Chapter 20
Zachary was eating his meal, and his eyes flashed when he heard the alarm on his phone.
"Mommy, I'll leave for a second!"
With that, he left his chair and ran to his phone.
When he saw someone checking his data, he narrowed his eyes, used his hacking technique, and attacked directly.
In the blink of an eye, all the information about him was erased.
"Sweetheart, what's going on?" Arissa turned around and looked at her son. She wondered what he was doing, not coming to dinner.
"Mommy, give me a second!" After making sure the other party could not find any information on him, he then only walked over to Arissa.
When she saw Zachary being mysterious, she laughed. "What are you doing?"
"Nothing. A friend was looking for me to play a game, and I replied him!" replied Zachary calmly.
Gavin looked at Zachary and immediately knew something was wrong.
Arissa also looked at him and smiled. Without questioning him any further, she gave each of the four children chicken wings before giving herself one.
"Hurry up and eat! Eat up before you play!"
"Mommy, your cooking is so delicious!" Gavin ate happily. He liked the food very
much.
Arissa was in high spirits from her son's praises. With a loving smile, she said, "Eat more if it's good!"
Seeing the children enjoying their food, she put on a satisfied expression.
Meanwhile, over at Yaleview, Ethen saw that the information screen was suddenly blank. He furrowed his brows, searched again, and found that the information had become garbled. What's going on? D*mn! This person has some skills.
It ended up a fruitless search, and his phone was dead too. Ethen was astonished and reported to Benjamin.
"Mr. Graham, this person's techniques are definitely better than mine. The information I just found out is all messed up."
Benjamin narrowed his eyes and was even more puzzled. Who is this person? What is he trying to do?
"Keep tracking that guy!"
"Yes!" Ethen did not dare to be sloppy.
"Daddy..."
Suddenly, a soft voice sounded from the doorway, and Benjamin's cold, stern face softened as he stood up and walked out.
Jasper stood outside the study, rubbing his eyes. He had just woken, and his sleepy look was too adorable.
Ethen liked Jasper a lot. He waved and greeted him, "Jasper!"
Jasper lifted his head and looked at him. His little face showed a smile. "Mr. Frank!"
Ethen smiled dotingly at him.
Benjamin lifted Jasper up and touched his face. "Do you still want to sleep?"
"I don't want to sleep. I'm hungry!" Jasper glanced at Benjamin and answered languidly.
Deep in his heart, he was very nervous. I just came downstairs and heard that
Benjamin was going to investigate Zachary. That's very strange. Why does Daddy want to check on him? Does he already know that Mommy gave birth to them? Benjamin met Jasper's eyes as he eyed him. He raised an eyebrow and carried him over to the dining room.
"Why are you staring at me like that?" he asked.
Jasper lowered his head and leaned against his shoulder. That action was like proof of
his shyness, and it made Benjamin feel his heart soften.
He rarely does that. That's pretty cute.
When they reached the dining room, Benjamin sat Jasper down on a chair, got a towel, and cleaned his face.
Then, he wiped his little hands.
Jasper stared at Benjamin and rejoiced in his heart. Daddy is so good to me.
Edwin served the soup to the father and son.
"Let's eat. Be careful. It's hot!" reminded Benjamin before digging in as well.
Jasper looked over to the study and whispered, "Won't Mr. Frank be eating with us?"
Benjamin frowned when he heard that. This boy is pretty good to Ethen. He glanced at Edwin and ordered, "Get Ethen over here!"
"Yes, Mr. Graham!" Whereupon, the butler went over and called Ethen.
Delighted to learn that he was invited to dinner, Ethen hurriedly came out of the study.
He said joyfully, "Mr. Graham, how do you know I haven't eaten yet?"
Benjamin gave the talkative assistant a cold look and said in a light voice, "It's my son who sent for you!"
Ethen's eyes lit up. He walked over, hugged Jasper, and chirped cheerfully, "Thank you, Jasper."
The delighted assistant then sat down next to Jasper and put some food on the child's plate. "Jasper, you slept for quite long, didn't you?"
"Well, someone scolded me. I felt terrible, so I slept more," answered Jasper piteously.
Ethen was shocked and angrily retorted, "Who scolded you? Tell me, and I'll teach that bully a lesson!"
Jasper pouted and glanced at him. He treats me so well, and it's genuine kindness toward me, unlike that woman. She always mistreats me behind their back. "That woman!" Jasper huffed.
On
Benjamin looked at his son. He does not even call her Mommy.
Ethen, not knowing who it was, looked at them. "What woman had the guts to scold vou? Tell me, Jasper. I'll teach her some manners."
Benjamin glanced at Ethen before looking at Jasper. The sight of Jasper's sad expression made his heart clench.
Ethen noticed that as well. His eyes widened, and he asked again, "Who is that woman?"
Seeing Ethen's indignant look, Edwin glanced at Benjamin and reminded him, "It's Ms. Adams!"
Hearing that, Ethen's gaze moved from Jasper to Benjamin's face. He then gasped a little and swallowed his saliva.
Hearing the unexpected name, Ethen backed away a little and asked, "Why?" She's so strict with him. We can't even bear to scold him.
Despite being furious, Ethen did not dare to speak out of line as he noticed Benjamin's gloomy expression.
Jasper noticed the assistant's meekness and continued, "Mr. Frank, you think she's inconsiderate too, don't you? I know she doesn't like me. Maybe it's because I didn't help her that she pinched me." Ethen's heart ached upon seeing Jasper's sad face. "What does she want you to help her with?"
Jasper looked at Benjamin. "To help ask Daddy to marry her quickly!"
Ethen despised her in his heart. She is so shameless. She even uses a little kid like Jasper to achieve her goals! She is not worthy of Mr. Graham.
However, he didn't dare to speak out these thoughts. Benjamin's face was clearly still frosty, so he sat back down in his seat.
"Eat first!" Benjamin tousled Jasper's head, sounding concerned.
Jasper realized his father had not promised not to marry Danna and kept silent. Does Daddy like that woman that much? If Daddy stays with that woman, what will happen to
Mommy? What about us? After the marriage, Gavin will be even worse off at home. Daddy should never marry that woman.
He then uttered, seemingly disappointed, "Okay..!
Several adults on the scene felt sympathetic looking at his pained expression.
Benjamin's face grew grim, and there was anger in his eyes directed at Danna.
