Chapter 48 Can You Be My Mommy
“That would be me!” Benjamin said while looking at her.
Arissa looked at him in surprise as she heard that. When Benjamin’s eyes met with hers, she quickly turned her head back to the program and said, “I didn’t know that you are skilled in programming too, Mr. Graham!”
“Is that a compliment or a criticism?” Benjamin asked.
Ignoring his question, Arissa smiled and continued writing the program.
After staring at Arissa for some time, Benjamin took a look at the code on the screen. He noticed that she had rewritten the code to a much better version than the previous one.
At the doorway, Jasper probed his head into the room and watched them.
When Benjamin turned his head toward him, he quickly ran out.
Man, why is Daddy here? I wanted to say hello to Mommy!
Benjamin stepped out of the room toward Jasper, who was in a dinosaur costume with his head out, and patted his head. “Are you wondering who that lady is?”
Nope! I know that’s Mommy!
Jasper glanced at Benjamin and quickly lowered his head without saying a word.
“She’s Arissa York. She’s here to install the surveillance cameras’ system,” Benjamin told Jasper.
As Arissa was waiting for the program that she finished writing to run, she overheard Benjamin’s talking voice and turned her head to see who he was talking to.
Suddenly, she heard a familiar voice from the doorway. “Will she stay for dinner?”
The voice surprised her, and her heart skipped a beat.
At the same time, Benjamin turned toward her, so she quickly turned her head back toward the program, feeling puzzled.
Why does the voice sound like Jasper’s? But he should be at home, not here! Is that my son? Their voices are so similar to each other!
“Well, it’s up to her whether she wants to stay or not!” Benjamin said while squeezing Jasper’s face gently.
Jasper blinked his eyes and glanced at Benjamin.
When Benjamin gestured to Jasper to go inside the room, Jasper curled his lips and asked, “What?”
“You can ask her to stay for dinner if you want!” Benjamin looked at Jasper and said.
Jasper glanced at Benjamin and ran into the room and asked Arissa, “Ms. York, Daddy is asking you to have dinner at our house!”
Arissa looked at the cute little figure in front of her.
Although most of his face was covered by the costume, his eyes and nose looked familiar.
Arissa held back the urge to hug him as Benjamin was still there, and she was afraid that she would frighten the child too.
“Ms. York?” Jasper stared at Arissa while laughing inside.
Haha! I surprised Mommy!
“Ms. York, you look like my Mommy!” Jasper said that as he jumped into Arissa’s arm.
Jasper missed his mom so much as he had not seen her for days, and he let out a broad smile as he inhaled Arissa’s scent.
Arissa’s heart was pounding as she held Jasper up.
She dared not talk as she was afraid that she would expose herself.
He is really my son! And he is with Benjamin!
Benjamin’s eyes darkened as he saw that his son claimed that Arissa was his mom. “Sorry about that. My son had mistaken you as his mom!”
As Benjamin was about to grab Jasper, Jasper broke away from him and said, “I’m not mistaken! She’s Mommy!”
Daddy is annoying! I’m not done with hugging Mommy yet!
“Ms. York, can you be my Mommy?”
Arissa was left speechless.
After that, she cleared her mind and asked him gently, “Don’t you already have a Mommy?”
Danna must have become his mom. Otherwise, why would she go through all the troubles to take my son away from me? I wondered why Benjamin didn’t take her as his wife.
