Chapter 435 He’s Really Not A Good Guy
But after spending more time with Nelson, Daniel had started to think of him as his own kid, too.
Nelson sat on Daniel’s lap and, trying to lighten the mood like before, he made an effort to strike up a conversation with him.
Nelson and Daniel were more familiar with each other, so their conversation flowed much more naturally than his earlier one with Lester.
They started talking about Benjamin.
Once Benjamin came up, Daniel couldn’t help but warn Lester.
“Lester, you need to stop messing with Benjamin,” he said.
“I’m telling you, he’s really not a good guy.
“Wait, no, that’s not right. I mean, he’s really not someone to mess with!”
Daniel had misspoken.
That slip-up was thanks to all the times he’d complained about Benjamin to his buddies.
He was so used to grumbling about Benjamin to his friends that he couldn’t switch enough in front of an outsider.

Daniel corrected his mistake.
After fixing it, he made Lester agree not to tell Benjamin about looking after Nina.
Otherwise, Benjamin would absolutely lose it on Lester.
Daniel made Benjamin sound pretty scary.
But Lester wasn’t scared.
Not only was Lester unafraid, he actually got a weird kick out of provoking Benjamin and making him angry.
He didn’t know why, but seeing Benjamin annoyed gave him a strange sense of satisfaction.
“Daniel, shut up for a minute,” Lester said, cutting him off. “Benjamin’s here.”
Lester’s announcement that Benjamin had arrived made Daniel choke.
He didn’t dare look backk.
His body went stiff as he sat facingg bsster.
“Lester, you’re messing with me right? Danielwhispered, his voice strained. “Why would Benjamin come here? He was stilllhtbbonewhen Ideft.”
