Chapter 168 He Should Not Want Me
Zachary wondered if they should go somewhere else instead.
He was not afraid of them, but he did not want to expose his mother to any danger.
“Hmph! He should not want me.”
Gavin was outraged when he saw Benjamin appear at the scene. Raw anger shot though him.
“Are you going to get that?”
Zachary reminded Gavin that his phone was still ringing.
Gavin answered the call. “What’s up?”
When Ethen heard the cold, icy voice on the other end of the phone, it reminded him of Benjamin. He shuddered.
“Gavin, I found something. Danna’s accident…”
“I did it. You can tell Benjamin!”
Ethen was put in a spot when he heard that. Gavin did not intend to hide the truth from his father.
It had been quite tense between both father and son. Ethen thought that telling Benjamin about the incident might strain the relationship even more.
“Gavin…”
Before Ethen could say what was on his mind, Gavin had already hung up.
“We need to leave now. Do you know a good hiding place?” Gavin asked Zachary.
Now that Ethen was aware of the matter, Benjamin would know about it sooner or later.
Gavin never intended to hide what he had done.
Danna had tried to make things difficult for his mother so many times. That woman had even mistreated him. He was determined not let her off. She had even used them to threaten his mother.
Zachary’s eyes lit up.
“Yes, but Mommy wouldn’t want to leave with us so soon. Why don’t we take it slow?”
“No, we can’t do that. Do you think Benjamin will let you stay out for long now that he knows who you are?”
They would not be able to leave once he caught them.
Gavin’s eyes had a brilliant glint.
Zachary stroked his chin. “You’re right! Should we leave now?”
Gavin nodded. “Where are Oliver and the others?”
“They said they were going to the washroom. The three of them have been gone for quite a while.”
Zachary recalled what Arissa had told him. Frowning, he quickly stepped out.
“Hey, Mr. York! Where do you think you are going?”
The teacher could not tell the brothers apart. So, he addressed them all as ‘Mr. York’ for good measure.
“Teacher, I need to use the washroom!”
Zahcary put on a serious look. It was very convincing.
“Sure!” The teacher smiled kindly at him.
“Teacher, I need to go too!”
Gavin immediately followed Zachary, leaving the teacher speechless.
Olivier, Jasper, and Jesse were surrounded by a group of men as soon as they came out of the washroom.
“Hey, kids. Why don’t you follow me? I can get you some candy.”
The children exchanged looks. The men did not look like they had good intentions.
Do these men think we’re dumb just because we’re children? Do they think they can buy our trust so easily?
Oliver and Jasper huddled together, blocking Jesse from view. All three of them looked warily at the men.
“Who are you? We don’t know you.”
“Who we are isn’t important. Your mother asked us to pick you up. Come with us.”
Oliver and Jasper looked at each other. They acted quickly.
The men were taken by surprise. Within minutes, they were all beaten up and lying on the floor.
“Jesse, pass the rope!”
Jesse quickly took out the rope from her bag.
The three of them tied the men together.
“You…”
The men stared at the kids in disbelief. They didn’t think they would be fooled by children.
Jesse stuffed the mops taken from the washroom into their mouths.
The men almost fainted from disgust.
“I’ll give Zachary a call!”
Jasper took out his phone and was about to call Zachary.
Just then, Oliver saw Zachary and Gavin approaching and tugged at Jasper’s sleeve.
“They’re here.”
Zachary and Gavin caught sight of the three of them and quickly ran over.
“What happened?”
Both of them looked at their siblings worriedly. They heaved a sigh of relief when they realized they had not been hurt.
