Chapter 45 Call From Jasper

“Ms. York, would you like the kids to be placed in separate classes based on their interest or to put them all together? Not only do we help the kids to develop their interests, but we also give them the chance to work on what they are lacking. So, don’t worry!” explained Robert, trying to ease Arissa’s mind.

“Then, I think it’s better for them all to be placed in one class. Their interests are pretty much the same!”

Arissa was worried about leaving Jesse alone without her brothers.

It occurred to her that Jesse would probably not get used to being alone in a class.

“Sure, I’ll let the teachers know that!”

After discussing the rest with Robert, Arissa bid him farewell and left.

“Then, we’ll leave now. See you, Mr. William! Come on, sweethearts, say goodbye to Mr. William!”

“Goodbye, Mr. William!”

Four of them waved goodbye to Robert.

“Goodbye, kids. I really like them!” praised Robert while smiling at Arissa.

Upon listening to that, Arissa nodded with a wide smile on her face. She then left the school together with the kids.

“Kids, how do you like your new school?” asked Arissa.

Jesse beamed. “It’s great! There are a lot of flowers!”

Hearing that, Arissa smiled and looked at the others.

Zachary, Oliver, and Gavin let out a smile. “Same here!”

Arissa checked the time. She thought it was still early since it was only five. So, she decided to go to Yaleview.

“Okay, my sweethearts, I’m going to send you guys back to the neighborhood entrance. You guys go home first. Mommy has something to do,” said Arissa to her kids.

“What happened, Mommy? Can’t you do it tomorrow? It’s getting late,” asked Zachary as he turned to look at Arissa.

“My boss wants me to set up the surveillance camera system at his house,” said Arissa.

With that, Oliver chimed in, “Mommy, I think your boss is making you work overtime!”

“Yes! Mommy, why don’t you go tomorrow? It’s already late now,” Gavin suggested.

Gavin had a feeling that there were other intentions behind Benjamin’s invite.

After what Zachary did to the surveillance cameras the day before, he thought that Benjamin might be suspecting Arissa, hence asking her to come over to his house.

Mommy is going to see Jasper if she went there!

“Mommy, can you go tomorrow?” asked Jesse while raising her head to look at Arissa.

Arissa looked at them and smiled. “But I need to go today. I need to keep my promise, but I’ll be back in no time. There’s some bread if you guys are hungry. I’ll cook for you guys after I’m back, okay?”

In fact, she did not want to delay any longer but to find out what was going on there.

After sending the kids to the neighborhood entrance and seeing them go into the house, Arissa took a taxi to Yaleview.

The driver took a meaningful glance at the rearview mirror after he heard that Arissa wanted to head to the Graham residence.

Meanwhile, the kids obediently went back home.

As soon as they reached home, Oliver pulled out his phone and saw that Jasper had called moments ago.

“Jasper called me!” he shouted.

At that, Zachary and Gavin looked at him.

Jesse asked puzzledly, “Isn’t Jasper here with us? Why did he call you?”

Oliver looked at her confused look and patted her head gently. “I was just joking. Go watch TV!”

Despite feeling that something was up, Jesse did not think too much and went to the couch to watch TV.

At this moment, Gavin and Zachary also noticed that Jasper had just called them.

“Is he in trouble?” Oliver asked.

It was then that Jesse realized Jasper called her too. She swiveled around and leaned against the couch.

“Jasper, why did you call me too?” she asked. Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.

All the other three looked at each other in blank dismay.

Gavin explained hurriedly, “I must have accidentally pressed the call button.”

Jesse did not suspect anything but turned around to continue watching the cartoon on TV.

The other three exchanged looks with each other and walked toward the room.
