Chapter 891 Address Me As Daddy
Benjamin also straightened Tim’s clothes and gently tidied the boy’s hair. “Remember to stay focused in class. Always follow your brothers closely when you’re in school,” he encouraged.
Tim nodded obediently. “Understood, Mr. Graham!” Upon hearing his words, Benjamin pinched the boy’s cheek affectionately. “You’ve already called Arissa ‘Mommy.’ Can’t you start addressing me as ‘Daddy’?”
Tim pursed his lips and smiled shyly. “Mr. Graham, please don’t fool Tim. We won’t call you ‘Daddy’ unless we approve of you,” Zachary chimed in and snorted.
Benjamin swept a glance at him. Subsequently, he straightened the others’ clothes and bags. “Go in now.” “Goodbye!” The six children bade him farewell. “Goodbye!”
Benjamin’s thin lips quirked slightly as he looked at them dotingly. It looked like he had begun to behave more like a father. Darius was gratified to see the change in his son’s behavior.
Bending down, he said goodbye to the children. “Bye, Sweethearts!”
When the children heard him, they walked to him in a hurry. One after another, they kissed him on his cheek. “Goodbye, Grandpa!”
With that, the children held hands and entered the school together.
Joy appeared in Darius’ eyes as he watched them affectionately.
Meanwhile, Benjamin frowned, feeling a little jealous.
The children kissed Arissa when he sent them to school with her.
That time around, Darius had tagged along, but the kids only kissed their grandfather, not Benjamin.
Benjamin could not help but wonder why he did not deserve pecks on the cheek when he was their father.
“They’re very cute,” Darius commented as he smiled and turned to look at his son.
Benjamin nodded in response. “Let’s go. I’ll send you home.”
“You can go to the office. We’re going to take a stroll around here,” Darius informed, but his actual plan was to sneak into the school and watch his beloved grandchildren in class.
Benjamin shot him a look and warned, “Don’t disturb their studies.”
The elderly man’s expression was solemn. “I know that. We’ll only be taking a stroll in the vicinity. You can leave for the office now!”
After instructing William to take good care of Darius, Benjamin got into the car and drove to the company.
Once Darius confirmed that Benjamin was gone, he smiled.
William approached Darius and asked curiously, “Old Mr. Graham, are we really going to take a stroll?”
With his hands behind his back, the latter exuded an impressive aura.
“Of course! I always keep my words.”
William smiled and accompanied him on a stroll around the school. Soon, they sneaked into the campus and leaned against the classroom window, where they watched the six children intently.
Upon noticing that the other children and the teacher liked the six children very much, Darius was so happy that he grinned from ear to ear.
“Haha! Jesse is dozing off!” he cooed when he saw his granddaughter nodding off. Her action was so endearing that it melted his heart.
He then turned to look at Tim, who was listening to the class earnestly.
Darius felt sorry for him in an instant. “Tim is so focused.”
He noticed that Zachary, Oliver, and Jasper concentrated on the lesson as well.
Gavin, meanwhile, thought that he heard a familiar voice, which prompted him to turn around and look outside.
To his surprise, he caught Darius and William watching them from outside the window, and his eyes widened like saucers.
“Don’t tug at my arm!” Darius protested against William.
He did not want the latter to disturb him from watching his grandchildren.
“Old Mr. Graham, Gavin saw us!”
Darius stopped and tilted his head to look at William, who signaled him to peek inside.
Once he turned around, he immediately met Gavin’s eyes.
There was nothing that Darius could do other than wave at his grandson.
Nevertheless, Gavin averted his gaze. He proceeded to take out his phone and typed a message.
The smile on Darius’ face faded because he thought the boy was ignoring him. It made him slightly anxious.
“Is Gavin upset?” he asked.
“I don’t think so,” William answered and peered through the window.
A moment later, he heard a chime from Darius’ phone.
“Your phone, Old Mr. Graham.”
Darius retracted his gaze and lowered his head to take out his phone.
Gavin texted: Grandpa, please go home. You’ll disturb the others by being here!
Darius smiled before lifting his head.
That was when he realized that not only Gavin had noticed him. Even Zachary, Oliver, and Jasper spotted him as well.
