Chapter 208 That Is My Mommy

He nodded. “Yes, I am. The owner of this house invited me over.”

“That’s my mommy.” Gavin instantly shouted toward the kitchen, “Mommy, the village chief is here!”

The village chief could not help but grin at how adorable the boy was.

“Please come in and take a seat,” Gavin said warmly.

Subconsciously, the village chief looked at Benjamin. The latter’s aura was so intimidating that he had second thoughts entering the house.

As soon as Arissa heard her son, she hurried out to greet the village chief. “Hi, I’m Arissa. Please come in.”

She smiled and welcomed the village chief warmly.

As his gaze traveled among Arissa, Gavin, and Benjamin, the village chief came to a realization. “That’s okay. I should get going.”

“Since you’re already here, please come in for some tea. Dinner is almost ready. Besides, I should have gone to visit you, but you’ve come instead. Please don’t stand on ceremony.”

The village chief could not reject her generous invitation, so he sat on the couch opposite Benjamin.

“Nice to meet you.” He nodded toward the latter.

In response, Benjamin nodded in acknowledgement.

In the meantime, Arissa ignored Benjamin and poured a cup of tea for the village chief. “Please excuse me. I’ll get the dinner ready.”

“Okay. Go ahead,” the village chief politely responded while holding the teacup.

Soon, Arissa went back to the kitchen again.

Benjamin’s eyes never left her back. I’ve been here for a while, but she never came to greet me or pour me a cup of tea. Yet, she’s so enthusiastic when the village chief is here.

“Are you…” Casting a brief look at Benjamin, the village chief felt awkward and tried to start a conversation.

“Benjamin Graham.” Benjamin averted his gaze to the village chief.

“I see. So, you’re really Mr. Graham. Is she a human… I mean, did she really kidnap your child?” Although the village chief did not believe it, he still asked out of curiosity.

“No, she’s my mommy. She’s not a bad person. I ran away from home to stay with her. It’s not her fault.” The moment Gavin heard the village chief’s question, he instantly jumped in to clarify Arissa’s identity.
