Chapter 42 You Scolded Me

Meanwhile at the Graham residence, Jasper was in the living room, sitting cross-legged on the carpet.

All sorts of snacks filled the table.

Jasper was watching animations while he munched on the snacks.

The trashcan at the side was almost full of garbage.

Edwin was worried as he saw Jasper shoving down the snacks non-stop. His appetite was shocking.

Is Gavin acting strange because of Ms. Adams?

Jasper had no idea that Edwin was worried. He turned toward Edwin with sparkly eyes. “Mr. Whitley, do

you have ice cream?”

Edwin blinked. He wants ice cream now?

Edwin was nonplussed. “Gavin, are you still hungry? You should eat slowly. Don’t get overly full.”

Jasper had started eating ever since he woke up from his nap but refused to eat any of Edwin’s cooking.

Jasper was acting all cute in front of Edwin requesting snacks. There was nothing Edwin could do other

than ask someone to buy him snacks.

“Yes! I’m still not full yet.” Jasper tapped on his belly.

“I can still eat a lot! Mr. Whitley, do you have ice cream?”

Seeing Jasper’s cute look, Edwin had no choice. He then went to the refrigerator to get him some ice

cream.

Jasper was over the moon.

Benjamin came back and saw how Jasper was eating snacks non-stop in front of the television.

Jasper was fully immersed in the show while he stared at the television with the volume at high.

Seeing the mess, Benjamin furrowed his brows and asked, “Where is Edwin?”

“Mr. Whitley went to get me ice cream,” Jasper replied without realizing it was Benjamin.

He continued staring at the screen and munching on his chips as the show was reaching its climax.

After a while, Jasper felt that something was off and turned his head.

It gave him a shock to realize that Benjamin was staring back at him.

“Daddy, you’re back.”

“Edwin!” Benjamin shouted with a darkened gaze.

Jasper could see that Benjamin was furious. He looked down and stayed still in fear.

Am I not allowed to eat here?

Edwin heard Benjamin’s voice and came over immediately. His hands were still holding Jasper’s ice

cream.

Benjamin saw him and frowned in anger.

“Edwin, are you feeding him all this junk food every day?”

“Mr. Graham, I…”

Cold sweat trickled down his forehead as he lowered his head and admitted, “It’s only today. Gavin felt

like eating snacks, so I got someone to buy for him.”

Benjamin was stunned as he said angrily, “He felt like it, so you let him eat that much?”

The huge amount of plastic packaging was all empty. Not even an adult could finish that much food.

A child would not be able to eat dinner after all the junk food. It was too unhealthy.

Benjamin was enraged.

Jasper saw how Benjamin raised his voice at Edwin and felt bad for him.

Even though he was also afraid of Benjamin, Jasper ran over and stood in front of Edwin as if to protect

him.

He lifted his head and fixed his gaze at Benjamin. His voice was shivering, but he stayed courageous

and spoke for Edwin.

“Do not be angry with Mr. Whitley. I was the one who wanted to eat. I was hungry and I only wanted

snacks. I’ve never had the chance to eat these snacks. Can’t I eat them once?”

So Benjamin is that strict. Gavin was never allowed to eat snacks. Poor boy.

Benjamin lifted one of his brows and eyed the boy.

With a cold tone, he said, “You felt like eating snacks, so you ate all those at one go? Do you still want

dinner? These snacks are full of preservatives. It’s very bad for your health. You don’t know because

you’re young. But, doesn’t he know that as an adult?”

Benjamin gave Edwin a cold glare. “Are you still going to give him that ice cream? If he’s hungry, make

him a proper meal!”

“Understood, Mr. Graham.” Edwin lowered his head.

“Go stand in the study!” Benjamin stared at his son.

Jasper widened his eyes. Forget about Daddy being angry, but I’m being punished now?

“I didn’t do anything wrong! You scolded me just because I ate some snacks. You even scolded Mr.

Whitley for it. And now you want to punish me. I hate you!”

Jasper’s eyes were red. Even his mother had never scolded him like that.

He gave Benjamin a glare and ran upstairs. It seemed like he felt wronged.

He wanted to go back to his mother.
