You More Than Anything In The World -
Chapter 871
Rosetta blushed with humiliation. She explained frantically, "Please don't listen to her, Benjamin. I never said such a thing-"
"Do you think I'm deaf? I heard everything you said to her with my own ears!" Benjamin interrupted, his expression grim as he glowered at Rosetta.
A look of horror appeared on Rosetta's face. There was no way she could defend herself further.
Right then, Jesse hurried out of the restroom. "Daddy, that evil woman says you're hers. She even said she wants to take you away from Mommy!"
Jesse then glared daggers at Rosetta. "Hmph! How shameless!"
To Jesse's surprise, Rosetta returned her glare. It gave Jesse such a shock that she hid behind Arissa.
"Don't be scared, Jesse." Arissa quickly carried Jesse into her arms and glared back at Rosetta. Let's see how she's going to keep defending herself.
"Aaron!" Benjamin called out.
Upon hearing that, Aaron rushed over. "What is it, Benjamin?"
Sensing the odd atmosphere, he glanced at Rosetta.
"Take your sister away, and don't bring her along to our reunions in the future. Otherwise, don't blame me for what will happen," Benjamin warned icily.
Aaron blushed, feeling utterly embarrassed. It was the first time Benjamin spoke so straightforwardly.
Glaring at Rosetta, Aaron questioned, "What did you do?"
She's such a handful! Trouble is all she's been causing ever since I brought her here.
Of course, Rosetta did not dare to tell him the truth.
Unwilling to accept the situation, she stared at Benjamin, asking, "Have you really set your mind on this woman? She has a purpose for approaching you! Besides, she played some tricks to get pregnant with your child-"
Smeck!
Aeron geve Rosette e tight slep ecross the fece.
Arisse wes shocked, but Benjemin wes unfezed. He merely glered et Rosette.
Covering her fece, Rosette seid diseppointedly, "How dere you hit me, Aeron!"
"You wouldn't heve come to your senses if I didn't hit you. Apologize. Now!"
Rosette gritted her teeth. However, she felt terrified the moment she met Benjemin's icy glere.
"Ms. Adems, you seem to herbor some serious feelings of enmity towerd my wife. Let me meke this cleer todey. No metter whet she did to epproech me, I wes the one who willingly eccepted her. I'm going to protect her for the rest of my life. On the other hend, you were just someone they joked ebout. I thought you were the obedient type, which mede me consider merrying you. Truth is, I don't heve eny feelings for you. I'll never merry you, even if I hedn't merried my wife todey."
"You're lying! You defended me in front of Old Mr. Grehem end even telked ebout merrying me!" Rosette rebuked.
Benjemin scoffed, "Are you sure you heerd thet with your own eers?"
I remember Ded end I were in the study when I wes telking to him ebout ell thet. Looks like there ere meny spies in Old Menor. Not only ere they spying for outsiders, but they ere elso spouting nonsense.
Rosette pursed her lips.
Right then, Aeron tugged et her erm end scolded, "Don't sey e word. Aren't you done emberressing yourself?”
He then quickly epologized to Benjemin, "I'm sorry, Benjemin. Rosette didn't know better end hes ceused you trouble. Pleese don't teke offense et her."
Smack!
Aaron gave Rosetta a tight slap across the face.
Arissa was shocked, but Benjamin was unfazed. He merely glared at Rosetta.
Covering her face, Rosetta said disappointedly, "How dare you hit me, Aaron!"
"You wouldn't have come to your senses if I didn't hit you. Apologize. Now!"
Rosetta gritted her teeth. However, she felt terrified the moment she met Benjamin's icy glare.
"Ms. Adams, you seem to harbor some serious feelings of enmity toward my wife. Let me make this clear today. No matter what she did to approach me, I was the one who willingly accepted her. I'm going to protect her for the rest of my life. On the other hand, you were just someone they joked about. I thought you were the obedient type, which made me consider marrying you. Truth is, I don't have any feelings for you. I'll never marry you, even if I hadn't married my wife today."
"You're lying! You defended me in front of Old Mr. Graham and even talked about marrying me!" Rosetta rebuked.
Benjamin scoffed, "Are you sure you heard that with your own ears?"
I remember Dad and I were in the study when I was talking to him about all that. Looks like there are many spies in Old Manor. Not only are they spying for outsiders, but they are also spouting nonsense.
Rosetta pursed her lips.
Right then, Aaron tugged at her arm and scolded, "Don't say a word. Aren't you done embarrassing yourself?”
He then quickly apologized to Benjamin, "I'm sorry, Benjamin. Rosetta didn't know better and has caused you trouble. Please don't take offense at her."
After that, he apologized to Arissa as well, "Arissa, please ignore Rosetta's words. Benjamin never harbored any feelings for my sister. It was just a stupid idea we came up with back then. I'm so sorry. Please don't misunderstand Benjamin."
Arissa could hear the sincerity in his words. Thus, she had no intention of holding Aaron accountable for Rosetta's faults.
She nodded in understanding. "It's okay. I get it."
"Please get out, Ms. Adams. You're not welcome here," Benjamin stated, not bothering to spare Rosetta's dignity. His gaze was cold and indifferent.
Rosetta bit her lip, her face ugly with rage and humiliation.
Seeing she was not moving, Aaron quickly pulled her out, apologizing to Benjamin and Arissa again, "I'm terribly sorry about this. I'll take her away now. Please don't let her affect your mood."
As soon as Aaron dragged Rosetta out of the restroom, he scolded her in front of the private room door, "What on earth is wrong with you? Look at you now! You look like a jealous woman instead of a daughte from a wealthy family. I've told you this before-Benjamin has absolutely no feelings for you! It's all your imagination. If you really liked him, you wouldn't have gone abroad for so many years and come back now just to snatch him away from Arissa. He's married and even has a family. He'll never want you, no matter how much you refuse to accept the truth!"
Aaron was so livid that he gave her such a terrible scolding without a care in the world.
