Chapter 712 Come To The Front
“I, too, think Mommy had gone to buy a schoolbag.” Oliver chuckled, agreeing with Zachary’s words. Gavin smiled. “I think so, too. Otherwise, why else would she be in such a hurry? I mean, she’s probably worried that there won’t be enough time tomorrow.”
Just then, Benjamin came out and saw the kids eating. He soon noticed that Arissa was nowhere to be seen. “Edwin.” Edwin hurried over and asked, “What do you need, Mr. Graham?”
“Where’s Arissa?” Benjamin asked in a deep voice.
Edwin glanced at him before answering, “Mrs. Graham has gone out to buy something.”
“What is she buying?” Benjamin stared at Edwin.
“Mrs. Graham didn’t say,” Edwin answered cautiously.
Benjamin pursed his lips and turned toward the study. Just when he was just about to head toward the study, he turned around and asked again, “When did she leave?”
“Just a while ago. A few minutes at most.” Edwin looked at him.
Benjamin then strode toward the entrance and asked the bodyguard, “Who drove Arissa out?”
“Seventeen, sir,” the bodyguard answered.
“Give me his location now.” With that, Benjamin got into his car.
Shortly after, he drove out of Yaleview.
The kids looked at each other when they heard the sound of a car’s engine.
“Did Mr. Graham go out to find Mommy?” Jasper asked.
“Who knows?” Oliver uttered.
Gavin chimed in, “I think that’s most probably the case. Daddy asked Mr. Whitley where did Mommy go, didn’t he?”
Zachary glanced at them. “If Mr. Graham has gone out to look for Mommy, that means he has done something wrong.”
“What did he do wrong?” Tim asked.
“Well, I have no idea either,” Zachary replied.
While eating, Jesse looked at the others and murmured, “Could it be that Mr. Graham is worried about Mommy?”
Upon hearing that, all five of the boys turned to look at their sister.
Jesse shrank back in response.
Amused, Edwin looked at them and said, “Let’s stop guessing, all right? You guys can just ask Mrs. Graham when she comes back later. So eat up, boys. And Ms. Jesse, would you like me to feed you?”
Since Benjamin wasn’t around, Edwin was eager to feed Jesse.
“Mr. Whitley, you shouldn’t do that! She might end up getting used to it. Let her eat on her own,” Zachary rejected Edwin in all seriousness.
Jesse cast her brothers an innocent look.
Edwin smiled sheepishly and said, “Just this once, okay?”
Zachary looked at Edwin and sighed. “Fine. Just this once.”
Edwin was elated.
He took Jesse’s bowl and started feeding the little girl patiently.
Jesse was just as happy, if not happier. Edwin’s heart melted when he saw her mouth stuffed with food and her cheeks puffing up like a hamster’s.
“Slow down. There’s still plenty of food left,” Edwin said.
“Thank you, Mr. Whitley! The dishes you make are delicious!” Jesse uttered cutely.
While feeding Jesse, Edwin was still serving food to the boys. “Eat more, okay? I can cook some more if we run out of food.”
“Okay!” The kids ate their dinner happily.
Just a while after Arissa left, Benjamin managed to catch up to her and stopped his car in front of hers.
Seventeen turned around and said, “Ms. York, that’s Mr. Graham’s car!”
Arissa was puzzled when she saw Benjamin.
When Seventeen saw Benjamin rolling down his window, he quickly rolled down his window as well. “Mr. Graham,” he called out respectfully.
“Get Arissa to come over,” Benjamin uttered in a deep voice.
Arissa heard him and was left confused. She glanced at him but didn’t get out of the car.
“Ms. York, Mr. Graham is asking for you.” Seventeen relayed the message, but Arissa was still not moving. Hence, he steeled himself and urged, “Ms. York, please just go over to him. Mr. Graham wants to drive you himself.”
The corners of Arissa’s lips twitched.
At that moment, Benjamin called out impatiently, “Hurry up!”
Nonetheless, Arissa didn’t feel like having him drive her.
“Ms. York, just go over, won’t you? It’s getting late now, and the shops might close up soon. Not to mention I can’t go anywhere with Mr. Graham’s car parked in front of us,” Seventeen uttered apologetically.
After delaying for a while, Arissa got out of the car and got into Benjamin’s car’s backseat.
With a grim expression, Benjamin ordered, “Come to the front!”
