Chapter 107: Chapter 107

Chapter 107 I Heard Children Meanwhile, the kids inside the room exchanged glances, their bowls long empty.

“I need to pee now!”

Jesse, who couldn’t bear it any longer, declared to her brothers.

“Hold it in for a little more while, okay?” Jasper patted her head in a pacifying manner.

Pouting in annoyance, Jesse complained, “Why is Daddy taking so long? When is he going to leave?”

As they were not supposed to meet their father, Jesse’s only hope now was for him to leave as soon as possible so that she could go relieve herself.

“He should be going soon!” Oliver tried to soothe Jesse as well.

Clasping her belly, Jesse paced back and forth in the room uneasily.

Seeing that she was at her wit’s end, Zachary whispered, “Go pee at the balcony, then.”

“Huh?”

Jesse was taken aback by his suggestion. She looked hesitant.

“Right. Just go pee at the balcony. We’ll clean that up later.”

Then, Jasper leaped off the bed and led her to the balcony.

“Hurry up!” Jasper urged her as he stood guard at the entrance of the balcony, his back against her.

Despite being afraid of darkness, Jesse steeled herself as she hastily peed at the drain hole in a corner of the balcony.

After she was done, she hurriedly pulled up her pants as she looked around the space, afraid that someone might see her. Her face was blushing from embarrassment.

“Jasper, I’m done!”

“All right. Come on in!” Jasper whispered.

After Jesse re-entered the room, Jasper and Oliver took turns to relieve themselves. They had too much soup earlier and had been resisting the urge for quite some time too.

After that, the four children sat on the bed idly and waited some more.

Holding onto the laptop, they silently monitored the surveillance footage of the trio having dinner outside.

“Wow, it’s Daddy!” Jesse exclaimed in surprise as she saw Benjamin, who bore an uncanny resemblance to her brothers.

Oliver covered her mouth immediately. “Shh!”

Meanwhile, at the dining table, Benjamin looked sideways at the room with the closed door.

Arissa heard Jesse as well. Her heart racing, she attempted to divert Benjamin’s attention with a question. “Mr. Graham, are you done with your meal?”

Benjamin turned to look at her.

Arissa was somewhat diffident as she met Benjamin’s deep gaze.

Not intending to let her slide, Benjamin countered with another question, “Is there anyone else in your house?”

“Not at all. Why do you ask, Mr. Graham?”

Arissa looked straight into his eyes, grinning.

Benjamin narrowed his eyes. “I could have sworn I heard a child’s voice just now!”

Arissa gulped nervously. Nevertheless, she forced a smile and said, “My children are not home, Mr. Graham. Perhaps it was one of the neighbor’s kids. My place is not exactly soundproof, so sometimes you can hear them quite clearly.”

Benjamin shot her a glance and turned to his son, who was still enjoying dinner. Then, he wiped the corner of his mouth and voiced, “Take your time.

I’ll be waiting in the living room.”

Then, Benjamin got to his feet and made his way to the living room. At the same time, Arissa breathed a sigh of relief.

“Mommy, you don’t have to be scared of Daddy!” Gavin uttered jokingly when he saw Arissa’s change in demeanor.

Arissa pinched Gavin’s nose. “I’m not scared!”

The More the Merrier Chapter 106 EX-husband Groveling to Me Chapter 730 Let Victor Shoot For You She was just worried that Benjamin might find out about the kids.

“Here, have another one of these.”

Arissa placed another piece of steak on Gavin’s plate.

“Mommy, I’m full. You can save this for the others.”

Gavin had already eaten a fair bit. At the thought of his starving siblings, he could not help feeling guilty.

“That’s all right. Eat up. I’ll make some more for them later!” Arissa whispered.

At her words, Gavin flashed a smile before gulping down some more food.

Meanwhile, Benjamin sat in the living room, gazing at the two rooms that were tightly shut. He shifted his gaze toward the duo who were having a great time at the dining table.

Suddenly, an indescribable warm feeling arose in his heart, as if he was watching his wife and son having a meal together.

While Arissa was not paying attention, Benjamin got to his feet, crossed the living room and promptly opened the door to the first room.

It turned out to be Arissa’s bedroom. He was instantly hit by the woman’s familiar fragrance. He could not hold himself back from taking a few deep breaths of that sweet scent.

Benjamin looked around and noticed that the room was decorated in pink hues and filled with a feminine charm. It seemed rather warm and cozy.

I didn’t expect her to be so girly at heart.
