You More Than Anything In The World novel Chapter 422

Chapter 422 Should We Tell Mommy About It

Upon hearing that, Gavin, Zachary, Oliver, and Jasper immediately fell silent.

The smiles on their faces vanished, and they all looked disheartened.

Jesse’s heart sank when she saw their reaction. Her eyes and nose began to turn red. “Is there no trace of him?”

The four boys looked at Jesse and did not know what to say.

“He…”

Words caught in Jasper’s throat. He could not finish the sentence.

“Stop asking about it, Jesse. Talking about it will only upset Mommy further,” Oliver sniffled and said.

Jesse bit her lip, and tears welled up in her eyes. She had a bad feeling about it.

When Zachary noticed Arissa was coming into the house, he immediately reminded his siblings, “Go and wash your faces! Mommy’s coming in!”

Jasper, Oliver, and Jesse immediately dashed into the bathroom to freshen up.

Gavin sniffled and went to clean up his face as well. So did Zachary.

Arissa saw the children running to the bathroom but did not question their odd behavior.

She went upstairs directly to get her notebook and was ready to track her missing son’s whereabouts.

The five children gathered in the bathroom to regain their composure. They only got out of the bathroom after reminding each other not to act weird in front of Arissa.

Yet, the minute they stepped out of the bathroom, they bumped into Benjamin. All of them froze on the spot and did not know how to react.

Zachary snapped out of his daze and greeted him, “Hey, Mr. Graham!”

Oliver, Jasper, and Jesse followed suit.

Benjamin shot a glance at them. Am I really that scary in these kids’ eyes?

He nodded and let out a deep grunt. Although he tried to tone down his voice, he still sounded intimidating.

Gavin sneaked a glance at Benjamin and turned to his siblings. “Let’s go and play over there!”

In the blink of an eye, all five children ran off.

Benjamin narrowed his eyes. Why do I feel like that kid is becoming more and more hostile toward me?
