Chapter 132 My Son Is With Your Kid

Benjamin sent someone to pick up the kids. Does that mean he's bringing all of them here? There are four. Even if only one is being brought here, he will definitely replace out.

"Really? Why do I feel that you're lying?" Benjamin's gaze was piercing as he stared at her.

Arissa was at a loss for words.

Suddenly, Edwin walked in with a tray full of food. "Ms. York, please have some snacks," he said as he placed the tray on the table. "Have you had dinner? I can prepare some delicious dishes for you."

It was hard for Arissa to decline when met with such an enthusiastic person. She nodded and said, "Please. Thank you."

"You're welcome!" Edwin bowed and turned to Benjamin. "Mr. Graham, would you like to have dinner as well?”

"Yes." Benjamin nodded.

Edwin bowed and left the living room to prepare.

Arissa stared at the exquisite snacks on the tray and stole a glance at Benjamin.

Seeing him occupied with his phone, she leaned forward, took a snack, and munched on it.

She also took out her phone and noticed that Zachary had sent her a message: Mommy, are you not done with work yet?

Arissa's lips curved into a smile as she typed in a reply.

Benjamin glanced at her. "Don't play with your phone if you're eating."

Her hand trembled, and the phone slid out of her grip, falling onto the floor.

She quickly bent down to pick it up.

Benjamin's lips curved to form a small smile as she returned to her previous posture after picking up her phone.

"Are you nervous?"

Arissa turned to look at an expressionless Benjamin, unable to figure out what he was thinking.

"N-No, I'm fine..." She smiled awkwardly.

Benjamin nodded and leaned forward to pour a glass of water before giving it to her.

"Do you think the person I sent will be able to pick up your kid?" he asked, his gaze piercing into her soul.

On the surface, she received the glass with both hands and politely muttered, "Thank you." However, in her mind, she was panicking.

"Thank you for your concern, Mr. Graham, but my child is with my friend. How about you have the person you sent bring Gavin home instead?" She felt Benjamin was being weird, but she just couldn't put a finger as to why.

Benjamin calmly replied, "My son is with your kid."

Uh...

She pretended to be shocked. "What a coincidence! Are they classmates? I didn't know that."

He frowned at her fake expression and scoffed. What wonderful acting. Why isn't she honest with me after all that has happened?

"They go to the same school," Benjamin replied harshly as he tapped his forefinger on his thigh.

The sight of him was intimidating. Arissa couldn't help but gulp and bring the glass to her lips to take a sip.

Oh gosh, my heart is beating is so fast. He couldn't have found out, could he?

"How did you know that, Mr. Graham?"

Benjamin's eyes flickered upon that question, and he immediately glared at her. "Arissa, just how long are you going to spin your lies?" Her heart skipped a beat.

She did not know what to answer, as she wasn't sure what he was referring to.

"Mr. Graham, I really do not know what you mean," she said carefully, not wanting to upset him further.

"Do you not have anything else to say to me?" he asked through clenched teeth, seeing that she was still playing dumb.

"E-Excuse me?"

She wasn't sure if he had found out about the kids and didn't dare to bring it up to him first.

His expression darkened, and his aura turned cold.

She was sitting at the other end of the couch, thinking of what to say or do next.

His eyebrows knitted together, rage building up in him.

He hated seeing her being like this. Without saying a word, he got up and headed toward his study.

Arissa let out a breath that she didn't know she was holding. She calmed herself down by munching on a few more snacks and proceeded to call her son.

Zachary picked up the phone quickly.

"Mommy, what time are you coming home?"

"Um..." Arissa felt guilty.

"Sorry, Sweetheart. I can't go home yet. I'm at Gavin's house. Is Gavin with you all?" She asked in a low tone.

"Yeah, we're together. Mr. Hinton is here too. Mommy, why are you at Gavin's house?"

"I can't explain it through the phone, but I got into some trouble." She sighed. "Someone is going to pick up Gavin later. Can you please do Mommy a favor and tell them that the rest of you are staying with Mr. Hinton?"
