
He furrowed his brows tighter, for he did not like to see her crying. âSo, you took the liberty of taking the kids away?â
He stared at her intently. Her nose was red, making her look pitiful.
Her forlorn expression made his annoyance dissipate.
Arissa blinked her eyes in confusion.
Is he saying that Danna isnât important to him anymore?
âGavin said-â
âMommy!â Right then, they heard the boyâs voice at the door.
She promptly pushed Benjamin away and asked her son gently, âSweetheart, are you done packing?â
Her swift reaction rendered the man speechless.
âAll done! Mommy, did you cry?â
Gavin ran into the room and saw her reddened eyes. Immediately, he turned his head and glared at his father. âDid you bully Mommy?â
Facing his sonâs accusation, Benjamin only looked at Gavin in silence.
âWhat a jerk!â the boy scolded.
The next moment, Benjamin grabbed Gavinâs back collar and lifted him off the floor.
The infuriated boy started to struggle in mid-air. âLet go of me!â
âLittle brat, is this how you talk to your father?â
Arissa was worried that Benjamin would drop their son, so she quickly took Gavin away from him. âHow could you grab him like this? What if you drop him?â
After saying that, she hugged Gavin and patted his back.
Benjamin knitted his brows and stared at her in disbelief.
How dare she reprimand me?

Discontented, Arissa shot Benjamin an icy glare as she patted her sonâs head.
The father shot daggers at his pretentious son. Then he ordered in his deep voice, âHurry up and pack your things, Arissa. Iâll give you ten minutes!â
Having said that, he walked to the bedside, sat down, and stared at her.
Arissa was rendered speechless.
If he wanted me to be fast, he shouldnât have interrogated me just now.
âMommy, Iâll help you!â
âOkay!â
Arissa put Gavin down and resumed her packing.
Since she was not sure when they would be back, she packed everything while the boy helped to fold the clothes.
