Chapter 7 Thank You For Inviting Someone To Act As My Daddy
825 Words
Mason was forced by his father to apologize to Benjamin. Then, Mason's parents apologized profusely to Jocelyn.
Mrs. Clark, who was previously smug and arrogant, put on a cautious smile on her face, "Madam Marshall, it's all my fault for not recognizing you. If you want to blame someone, just blame me. Don't blame Carson, please. It's all my fault."
Mason's father also followed and said, "Madam Marshall, I'm sure you are benevolent. Please forgive us. It was just a little tussle between kids. My wife and I are too unsophisticated and petty to intervene in kids' matters."
Jocelyn turned her head away.
Of course, she knew that the Clarks were not apologizing sincerely. Their attitude changed greatly just because of the man who showed up all of a sudden.
The man with great power and influence in North City...
Jocelyn's mind was in a mess.
What happened four years ago flashed through Jocelyn's mind.
At that time, the Marshall Group was on the verge of collapse. In fact, her sister-in-law and stepmother had set their scheming eyes on the Yarbrough Group.
They had orchestrated for Jocelyn to be sent to seduce Solomon.
She still remembered that after the drug had kicked, Solomon clutched her lower jaw. His dark pupils were frighteningly cold, "Do you think you can get everything you want just by getting into my bed deliberately?"
Jocelyn had looked down and said nothing.
When she was sent to Solomon's bed by her sister-in-law and stepmother, Jocelyn had already expected the ending. Life was not a romance novel.
In a novel, the female lead would get into the male lead's bed on purpose, and then he would fall in love with her. From then on, they would love each other happily ever after.
But how could this be possible in reality?
Especially for a man like Solomon, he was so superior and had experienced all sorts of turmoils and schemes in life. How could he help the Marshall family just because Jocelyn seduced him?
After the mistakes of that night, Jocelyn thought that she would never have any contact with Solomon again.
However, she didn't expect that she would meet him at this moment.
Jocelyn's palms were full of sweat.
She was guessing the reason of Solomon's arrival.
Solomon just said, "My son." Did he know that Benjamin was his son? Did he come here to take Benjamin away?
Jocelyn's heart sank completely.
......
Jocelyn held Benjamin's hand and left the kindergarten in a hurry.
She was walking so fast that Benjamin almost couldn't catch up with her.
He said in his child-like voice, "Jocey, slow down. I can't walk any further."
Jocelyn looked behind and saw no signs of Solomon. She heaved a sigh of relief.
Benjamin said in a longing tone, "Mom, did you invite that handsome uncle to put on a show? Did you hire him to help us?"
Jocelyn was dazed.
She didn't expect that Benjamin would think so. It was not unusual since Benjamin was only four years old. Such a little child wouldn't think too much.
Jocelyn didn't say a word, but Benjamin assumed that she had admitted it.
Benjamin's eyes lit up, "When Mason realized that I have a daddy, he didn't dare to bully me and even apologized to me. They bullied me because I didn't have a daddy! Thank you for inviting someone to act as my daddy!"
Jocelyn bit back her words.
She wanted to tell Benjamin that the man was not invited to be an actor.
However, when she saw Benjamin's bright eyes, she couldn't say anything.
Benjamin really wanted a daddy!
When they arrived at the ground floor of the residential complex, Jocelyn saw a black Bentley parked over there.
The black car cost tens of millions. It was so luxurious, which was a jarring contrast to the dilapidated complex.
Jocelyn felt a suffocated.
There was no way that such a luxury car would park in such a dilapidated complex, unless...
A hint of worry flashed in Jocelyn's eyes.
She knew that she couldn't escape from her destiny the moment the man showed up in the kindergarten.
"Wow, look, that car looks so cool and beautiful," Benjamin whispered while holding Jocelyn's hand.
His little face was full of envy.
Jocelyn patted Benjamin's head and said, "Go upstairs first. There is ice cream in the refrigerator, you can go and have it. I have something to do."
Benjamin was excited as soon as he heard that there was ice cream.
After taking the key given by Jocelyn, he cheerily went upstairs.
Jocelyn took a deep breath and walked towards the black Bentley.
A man was sitting in the back seat of the black Bentley. From Jocelyn's point of view, she could only see his side profile.
His nose was tall and chiselled, and his icy cold lips were defined.
After a while, the door opened and someone got off from the car.
