Chapter 137

Heart Skips A Beat

“Okay. I will tell him.” Arissa nodded.

I can’t put my kids’ life at risk. Danna took away two of my children. Now, she’s trying to kill the rest of
us. It’s impossible that she would suddenly turn over a new leaf. I’m sure those men were sent by her.

As she continued to ponder, she narrowed her eyes.

Maybe I can discuss with Benjamin tonight.

Gavin waited for Arissa with a smile on his face.

Knowing that her son was waiting for her, she quickly finished her shower and came out of the
bathroom.

“Mommy!” Gavin greeted her with a smile.

Upon seeing him, she bent down and kissed his face over and over again.

“Sweetheart, have you waited me for a long time?”

He shook his head. “Just for a few minutes.”

His answer amused Arissa, and she pinched on his cheek affectionately.

Just then, Edwin came upstairs to call her for dinner.

Nodding, she carried Gavin downstairs. “Sweetheart, let’s get dinner.”

“Mommy, didn’t you eat at Daddy’s company?”



Gavin looked at her without blinking.

“I did!” she answered with an affectionate smile. “Sweetheart, thank you for bringing me lunch today.”

Stunned, he stated, “Mommy, I didn’t bring you lunch.”

“It wasn’t you? Why would your daddy tell me that it was from you?” Arissa was puzzled as well.

Soon, realization dawned on Gavin.

Daddy lied to get close to Mommy!

Gavin grinned cheekily and said, “Mommy, I think Daddy was the one who brought you lunch.”

When she heard that, the corner of her lips twitched again. Why would Benjamin say that? Was he
afraid that I wouldn’t accept it? Oh. He said that it was from Gavin after he found out that I wanted to
leave.

Her mind went blank for a moment.



By the time they entered the dining room, Benjamin had been waiting for them at the dining table.

Upon hearing their footsteps, he turned toward them.

Her heart skipped a beat when she locked eyes with him.

She quickly composed herself and smiled at him politely.

“Come and eat.” Benjamin swept a glance at them.

“Okay!” She carried Gavin to the seat beside Benjamin..



Benjamin glanced at Gavin and said, “Haven’t you have your dinner?”

While Arissa fixated her eyes on Gavin, their son flicked a glance at Benjamin and answered, “I feel
hungry again.”

Well, I want to be with Mommy.

In response, Benjamin glanced at him without saying a word.

“Gavin needs to eat more. It is good for his health,” Arissa said as she could not stand watching
Benjamin being so stern toward Gavin.

Why doesn’t he want Gavin to eat with us? All parents want their children to eat more. Usually, I even
make supper for my children after eating.

Hearing her words, Benjamin shot her a glance and did not say more.

Seeing that Benjamin had allowed Gavin to have dinner, Edwin brought Gavin a bowl.

“Gavin, would you like to have some soup?” Edwin asked with a smile.

Gavin nodded. “Sure. Thank you, Mr. Whitley.”

The butler then served the soup to Gavin.

“Let’s eat!” Benjamin grabbed a fork and dug in.

After Arissa spared Benjamin a glance, she noticed that Gavin was blowing on his soup.

Knowing that hers was not as hot as his, she said, “Gavin, you can have mine. It’s not hot.”

Her serving was colder, as it was served earlier.



Hence, she gave hers to her son.

“Thank you, Mommy!” Gavin grinned.

“You’re welcome. Enjoy your soup!” She stroked his hair lovingly.

“Yes,” he replied with a bright smile.

Benjamin, who was sitting at the side, narrowed his eyes when he saw the way Arissa looked at Gavin.
