Chapter 139 I Assumed You Abandoned Me

Back then, Arissa slept with Benjamin errantly after an elaborate set-up. However, she did not want to go into detail with Gavin that day.

So, she lowered her body and held on to Gavin’s tiny shoulders. In an earnest tone, she explained, “You’re still too young. I’ll explain it to you when you’re older. For now, just know that I love you all.”

With a soft touch, Arissa gently caressed Gavin’s cheek.

He smiled coyly in return and said, “Now, I know. Before this, I assumed you abandoned me.”

Instantly, a sharp pain tore through Arissa’s heart. Guilt-ridden, she pulled Gavin into an embrace right away and comforted him, “It’s all my fault. I failed to protect you!” Arissa knew if she had been more careful, Danna would have had no chance to nab him.

“Mommy, I don’t blame you at all. The baddies were just too evil!” uttered Gavin, who had his brows tightly knit in a bunch. When he had a look of hostility swept across his face, one could clearly see that Gavin took after Benjamin indeed.

Arissa knew Danna would not let her off so easily. The latter was even mean to Jasper.

Overwhelmed by emotions, she drew a deep breath. In a bittersweet tone, she muttered, “Thank you, Sweetheart.”

After kissing Gavin on his cheek, she felt a warm assurance as he stroked her hair consolingly.

“Mommy, I didn’t know that vicious woman was not my real mommy before. I only know she doesn’t love me. In fact, it’s a relief to know that she isn’t my real mommy!” blurted Gavin.

Arissa’s heart was in turmoil once again, as she saw how sensible Gavin was. This was despite the fact that he was deprived of motherly love from such a young age.
