“But didn’t we hear that the adopted daughter who made them go crazy didn’t even end up marrying into the Carter family? She didn’t even keep her identity as the adopted daughter in the end?”
Who knows what they were thinking? They forced the first wife out to be with that person, only to push that person away once they got what they wanted?”
Seeing each other face to face for the first time in a long time, Thuan Isabella finally felt the passage of
time. It was clear now. Benjamin had grown so much.
William noticed her distracted gaze and squeezed her hand, moving from across the table to sit next to her. He casually wrapped his arm around her shoulder and pulled her closer. His possessiveness was
evident in his actions.
Looking up again, his eyes held a provocative gleam.
Thuan Isabella didn’t stop him. Instead, she withdrew her gaze from Benjamin and obediently leaned
toward William.
With just this small gesture, Benjamin’s eyes immediately turned red.
He pouted, his eyes filled with grievance.
“Mom, do you really not want me anymore? Why haven’t you come to see me all these years?”
He sounded pitiful and helpless, making those around them take notice of the scene.
Alexander noticed the stares and quickly stepped into the room with Benjamin, shutting the door behind
them to block the curious gazes.
As Benjamin rushed toward Thuan Isabella, William quickly blocked him.
“Hey, hey, hey, don’t make a scene. Just talk, don’t get physical.”
“She’s my mom. Why can’t I get close to her?” Benjamin glared at him angrily, his voice firm with a sense of justification.
After learning Thuan Isabella’s whereabouts, he had rushed all the way to Toronto, fearing that if he was
too slow, he might lose her again.
Having been with Alexander for five years, Benjamin had learned a lot. He had mastered the art of hiding his true feelings and pretending, deceiving Alexander while secretly boarding a private plane to Toronto.
Benjamin had imagined many scenarios for their reunion. He thought Thuan Isabella might regret abandoning him, or that she was still angry but would forgive him if he apologized.
But no.

Thuan Isabella stood there, calmly svolding his approach, and slowly shook her head
I’m not your mom, Benjamin. Did you forget who you chose as your mom?
Benjamin’s face immediately turned pale, and Alexander quickly stepped forward, holding Benjamin as he spoke disapprovingly, “Isabella, I know you have grievances with us, but the child is still young He didn’t understand before and said and did things he shouldn’t have. But isn’t the most important thing for people to realize their mistakes and change? Why say such hurtful things to him?”
Thuan Isabella finally raised her head, looking at him directly for the first time since their reunion.
