Chapter 39 Gavin From The Graham Family
Arissa received a message in the car. She took her phone out and realized it was a new number. The message wrote: The Graham residence. The number was not the one Ethen used to contact her. Could this be his other number? She replied: Roger that.
Benjamin, on the other hand, raised his eyebrows at her reply. He stared at the two words longingly. “Head back to Yaleview,” he ordered. Glancing at him through the rear-view mirror, Ethen reminded, “Mr. Graham, you have a must-attend meeting at half-past four later!” “Change the date!” Noticing the commanding tone in Benjamin’s voice, Ethen realized that there was no point arguing with him anymore.
He frowned and changed their direction at the junction, heading to Yaleview. Meanwhile, Arissa had arrived at the school with the four children. After registering at the entrance, the security guard led their way into the school while casting confused looks at the children. Why do I find them so familiar? Gavin noticed the gaze and shot him a piercing look. That intimidated the guard at once, causing him to shift his gaze away quickly.
“Does he know you?” Zachary asked in a soft voice.
“I am a student of here too.”
Zachary gaped in surprise and thought of Jasper instantly. “Is Jasper here too?”
“I don’t think so.” Gavin swept a look at Zachary. “It’s been some time since I last came to school.”
His answer left Zachary dumbfounded.
Wow! So Gavin is not a fan of school either!
Oliver craned his neck and overheard their conversation. “You hate going to school too?” His loud voice had invited their glares at once.
“Hmm? Who does not like school?” Arissa heard him and turned around to face them.
The trio reacted quickly by smiling at her. “Mommy, we love school!”
“Mommy, it’s so pretty here! I like this school’s environment.” Oliver grinned.
Arissa laughed and held Jesse’s hand.
Sure enough, the environment is beautiful here. After all, this is the best school in Dellmoor.
She had a good look around and was satisfied with the surroundings.
The four kids were looking around curiously too. They were amazed by the breathtaking green scenery of the school.
“Mommy, there are so many flowers around!” The colorful flowers caught Jesse’s eye.
Arissa was relieved that her children were fond of the place.
As they arrived at the principal’s office, Robert William, the principal, rose and greeted them warmly.
Arissa had informed him about their arrival before.
“Nice to meet you, Mr. William. I’m Arissa York!” Arissa took off her sunglasses and greeted him with a smile.
“Welcome, welcome!”
“I’m sure you have their profile earlier before. Feel free to test them anything if necessary!” Arissa tugged her children to the front of Robert.
“I’d gone through their profile. They are all outstanding students!” Robert smiled back at her and glanced at the four children.
As he saw the three identical faces, not to mention another little girl who looked alike too, he jolted a bit.
“This…”
“Good morning, Mr. William!” Flustered, Gavin voiced out at once. He took a step ahead with his back facing Arissa and quelled Robert with a look, indicating him to refrain from talking too much.
Naturally, Robert was shocked when he saw Gavin mouthing him to shut up.
Arissa noticed Robert’s bewildered look. She turned tense at once as she was worried that her children had frightened him.
“Mr. William, is there something wrong with them?”
Robert finally came back to his senses upon Arissa’s call. Seeing Gavin’s nervous look, he was confused and astounded at the same time.
I remember this little boy from the Graham family. After all, he gave me a deep impression as Mr. Graham took him here by person last time. Besides, there was no mistaking as he resembled Mr. Graham so much.
“Mr. William?” Arissa called uncertainly, afraid deep inside that he would refuse her children.
“Oh, so they are quadruplets?” Robert shifted his gaze back to her and concealed his bewilderment.
