You More Than Anything In The World

Chapter 44 Leaving This House After Eating

With a crisp crack, the lock instantly dropped.

At that, Jasper was utterly stunned, hiding under the blanket.

He could not help but wonder what made that sound.

The next second, he heard the door opening, followed by footsteps approaching.

Jasper twitched his lips. Did Benjamin break the door?

Looking at Jasper, who was under the blanket, Benjamin went to sit beside his bed.

As he pulled the blanket away, he saw Jasper freezing upon seeing him. Benjamin almost lost himself seeing his cute expression.

Jasper became aware of Benjamin's gaze and quickly pulled up the blanket.

He turned over and scoffed aloud.

Seeing that, Benjamin raised his eyebrows and gently patted the blanket.

"You don't feel like eating ice cream anymore?" asked Benjamin.

Upon listening to that, Jasper did not utter a single word.

As Benjamin looked at Jasper, he felt bad out of a sudden.

"Do you miss your mommy?" he asked gently.

Still, Jasper stayed silent.

"All right, I will bring her here right now."

"No! I don't want to see her!" Jasper covered himself with the blanket and shouted at Benjamin as soon as he heard the latter mentioning Danna. "Why?" asked Benjamin confusedly.

He was puzzled as Gavin had never thrown a tantrum like this, even when he disliked Danna previously.

Is it really like what Edwin said? Was this kid triggered?

Jasper rolled his eyes at Benjamin, who clearly did not get his clue. He then wrapped himself with the blanket again out of annoyance.

"Are you trying to get her here to punish me?"

What a vicious woman! She has already punished Gavin many times before this.

"Don't worry. She won't dare to do that now. I'm here to protect you," Benjamin said grimly. "Come out of the blanket! I will never ask her to come if you don't want to see her. If you ever want to see her, you car always ask Edwin to phone her anytime!"

Hearing that, Jasper let out a light snort. Clearly, he was satisfied with such an ending.

However, he was still hiding under the blanket.

"Don't eat too much junk food!" urged Benjamin while setting the ice cream down.

He knew the boy did not want to get out of his bed.

"Tell Edwin to cook something for you if you feel hungry. Don't eat so many snacks. It's not good for your health!" stated Benjamin.

He then rubbed Jasper's head gently.

After waiting for a little while, he decided to leave the room since Jasper was still mad at him.

Let's wait for him to cool off.

As Jasper heard the door close, he removed the blanket and took a peek at the door.

Abruptly, his eyes shone when he saw the ice cream on the bedside table.

He immediately got up and grabbed the ice cream. Sitting up on the bed, he began to enjoy his ice cream. "Don't think that I will forgive you for being mean! I'll be leaving this house once I'm done eating!" he growled.

Upon listening to that, Benjamin, who was still standing at the door, let out a chuckle.

After walking downstairs, he asked the butler to guard the door and not let Jasper leave the room.

He needed to make sure that Jasper would not leave the house by all means.

As Jasper was eating the ice cream, he felt delighted.

Since he had received no news on his phone yet, he decided to make a call again.

Not only did he call Zachary, but he also called Gavin, Oliver, and Jesse.

However, no one answered.

He furrowed in response.

Why aren't any of them picking up my call?

Meanwhile, Arissa followed Robert to the finance department and paid the enrolment fees for the kids.

She could feel her heart aching for a little since a few hundred thousand was a pretty considerable amount, and the fees needed to be paid in full at the beginning of the school year. The fees included everything. Thus, she did not have to pay for anything else anymore.

"Let's have a look at the classrooms!" said Robert while grinning as he walked out of the finance department.

"Sure!" Arissa nodded with a polite smile.

At that, all her children ran to her and asked, "Mommy, are you done?"

"Mr. William said he wants to take us to the classrooms. Let's go!"

With that, she and her kids followed Robert to have a look at the classrooms.

It seemed like Robert got along pretty well with the kids. Not only did they go to the classrooms, but they also went to the function rooms and the dorms.

Just the tour alone took about an hour.
