Chapter 419 He Hates People Using Her Name âI only fainted because I got a little too angry, Mommy!â Gavin exclaimed with his face red from embarrassment.
Arissaâs heart softened up a little upon hearing that. âAre you sure youâre not feeling unwell?â
Gavin nodded. âYeah, Iâm sure! How about you, Mommy? Are you feeling better yet?â
Arissa nodded as well. âIâm fine too. Do you want to carry on sleeping?â
Gavin shook his head. âIâm sorry for making you worry, Mommy.â
âItâs okay. Iâm just glad youâre all right,â Arissa said while gently running her fingers through his hair.
She then carried him into the bathroom, sat him down on the chair, and began wiping his face with a wet towel.
âWhere are Zachary and the others, Mommy?â Gavin asked when he realized he hadnât seen everyone else.
âTheyâre playing with your grandpa downstairs,â Arissa replied while washing her face.
âIâll go find them then, Mommy,â Gavin said as he turned around and ran out of the room.
Arissa paused briefly in surprise, only to shake her head with a smile as she didnât think much about it.
She saw Benjamin busily working on something when she came out of the bathroom, but she called out to him anyway, âIâll be heading downstairs now, okay?â
Benjamin simply looked up at her and nodded before getting back to work.
Arissa then followed Gavin down the stairs, and everyone came rushing over the moment they saw him.
âPlease donât scare me like that ever again, Gavin! I donât think my heart can take much more of this shock!â Shaun exclaimed as he gave Gavin a quick examination.
Gavin simply nodded at him in response.
âAre you all right?â Zachary asked worriedly.
âYeah, Iâm fine now. Looks like I really scared you guys, huh?â Gavin said apologetically.
âYes, you did! You just stopped moving all of a sudden! Zachary was so scared that he started crying!â Jasper replied with a mischievous smile.
Zachary burned bright red from embarrassment upon hearing that. âYouâre the one who started crying first!â
âExactly! Jasper had snot all over his face!â Oliver chimed in as well.
Darius, Shaun, and Edwin had smiles on their faces when they saw the kids having fun again.
âOld Mr. Graham,â Arissa greeted as she made her way over.
âAre you feeling better? Go on and have a seat in the living room,â Darius said as he continued to cook in the kitchen with an apron on.
This was the first time she had seen him looking like this.
âIâm feeling much better now, Old Mr. Graham. Why donât you go play with Gavin and the others instead? Iâll do the cooking.â
She couldnât bring herself to let an elder do the cooking while she rested on the sidelines.
âNo, that wonât be necessary. Edwin and I can handle this on our own. The kids were depressed because you and Gavin fell ill, so you should spend more time with them instead,â Darius said while waving at her.
Arissa shifted her gaze toward the kids in the living room upon hearing that.
All five of them quickly looked away when they noticed her staring at them.
Thinking they were just embarrassed to admit it, Arissa simply smiled at them without thinking too much about it.
Unbeknownst to her, the kids were actually feeling guilty about keeping a secret from her.
âWhy donât you stop worrying and just go play with them, Mrs. Graham?â Shaun suggested as he joined Darius and Edwin in the kitchen.
âShaun, you need to stop calling me âMrs. Graham.â Just address me by my name,â Arissa protested helplessly.
âWell, Benjamin doesnât seem to mind, so why are you complaining? In fact, he hates it when I address you by your name,â Shaun replied with a chuckle.
As if they had just discovered a huge secret, the kids stared wide-eyed at them upon hearing that.
Arissa cleared her throat awkwardly and said in her most casual tone possible, âThatâs his business then, not mine!â
