Chapter 133 Biological Mother of Gavin
Arissa didn’t dare explain much to her son, afraid that he might worry too much. Instead, she reminded him of a few other things.
“Don’t worry, Mommy. I’ll take good care of them,” Zachary promised.
“What a good boy! I love you, Sweetheart!” Arissa praised her son before saying, “Could you please pass the phone to Mr. Hinton?”
“All right!” In a few seconds, Bradley’s voice was heard from the other end of the phone. “Boss!”
“It’s me. A group of people ambushed me when I got off work and Benjamin helped me. I’m at his place right now, but it’s not convenient for me to go back. Please look after my kids and make sure everything is all right,” Arissa briefly explained.
“Understood. Are you okay, Boss?” Bradley asked, careful not to show that he was worried. He didn’t want the kids to notice.
“Yes. It’s nothing I can’t handle.” Arissa paused before continuing, “Don’t tell the kids. I don’t want them to worry. There will be someone going over to pick up Gavin later. Have the kids return to their rooms by then.”
Her eyes flickered to Benjamin, who was coming out from the study. “He’s coming back, so I’m going to hang up now. Call me if you need anything!”
“Understood. Don’t worry, Boss. I’ll take good care of them!”
Arissa quickly ended the call.
Benjamin walked into the living room and glanced at Arissa, who was trying her best to act casual.
She continued to munch on the snacks while he stood there, not knowing what to do.
She thought it was weird how he just stood there and turned to look at him.
Suddenly, their eyes met, and she quickly averted her gaze.
It wasn’t long before she looked at him once more.
Benjamin was still staring at her.
She couldn’t handle the awkwardness any longer, so she cleared her throat and asked, “Mr. Graham, may I please know why are you staring at me?”
It was weird how he was just staring at her silently.
His gaze was fixated on her, still silent.
At that moment, they could hear the roaring of a car engine from the entrance, as though someone had just arrived.
Shortly after, they could hear the car stop. Soon, there was the sound of a car door opening and closing, followed by hurried footsteps.
It seemed like that person was in a rush.
Arissa curiously turned around to look.
“Benjamin, are you hurt?”
Shaun asked with worry, carrying his own medical box as he stalked towards them.
His eyes widened in shock when he noticed that there was a woman sitting in the living room.
“Y-You are…”
Shaun was speechless. He looked at Arissa, then at Benjamin. His eyes scanned Benjamin up and down, and it seemed like he was fine.
“Have a look at her.” Benjamin gave him a stern look.
Shaun came back to his senses and glanced at both of them. “You’re not hurt, Benjamin?”
“Do I look like I got hurt?” Benjamin scoffed.
The corner of Shaun’s lips twitched. He came rushing, thinking that Benjamin was injured.
But the person who was supposedly hurt didn’t look that much injured as well.
He placed his medical box on the table and glanced at Arissa. She seems familiar.
“Benjamin, who is she? Why does she look so familiar?”
“Just have a look at her arm. See if she has broken any bones,” Benjamin ordered, his tone cold as he cut off Shaun’s gossiping.
Shaun stared at Benjamin and noticed the latter’s frown because of how worried he was about Arissa. What a rare sight! To think that Benjamin could be worried about someone.
“Who are you?” He asked as he turned to look at Arissa.
Arissa smiled. “I’m Arissa.”
“Oh…”
He looked her up and down, strongly feeling the sense of familiarity. Suddenly, a thought popped into his mind.
He yelled out in shock. “Could you be Gavin’s biological mother?”
The more he thought about it, the more certain he was.
Looking at Arissa, he could see the resemblance between her and Gavin. Their eyes and chin looked similar.
Arissa was rendered speechless. How is he so good at noticing the resemblance?
“Shaun!” Benjamin shouted.
A chill ran down Shaun’s back at his name being called, and he came back to his senses. He quickly but carefully held onto Arissa’s arm to look at her bruises.
