Chapter 117 Jesse Refuses To Get Up

In the end, Benjamin only fell asleep after squeezing into Gavin's bed.

Gavin rubbed his eyes in surprise when he woke up in the middle of the night and saw Benjamin beside him.

Why is Daddy sleeping here? Gavin was puzzled.

Thinking that he was dreaming, he reached out and poked Benjamin's cheek.

Benjamin woke up the moment Gavin touched his cheek.

He opened his eyes and asked sleepily, "Why are you awake?'

"Daddy, why are you in my room?" Gavin asked after confirming that he was not dreaming.

"I'm accompanying you." There was no change in Benjamin's handsome face.

Gavin pursed his lips. He came to accompany me when I was already asleep?

Gavin turned around and got off the bed.

"Where are you going?" Benjamin's brows furrowed.

"I need to pee." Gavin glanced at him then headed to the bathroom.

Benjamin waited for Gavin to return before also making a trip to the bathroom. When he returned, Gavin was still awake.

"Daddy, are you having trouble sleeping?" Gavin asked sleepily.

Benjamin simply answered, "Go to sleep."

Gavin glanced at Benjamin, yawned and adjusted the blanket before closing his eyes and falling asleep.

Benjamin laid down beside him and hugged him as he listened to his deep and regular breathing.

Gavin's milky scent reminded him of her.

She had the same scent on her body.

Benjamin fell asleep unknowingly as he listened to Gavin's even breathing.

The next day, Arissa woke up early.

She left some oatmeal porridge to simmer before going back to sleep.

At the Graham residence, Benjamin woke up naturally.

He washed up and went for a run.

When he returned, Gavin was already dressed and carrying his schoolbag, prepared to leave.

Benjamin frowned. "You're going to school so early?"

"I promised Mommy that I would go to her place to have breakfast," Gavin said with his head tilted back as he looked at Benjamin.

Benjamin's eyes flashed as he said, "I'll send you there."

With that, Benjamin headed upstairs.

Gavin turned to look at Benjamin heading up the stairs. Does Daddy want to go to Mommy's place with me?

Gavin giggled as he headed back into the house. He sat in the living room and waited for Benjamin.

In less than five minutes, Benjamin returned and dressed in a suit.

His hair was slicked back, making him look particularly handsome.

Every gesture gave off an air of nobility.

Gavin could not help but admire him.

"Gavin, let's go," Benjamin called out to Gavin.

Gavin smiled and went to him.

"Mr. Graham, aren't you and Gavin having breakfast?" Edwin hurried over and asked when he saw that they were neatly dressed and about to leave.

"No, we're not. We'll have our breakfast somewhere else," Benjamin answered and left with Gavin.

Edwin thought that Benjamin was bringing Gavin to have breakfast at a restaurant and smiled.

The amount of time they spent together had increased quite a fair bit recently.

Arissa had set an alarm. When the alarm rang, she immediately got up and went to the kitchen to check on the oatmeal porridge. Then, she started preparing more food for breakfast.

As the children were all growing, she did not make breakfast a simple affair. She prepared a large amount of food with balanced nutritional value.

Once breakfast was done, she woke the children up.

Jesse was not a morning person. Even after all of her brothers were up, she still refused to get up.

"Sweetheart, wake up." Arissa patted Jesse's butt gently.

"Mommy, I don't want to go to school. I want to sleep!" Jesse whined, refusing to get up.
