Chapter 8

　　It's too much to negotiate terms with her. 　　However, Ben's triumphant appearance made Maria peck her cheek, "Mama." 　　"Hehe, Mommy is so nice." 　　Ben hugged Maria and said with a grin, "I heard from my uncle, so I came by taxi." 　　Maria nodded as if she's pounding garlic. She said, "Um, it's not good." 　　Not long after, the front desk bought a bag of snacks. 　　Maria put the snacks on the coffee table, hugged Ben on the sofa and asked, "Little boy, which do you want to eat? Potato chips? Chocolate? Lollipops or French fries?" 　　"Yeah~" 　　Ben's big eyes swept through a bag of snacks and pointed at the chocolate, "I want to eat chocolate. Could you help me open it?" 　　"Okay, then let's eat chocolate." 　　Maria thoughtfully opened the bag for Ben and handed it to him. 　　Ben took the chocolate and smiled from ear to ear, "Thank you Mommy." 　　The little hand squeezed the chocolate, took a bite, chewed, and raised his eyebrows while nodding, "Wow, it's delicious. It's not bad at all. Daddy lied to me. Hmp! Bad Daddy!" 　　He muttered to himself while chewing on chocolate. 　　Maria was a little puzzled, "Doesn't your daddy let you eat chocolate?" 　　It is not difficult for adults to compose some awkward reasons in order to prevent children from eating sweets. 　　But when she looked at Ben eating, he looked like he had never eaten chocolate before. 　　"Yeah, bad daddy. He never let me eat chocolate. He's too bad.", Ben gulped the chocolate without forgetting what his dad said. 　　"Oh, slow down, little boy. No one is rushing to eat with you." 　　Seeing him gorging himself, the corners of his mouth were covered with chocolate chips, and he couldn't help but groan. He stretched out his hand and took out a tissue to wipe the corners of his mouth. 　　"Hehe, Mommy is so kind to me." 　　The little boy chuckled, looking cute and turned over. 　　But in a short while, after eating three bars of chocolate. 　　Knocking—— 　　The office door knocked, and her assistant Fatima opened the door and said, "Ms. Martin, Mr. Lopez is here." 　　"Let him in quickly." 　　Maria responded and reached out to hold Ben's plump cheeks, "Little boy, your daddy is here." 　　"Hmph, Mommy, you are bad, too. I don't love you anymore. You betrayed me. hmp!" 　　The little boy hummed angrily, pouted angrily, and hugged his arms around her as if he looked like a small adult, looking very funny. 　　"Ben!" 　　Migs walked into the office and looked at the little boy with sharp eyes. He said solemnly, "Who let you run around? Huh?" 　　Ben glanced at Migs, pouting his mouth with a sullen look, "Are you angry?" 　　"You...", Migs's brows were straight, and he didn't understand how Ben could be uncharacteristically kept clinging to Maria. 　　"Mr. Lopez, you are also responsible for this matter. As the father of the child, if he gets lost, you should be held responsible for it.", Maria didn't want to see him scolding Ben, so she interjected. 　　Hearing this, Migs raised his thick eyebrows and glanced at Maria coldly, "You saved Ben, and I gave you something in return. But it doesn't mean you can interfere with my private affairs." 　　Migs would never want to be reprimanded by a little girl. 　　Saving his son doesn't mean she can do whatever she wants to do. 　　"Are you trying to put your oar in?" 　　Maria was irritated by his words, "Mr. Lopez, you think too much. I never want to be nosy, so please take care of your own son next time. Only incompetent people will not be able to deal with such a young and innocent child." 　　Who? 　　She really doubted his character more and more. 　　The child was lost and came to her. She put aside the things in her hands and spared time to accompany his son. 　　But Migs didn't even say thank you but showed off his power to him. 　　It's unacceptable! 　　Maria angered him for being 'incompetent'! 　　Migs's cold face immediately became gloomy, and his cold eyes stared at her, "Are you provoking me?" 　　In just a few words, the atmosphere was condensed, and the swords were drawn. 　　Seeing that the situation was not good, Ben immediately stepped forward, his small body blocked Maria. 　　With his hands on his hips, he raised his head to Migs and said angrily, "Daddy, what kind of man are you if you bully a woman? I am really ashamed of you." 　　As the little guy spoke, his mouth opened and closed, and Migs saw the brown things remaining on his white teeth. 　　With frowning eyebrows, he immediately squatted down, pinched his mouth with a big palm, and asked, "Open your mouth, what is that you're eating?" 　　"Wow, the chocolate is delicious." 　　The little boy bulged his cheeks in displeased and snorted coldly, "Daddy, you lied to me. Chocolate is obviously delicious." 　　"Chocolate?", Migs' complexion immediately sank, and he raised his eyes to look at Maria, "Who told you to give him chocolate?!" 　　"Nothing happened to the kid after eating some chocolate, so what are you mad about", Maria retorted sharply, and her face also looked fierce. 　　"Oh, uh... it hurts..." 　　At this moment, Ben was clutching his abdomen, breathing out again and again and is grunting in pain. His small face was twisted, and it seemed that the pain was severe. 　　"Little boy, what's the matter with you?", Maria knelt immediately and asked. 　　Migs flicked away Maria's hand, "What's going on? Of course, chocolate allergies are fatal, don't you know?!" After speaking, he immediately picked up Ben and ran outside. 　　"What? He's allergic?"
