Chapter 288 Came Home To Visit You
Gavin entered the study and hesitated. After that, he walked to Benjamin’s side.
Sensing that someone had come in, Benjamin lifted his head only to see Gavin.
“You’re back?”
His gaze then fell on the other four kids standing at the door.
“Well? Come on in.”
Zachary, Oliver, Jasper, and Jesse stepped toward them slowly upon hearing that.
“Hello, Mr. Graham!”
Benjamin was rendered speechless by that greeting.
Gavin scanned Benjamin from top to bottom but did not notice any peculiarity on the latter.
“We heard that you’re sick.”
“Benjamin was stunned momentarily before he reached out to stroke Gavin’s head.
“I’m fine.”
“It’s not like I care if you’re fine or not.” Gavin snorted.
“Yes, I know,” Benjamin responded.
Gavin pursed his lips. “Anyway, you look fine to me!”
Benjamin glanced at the boy. “Do you want me not to be fine?”
Gavin bit his lip tightly.
A moment later, Benjamin shifted his gaze toward the other four kids. “Come over to Daddy’s side.”
Even though he was the one who said that he did not want to pick them up earlier, he was still happy to see them.
“Did you get sick because of Mommy?” Zachary asked after he brought his other siblings and approached Benjamin.
Mr. Watts said that Benjamin had an anaphylactic shock. But there doesn’t seem to be anything wrong with him. Did he recover so fast?
“Who told you that?”
Benjamin furrowed his brows.
However, deep down, he was secretly elated that the kids came back to visit him.
“Mr. Watts.”
Oliver locked his eyes at Benjamin.
The kids scanned his entire body and failed to notice any difference.
“It was indeed because of your mommy. But I don’t blame her.”
Benjamin’s heart melted as he looked at the kids.
“Did you come back by yourselves? Or did someone send you here?”
“We wanted to come back ourselves. But Mr. Watts was there, so he sent us here.”
Jasper was curious. “How did Mommy make you sick?”
“The food your mommy cooked was not suitable for me, so I got an allergic reaction from it,” Benjamin explained gently.
Gavin glanced at him. “What did you eat? How come I’ve never seen you having an allergic reaction before? Did you do it on purpose?”
Benjamin raised his brow and looked back at Gavin with a complicated look.
“I ate natto. Have you seen me eat it before?”
Even if I did it on purpose, I wouldn’t eat so much. No one would risk their life like this.
Gavin was stunned momentarily. What exactly is natto?
Zachary and the rest knew what it was, and they had all eaten it before.
“What a shame. Mommy is good in cooking that.”
Zachary was somehow delighted. “Well, since Mr. Graham is fine, let’s go find Mommy now!”
He waved his hand, and right away, Oliver, Jasper, and Jesse followed him.
Gavin wanted to go too, but Benjamin grabbed his sleeve.
He then turned toward the other four kids and uttered, “Your mommy’s resting. Please don’t wake her.”
The four kids turned around. “Got it!”
Gavin struggled while growling, “Let go of me!”
Benjamin scooped Gavin up and placed the boy on his thigh.
They looked into each others’ eyes.
“Are you still mad at me?”
Benjamin’s tone was gentle as his heart ached while staring at the stubborn kid before him.
“Hmph!” Gavin evaded his gaze.
Benjamin patted his head fondly while uttering in a soft tone, “You’re the big brother now. So please set a good example. You don’t want to become a joke to your siblings now, do you?”
