Chapter 19 An Agreement

"Why did you suddenly stop?"

Daryl rubbed her nose and complained.

Zack turned around to look at her. He hovered above her slender figure, giving him the upper hand in their conversation. "From now on, I want you to stay out of how I discipline Benjamin." "But..."

Daryl thought for a minute. She just couldn't find it in her heart to let Benjamin have his childhood taken away. After some deep contemplation, she finally gathered her courage to meet his gaze. "He's not a tool that you will just shape however you want to fit in your standard. He might be your successor, but he is still too young. Don't give him unnecessary pressure."

"Mommy is so nice!"

Benjamin eavesdropped on their conversation at the foot of the stairs with Maruko. He was moved by Daryl's words and he wanted to cry. No one cared for him like that.

Dillon said helplessly, "Bennie, let's take Maruko out for a stroll."

If Zack found out that they were eavesdropping on their conversation, both of them would be dead.

"No," Benjamin answered as he clenched his tiny fists. "I have to stay here. What if Daddy is mean to Mommy? Maruko, you have to help me protect her, okay?"

His pet seemed to understand him as it began to shake its tail.

Left with no choice, Dillon sighed heavily and accompanied Benjamin in his little escapade.

Zack bore his dagger look at Daryl. Then he asked in a warning tone, "Are you trying to oppose me?"

A chill ran down Daryl's spine. She fiddled with her fingers and murmured, "I'm not against you. I just have a different opinion."
