Chapter 206 Do I Look Scary
Ethen cleared his throat and glanced at his boss, who was exuding a domineering aura. “Mr. Graham, would you like some water?”
Without waiting for a response, he went over to pour a glass of water for Benjamin.
The latter cast him a brief look but remained silent.
Moments later, Benjamin sat on the couch and stared intently at his five children. Gavin turned his head away arrogantly.
The other four children were a little scared when they saw their father’s grim expression, so they turned around and ran toward the kitchen.
As soon as Gavin saw his siblings escape, he also followed them.
Benjamin’s brows creased into a frown, and he felt more dissatisfied.
Although Ethen wanted to do the same, he did not dare to move because Benjamin’s aura was too intimidating.
When he took a quick look at the man, he happened to meet the latter’s cold gaze and gulped in fear.
“Do I look scary?” asked Benjamin coldly.
Ethen smiled dryly and mused inwardly, Mr. Graham, so you know that you’re scary?
“Maybe the children aren’t familiar with you yet, so they’re a little scared to see you.”
While observing Benjamin’s reaction, he continued, “You can smile at them. You’ll look much kinder!”
Benjamin knitted his brows tightly. Those kids are so timid?
Then, he glared at Ethen and uttered, “Gavin also ran away!”
That’s because you always look angry. Of course, everyone will be scared. Regardless of how he felt, Ethen still offered his boss some words of comfort.
“Maybe Gavin is afraid that you’ll scold him.”
Benjamin snorted coldly, obviously not buying it. “Get him here!”
That woman knows I’m here, but she’s still hiding in the kitchen.
At that instant, he could feel his rage building.
As soon as the five children entered the kitchen, they called out, “Mommy!”
When Arissa saw the little ones gathering in the kitchen, she glanced at the living room.
“What’s wrong?” She caressed their heads.
“Mommy, Benjamin’s expression is scary!” exclaimed Jesse with a sullen face.
Arissa was amused by her reaction and comforted, “If you’re scared, then don’t go over.”
“Okay.” Jesse nodded vehemently. Daddy isn’t nice at all. As expected, Mommy is the best.
“Sweethearts, can you go out and play first? I’m a bit busy.” As Arissa spoke, she looked at the other four elder children.
“Mommy, we want to stay with you!” Zachary replied.
A smile crept on her face. It seems like the kids don’t want to stay with Benjamin. I can even feel his oppressive aura, despite being so far away.
“Then you guys play in the dining room while I cook.”
“Ms. York, are you cooking?” Just then, Ethen came over and greeted Arissa with a smile.
She nodded. “Yes, Mr. Frank.”
“Do you need a hand?” Ethen looked around the kitchen and scrutinized Bradley from head to toe while the latter watched him.
“This is Bradley. Both of us can handle it. You don’t have to help us,” Arissa rejected.
“Gavin, Mr. Graham is looking for you.” Ethen looked at the five children and directed his attention at Gavin.
However, the boy only snorted in return.
Looking at Gavin, who was throwing a tantrum, Arissa let out a sigh.
“Gavin?” Ethen was at a loss as he stared at the boy pitifully.
In the end, Gavin gave in and walked toward the living room after taking a quick look at Ethen.
The latter immediately smiled and asked the other four children, “What are your names?”
“I’m Zachary York,” responded Zachary while staring at him.
Ethen raised his brows and wondered to himself, the little girl I saw back then was him in disguise?
“You’re so cute!”
Do I? There must be something wrong with his eyesight. Zachary was puzzled.
Subsequently, Ethen looked at the other three children, trying to identify them.
“Mr. Frank, I’m Oliver!” Oliver introduced himself with a smile. His eyes lit up.
“Mr. Frank, I’m Jasper. We’ve met before.”
Jasper also looked at Ethen with a grin on his face.
