Chapter 35 Why Is Benjamin Here

The kids were shocked when they saw how elegant and stunning she looked.

“Wow! You’re so beautiful, Mommy!”

Oliver had a look of admiration on his face. I can just stare at Mommy’s pretty face all day long!

Gavin, too, was stunned by Arissa’s beauty. He could not tear his eyes away from her face.

“Mommy, your fiery red lipstick suits you really well! You look really dashing!” Zachary complimented with a proud look on his face.

“How can I be dashing, Zachary? The correct word should be beautiful.”

Arissa raised her eyebrows haughtily.

Meanwhile, Jesse went up to Arissa and hugged her leg. “As soon as you step outside, there will be plenty of men looking at you, Mommy!”

“Haha!”

However, the reason she had to doll herself up was not to attract male attention, but to appear domineering, as she would be enrolling the children in a prestigious school. If Arissa were to wear something shabby, she could not possibly command presence in front of the elites.

“Let’s go, children! We’re heading to the school now.”

The four children fetched her handbag, keys and high heels.

Finally, the family of five were dressed nicely, ready to head downstairs.

Just when they arrived downstairs, everyone was staring at them, admiring their exceptional appearance and style.

Nevertheless, Arissa was used to the ogles and stares from onlookers. She called to the kids hurriedly, “Stop wasting time! Hurry up!”

I’m walking faster than them in my heels! Why are they lagging so far behind me?

Zachary smiled and pulled his siblings quickly ahead.

“We’re doing it for your image, Mommy! If some handsome guy appears and shows interest in you, it’ll be better for us to keep a distance away from you.”

Arissa pinched Zachary’s nose playfully and said, “What nonsense are you talking about? Stop overthinking things!”

How could they possibly think of setting me up with someone else? Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

Gavin smiled at her. “This buffoon’s just joking with you, Mommy!”

Arissa was confused when she heard Gavin’s sudden name-calling toward Zachary.

“How could you insult your older brother? Did you guys fight?”

“No, we didn’t!” Gavin shook his head.

Upon seeing Zachary’s smug expression, Gavin pursed his lips.

“You should address me by my name!”

Gavin froze after Zachary tapped him on his head.

Who knows, maybe I was born earlier than all of them! It should be me who is the eldest child.

Gavin stared at Zachary.

After seeing them not arguing among themselves, Arissa stopped dwelling on the matter and instructed them to hurry up.

However, just as they were about to step out from the main gate, Arissa spotted Ethen nearby.

In a moment of panic, she turned around and pulled the four children aside to hide.

Oh, my gosh! Why is Ethen here?

Arissa stole a glance toward the entrance and saw the car window behind Ethen was slightly open. She could somehow see a figure sitting inside the car.

Benjamin? Why is he here? Did he come here on purpose, or was it just a coincidence? Have we been exposed?

Arissa’s mind went blank almost instantly. She was in a mess as she did not know how to deal with the situation.

“What’s wrong, Mommy?”

All four kids looked at her with a puzzled face.

It seemed as if they were hiding from crooks.

“Shh!”

Arissa peeked out to monitor the situation and added, “It’s my boss!”

Zachary, Oliver, and Gavin instantly knew she was talking about Benjamin.

Why is Daddy here? Is he looking for Mommy, or did he just happen to come here?

“Mommy, look! Is that Benjamin?”

As Jesse peered out, she saw Ethen instead and mistook him for Benjamin.

Hurriedly, Arissa pulled Jesse back and said in a hushed voice, “That’s not him!”

If they were to walk out of the entrance, Benjamin would definitely notice the children.

Arissa panicked. She had been caught off guard by his sudden appearance.

However, Ethen noticed Arissa from afar and recognized her almost immediately.

“That looks like Ms. York, Mr. Graham!”

Unfortunately for Arissa, Benjamin spotted her as well.

Arissa lives here?

“Did you miss out on any minor details?”

Ethen knew what Benjamin meant with his words. He explained, “Ms. York filled in a different home address in her application form. I’ve checked, and it’s definitely not here.”

Benjamin’s eyes flickered and ordered, “Bring her to me now!”

How dare she fake her home address?

“Yes, Mr. Graham!”

With that, Ethen hurried over and waved at Arissa. “Ms. York!”

Arissa grew frustrated as she saw Ethen walking toward her. She had no choice but to let the kids hide in a corner.
