Chapter 394 Hacking His Phone
Afraid that Benjamin would be angry, Arissa stole a glance at the man and was greeted by the sight of Benjamin’s serious expression.
A large part of her confidence fled her, and Arissa half-whispered, “They didn’t destroy your surveillance system, did they?”
Benjamin shot her a look.
She fell silent.
“Mommy, we didn’t! We just went into the system for the surveillance footage,” Jasper hastily said.
“That’s right. We didn’t do anything. We just took a peek at the information we wanted,” Oliver chimed in.
That made Arissa even more curious. She walked over to her children and crouched down.
“Tell Mommy what were you looking for.”
Promptly, the boys clamped their mouths shut and looked at her guiltily.
Arissa raised a brow.
They’re acting strangely, she thought.
Thus, she lowered her voice and instructed, “Be honest.”
Hearing that, they looked at her before sneaking a glance at Benjamin.
“We just wanted to find out when Danna had brought me back?” Gavin finally whispered.
A shudder wracked Arissa’s body. “Why are you looking into this?”
Benjamin was as confused as she was as he looked at the boys.
After peeking at Arissa, Gavin began worrying his lips.
He then lowered his head and muttered, “We want to help to look for our other brother.”
Brother?
For a moment, Arissa could not decipher what he was talking about.
Zachary then clarified Gavin’s words by saying, “Mommy, we’re just hoping to find that other brother of ours a little faster.”
Arissa stiffened. She was astounded and confounded about how they had found out about it.
Benjamin found it peculiar as well. He turned to Arissa and asked, “Did you tell them about it?”
“No!” Arissa blurted out.
She then ruffled their hair and queried, “How did you find out about this?”
Again, the boys fell silent.
After all, they had found out about it themselves.
“Did you overhear our conversation?”
Benjamin narrowed his eyes at the boys.
“No way!”
Zachary shot him a glare.
“We found out after hacking into your phone,” Gavin confessed as he looked right at Benjamin.
Benjamin raised a brow, thinking, The little punk’s gutsy. I can’t believe he’s hacking into my phone now.
Arissa looked at Benjamin from the corner of her eyes. When she realized that the man had frightened the children, she quickly hugged them.
At the same time, she reminded them, “You can’t hack into people’s phones like this the next time, got it?”
If Arissa had to be honest, sometimes she found the children a little too smart to handle.
The boys nodded. “Okay.”
“Mommy, we were just worried about you. We wanted to know why you were crying,” Oliver quickly explained to Arissa, not wanting to get a scolding from her.
Arissa was relieved by his response.
Ultimately, she was the one at fault.
“Mommy didn’t want to tell you about it because I was scared you’d be overthinking things.”
At that, Zachary’s eyes lit up. “Mommy, did you really have another baby?”
Staring at the enthusiastic boys, Arissa nodded.
“But he’s not your baby brother; he’s your older brother.”
The corner of Zachary’s lips twitched at that.
An older brother? I’m going to be even further down the line?
“Mommy, is he my older brother too?” Gavin quickly asked.
Arissa turned to Gavin and sighed. “I’ve forgotten. I don’t know who’s older and who’s younger.”
Arissa had not even seen her children before they brought her babies away.
“Mommy, why didn’t you tell us about this? Why did you hide this from us? Gavin too!” Oliver complained.
Arissa gave him an apologetic smile. “I didn’t want you to worry.”
Right then, Gavin excitedly asked, “Mommy, does that mean there are six of us?”
Arissa nodded. That was something she was certain of.
“I gave birth to six of you back then.”
The boys chuckled, but in the next second, they sighed.
Where is the brother whom we haven’t met?
“The few of you shouldn’t make things worse. Daddy will find him,” Benjamin warned the children.
“We’ll be able to find him quicker with more help,” Zachary insisted.
He did not think that they were making things worse.
“That’s right. You hid this from us, but we still found out it all by ourselves. This is how capable we are!” Jasper pointed out confidently.
