Chapter 483

Lyndon pushed his glasses up and said sarcastically , “ You said she’s never even dated ? Come on . I’m not stupid . If she’s never dated , then where did the kid come from ? She told me she’s a single mom . ”
“ Wait . Hold on a sec .” Benny raised a hand , cutting Lyndon off .
Benny asked , “ Who has a kid ? ”
Lyndon replied , “ Who do you think ? ”
“ Cheryl … has a kid ? ” Benny stammered , sounding even more shocked than Lyndon .
Benny just couldn’t wrap his head around it . He wondered , ‘ How could that girl , who still had baby fat , have a kid ? ‘
Lyndon wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said , “ I went to her place , and it was a mess . I saw a diaper on the table , and she just came clean with me .
“ She has a baby , and she showed me the baby . When I saw that baby girl lying on the bed , I was completely stunned . ”
Lyndon grumbled , “ Does she really take me for an idiot ? Why should I be the one to raise her kid ? I’m not some sucker . ”
Benny didn’t say a word . He just frowned and rubbed his chin .
He suddenly remembered back then when he went to see Teresa and called her , he heard a baby crying in the background .
At the time , he had thought Teresa had Nareigh’s child , and he had wanted to go upstairs and catch them off guard , but Cheryl stopped him .
Cheryl even showed a cactus toy , pressed the button , and made it squeak , trying to fool him that the noise was from the toy instead of a baby .
Benny clicked his tongue and suddenly realized everything .
He heard Lyndon add , “ She also told me her family doesn’t know , and she asked me to keep it a secret . I— ”
But before Lyndon could finish , Benny had already left .
Only then did Lyndon dare to curse at Benny . He said in his heart , ‘ If you weren’t doing so much better than me , and if your dad wasn’t some big shot , I wouldn’t have just taken your beating without fighting back .’
Benny got Cheryl’s address from Lyndon .
He thought for a moment and felt that showing up empty – handed didn’t feel right . Therefore , he went to a nearby mall and bought some baby formula and a lightweight blanket .
After that , he went to knock on Cheryl’s door . “ Hey , open up . I’m here to apologize on behalf of Lyndon . ”
Cheryl leaned against the door , let out a little snort , and ignored Benny .
Benny knocked again and said helplessly , “ Come on . Open the door . Lyndon told me you have a daughter . ”
He hadn’t even finished when the door suddenly swung open .
Cheryl hurriedly pulled Benny inside and gripped his arm tightly .
Seeing that she stared up at him with her big , anxious eyes , Benny quickly reassured her . “ Relax . I haven’t told anyone . ”

“ Really ? You’re not lying to me , right ? Just because I’m young doesn’t mean you can trick me , ” she said , still suspicious .
Benny sighed and said , “ If I blabbed , don’t you think your family would have blown up your phone by now ? ”
Cheryl realized he had a point , and then she grabbed her phone and saw there were ho missed calls . Only then did she finally feel relieved
Benny wanted to set the things he had bought on the table . However , seeing that the table was piled high with random stuff, he put them on the floo
Her place was a total mess . The table was completely covered , and there wasn’t even a spot for Berny to sit .
Benny asked , “ So , where’s the baby ? Mind if I take a look ? ”
“ She is sleeping . You can peek in , but don’t wake her up , ” Cheryl said tiredly , pointing at a door .
Her mind was a mess , and she was even more annoyed at Lyndon for telling Benny about all this .
Benny tiptoed over , gently pushed the door open just a crack , and peeked inside .
