Chapter 189 Not His Biological Mother
The four children agreed that Gavin had a point.
“What should we do?” Jesse muttered and turned her attention toward the other four.
It took them a long while before they managed to escape Benjamin’s clutches. She was worried that the man wouldn’t be kind to them once he found them.
“Don’t worry. At least he won’t find us in a while!” Gavin’s lips curved into a smile.
“We already know that!” Zachary hissed at him.
Arissa stepped out of her shower to find that her five children were still wide awake.
“Why aren’t you asleep yet? Aren’t you sleepy?”
When they heard their mother, the children turned toward her and grinned. “We’re waiting for you!”
Arissa smiled at the quintuplets.
“Give me a minute!”
She spent some time cleaning up the place, and went to bed soon after that. The rest could wait.
“Good night, everyone!”
She hugged her children and kissed them on their cheeks.
“Good night, Mommy!”
The children returned Arissa’s kisses, and went to bed as well.
It did not take long before they fell asleep. After all, it had been a long and tiring day.
Meanwhile, in Lightspring, a man stood before a window as he stared at the night sky in the distance.
His eyes were dark, and he exuded a cold aura from head to toe.
Ethen came up to him from behind and reported, “We’ve lost contact with Ms. York and the children after they disappeared from Lightspring. I’ve arranged for my men to track them in all four directions.”
He gulped as he observed the towering figure. He did not dare to speak out of line.
He had been excited when he found out he had actually fathered five children, but Arissa suddenly ran away with Gavin.
Benjamin broke the silence with his cold voice. “Any news from the police?”
Ethen tensed. Instinctively, he straightened his back and replied, “No. Not yet.”
Ethen glanced at Benjamin, who was practically purple with rage, and uttered, “Their disappearance was on the news just now. Once they show up in public, I’m sure we’ll get updates from our informants!”
Benjamin’s eyes flickered when he heard that, but he still had other things on his mind.
After some time, he uttered, “I want no harm to come to them. Assure their safety!”
“Sure!” Ethen replied with a nod. That was needless to say.
Then, Benjamin turned and headed toward the door. Stunned, Ethen followed suit.
“Mr. Graham, where are you going at this hour?”
“Back to Dellmoor!” Benjamin replied shortly, confusing Ethen even more.
“Are we giving up the search?”
“Increase the bounty!”
Ethen’s eyes shot wide. He probed, “How much?”
For him, ten million was more than enough.
“One hundred million!” Benjamin’s lips trembled.
He was sure that the woman would not be able to hide forever.
Ethen blinked and pushed his glasses up. That’s rather excessive, isn’t it?
Just then, Benjamin’s phone rang.
It was a call from the Graham family.
An old man’s voice rang out from the other end of the line. “Benjamin, where are you? Come back now!”
It was Darius Graham, Benjamin’s father.
“What’s the matter?” Benjamin replied calmly.
Darius took a while to suppress his anger before he spoke. “The Adams family is here!”
“Just send them away,” Benjamin replied coldly.
“What’s going on? They said you’ve had Danna arrested?” Darius demanded an answer.
“That’s right,” Benjamin confessed.
Darius was shocked to hear that. “Oh, dear! What happened between you two? Release her at once!”
“That’s impossible,” Benjamin replied curtly.
“Are you trying to piss me off? No matter what happens between you two, she’s still Gavin’s mother! What will happen to Gavin if she’s in jail?”
“She’s not Gavin’s biological mother.”
With that said, Benjamin ended the call and headed to Dellmoor.
