Daddy, You Got The Wrong Mommy

Chapter 173: You Should Keep Your Distance from Other Men

Upon hearing Damon Hawke’s question, Evelyn Miles feigned indecision, her eyes dodging slightly.

Damon Hawke frowned slightly and asked again, "What’s wrong? You don’t know, or you can’t say?"

"Well..."

Evelyn Miles hesitated for a moment and then said, "I saw her chatting happily with my brother by the pool earlier, and then somehow she fell into the water. My brother took her away afterward."

Elara Don doesn’t want to leave Sea City, so she’ll ruin her reputation and image.

Damon Hawke is a strong chauvinist; how could he tolerate the woman he likes flirting with another man?

"Your brother? Benjamin Harper? He’s back too?"

Damon Hawke inquired, knowing the relationship between Benjamin Harper and Evelyn Miles.

"Yes, he just returned. No idea if he likes Elly or not, but they seemed to be getting along very well earlier."

Evelyn Miles pretended to be innocent, deliberately slandering the two.

Damon Hawke’s face darkened, and he strode inside.

"Tom, where are you going?"

Evelyn Miles curled her lips into a satisfied smile and quickly followed.

Inside.

In a vacant lounge, Benjamin Harper handed a towel to Elara Don, "Miss Thorne, I apologize on behalf of Samantha."

He had seen Evelyn Miles push Elara Don into the water from the window on the second floor of the club.

This was Evelyn Miles’s fault, and as a part of the Miles family, he had to clean up after her.

Elara Don wiped her wet hair with the towel and glanced at Benjamin Harper.

"I know you, you’re Benjamin Harper. What’s your relationship with Evelyn Miles? Why are you apologizing on her behalf?"

Benjamin Harper was a popular actor, yet Evelyn Miles had just called him a house servant.

What exactly was Benjamin Harper’s relationship with the Miles family?

"My father was the driver for the Miles family. When I was twelve, he had a car accident while driving for the head of the Miles family, Hunter Miles, Evelyn’s father. At the critical moment, he protected Hunter Miles with his body and saved his life."

Benjamin Harper spoke calmly, a trace of pain flashing in his eyes.

After a pause, he steadied his emotions and continued, "Thus, Hunter Miles took me in as a foster son, brought me up, and used his connections to send me into the entertainment industry. Officially, Evelyn Miles should call me brother."

But in Evelyn Miles’s eyes, he was ultimately the son of a servant.

Not fit for the public eye.

If it weren’t for Hunter Miles’s kindness to him, he wouldn’t have agreed to his request to return to the country to watch over Evelyn.

So that’s how it is!

This Benjamin Harper is actually the foster son of the Miles family!

No wonder he would apologize for Evelyn Miles.

Elara Don realized suddenly.

She sized him up, the man before her had a tall figure and handsome features.

The wet white shirt clung to his body, outlining his lean waist with a hint of restrained allure.

His legs were long, a thoroughbred heartthrob who would make countless girls scream.

However, compared to Damon Hawke, she still felt Damon Hawke had more charm.

The mature, domineering masculinity honed in the business world can’t be compared to by ordinary people.

Ahem!

What was she thinking?

Why was she comparing him to Damon Hawke?

Elara Don quickly stopped her thoughts, secretly chastising herself.

At this moment, someone knocked on the door, calling for Brother Ben.

It was probably Benjamin Harper’s assistant bringing clothes.

Benjamin Harper went to open the door, took the two sets of clothes from the assistant, and thanked him.

Then, he closed the door and handed one set of women’s clothing to her.

"Not sure if it’ll fit, Miss Thorne, but make do with it."

"Thank you."

Elara Don thanked him and took the women’s clothing.

Inside, there was a red dress.

The fabric was quite luxurious, clearly pricey.

"What a beautiful dress."

Elara Don touched the dress, genuinely admiring it.

"I’m glad you like it."

Benjamin Harper chuckled, "This was a gift from a business partner, originally meant for Samantha, but it’s stayed in my car."

"Uh..."

Wearing something meant for Evelyn Miles made her feel inexplicably unwilling.

"Miss Thorne, are you bothered? If you are..."

"I’m not bothered, so I’ll just take it."

Elara Don laughed heartily, not wanting to be too particular.

The main thing now was to change out of her wet clothes.

Otherwise, she’d definitely catch a cold.

Benjamin Harper watched Elara Don’s bright eyes, smiling slightly.

His gaze settled on her earlobe.

"Miss Thorne, it seems you’re missing an earring."

Elara Don blinked, touched her earlobe, and indeed, only one of her ears had an earring.

It was a pair of earrings she really liked, given to her by Kiki.

"Oh dear, where did it fall?"

Elara Don lowered her gaze to search the floor.

Benjamin Harper hastily helped her search.

"Found it."

Benjamin Harper found it a step faster than Elara Don, picking it up with a smile.

"Thank you."

Elara Don’s eyes lit up, smiling as she prepared to take the earring.

"I’ll help you put it on."

Benjamin Harper smiled, then approached Elara Don.

Elara Don blinked, but before she could refuse, Benjamin Harper was already helping her with the earring.

At this moment, the door was pushed open with a bang.

Damon Hawke’s tall figure stood at the doorway.

From his vantage point, Benjamin Harper’s tilted head looked like he was about to kiss Elara Don.

Instantly, the atmosphere around him sank further.

He strode forward, pulling Elara Don behind him, then swung his fist, striking at Benjamin Harper.

"Benjamin Harper, what are you doing?"

Benjamin Harper was caught off guard, staggering as he fell to the floor.

He was stunned.

Elara Don gasped and hurried over to help Benjamin Harper up.

"Benjamin Harper, are you okay?"

Benjamin Harper wiped a trace of blood from the corner of his mouth, slightly shaking his head.

His gaze fell on Damon Hawke, full of confusion.

"Damon, why did you hit me? What did I do?"

Damon Hawke’s gaze landed on Elara Don, seeing her looking worriedly at Benjamin Harper, his anger intensified.

"What did you do? A man and woman alone in a room, what were you two doing just now?"

Did he misunderstand?

Did she actually let Benjamin Harper kiss her?

Since when did she become so indiscreet!

"We..."

Benjamin Harper regained his senses; understanding why Damon Hawke was angry, he felt a bit speechless.

He had heard about Damon Hawke and Elara Don’s situation.

It seemed that Damon Hawke does like Elara Don.

He had just misunderstood their relationship!

"Mr. Hawke, who are you to us? What were we doing just now, do we need to explain it to you?"

Before Benjamin Harper could explain, Elara Don suddenly spoke up.

Benjamin Harper: "..."

Why did Elara Don say that?

Was she sending herself straight into the fire!

Damon Hawke’s eyes darkened as he looked at Elara Don, the veins on his forehead throbbing, indicating his anger was on the brink of eruption.

"Elly, you don’t have to explain to me, but at least understand that you have a boyfriend, and should maintain distance from other males."
