Chapter 5 Whey Protein Allergy

"It's you?" Ben remembered that she was the woman he had met at the airport and continued talking in a steady tone, "I'm here to pick up Rachel."

Rachel...Ben.

Gabrielle came to realize, "You're Rachel's..."

"Father," Ben said coldly.

Gabrielle was relieved of worry.

It turned out that he did not recognize her or come to look for her.

Rachel was the Taylor Family's little princess...

The age of Rachel should mean that she was the child of Joyce.

Gabrielle used to hate Joyce so much that she even resented the child in her belly, but when she saw Rachel now, somehow, she couldn't feel any resentment.

How could she hate such a sweet and lovely little girl? Besides, the feuds between her and Joyce had nothing to do with Rachel.

"Daddy!" Rachel ran out with her head held high and asked in a soft voice, "Are you here to take me and mommy home?"

She thought that it was hard to take all her brothers home at once, so it was better to take mommy first.

"Mommy?" A tinge of mockery appeared in Ben's voice, who narrowed his eyes at Gabrielle. He thought that the woman in front of him was attempting to seduce him by taking advantage of his daughter.

He was also confused that how the woman coaxed Rachel to call her mother.

Ben remembered clearly that Joyce had secretly seen Rachel when his parents were not paying attention and managed to make her call her mother, but Rachel refused.

He did not expect that this woman, who had only met Rachel once, could make her willing to call her mother.

It was so unbelievable.

Gabrielle flushed with embarrassment, "It's not me who let her..."

The words suddenly stopped at the tip of her mouth.

Why did she explain to the man who had cheated on her? Since Rachel was his mistress's child, it was reasonable that Rachel called Gabrielle's mother if he wanted her to be recognized publicly as the child of the Taylor Family. Even now, they had not officially divorced, so she was still his wife. What was wrong with letting his daughter call her mother?

Gabrielle did not know why she thought about these, seeming she was not as nervous as she predicted.

Maybe it was because this was not the first time they met each other since she came back.

Ben sneered with a sardonic look, "If you want kids so badly, have them yourself..."

"Mommy!" The little boys suddenly rushed over to Gabrielle's side, glaring at the man at the door with their heads high, "Don't bully my mommy!"

The children were so sensitive that they came to protect their mother as they smelled the hostility against her in the dining room.

This man was so hateful. How dare he laugh at mommy!

Ben was made silent by the sight of the six boys who appeared all of a sudden.

Looking at them who looked the same, Ben had to admit that he was shocked!

How strong the genes of their father were to have so many kids at once!

Now that she had sextuplets, how could it be possible that she was desirous of Rachel?

Damn!

Somehow, Ben felt a bit jealous of the children's biological father and curiously wanted to meet him.

But he soon dismissed the idea.

He was unfamiliar with this woman, so why should he care who her husband was?

The moment Gabrielle saw the little boys coming, her whole body was frozen. She was afraid that the man in front of her would discover the truth and hurt them like what he did to her before.

However, before she could think about a solution, Ben ordered.

"Rachel, go home!" He picked Rachel up directly with a touch of anger on his face.

"Daddy..." Rachel was too scared by her father's cold expression to say more.

Gabrielle looked at Rachel's gloomy face and was about to solace her. But the thought that she was Joyce and Ben's daughter made her realize that she had no right to say anything at all. So she could only clench her hand and let them go.

"Mommy. Rachel's father is so mean. Is he going to beat her?" Mike asked worriedly.

He had been beaten up by his uncle a lot because of his naughty behavior, so naturally, he was worried that Rachel's father was as violent as his uncle.

Could it be possible?

Gabrielle hated Ben. Nonetheless, she did not think he would be so ill-tempered as to beat up a child. What's more, Rachel was the child of him and his beloved mistress. How could he possibly beat her up?

"Don't be silly..."

Before Gabrielle could finish her words, Rachel said in a weak tone.

"Dad, my head hurts, and I'm dizzy..."

Her voice was so faint as if she was about to pass out.

Gabrielle was startled and rushed over.

"What's wrong with her?"

Ben, who had already knelt and put Rachel on his knee, examined her while questioning Gabrielle, "What did you give her to eat?"

Gabrielle was stunned, "seafood noodles."

As a mother, she could tell from Rachel's appearance that it was a food allergy. Was it due to the noodles?

"Did you add eggs?" Ben asked with a sullen look on his face.

Gabrielle shook her head, "No."

"Did you give her milk?" Ben looked up sharply and glared at Gabrielle.

Gabrielle shook her head immediately, "No..."

"Mommy..." Mike raised his little hand in a panic, "Jacky gave Rachel milk."

Gabrielle stared at Ben with an agitated look in her eyes.

"She has a whey protein allergy?"

"She has a whey protein allergy."

They said the same words at the same time.

Ben cast a frosty glance which was as sharp as a knife at Gabrielle, "If anything happens to my daughter, I will never let you go!"

After those words, he picked up Rachel and ran towards the elevator.
