Chapter 482
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.
