Chapter 152

Chapter 152 Shirley gave in. She would beg at that was what Benjamin wanted.

However, Arthur shook his head. “Mr. Blackwood went out with Damian. I don’t mow where they are. Perhaps you could try calling I him.”

Shirley immediately pulled out her phone. But the result was predictable–Benjamin didn’t answer, and worse, he had blocked her number. Shirley’s face turned pale with anger, and Arthur could only watch helplessly.

Eventually, Shirley and her suitcase were left outside the gates of Blackwood Manor.

Before she left, Arthur offered a suggestion “Maybe you could try contacting Mrs. Blackwood Senior,” he said, Shirley knew she could turn to Mrs. Blackwood Senior for help, but that would be her final option. She didn’t want to give Benjamin another reason to despise her.

The sky had already darkened, and the dim lights along the road only made her feel alone and abandoned. Shirley stared at the road ahead, feeling completely lost and unsure of where to go she longed to retum home, but she couldn’t leave the Blackwoods.

After a long moment of thought, Shirley pulled out her phone and reached out to her contacts. She quickly typed the message:

“Ineed Benjamin’s exact location, as soon as possible.”

At that moment, Benjamin was taking Damian to see Calvin Crawford. Calvin and Benjamin were cl close friends. He was also Damian’s psychologist and a leading expert in his field After a series of questions and answers, Calvin was astonished. Damian was surprisingly willing to communicate, and his Newlandian was impressively fluent “Benjamin, your son is definitely a genius,” Calvin marveled Benjamin’s cold expression remained unchanged. “Given his condition, is it possible for him to attend school?‘ he asked.

Damian was four years old, the age at which most children attended preschool Calin pondered for a moment. “Let’s observe him for a while longer. It would be best to wait until he has full control of his emotions–ideally until he starts speaking, before sending him to school”

Damian was sensitive, and Calvin worried that the careless words of his preschool classmates might trigger an emotional outburst, causing him to be treated as an outcast. After listening to Calvin, Benjamin understood his concerns and stayed silent.

Calvin continued, “Damian’s condition is very stable now. Your wife deserves a lot of credit for that. Give me her number. We need to find a way to get Damian talking as soon as possible.”

Benjamin glanced at Calvin, his face expressionless. “Think of another way”

Calvin was taken aback. “What happened?”

“She has a bad temper, so I kicked her out,” Benjamin replied nonchalantly. Besides her bad temper, she was also thinking of another man. It had been years since anyone dared to throw a tantrum in front of him, but she constantly irritated him Calvin was speechless. They’d only been married a short time, yet Benjamin had already kicked Shirley out. Whose temper was really the problem here, he wondered.

Just then, Damian, who had been drawing inside, came out and rugged on Benjamin’s pant leg. Benjamin looked down and saw Damian patting his stomach, his small, innocent face expressionless. He was nothing like the sweet, obedientlad he was around Shirley “Are you hungry, Damian? Let me take you to get something to eat,” Calvin said, reaching out to pick him up. But Damian quickly slapped Calvin’s hand away, glaring at him.
