Chapter 18


    “Mommy, I want to watch you cook!” Gavin said softly, looking at her in eager anticipation. Arissa


    smiled at him in return and said with a gentle voice, “Sure. Sit down aside and don’t stick close to me.


    Watch out for any oil stters.” “Okay!” Gavin was over the moon. He pulled a chair over and sat down


    obediently. “Why did you suddenly want to watch me cook?” Arissa asked. “I want to apany


    Mommy!” Gavin replied while his eyes were glued onto her. Arissa was moved by his reply and smiled


    brightly. Gavin did not get to watch for long before Oliver called him, “Jasper, are you trying to ck


    off? You said that you would sweep the floor! Come out here and start sweeping!” Gavin was startled.


    Oops, I forgot about that. “Mommy, I’m leaving for a moment!” Gavin uttered. Arissa turned around and


    acknowledged him with a smile. Gavin ran out and hurriedly started to sweep the floor. On the other


    hand, Oliver washed the mop and mopped the floor. Meanwhile, Zachary tidied the rooms along with


    Jesse. The four children worked together and busied themselves with chores. Arissa was pleased to


    see them so obedient at such a young age. Without their help to do some of the chores, she would


    have been overwhelmed. Half an hourter, the four children lounged on the sofa watching animations.


    Oliver was browsing through the many channels avable. Suddenly, a news title caught Jesse’s


    attention.


    The child tugged Oliver’s shirt with excitement upon seeing someone that had a simr appearance to


    them. “Go back to the previous channel!” Oliver changed back the channel, but it was toote. Jesse


    was upset. “Why is it gone?” “What’s the matter, Jesse?” Zachary turned his head and asked. “I think I


    saw Daddy just now!” Jesse looked at him in eagerness. That person looks exactly like my


    brothers. Zachary was dumbstruck. Gavin also looked at Jesse. It ismon for Daddy to appear on


    television programs, but he usually hates to do so.

    Why did I not notice him even though I was watching the television too? Jesse tried to convince them.


    “The person was tall and looked handsome. Just like Oliver! It must be our daddy!” Oliver scratched the


    back of his head and frowned. “Why did I not see it?” “Daddy was standing at the back!” Jesse


    described. There was no doubt that the person Jesse saw was Benjamin. It was an opening ceremony.


    The camera happened to catch him in their footage for a second. It was a mere second, and the media


    did not talk about him directly. “You don’t even know who it is, and you’re already iming him as your


    daddy!” Oliver poked Jesse’s head. Jesse dodged him btedly. “Don’t you want to know?” “I do, but


    there are billions of people out there. Besides, the news didn’t mention the event’s location!” Oliver


    pursed his lips.


    They didn’t even know if their father was dead or alive. Zachary and Gavin stared at each other,


    debating if they should tell the others the truth. “That’s enough. Change the channel already. Don’t you


    want to watch television?” Zachary chimed in. Oliver immediately changed the channel, and Jesse


    hugged a cushion happily. Thetter’s favorite animation was on television. “It’s starting! It’s starting!”


    Arissa heard Jesse’s joy from the kitchen and peeked at them. She saw the four siblings watching


    television together and continued checking if the soup was ready. Zachary fished out his phone and


    found Benjamin’s phone number through Gavin’s phone. He then sent Benjamin a message.


    Gavin’s eyes widened. He asked softly, “What are you doing?” “Keep quiet!” Zachary shot Gavin a look


    and nced toward Oliver and Jesse. Gavin silently looked at him in return and noticed that Zachary


    was sending a message as Arissa to request working with Benjamin. Gavin pulled Zachary’s sleeve


    and whispered into Zachary’s ear, “You could have just asked me to rmend Mommy!” Zachary


    was doubtful. “Can Mommy join thepany without his approval?” Gavin frowned and decided to


    discuss it with Ethen. Benjamin soon received a message through his private number. He was


    confused as he opened the message. The message read: My name is Arissa York. I regrettably had to


    leave earlier ording to the wishes of your fiancée.


    Mr. Graham, if you have yet to find a suitable candidate, please consider giving me a chance. I am


    confident that I can handle thepany’s job well! He narrowed his eyes as he read the


    message. How did this woman get my private number? Hmph, does she have other motives? Is she


    coming back to Graham Group because she hit a snag elsewhere? If she really wanted to join Graham


    Group, she shouldn’t have left without leaving any exnation. He texted back: No way! Zachary read


    Benjamin’s reply and became furious. How dare he reject Mommy without giving it any thought. He


    typed another message and sent it in a blink of an eye: You will regret this! Benjamin’s expression


    turned dark after seeing the reply. I’ve never regretted anything in my whole life. Gavin also saw


    Benjamin’s text and sighed.


    Why doesn’t Daddy want to give Mommy a chance? She’s extremely talented! Zachary rushed to his


    room, and Gavin followed him. Oliver did not understand why they were in such a hurry. He followed


    them into the room and saw Zachary turning on hisptop. “What are you doing?” “Shh. I’m going to


    teach someone a lesson!” Zachary pressed his lips together. Gavin could guess what his ns were.


    Zachary could hack someone within seconds just by obtaining their address. His superb hacking skills


    still amazed Gavin. Oliver settled down behind Zachary and asked Gavin, “Who is Zachary dealing


    with?” Gavin replied, “I’ll answer thatter!” Zachary cut off the electric supply at Benjamin’s mansion.


    It was evening, and the mansion needed electricity to light up the area. It turned dark at the mansion,


    so Edwin swiftly headed downstairs to check the electric switches just to find out that they were fine.


    Therefore, he called a repairman to fix the issue. Benjamin frowned as he exited his study. “What’s


    going on?” “The electrical circuit might be broken. We’ll repair it as soon as possible!” Edwin had no


    clue what the problem was. Benjamin was worried that Jasper would be afraid of the dark, so he


    rushed upstairs to Jasper’s room.


    It was at this moment that theputer in his study was hacked. Benjamin saw that Jasper was fast


    asleep and headed back downstairs. Then, he noticed that someone had messed with hisputer.


    The keys were not working at all. With this, he realized that the ckout was not due to pure


    coincidence. “Hehe!” Suddenly, there was a burst of creepyughter from theputer. “You can never


    catch me!”


    On the screen, a few chicks were running around, mocking him. It made Benjamin think of


    Arissa. Haha. She has a few tricks up her sleeve. Is she doing this out of spite because I rejected


    her? Anger surged within him as his face turned icy cold. Now, he wanted to get to know Arissa better.


    He took out his phone and dialed her number, but no one picked up.
