Chapter 172 The Chubby Baby Benjamin Actually Liked
He’d even sneer with that little cold face of his after hitting someone.
Oh, he could mock too.
The adults held him and his little friend, Hugh, up to weigh them one by one.
Back then, Hugh was heavier.

When the number was announced, little Benjamin’s lips curved slightly, and he sneered, “Fatty.”
Amelia, sitting on the sofa, spoke up for little Hugh, “That’s not even fat!”
Nina is much chubbier. How could Benjamin pick on cute, chubby babies like that!
Just as Amelia was defending Hugh, another chubby baby appeared on screen.
This one was only a year old, dressed in a pink dress, with a delicate gold necklace around her neck and silver bracelets on her chubby wrists.
She loved to laugh-she giggled at everyone she saw.
The adults were all teasing her. William’s voice came through, warm and cheerful. “Mia, happy first birthday! Want Benjamin to hold you?”
The chubby baby called Mia nodded and opened her little arms, gurgling happily, “Hug!”
Little Benjamin was pushed forward.
He glanced at the chubby baby in front of him, looking a bit reluctant, like he was about to walk off. But Mia kept calling him.
But her persistent little calls made him stop-he stayed serious, but he picked her up anyway.
After he held Mia, little Hugh came running over too.
Hugh pointed at the baby and announced in his milky voice, “Benjamin, she fatty! She fatty!”
Benjamin heard that, set Mia down, and hit Hugh-making him cry right away,
The adults rushed in-some breaking up the fight, some laughing. Mia, who had been put down, sat on the floor, round eyes blinking in confusion, still calling Benjamin’s name.
Amelia’s gaze settled on that chubby baby.

For some reason, the longer she looked, the weirder she felt.

Benjamin had quite a lot of interaction with that smiling, chubby baby. He had held her several times.
Amelia stared at the baby and finally murmured, “Even cold little Benjamin actually liked this kid.”
She finished murmuring, gently shook her head, and continued watching the next clips.
In the later clips, that chubby little girl never appeared again.
Amelia watched all the way to Benjamin in elementary school.
He walked out of the school gate wearing his little uniform.
William asked him, “Benjamin, where’s your backpack?”
Little Benjamin answered coolly, “Threw it away.”
William’s tone went frantic. “Why did you throw it away again?!”
Little Benjamin was stingy with words. “It got dirty.”
William grew even more frantic. “You can’t throw it away just because it’s dirty! You could bring it home-I’d get you a new one! If you threw away the backpack, what about the books?!”
Little Benjamin blinked slowly and answered flatly, “The books are on my desk.”
William heard the books were safe, took a deep breath, and compromised. “Fine… at least the books didn’t get lost this time. Come on, we’re going to buy another backpack.”
Even in elementary school, Benjamin was still such a handful.
The more Amelia watched the videos, the clearer it became which bad habits Nina had inherited.
No-compared to little Benjamin, Nina was practically a little angel!
No wonder William spoiled Nina so much.
While Amelia was still watching the videos, on the other side, Nina-who’d kept her dad company the whole drive-finally arrived at their destination with Benjamin.
The car stopped. Nina quickly climbed across her dad’s lap-she wanted to try getting out by herself this time.

Benjamin caught her chubby little body, set her down gently, slipped her socks and shoes back
on, then stepped aside.
“Slow down,” Benjamin reminded as he stepped out after her.
