Chapter 796 Move Your Things Back
“Nice!” Ethen, Jack, and Edwin were full of praise. “What do you think?” Benjamin turned to Arissa and asked for
her opinion. Everyone smilingly turned to Arissa and saw her giving him a big thumbs up, saying, “Very nice!”
All those present, including the six kids, laughed. Benjamin stepped away to take a better look, then nodded and
gave a satisfied grunt. “Okay, time for your shower, my sweethearts!” Arissa clapped her hands to summon the
kids for their showers.
“Come on, boys. Let’s go shower!” Edwin gathered the boys and brought them upstairs. “Why don’t you also take a
shower?” Benjamin told Arissa before signaling Ethen and Jack to head to the study with a dart of his eyes.
He started walking toward the study, but suddenly, he turned to Arissa again and said, “Move your things
back.” Arissa blinked her eyes and shot Benjamin a puzzled look. However, she did not pursue the matter as she
saw he had gone into the study with Ethen and Jack.
Move my things back?
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtArissa was hesitant about moving her things back to his room, wondering if he was putting on a show or serious
about it. When she reached the top of the stairs, Edwin came up to her and said, “Mrs. Graham, Mr. Graham told
me to move your things back to the master bedroom.”
“Huh?” Arissa was still undecided. Edwin smiled and added, “I’m going to move them now, Mrs. Graham.” He
walked off as he was saying that, not wanting to give her a chance to object.
Looks like it’s a wasted effort on my part. Arissa rubbed her head in resignation, then headed to the kids’ room to
check on them.
Back at the Old Manor, Darius had a terrifying look on his face as he glared at Bryan and Susanna.
“I never thought you would be so bold as to bully Gavin, Susanna! As an elder, how could you say such things to a
kid?” he hollered while slamming a hand onto the side table, scaring the life out of Bryan and Susanna.
Susanna frowned in annoyance and defended herself.
“What did I say, Dad? Someone must be trying to deceive you! I’ve not met Gavin for a long while, so how is that
possible?”
“That’s right, Dad. We’ve not seen Gavin for more than half a year!” Bryan chimed in as he looked puzzledly at
Darius.
“It was when you were here last year. I would have never known you did such a shameful thing behind my back if
Gavin had not recently confided in us,” Darius said.
He gave Susanna a stern glare and growled, “Did you or did you not say he’s a nuisance and not welcomed in the
family?”
A look of guilt flashed past Susanna’s eyes, for she had indeed said that.
Bryan turned and glared at her as well, asking, “Did you really say that?”
“I didn’t, Dad! Don’t take his word for it! It has been such a long time, so Gavin must have gotten it wrong.”
Susanna decided to deny it.
Darius grabbed a cup and hurled it toward her. The cup landed near her foot and shattered into pieces, startling
both Bryan and her.
“Do you think I’m not aware of what you did to Benjamin? Don’t you think you’ve crossed the line by abusing such a

“I really had no idea she did that, Dad! Please forgive her. She’s just an ignorant woman with a loose tongue,”
Bryan pleaded. Turning to glare at Susanna, he demanded, “Apologize to Dad now!”
Susanna’s expression fell as she could tell Darius was not about to let the matter rest. She timidly said, “I’m sorry,
Dad. I shouldn’t have nagged at Gavin. I’ll be more mindful in the future.”
Darius could tell his son and daughter-in-law were not sincere. His face was grim when he said, “You should be
apologizing to Gavin, not me!”
With his harsh, piercing gaze on Susanna, he continued, “I was wondering why Gavin started kicking up a fuss
whenever he was about to come here after that day. We got so worried, thinking the little guy’s condition had
deteriorated. We would never have imagined it was because you actually bullied him! My poor boy shut himself up
and refused to utter a word for days! He must be so hurt…”
“I’m warning you, Bryan. Stop your nonsense, or I’ll personally teach you a lesson. Only an animal would harm its
own family!” Darius fumed at Bryan.
Bryan and Susanna were rooted in fear, and all colors drained from their face.
