After hearing Adeline would not be attending dinner with him and his father, Benjamin was happy. He was so happy that he almost skipped to the front door.
'She messed up big time,' Benjamin thought, excited to hear what Adeline's punishment would be.
It was long overdue that Adeline received a punishment for how cocky she was becoming. Acting like he would fall without her. Benjamin knew she was plotting to take his spot. He didn't trust Adeline as far as he could throw her. If he wasn't careful, his sister was going to stab him in the back.
"I'm here!" Benjamin called to his father. "The favourite child has arrived. Father?"
Benjamin's excitement didn't die over no one greeting him by the door. His father never was there waiting for him but he was so excited that he forgot about it.
Benjamin went in search of his father who had to be fuming over Adeline not listening and if Liam did not show up then it was all over for Adeline.
