Benjamin was beyond furious to begin with. His mouth was tight and he was pacing in the room sharply while worrying about his father. Of course, the second he heard Lucas's remarks, he turned to look at Henry with even more dissatisfaction.
"Dad—"
"Don't," Benjamin raised his hand; he was too furious to even listen to the excuse that Henry had prepared. "Don't even say a word. I am telling you, Henry. You are inclined to stay with her if something happens to Dad today because of this woman. Then you might as well get lost. I cannot believe that you let this woman run rampant, even though you were aware of your grandfather's health conditions."
Henry lowered his head without a fight.
Mia knew that he wanted to quibble with Benjamin. It was not in his blood to retreat, but he was doing it for Jamie. He was worried that if he fought with Benjamin, his father would blame Jamie even more.
