Chapter 426 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?”
