Chapter 320 Bad Guy
Ethen found it rather strange that he had not seen Jack since he arrived.
Earlier this morning, Jack had called to inform him that he would be making a trip to the house to visit Gavin.
Benjamin frowned and fixed his gaze on Ethen.
“I didn’t see him.”
Ethen blinked, feeling perplexed at the situation.
By right, Jack should have greeted Benjamin when he first arrived at the house.
At that moment, Jack was sitting by the bed and looking at the five little ones with a smile on his face. He would never get tired of looking at them.
Jesse was the first to wake up.
The first thing the little girl saw when she woke up was a strange man with stubble covering his face smiling at her in a scary manner.
Jesse screamed out loud at once.
“Ahh! There’s a bad guy!”
She immediately moved closer to her brothers, waking the four of them up.
“Get away from us!”
Zachary, Jasper, and Oliver moved in front of their sister instinctively while grabbing whatever they could to defend themselves against Jack.
Gavin had also picked up his baseball bat. He was about to swing it at the man when he suddenly realized who it was.
“Uncle Jack?” Gavin steadied the bat in his hands after making sure that it was indeed Jack.
Meanwhile, Jack was slightly taken aback by the girl’s scream earlier on, followed by the boys’ attacking stance toward him.
He finally snapped out of his shock after Gavin called out to him.
The man immediately smiled and greeted Gavin.
“Good morning, Gavin!”
Zachary, Oliver and Jasper glanced at Jack before turning to look at Gavin.
“Do you know him?” the three boys asked in unison.
Before Gavin could answer his brothers’ questions, Jack spoke first.
“Yup, he does. My name is Jack. You guys can just call me Uncle Jack!”
Jack smiled warmly at the children.
However, due to the stubble on his face, he still looked like a perverted bad guy to the kids.
“He’s Uncle Jack. There’s no need to be scared of him!”
Gavin tossed his baseball bat on the floor and started comforting Jesse.
Jesse cast a fearful glance at Jack before inching closer to her brother.
“Gavin, his smile looks so scary! He was staring at me when I opened my eyes just now…”
Gavin patted the little girl’s head and reassured her gently, “Don’t be scared. He’s not a bad guy even though he looks fierce. Both Uncle Jack and Mr. Frank work for Daddy.”
Gavin turned his head and glared at Jack.
“Uncle Jack, you should have told us you were coming. Do you know how scary it was for us to have you appear here suddenly? How could you just sneak into our room unannounced?”
Gavin was rather upset at the man for scaring his sister earlier on.
“Sorry, I overlooked that. Please accept my apologies. You kids are so adorable that I couldn’t take my eyes off you!” Jack replied apologetically.
Zachary, Oliver and Jasper sized the man up quietly.
Even though the man was large in stature, he looked harmless and seemed to be rather dumb.
“If you were not someone we know, we would have given you a good beating! Don’t you dare scare our sister again!” Jasper warned the man fiercely.
“I won’t do it again. Please forgive me!”
Jack tousled the boy’s hair with an affectionate smile on his face, which got him a glare from Jasper.
After patting Zachary and Oliver’s heads as well, Jack asked Gavin, “So, Gavin, are they your younger or elder brothers?”
Gavin glanced at Jack before answering seriously, “They are my younger brothers. I’m the eldest!”
Jack finally understood.
He took the children in his arms and looked at them with fondness.
“Quick, call me Uncle Jack!”
Zachary, Oliver, and Jasper glanced at the man before greeting him obediently.
“Hello, Uncle Jack!”
“Good boys!”
Jack wanted to kiss them on their cheeks, but the little ones turned their faces away in disdain, avoiding the man’s lips.
“Uncle Jack, your stubble is so prickly!”
Oliver stared at Jack wide-eyed. As the boy was not wearing his glasses, he was unable to see the man clearly.
Jack chuckled awkwardly and replied, “I’ll shave later!”
Gavin asked, “Uncle Jack, when did you reach? Did you see my daddy yet?”
