Chapter 422 Sneak Attack
<i>Mommy </i><i>is </i>really <i>having </i>a <i>hard </i><i>time</i>. <i>She </i><i>can </i><i>barely </i><i>take </i><i>care </i><i>of </i><i>herself</i><i>, </i><i>and </i><i>now </i>she has to <i>promise </i>Daddy she’ll look <i>after </i>me. <i>She </i><i>should </i><i>get </i><i>some </i><i>credit</i>.
Benjamin’s little brain seemed to be plotting something. Suddenly, he wriggled free from Dawn’s arms and ran with his short little legs straight to his target.
He grabbed onto the man’s leg.
“Daddy!”
That word was clear, crisp, andnded with weight.
Ethan’s pupils contracted, his expression unreadablyplex.
Dawn didn’t say anything either. She wasn’t particrly surprised, but she gained a newfound respect for this little one’s understanding.
After a while, Ethan lowered his gaze, his dark eyes pouring down.
In a hoarse voice, he asked, “What did you call me?”
Benjamin blinked. “Daddy.”
Ethan felt a storm raging inside him. To make matters worse, that woman hadn’t reacted at all, still secretly exchanging nces with Benjamin as if delighted by the situation.
Dawn cleared her throat theatrically, hands behind her back as she walked over.
“Well, Benjamin is still little. Ethan, you wouldn’t treat him the same as an adult, right?”
Ethan’s gaze
fixed on her face. “No, but I won’t say the same to the guardian.”
Dawn pressed her lips together.
Might as well read out her full government name.
She pursed her lips, met Benjamin’s eyes, and suddenly, some unspoken agreement was reached.
“Ethan, you might not know, but Benjamin isn’t like other kids. He’s very picky; if the taste isn’t quite right, he won’t eat it. Otherwise…”
Dawn raised her bright eyes. “Youe home every day to eat, so you should let him have a little bit with you. He won’t eat much.”
Benjamin shook his head from below.
“Daddy, I can’t eat much.”
Ethan’s scalp tingled; he ground his teeth. “You have your own dad. Don’t call me that!”

“Oh, okay, Daddy.”
Ethan rolled his eyes.

Three–year–olds tend to have certain privileges. When they misbehave or misname someone, adults don’t get annoyed correcting them, as correction often doesn’t work.
But Benjamin truly liked Ethan. From the moment he returned, Benjamin hung onto his leg and refused to let go.
Even going upstairs, Ethan had to lift him step by step.
Dawn, having spent the day with the child, was exhausted and didn’t even want to move.
Finally able to breathe, she copsed on the couch and nked out for a moment.
Thinking about what was happening just now, she even felt a little amused.
She took a deep breath and went upstairs.
What awaited her was unexpected.
Ethan had fully epted Benjamin and was even giving him a bath.
She intentionally tiptoed closer to the bathroom, catching the conversation inside.
“Daddy, I got water in my eyes. Can you wipe them for me?”
Ethan patiently used a towel to wipe the water from his face.
“Don’t call me Daddy!”
“Oh.”
Benjamin paused for just a second. “You don’t want to be
my daddy?”
Ethan couldn’t helpughing angrily. His tongue brushed over his teeth, and he didn’t even understand why he was holding back all this anger while bathing Dawn’s and another person’s child!
Benjamin, seeing him remain silent, tilted his head, clearly puzzled.
“Sir, you really don’t want to be my daddy?” the little guy asked

Ethan’s breath caught; his expression turned extremely dark.
Or are you worried you won’t get a turn?”
Dawn lightly cleared her throat. She worried that if she didn’t appear now, Ethan would kill the little boy.
“Um…” She smiled sweetly, trying to appease him. “It’s one thing to have you cook for us, but now I’m troubling you to help bathe Benjamin, too. I really feel bad about it.”

Dawn sneaked a nce at him, murmuring softly, “How can you talk like that? Besides, Benjamin’s so cute, giving him a bath is kind of healing too.”
Benjamin yed with the bubbles, his gaze flitting between the two adults.
He scooped up a handful of bubbles and tossed them at Dawn.
“Ha!”
Dawn froze for a moment, then retaliated immediately. “You little brat! How dare you throw water at me? Just wait, I’ll get you today!”
The two of them, one big, one small, started ying like this. Ethan’s gaze epassed the two figures before him as he stepped back half a pace.
“Mommy! Dawn! Ah!”
Benjamin’sbat skills werecking. Soon, he could only dodge, his chubby little hands constantly covering his face.
Dawn kept control but didn’t stop moving her hands.
“Still trying to sneak attack me?”
“No, no!”
Benjaminughed, his babyish voice irresistibly infectious.
Dawn finally let go when she felt it was enough. But in the next second, the little rascal scooped up more water. With tiny fingers spread, he couldn’t even hold it.
