You More Than Anything In The World

Chapter 41 Exposed

Arissa handed the completed forms to Robert. "Mr. William, please check and see if I missed out anything."

"Sure!" Robert handed it over and had a look. "This column here about their father..."

Gavin tugged Robert's pants at once and said, "Mr. William, my Daddy's status is so special that we cannot simply write his name here!"

His words had broken Arissa's heart. "Kids, shall you all wait outside for me?"

The four kids exchanged looks as they saw that she had something to discuss with Robert.

"All right, Mommy. We shall wait for you outside!" Zachary took the lead to leave the room with Oliver and Jesse following him.

Robert realized that Gavin was glancing at him. He understood what he meant at once and waved back at him, ensuring him to leave the room with no worries.

"Mommy, we are leaving!"

"Okay!" Arissa waited for them to leave before explaining her situation to Robert. "Mr. William, I brought them up on myself. As for their father, I'm really sorry that I have to leave it blank." Robert nodded and said, "It's fine. I'm just asking!"

"Thank you." Upon seeing Robert was sensible and did not ask any further, Arissa breathed a sigh of relief.

Robert browsed through the other parts of the form. "All right, there is nothing wrong with the rest."

"That's good. Let me express my gratitude in advance for taking care of my four children in school."

"It's nothing. They may start studying tomorrow. We start our lesson at eight o'clock in the morning and dismiss at half-past three in the afternoon."

Arissa nodded. "Shall I pay their fees now?"

"It's up to you." Robert smiled.

"Then, we shall make it today."

"Sure! Let me show you the way."

"Thanks!"

Hence, Arissa followed Robert to the finance department to pay their fees. As she saw the four of them outside, she reminded, "Stay where you are. I will be back soon!"

"Okay, Mommy. Rest assured, we will be waiting for you right here!" replied Zachary.

Robert smiled and praised, "They are all so well-behaved!"

Deep inside, Arissa felt proud of herself. "Although they seldom made me worry about them, they can be naughty sometimes. If they happen to cause any trouble in school, please do not hesitate to give them a scolding."

"It's a good thing kids are active and lively. Don't worry. We will take good care of them here!" Robert preferred energetic kids over quiet ones.

Gavin seems more lively and talkative today. He seldom expresses his thoughts in school before, giving everyone the impression that he dislikes interacting with others. Maybe he is just too lonely. "Say, did Mr. William realize it?" Oliver asked curiously.

Nodding his head, Gavin replied, "Yes, he did. But I've told him not to say anything to Mommy."

"You know, that's quite the coincidence." Zachary was glad at the thought that Jasper was studying in the same school as them. He missed him a lot these days.

"What are you all talking about?" Jesse did not understand a word of them. She tilted her head and wore a confused look.

Oh, how cute she is!

"Nothing at all!" Zachary patted her head. "How many sweets do you have?"

"Hehe! Do you want some? I have quite a lot here. Mr. William's candies are so delicious!" Her eyes sparkled with excitement as she mentioned them. "Let's save it for Mommy!"

"Okay!" Jesse scratched her head confusingly. Strange, what did I want to ask them just now?

Her confused look was so amusing that Gavin chuckled.

"Jesse looks nice in her dress!" Zachary and Oliver exchanged looks and snickered to themselves.

Gavin was puzzled at their act. What are they laughing at?

"Don't you think so?"

"Yup, I agree with you. We really love it when Jesse wears a dress!"

"Jesse is the prettiest child in the world!" Oliver sent flying kisses to her.

Flattered, Jesse sent back her kisses to him.
