Chapter 796 Move Your Things Back âNice!â Ethen, Jack, and Edwin were full of praise. âWhat do you think?â Benjamin turned to Arissa and asked for her opinion. Everyone smilingly turned to Arissa and saw her giving him a big thumbs up, saying, âVery nice!â
All those present, including the six kids, laughed. Benjamin stepped away to take a better look, then nodded and gave a satisfied grunt. âOkay, time for your shower, my sweethearts!â Arissa clapped her hands to summon the kids for their showers.
âCome on, boys. Letâs go shower!â Edwin gathered the boys and brought them upstairs. âWhy donât you also take a shower?â 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, âMove your things back.â 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?
Arissa 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, âMrs. Graham, Mr. Graham told me to move your things back to the master bedroom.â
âHuh?â Arissa was still undecided. Edwin smiled and added, âIâm going to move them now, Mrs. Graham.â He walked off as he was saying that, not wanting to give her a chance to object.
Looks like itâs a wasted effort on my part. Arissa rubbed her head in resignation, then headed to the kidsâ 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.
âI never thought you would be so bold as to bully Gavin, Susanna! As an elder, how could you say such things to a kid?â 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.
âWhat did I say, Dad? Someone must be trying to deceive you! Iâve not met Gavin for a long while, so how is that possible?â
âThatâs right, Dad. Weâve not seen Gavin for more than half a year!â Bryan chimed in as he looked puzzledly at Darius.
âIt 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,â Darius said.

A look of guilt flashed past Susannaâs eyes, for she had indeed said that.
Bryan turned and glared at her as well, asking, âDid you really say that?â
âI didnât, Dad! Donât take his word for it! It has been such a long time, so Gavin must have gotten it wrong.â 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.
âDo you think Iâm not aware of what you did to Benjamin? Donât you think youâve crossed the line by abusing such a young kid?â Darius continued to roar at Bryan and Susanna, who were trembling with fear.
âI really had no idea she did that, Dad! Please forgive her. Sheâs just an ignorant woman with a loose tongue,â Bryan pleaded. Turning to glare at Susanna, he demanded, âApologize to Dad now!â
Susannaâs expression fell as she could tell Darius was not about to let the matter rest. She timidly said, âIâm sorry, Dad. I shouldnât have nagged at Gavin. Iâll be more mindful in the future.â
Darius could tell his son and daughter-in-law were not sincere. His face was grim when he said, âYou should be apologizing to Gavin, not me!â
With his harsh, piercing gaze on Susanna, he continued, âI 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 guyâs 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...â
âIâm warning you, Bryan. Stop your nonsense, or Iâll personally teach you a lesson. Only an animal would harm its own family!â Darius fumed at Bryan.
Bryan and Susanna were rooted in fear, and all colors drained from their face.
