Pretending To Be Pitiful
Anna was a bit worried because Nicole had been inside the room for quite some time. When she saw
that Nicole was out, Anna asked worriedly, “Is Colton all right? Why hasn’t he left the room?”
Nicole looked at Anna’s worried expression and comforted her, “President Gardner is indeed feeling a
little uncomfortable. I went to check on him, and there was nothing serious. He just needs to take some
rest.”
When Anna heard that her son was all right, the worry on her face slowly dissipated. But then, she
could not help but complain, “My son works way too hard. Sooner or later, his body will take a turn for
the worse. Nicole, you must advise him to take good care of himself.”
Nicole merely smiled but did not respond. The truth was, she did not want to see Colton after seeing
that indescribable thing in his room, and her whole body felt as if it was on fire whenever she thought
about it.
In the meantime, Hayden was accompanying Benedict. Hayden had a sweet mouth and could make
Benedict laugh. Not only the Gardner Family had colossal wealth, but Benedict was also the man with
the highest seniority in the Family, so many people came to his birthday party just to curry favor with
him. So, when they saw the harmonious relationship between Benedict and Hayden, they could not
help but guess. “Old Mr. Benedict, is this kid your great-grandson?”
Someone in the crowd asked, and suddenly all gazes fell on Hayden, scrutinizing him.
Without waiting for Benedict’s reply, another person responded, “Well, look at this kid. He looks quite
similar to President Gardner. The last time we attended Miss Gardner’s birthday, Mrs. Gardner
mentioned that she had a grandson. Remember?”
“I see, so this child is really President Gardner’s?”
“But… President Gardner was in a relationship with Queenie, and this child looks like he’s already four
or five years old. Could it be that…”
Just when everyone was gossiping, Hayden heard the gossip and became unhappy, so he yelled,
“Don’t talk nonsense!” When Benedict saw Hayden’s annoyed look, he tried to smooth things over by
smiling at the crowd and saying, “This child is my goddaughter’s son. And yes, he’s cute, but if you
keep talking nonsense, he will start throwing tantrums.”
Benedict’s words instantly dispelled their baseless thoughts. After all, the old man was so old that he
had no reason to lie to them.
“Great Grandpa, these people look like those bad guys.” Since he was a child, he knew that no one
could make a huge fuss about what he would say. Therefore, he exploited his identity as an ‘innocent’
child while pouting before speaking, “You know, those eunuchs we see on TV; they’re always trying to
flatter people.” At once, the crowds’ expressions changed.
Well, it was true that they came to the party to curry favor with the Gardner Family, but this
phenomenon was quite normal in the upper class. Now that a child compared them to eunuchs, they
could no longer maintain the peaceful facade. Still, due to the presence of Old Mr. Benedict, they dared
not say anything, so they kept their mouths shut but glared ferociously at Hayden.
Little did they know that Hayden was not a meek child. When he saw someone glaring at him, he
immediately hugged Benedict with a feigned pitiful look. “Great Grandpa, they are all staring at me. I’m
so afraid… Did I say something wrong?”
Benedict treated Hayden like his own great-grandson, and as he looked at Hayden’s aggrieved face,
he immediately became upset. He frowned unhappily before berating them, “Can’t you see that he’s
just a child? One can’t take a child’s words to heart, but here you are, making such a fuss!”
The guests knew that Old Mr. Benedict was furious and hurriedly apologized, “No, no, You
misunderstood us, Old Mr. Benedict. We would never fuss about a child’s words, not to mention that he
is such a cute kid.” When Hayden heard the man’s words, he immediately threw a provocative yet
triumphant smile at the sycophantic man.
