28 Unhappy Ben 2 (1/2)

” I think she is lovely and I would be happy if she marries Adrian or Jayden.”

Finn's words rendered Vincent and Sam speechless for a few seconds. Finn always considered many factors in the matters pertaining to marriage, the exception being social status and money placing much importance on character. Finn always believed that it was the character that mattered the most. Money can be earned , but character cannot be earned even if you spent millions. It has to come from within.

For this man to make such statements only meant that he was truly impressed by her. Now that he finds her good, he is claiming her for his family. Such a shameless man! Vincent and Sam gritted their teeth at Finn, while the latter simply ignored them with a smug smile on his face.

” What? I like the girl, but my sons should be able to woo her. And, I don't want to force love upon them. I only feel that it would be good if they somehow meet and fall in love.” Finn sighed while playing with the fork in his hands.

” Which one of your sons do you think suits her?” Vincent asked. He knew that with Adrian and Jayden in the race, his brat or Sam's son won't stand a chance. He was clever and adapted to the situation soon.

” Jayden, he is mature and sensible.”

Vincent saw the young man before and he couldn't agree more as the kid was both handsome and responsible. Finn had a bright smile on his face when he spoke about Jayden as the other two listened.

But, there was one person who did not find their conversation amusing.

He was Ben. His table was close to the place where the loud and boisterous old men were sitting.

He had been eavesdropping at them from the start. He knew it was wrong and that elders would call him a bad boy. But, he couldn't help it as these so called elders are thinking about poaching his sis ah!

How dare they think about marrying her off to their nameless sons! Even, his uncle was put on a waiting list by him. From where exactly did these guys suddenly pop up?

Should he call his uncle? No, he can't risk his Sis Bella's safety by calling his uncle here. But, these scheming old men were still discussing about her.

The soft bun was in a dilemma!

' No! No! They were just a bunch of old men and they forget things easily.'

After debating within himself, he quickly concluded to be patient. His sis did not say yes, so why should he be anxious?

So, the little one started eating his chocolate chip pancakes albeit with his ears still perked up, the little one could not risk to miss any of the further talks between those scheming old men.

Vincent, Sam and Finn talked about their work and the way of conversation slowly drifted to their domineering wives, completely forgetting about Isabella much to the little guy's relief. Now, he was completely relaxed and ignored the old men. He was after all, a five year old kid and he started to enjoy the bliss of the pancakes.

” Mr. Finn, here's your bill.” After handing him the bill, Isabella finally sat opposite of Benwho was now sulking. His tiny red lips were twisted into a pout making his little cute face look even cuter. His chubby fingers played with the fork and his cheeks were puffed up, to be precise his entire demeanor gave the impression of an abandoned puppy.

Isabella coughed lightly to hide the amusement on her face. She did not want to make the boy sad now and it was partly her fault to leave this cute bear alone today.

Alas! It was too painful to see the frown on this cute bear's face ah!

” Ben...” Isabella whined pitifully and she was sure that his heart will melt before her charms.
