Chapter 383 Will Not Tell Mommy Our Secret

Zachary shot a look of disdain at Jasper. "You're so chubby!"

Jasper was left speechless while Arissa burst out laughing.

Actually, Jasper was not that chubby. His cheeks were slightly rounder, so he looked fatter than his brothers.

Jesse was the one who was actually chubby.

"I'm chubby!" Jesse patted her stomach.

"Sweethearts, do you want to go downstairs or play upstairs?" asked Arissa.

"We'll go wherever you go, Mommy!" The five of them surrounded her.

As Arissa gazed at their adorable faces, her heart melted.

She pulled all of them into her arms and pecked them on their cheeks. "Then, why don't you go downstairs to cook with me?"

"Aren't you feeling unwell, Mommy? Just let Mr. Whitley cook instead!" Gavin stared at her worriedly.

"Yeah! If you're feeling uncomfortable, don't work so much! Rest more." Zachary refused to let her cook too. The other three opposed as well.

Arissa was touched. "I've already recovered, so I can cook!"

The five of them stared at her fixedly. Amused, she reassured them, "I've really recovered!"

"Mommy, are you hiding something from us?" asked Zachary all of a sudden, catching Arissa off guard.

"What?" She stared at the five children in confusion.

Meeting her gaze, the five of them asked simultaneously, "You've gotta answer that! What did you talk to Mr. Graham about in the study room?" Arissa was stunned, not expecting them to be so observant.

"I was discussing some matters with him, but that concerns the adults! It's better if you kids don't know about it."

Since Arissa had not found the other child, she did not want to tell them and make them worry as well.

When she had gone back to look for Gavin, she did not tell the kids either.

The five children sighed. "Since you're unwilling to tell me your secret, we won't tell you anything when we have secrets!"

They snuck a glance at her as they tried to provoke her on purpose.

Arissa was amused by their actions. "I'll tell you after a while, okay?" She stroked their heads before turning around and heading downstairs.

The kids followed her down.

"What are you planning to cook, Mommy?" asked Jesse hungrily as she grabbed Arissa's finger.

Arissa looked down at her daughter and asked with a smile, "What do you want to eat?"

Jesse's eyes crinkled into crescents as she smiled and told Arissa what she wanted to eat.

Her brothers did the same too.

When Arissa noticed that Gavin was still silent, she laughed and asked, "What do you want to eat, Gavin?"

"I'll eat whatever my brothers want to eat!" He was a very thoughtful boy.

Stroking his head, Arissa insisted, "No! You need to tell me something that you like to eat!"

After thinking about it, Gavin said, "I want to eat some prawns, Mommy!"

"Sure! I'll see if we have the ingredients first. If not, I'll go out and buy them," said Arissa as she walked toward the kitchen.

"Are we going to the supermarket, Mommy?"

Jasper, who loved to eat, immediately became excited.

Arissa glanced at him in amusement. "Who said that I'm going to the supermarket?"

Jasper stuck out his tongue and mumbled, "Aren't you going to the supermarket if you run out of ingredients?"

"Yeah, but I'm not going personally. I can ask Edwin to go!" said Arissa teasingly.

Gavin chuckled.

"It's okay! We can buy them with the butler," said Zachary with an excited grin. Oliver nodded and chimed in, "We'll buy the ingredients and Mommy will cook!" "We can buy so much yummy food at the supermarket!"

Jesse's mind was already filled with the delicious snacks in the supermarket.

Looking at how eager the kids were, even Arissa felt like going to the supermarket.

She went to look at the fridge while the kids followed her.

Soon, she turned around. Still smiling, she revealed some bad news to them, "Sweetheart, all the ingredients we need are in the fridge! You won't be able to go to the supermarket anymore."

The kids were stunned.
