Chapter 100 They Get Along So Well
“I’m fine. Don’t worry. Just decide what you want to eat, and leave the rest to me.”
Resting on the couch, she started to recall the events from earlier.
That thug did not say a single word. When the police arrived, he was still unconscious.
Was he sent by Danna?
Looking at her five babies, she couldn’t help but be perturbed again. It didn’t matter if Danna was out to get her, but she worried for her children’s safety.
Arissa frowned. She was wondering whether or not she should tell Benjamin.
The kids would be much safer with him.
“Mommy, what are you thinking about?”
Gavin poured her a glass of water.
She took the glass and replied, “Sweetheart, does your daddy know that you’re here?”
The child shook his head. “But I told the bodyguard that we were going to Mommy’s house. Maybe he would tell Daddy.”
Arissa’s eyes sparkled. She nodded and caressed his head.
“Go on and play. I’ll rest for a while.”
“Okay!”
After making sure she was okay, Gavin joined Zachary and the others in the kitchen.
The five little munchkins seemed to work together very well as if they had been together all their lives.
A smile formed on Arissa’s lips.
It’s their first time meeting. But why do they get along so well?
Arissa found it funny that they all went to the same school.
She walked over to them and asked, “Sweetheart, were you all surprised to meet each other in school?”
“Mommy, we didn’t even know that Gavin was also in our school. I was very happy when I saw him!”
Gavin, Zachary, Oliver, and Jasper all looked at each other and smiled.
They knew it ages ago.
Arissa rubbed Jesse’s head dotingly. “How was school today?”
Earlier, she was so caught up in wallowing in her own emotions. Only now did she remember to ask about her kids’ day at school.
“It was fine!” The five rascals said in unison.
Arissa beamed.
“Mommy, many of our friends and teachers in school really like us.”
Jesse described what school was like while Arissa listened attentively.
She gazed at the five children, each one so sweet and precious. To her, it was impossible that anyone would dislike them.
“Mommy, many girls gave candy to my brothers!”
Arissa chuckled softly and glanced over at the four boys.
“Well, did any boy give you candy?”
“Yes! And many, many girls too!” Jesse grinned like a Cheshire Cat.
Arissa hugged Jesse and planted a kiss on her head.
“Kids, go and play. I’ll do the cooking.”
“Mommy, aren’t you going to rest?” Zachary looked worried.
His chubby cheek was pinched by Arissa.
“I’m really fine. I’m not the same useless person as I was before. I smashed the bad guy’s head!”
The kids’ eyes all lit up at once.
Jasper was ecstatic. “Mommy, did you use the little hammer I gave you?”
“Yes, I did. Thank you, baby. That hammer saved Mommy’s life today.”
If that menace had an accomplice to help kidnap her, the situation might not have gone according to her favor.
She swore to never get into a stranger’s car ever again. It would be better for her to get a car of her own.
Arissa went into the kitchen to prepare to cook. At the same time, she gave Bradley a call.
“Bradley, help me buy a car right now. The kind that has five seats at the back.”
Having five children called for getting a bigger car.
“That’s sudden.”
“Yes. I almost got kidnapped after work when I got into a taxi,” Arissa explained.
“Oh, f*ck! Boss, are you okay?”
Bradley was horrified by the news.
“I’m fine. I knocked the guy unconscious and called the police.”
With knotted brows, Arissa thought that she should have given him a few more blows with the hammer.
“Was it Danna’s doing?” Bradley asked.
“I don’t know. It could be. I haven’t offended anyone since coming back. The police are still interrogating him.”
Arissa continued, “Help me buy a car first. If you could get one by tomorrow, that would be great.”
