Chapter 290: The fight for the child
Cecilia Glendon knew when she met Jamie Hall in Greenwich that she was not far from meeting Benson senior.
I just didn’t expect Benson senior to come to August City specifically to see her.
It was an early morning, she was up late because she had stayed up late at night to catch up on her work, so she hurriedly drove to the studio with Steven Glendon, parked the car downstairs, and was just leading Steven Glendon inside when a car suddenly stopped directly in front of her.
Cecilia Glendon subconsciously held Steven Glendon’s hand tightly, fearing that he would walk up and be hit by the car, and after returning to her senses, she frowned again with some displeasure at the car.
When she was cursing the driver’s ability to drive, the window of the rear compartment was suddenly lowered and Cecilia Glendon saw a face that was both familiar and unfamiliar.
Say familiar, because that Taylor face had appeared in her dreams countless times, of course, are nightmares.
It is strange to say that because five years have passed, he seems to have aged a bit more.
Just as Cecilia Glendon looked at him in awe, he said faintly, “Get in.”
The familiar accent brought Cecilia Glendon back quickly, and she pursed her lips, holding Steven Glendon’s hand tighter.
She knew she couldn’t refuse, and having refused this one, Benson senior had countless opportunities as well.
So Cecilia Glendon could only walk up, open the car door and sit in it herself before leading Steven Glendon to sit up.
After the car restarted, Cecilia Glendon noticed that Benson senior’s eyes fell on Steven Glendon’s face.
In his eyes was undisguised joy that Steven Glendon was in his Benson family bloodline.
Perhaps one of the best things Cecilia Glendon did, in Benson senior’s opinion, was to give birth to Abbott Benson’s child.
“Come here.” Elder Benson suddenly held out his hand to Steven Glendon, “Let Grandpa give you a hug.”Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
The carriage was not spacious, but it was by no means cramped either, and Steven Glendon could have walked over to Benson senior just by standing up.
But the old man’s hand was in the air for a while, and Steven Glendon didn’t move.
The old man wrinkled his brow in some displeasure: “Cecilia Glendon.”
He saw clearly, Cecilia Glendon will Steven Glendon’s hand held very tight, she did not say, but her actions have shown that do not want the child to contact with Benson senior.
“Steven is my son and has nothing to do with the Benson’s.” Cecilia Glendon finally reacted, she turned her head and said with a very calm face.
“He is my great-grandson!” Benson senior’s voice was a little hoarse, not deliberately pressed, but because the older he got, the more his throat seemed to rust and dull.
And Cecilia Glendon couldn’t help but laugh when she heard the words of Master Benson, a smile that was tinged with sarcasm and not hidden: “Master, where did you get that from? You were the one who didn’t let me be with Abbott Benson in the first place, and now that I have a child you want to come and claim my family, wouldn’t you be a little too ridiculous?”
When has Master Benson ever been insulted like this, his face turned red: “How dare you! Who gave you permission to talk to me like that!”
Cecilia Glendon went as if she did not feel his anger, continued: “Abbott Benson is now married to Jamie Hall, if you want to hold great-grandchildren, go to press them two couples, so that pulling a random child in the street and say it is their great-grandchildren, is not a wise decision. ”
Cecilia Glendon had already thought about it before she met with Benson senior, and since it didn’t work five years ago, she didn’t want to use it five years later.
Benson senior is a soft touch, and since that’s the case, there’s no need for her to push her posture too low.
“You think I’m old and you want to fool me?” Elder Benson sneered twice, “The results of the child’s paternity test are out, you can’t hide it from me, he is Abbott’s son!”
Cecilia Glendon frowned hard, did not expect Benson old man even secretly to do the paternity test, no wonder he came to August City.
“So what if Steven is Abbott Benson’s child?” Cecilia Glendon gritted her teeth, “You were the one who forced me to leave in the first place.”
Cecilia Glendon still has not forgotten when she was forced to leave, why … why he had to call on her to go away?
“You’ve been hiding abroad for five years with my Benson family’s flesh and blood, and I’m still not done with you! If you’re smart enough, you’d better give me the baby now. As long as you give me the child, no matter how much money, I will pay.”
Benson senior did not care about Steven Glendon sitting on the side, perhaps in his view, Steven Glendon is still a child, even they do not understand what they are saying, so do not have to avoid.
Just …
“I won’t go with you.” Steven Glendon’s voice suddenly sounded with a faint coolness, while those big dark eyes looked at Benson senior.
Steven Glendon’s eyes look especially like Cecilia Glendon’s, and whenever those eyes looked at Benson senior, his heart was disgusted for no reason.
Perhaps it is because the owner of the eyes is too stubborn and never gives a damn about his words.
“It’s not up to you to follow me or not.” Benson senior suddenly sneered.
He originally just wanted to bring the child back, it was the blood of his Benson family and he would not let him stray.
But at this moment, he suddenly changed his mind.
Steven Glendon is half Cecilia Glendon’s blood, but he’s smart.
Let Benson senior from his body to see the former Abbott Benson as a child.
“It won’t be your decision to go with you or not.” Cecilia Glendon said forcefully.
“Yeah well.” The Benson senior snorted, “If you don’t listen to good advice, I’ll see you in court. The paternity test has proven that he is our Benson child, Cecilia Glendon, you didn’t think the judge would award the child to you, a single woman, did you?”
Steven Glendon is only four years old and his words will not be considered by the judge.
And the first thing the judge has to take into account when deciding who to award the child to is the family situation of both parties.
Abbott Benson and Jamie Hall have been married for many years without children, but they are a complete family.
But Cecilia Glendon, she is a single woman, and that alone is enough to disqualify her from arguing in court.
Cecilia Glendon’s heart couldn’t help but shake at the thought, and if it weren’t for Steven Glendon’s tight grip on her hand, she thought her own hands would start to shake.
Her white face fell in the eyes of Benson senior, he smiled smugly.
“Go back and think about it, I’ll give you two days. After two days, give me the child and we won’t have to go to court.”
“I’m not giving Steven to you.” Although powerless, Cecilia Glendon said it with determination.
She opened the door and led Steven Glendon out of the car, her chest heaving together, her breathing heavy.
The windows went up again and then the car drove away before their eyes.
Steven Glendon felt Cecilia Glendon’s hands growing cold. He looked up at Cecilia Glendon and said, “Mom, don’t worry, I won’t leave your side.”
