Baby Cupid: Could You Be My New Mommy (or Miss, My Father loves you)

Chapter 14 Don't Test My Patience

Daryl hesitated, but Zack thought she was going to refuse. His face turned pale and his features were tense. He gripped her waist so hard, Daryl was afraid she might get crushed. 'Til give you one night to think about it!" Zack's voice was so cold Daryl felt the chill to her bones.

Daryl hit him hard on his chest, struggling to get out of his grip.

"Let go of me!"

"Don't test my patience. Bennie likes you. Don't let that go to waste and seize the opportunity!" Zack gritted his teeth. Seeing how flustered she was becoming, he released her. No woman in her right mind would react like this after hearing his proposal.

Women would pounce on any opportunity to be with him, but not Daryl. That one avoided him as if he was a poisonous snake or a scorpion. She defied him any chance she could. She was very stubborn and tried so hard to pretend to be strong, Zack thought it was stupid! Zack let her go. He then turned around and strode away.

As soon as he was out of the kitchen, Zack pulled off the tie from his chest. From it, he caught the faint scent of the woman. His breath hitched and whatever anger there was inside of him immediately got replaced with sadness. As soon as Benjamin finished taking a shower, he rushed downstairs.

Seeing his dad's dark face, Benjamin couldn't help but swallow and asked, "Daddy, did you have a fight with Mommy?"

'Why is he angry again?

How is Mommy?'

Benjamin tried to look around for Daryl, but he was picked up by Zack.

"Just watch TV!"

Zack's face darkened and his tone was full of warning.

Benjamin wouldn't want to get in trouble again. He just sat on the sofa with Zack. As loud as he could, he shouted, "Mommy, are you okay?"

Daryl responded after a while.

"I'm fine. Bennie, don't worry. Dinner will be ready in ten minutes, okay?"
