Chapter 41 Exposed
Arissa handed the completed forms to Robert. “Mr. William, please check and see if I missed out anything.”
“Sure!” Robert handed it over and had a look. “This column here about their father…”
Gavin tugged Robert’s pants at once and said, “Mr. William, my Daddy’s status is so special that we cannot simply write his name here!”
His words had broken Arissa’s heart. “Kids, shall you all wait outside for me?”
The four kids exchanged looks as they saw that she had something to discuss with Robert.
“All right, Mommy. We shall wait for you outside!” Zachary took the lead to leave the room with Oliver and Jesse following him.
Robert realized that Gavin was glancing at him. He understood what he meant at once and waved back at him, ensuring him to leave the room with no worries.
“Mommy, we are leaving!”
“Okay!” Arissa waited for them to leave before explaining her situation to Robert. “Mr. William, I brought them up on myself. As for their father, I’m really sorry that I have to leave it blank.”
Robert nodded and said, “It’s fine. I’m just asking!”
“Thank you.” Upon seeing Robert was sensible and did not ask any further, Arissa breathed a sigh of relief.
Robert browsed through the other parts of the form. “All right, there is nothing wrong with the rest.”
“That’s good. Let me express my gratitude in advance for taking care of my four children in school.”
“It’s nothing. They may start studying tomorrow. We start our lesson at eight o’clock in the morning and dismiss at half-past three in the afternoon.”
Arissa nodded. “Shall I pay their fees now?”
“It’s up to you.” Robert smiled.
“Then, we shall make it today.”
“Sure! Let me show you the way.”
“Thanks!”
Hence, Arissa followed Robert to the finance department to pay their fees. As she saw the four of them outside, she reminded, “Stay where you are. I will be back soon!”
