Chapter 59 Is Benjamin Our Daddy
“You should have told us, Mommy. We always see you looking at our photos as if you’re thinking about someone. We thought you missed Daddy, but it seems like you were looking at…” Zachary trailed off and looked at Gavin.
Knowing that Arissa always had him in mind, Gavin was touched.
Mommy didn’t forget me.
With that, Gavin rushed into Arissa’s arms and hugged her tightly. “Mommy!”
Arissa was stunned and asked, “What’s wrong, Jasper?”
Isn’t he overreacting? He’s crying too.
“Mommy!”
Arissa returned his hug and patted his head. She consoled, “Don’t worry, your brother is doing well.”
“When did you meet him, Mommy? Why didn’t you bring him back?” Oliver pretended to be clueless and asked.
He did that so that Gavin would not think they did not want him. It was just that their mommy hadn’t found him previously.
“I still can’t bring him back yet. He has his own home, after all.” As Arissa stared at them, she hesitated about telling them that Benjamin was their father.
If they knew the truth, they might secretly try to find Benjamin. To top it off, she was working at his company now.
Hence, she decided to hold it off for now.
There were more important matters that remained unsolved. It was not the time to reunite the father and children yet.
“Is he living with Daddy? Did you meet up with Daddy? By the way, who is our Daddy?” Zachary asked curiously, pretending to be more oblivious than Oliver.
Oliver glanced at Zachary, whom he always regarded as the oldest sibling.
Wait a minute. I’m not the second child anymore; I’m the third. And then, the third will become the fourth…
Gavin looked at Arissa hesitantly. Should I tell Mommy that I’m Gavin?
“Yes. He’s living with Daddy. However, I still can’t tell you who Daddy is yet.”
“Why?” Jesse asked. Is Gavin’s daddy a bad guy?
Arissa glanced at Jesse and smiled. “I’ll tell you when the time is right.”
Zachary and Gavin exchanged looks and chuckled. “His daddy can’t be our daddy, right? Are you worried that we’ll find him after you tell us?”
Arissa felt embarrassed. My children are too smart and not easily fooled.
“Mommy, is our daddy Benjamin?” Oliver asked loudly.
Bradley snickered while Arissa was stressed out.
“Of course not!” Arissa protested. If he finds out that Benjamin is his dad, all he sees will only be money.
Oliver pouted and mumbled, “It would be nice if Benjamin is our daddy. With his wealth and power, no one will dare bully us anymore. More importantly, his wealth and power will belong to us too.”
The other children were rendered speechless.
Bradley burst into laughter. He picked up Oliver and said, “If you want Benjamin to be your daddy so badly, you should look for him and get him to be your godfather.”
“Really?” Oliver’s eyes lit up.
“Oliver!” Arissa glared at him. Oliver may really try to pull it off if any that idea is put into his head.
Anyway, Benjamin is their real father. There’s no need to make him their godfather.
If Benjamin were to meet Oliver, would he let Oliver return to me?
“You can’t be running around and asking other people to be your godfather, Oliver. Understand?” Arissa warned Oliver sternly.
Oliver glanced at her and nodded, “I know, Mommy.”
“What’s our oldest brother’s name?” Jesse said as she climbed onto Arissa’s lap.
Zachary glared at Jesse. I can’t believe she called someone else the oldest brother so quickly.
On the other hand, Gavin sat at the side happily as he patted Jesse’s head.
Zachary’s mouth twitched.
“His name is Gavin.” Arissa decided to leave out his last name so that the children would not relate Gavin to Benjamin.
“Wow, what a nice name. It’s as cool as ours.” Arissa was taken aback by Jesse’s words. Indeed. Is this fate?
