Chapter 378 His Whereabout Is Unknown

After they finished their food, they continued to stay as they were curious about what Arissa had to say.

“Sweethearts, did you eat your fill?”

Arissa smiled at her children, hoping they would leave soon.

However, the five of them blinked at her and asked in unison, “Mommy, what secret do you have?”

“You are still children and should not listen to the conversation between adults,” Arissa stated.

The children held their tongues. After they took their bags, they shuffled out of the room.

Soon, only Arissa and Benjamin were in the study.

Arissa could feel Benjamin’s eyes on her back. As expected, she turned around to catch him staring at her.

“Are you full?”

Benjamin stared intently at her.

Arissa nodded, “Yes. Thank you for the food!”

Then, Benjamin looked around before saying, “Sit down and talk to me.”

“Okay.”

Obediently, Arissa sat down. However, she came to her senses. Why do I have to listen to him?

When she raised her head to look at Benjamin’s eyes, she sighed.

“I-”

She was about to speak when Benjamin stood up.

Unsure of what he was doing, Arissa’s eyes followed the man’s figure.

He walked to the door and opened it. Immediately, the children hiding behind it widened their eyes.

“Go along and play with your toys!”

Benjamin spoke, with a hint of threat in his voice.

Terrified, the children turned to run off to their rooms at once.

Amused, Benjamin grinned before closing the door again and returning to the table.

Arissa looked away.



When Benjamin sat down, she did not know how to bring up the topic anymore. She poured herself a glass of water

and took a sip from it.

The whole time, Benjamin did not rush her. He picked up his documents and started to go through them.

It was difficult for Arissa to avert her gaze from Benjamin as he looked handsome and enchanting while he dealt

with his work. He had long eyelashes and the perfect features.

Her eyes flickered, and she felt her heart beating faster.

She gulped.

“Pour me a glass of water.”

“Huh?”

His booming voice pulled Arissa out of her daydream.

Benjamin raised his head and gestured to the water. “Pour me a glass!”

“Oh!”

Arissa quickly snapped out of her daze and did as asked.

Meanwhile, Benjamin smirked at her reaction.

“What were you thinking about earlier?”

“N-Nothing!” Arissa stammered.

There was no way she would admit that she was admiring his features.

“So what did Danna say to you?”

Benjamin brought up the topic again.

This time, Arissa bit her lips and stared at Benjamin.

“When I gave birth, I fainted several times. In addition, I got injured, so I only have a faint memory of what

happened then.”

Benjamin nodded. She mentioned it to Shaun in the hospital previously.

He did not interrupt to ask her how she got injured because he had guessed it. Previously, she also said that

someone threw her into the desert.

Clenching her fists, Arissa took a deep breath and continued, “I think I gave birth to another child.”

She peeked at Benjamin’s face, but he showed no reaction. Therefore, she thought he did not catch what she said.



Gripping the cloth on her pants, she painfully repeated, “That year, I think I gave birth to six children.”

Benjamin’s eyes widened. Six?

He was shocked to hear those words leave her mouth.

Thinking about how she did not know where the child went, she grew sad and felt tears in her eyes.

“I think Danna took the child away.”

Arissa felt sad and guilty.

She could not believe that she had forgotten all about her child.

On the other hand, Benjamin did not know what to say.

That year, Danna looked for him with only one child in her arms. He did not see two children.

So where did the child go?

In the next second, fury filled his eyes.

“She told you this?”

Arissa sniffed and nodded.

She choked, “The midwife also admitted that Danna took the oldest and second oldest child away. One of them was

weaker, and I remember seeing that in my dream. However, I’m not sure if it was the oldest or second child.”

When Gavin was younger, they took him to the hospital often.

Benjamin was dumbfounded by the news.
