Chapter 412 Jesse Keeps A Lookout The five little ones returned to their room and locked the door at once.
After putting down their bags, they started their computers and began their investigation at once.
Meanwhile, Darius was downstairs helping with dinner preparation.
One hour had gone by before he realized that he had not seen the kids for a while.
Hmm... Where are Gavin and the other kids? Could they be upstairs disturbing their mommyâs rest? Iâll head up and have a look.
When Darius headed upstairs, the five little ones were still in their room, concentrating intently on checking the surveillance footage.
âGuys, this car looks very suspicious!â
Oliver sensed something amiss with a car that he was tracking.
At once, Gavin, Zachary, Jasper, and Jesse inched over, staring at Oliverâs computer screen.
âZoom in on the personâs face,â Zachary instructed at once, frowning deeply.
Oliver immediately did as told, but they were still unable to see the personâs face clearly.
âContinue tracking this car,â Zachary said before returning to his own computer to track down other cars.
Darius headed to Benjaminâs bedroom first. When he saw that Arissa was still asleep, he did not enter the room.
âBenjamin, is Issa not done with her IV drip treatment yet?â
When Benjamin heard his fatherâs voice, he looked up at the older man and replied, âJust a while more.â
âIs she feeling better?â Darius asked in concern.
âYes,â Benjamin replied before continuing, âDad, you should go back first. Donât worry about her.â
Darius pressed his lips together and said, âIâm not going back yet. Iâm having dinner here. Anyway, Iâll go take a look at my sweethearts now.â
After saying that, he left and headed toward the childrenâs room.
When he tried to open the door, he realized that the room was locked.
âSweethearts, what are you guys doing inside the room?â Darius called out while knocking on their door.
Immediately, the five little ones widened their eyes and stopped whatever they were doing.
âItâs Grandpa!â the kids whispered to each other in unison.
The next moment, they minimized the windows on their computer desktops.
âJesse, go and play with Grandpa. We need more time to investigate,â Zachary said to his sister as the girl was not proficient with working with computers.
Jesse pouted and replied, âBut I want to investigate too!â
âYou donât know how to do it. So just leave it to us. Weâll let you know once we find something,â Jasper said, dragging Jesse toward the door.
âIf you donât go downstairs with Grandpa, we canât do anything with him around. Youâre in charge of distracting him.â
Jesseâs eyes lit up as she replied, âDonât worry, Jasper. leave that to me!â
Immediately after, she ran to open the door.
Before Darius could take a clear look at the situation inside the room, Jesse had already slipped out through the door before shutting it behind her.
âGrandpa, Iâm so hungry. Is there anything to eat?â Jesse said, blinking her eyes while hugging her grandfatherâs leg.
Dariusâ heart melted at once when he saw his adorable granddaughter. He bent down and picked the girl up before pinching her cheeks affectionately.
âYes, thereâs food downstairs. Come, Iâll bring you down to eat something. Letâs call your brothers along.â
Just when Darius was about to open the door, Jesse put her arms around his neck and gave him a peck on his cheek.
âGrandpa, they are busy studying now. Iâll bring them some food after I finish eating! Letâs go now, Iâm famished!â
Darius was unable to resist the girlâs cuteness and replied, âSure! We can go first then!â
With that, he carried his granddaughter downstairs to get food.

âSlow down. Thereâs still a lot more.â
âI want to finish eating quickly so that I can bring some for my brothers.â
Darius could never get tired of hearing Jesseâs sweet voice.
âJust stay here. Iâll bring some food for them instead,â he said gently while stroking her head.
