In hindsight, everything was as Dennis had predicted, the Vance family had no small role to play.
A moment later, Benjamin ignored Edward, who was still on the ground, and turned his face to look at us, his face calm with a smile, “Let’s go, to the next place.”
After saying that, he swept past Edward and lifted his feet towards the door, moving slowly and methodically, as if nothing had happened, which was inexplicably disturbing.
Dennis stared at his back for a silent moment before leading me to follow.
“Bang…”
“Benjamin, you’re going to regret this!”
The next second I walked out of the room, the sound of glass breaking behind me, scared me shivered violently, vainly looked at the hidden mechanical door, have a bad feeling.
“No harm done.” Benjamin’s voice brought me back to reality. Turning his face, he still had the honest look of a decent man, smiling and laughing, “It’s just a small, insignificant person, I’ll take care of it, so don’t bother your brother and sister-in-law.”
Ding–
The elevator door opened at this time, Benjamin took the lead to walk in, the moment the four eyes met, a chill rose in the heart, the feet will not move.
Dennis’s broad palm patted my back and whispered down to reassure me, “Don’t be afraid, with Benjamin around, everything will be safe.”
I met his deep eyes and looked at Benjamin, who was as mysterious as a ghost in the elevator, and for the first time in my long time on the island, I felt uncertain.
With a child in the uncontrollable sphere of influence of the Vance family and a snake-like Edward behind him, is it really possible to be safe?
“Big brother is right,” Benjamin’s gentle voice rang out again, “sister-in-law, you can trust me completely.”
With clear eyes, delicate voice and pretty innocent skin, I would have been convinced by this simple look if I hadn’t just seen with my own eyes how unbeatable Edward was in front of him.
Dennis’s hand on my shoulder increased in strength, reminding me not to show my hand.
I then reluctantly pulled the corner of my mouth and smiled in response, “Then I’ll trouble Benjamin.”
Nods were exchanged before Dennis helped me walk in and follow the Vance family’s plans to continue visiting the rest of the research program.
Because just a little friction, both sides seem a little distracted, there is a hitch and then a half point of shopping, then each find a reason to disperse.
I was worried about the baby and went straight back to the castle with Dennis.
Before you get to the door of the nursery, you can hear someone arguing inside from a distance, the sound is not too noisy, you can hear it very clearly.
“I’m sorry, Mrs. George and Mr. said that no one else is allowed near the young master and young lady except our own baby sitter that we brought.”
“No, you are not clear about the situation, I am a baby nurse with a world-class baby care certificate, is the Vance family exclusive child care sage, leave it to me, will be more professional, the child will soon be one year old, it is time to do professional testing and planning, believe me, no one here will hurt the baby.”
“No, it’s not necessary, we’ll take care of it, please get out now.”
It looks like Toby and Edgar arranged for the baby sitter to clash, both sides are fighting in English, but the scene is still very calm and controlled.
I paused for a second at the door, trying to figure out how to defuse Edgar’s “good intentions”, when Dennis pushed the door open and walked in.
“Get out.” The voice is a bit hoarse, but does not at all hinder the majesty emanating from the eyes and limbs, Dennis opened his mouth, the whole bedroom instantly quiet.
Edgar hired a baby sitter is an American woman, body shape and appearance are top, although the skin is well maintained, but the old look in the eyes still reveals the age, obviously dark-skinned features, but it is dyed blond hair with turquoise pupils, looks like a white look.
The woman also seems to have seen the world, and faced with Dennis’ shock, she was only surprised for a second before adjusting her mind again and trying to continue the negotiation.
She waved both hands, while making a gesture, while approaching us, her mouth continued to read in standard English, “Sir, you must be clear, Mr. Vance is completely for the sake of the two children, as the Vance family’s future heirs, from childhood to receive systematic training, so that the future in the face of many problems, to be able to be at ease, I think You also do not want the child does not match the virtue, and finally become a loser …”
Dennis was indifferent to this and impatiently switched language mode, “Speak English.”
The blonde woman froze, didn’t respond for a moment, and continued to ask in English, “I’m sorry, I didn’t understand what you meant …”
Dennis didn’t give her a chance to finish, “How can you teach my Dennis’s children if you can’t even tell what nationality you are? You have three seconds to get out of my sight.”
“You–” the blonde was angry, opened her mouth to argue, but Toby has changed his face, cold eyes to stop in front of Dennis, unsmiling gesture of sending off, “This way please. ”
The blonde woman rolled her eyes indignantly when she saw that the crowd was not treating her well before she left again with a red face.
The room quieted down, Dennis then calmly walked up to check on the children, see Snowy and Jamie nothing unusual, the face of this soothing some expression.
“You guys go out first.” After considering for a while, it was decided to talk to Dennis alone.
Toby and the baby sitter, who had been with us for so long, were very observant and closed the door by the way after exiting.
The sound of the door closing, I leaned over and half squatted down by Snowy’s crib, reaching out to gently fiddle with her fleshy little hand, the panic in my heart growing stronger, so I felt it, “Dennis, do you think this is really worth it?”
Dennis glanced at me, seeming to see through my concerns, and said calmly, “It’s not worth it, a family should be neat and tidy.”
I understand what he means, the lack of me, the family will not be a family, so the risk is worth it.
“But it’s only the second day and my heart is about to be taken over by an unknown fear, I’m afraid something will happen, although I know the Vance family won’t hurt the baby, but what if …”
In case Edward would rather be broken than hurt any of us, who should the child be given to, and the Vance family raised to be selfish, cold-blooded monsters?
And Benjamin, that kind of deep cover, and what is playing the game.
When I thought of this, I was a little lost in thought, not noticing the reaction of the people around me, until Dennis circled me from behind, the familiar body heat and perfume smell came, I came back to my senses, ear, is his low soothing.
“It won’t be long to wait, my men are ashore, you, the child, and the antidote, I will bring them back safely, don’t forget, Clarie is still waiting for us at home, be strong.”
I subconsciously looked at the child in front of me and my eyes immediately became soft.
Yeah, Diana left before me and left Clarie, and I can’t leave her again, much less Snowy and Jamie without a mother.
Holding the hand at my waist, I pursed my lips firmly, “Good.”
Perhaps from the day I fell in love with Dennis, there was no turning back.
