Chapter 116 How Dare She Ignore Me
“Hehe!” Jesse giggled happily. “Don’t worry, Mommy. All of us likes Gavin a lot. We already met him in school… Ah! I remember now! It was actually Gavin who was at our house, not Jasper. The two of them lied to me!”
Jesse frowned when she realized that.
She had been very puzzled when she saw Jasper carrying a schoolbag, but he had told her that it was actually Gavin’s.
What a liar!
Arissa smiled as she removed Jesse’s clothes and gave her a bath.
“Mommy, Gavin is calling!” Oliver shouted from outside the door.
“Answer it quickly,” Arissa urged as she turned to the door.
Oliver opened the door and put the phone on loudspeaker.
Gavin’s voice was heard from the other end of the phone.
“Mommy, Daddy and I have reached home,” Gavin’s adorable voice said.
Arissa smiled dotingly. “That’s good, Sweetheart. Take a shower and go to bed early. See you tomorrow.”
“See you tomorrow, Mommy. Good night.” Gavin was very happy.
Arissa’s lips curved into a smile. “Good night, Sweetheart.”
She waited for Gavin to hang up before putting the phone away.
“Mommy, why did Gavin call?” Oliver asked with a frown.
“He’s your older brother.” Arissa pinched Oliver’s cheek.
Oliver’s frown deepened. “Mommy, how do you know that he’s older?”
Arissa was amused. “The one who was taken away was definitely the one who was born earlier. I remember that he had already been taken away when I gave birth to all of you.”
As Arissa recalled the past, she blamed herself for being useless and getting set up.
Her child had been abducted, but she was too weak to get them back.
Oliver noticed that Arissa was caught up in her memories. “I understand now, Mommy. Go and give Jesse a bath.”
Arissa looked at him. “What did you understand?”
“Gavin is older than me!” Oliver giggled.
It would be nice to have an older brother.
Having another younger brother would just be another source of frustration.
Jasper caused trouble everywhere he went and would not listen to them, making them worry about him all the time.
Arissa smiled. She quickly finished Jesse’s bath and brought her four children to bed.
The four of them were ecstatic as they rarely got to sleep with her.
After playing for a while more, they finally went to sleep.
Benjamin was overwhelmed by emotions. He sat in the study for a long while before finally heading upstairs.
He went to Gavin’s room and saw that Gavin was asleep, nestled cutely under the blanket.
Benjamin sat on the edge of the bed and caressed Gavin’s face.
After a while, he tucked Gavin in properly and returned to his own bedroom.
Benjamin frowned. It’s been a while since we returned home. Why hasn’t she called to ask if we got home safely?
Then, he realized that Gavin could have already called her. Benjamin was frustrated. Should I give her a call?
Benjamin stood in the room with knitted brows. It looked as though he was troubled about a business deal worth billions.
It was just a phone call, but he struggled for a long time.
He finally made the decision to call her, but no one answered.
After confirming that he was dialing the correct number, he tried again.
Once again, no one answered the phone.
Benjamin’s face darkened. How dare this woman ignore my call?
Anger surged in his chest.
He could not help but send her a message: Call me once you see this!
He waited for half an hour, but Arissa did not return his call.
Benjamin’s aura grew colder. This woman actually ignored me? Why is she so nice to Gavin but so cold to me?
That night, Benjamin was so angry that he only fell asleep late at night.
