They Were Literally All Over Him
“They would stare daggers at me behind Grandpa’s back. Sometimes, they pinched my face real hard,”
Gavin complained. “Did you tell Daddy?”
Arissa was certain that Benjamin would never allow his son to be bullied. Lo and behold, Gavin shook
his head. “Daddy is always busy. Moreover, Grandpa would be sad if he found out.”
Arissa’s heart ached when she learned about it, and she gave him another kiss on his forehead. “Who
are they?”
“Uncle Bryan, Uncle Nick, and their family members.” Arissa was dumbfounded. Do they hate my son
so much?
“Just ignore them.” Benjamin caressed Gavin’s head. “Okay!” Gavin nodded. “I shall glare at them
when I see them.” Staring at his exasperated expression, Arissa gently pinched his puffy cheeks.
“That’s right! Let’s give them the cold shoulder.”
“Got it, Mommy!” Gavin was slightly cheered up. Arissa smiled and kissed his cheek. “Remember to tell
me or Daddy if anyone bullies you, okay? We’ll show him who’s boss.”
“All right!” The boy nodded happily. While Arissa was coaxing the child, Benjamin walked away and
gave Ethen a call. “Is Bryan working on a huge project lately? Steal it from him,” instructed Benjamin
coldly.
Arissa turned to him when she heard that. “Go now and play by yourselves, Sweethearts!”
She rubbed Zachary’s head, seemingly requesting his help to get the rest of the children to go have
some fun. “Let’s go play, Gavin. Lead us to the backyard.”
Zachary grabbed Gavin’s hand, gesturing for him to take them to the garden. “Sure!”
Gavin nodded, then informed Arissa before leaving with his siblings. When the kids had disappeared
from her sight, Arissa withdrew her gaze and walked toward Benjamin, who had just ended a call.
“If Old Mr. Graham knew about this, would he—”
“They have already gotten on his nerves when they bullied Gavin at the Old Manor!”
To Darius, Gavin was like a precious jewel, his most cherished asset.
Benjamin was in a bad mood. He was downright displeased that the matter was only revealed a year
after.
Arissa nodded in agreement. She was well aware of how much Darius loved Gavin.
“Don’t get so worked up. We’ll be more vigilant in the future.”
Benjamin looked her in the eyes and nodded. “You too, don’t worry too much. Have you eaten?”
“Not yet. The soup is still on the stove. Are you hungry?”
“Nope.” Benjamin glanced at his six children, who were frolicking in the garden, and heaved a sigh of
relief. “I’ll go check on them.”
Arissa smiled. Subsequently, she headed back to the kitchen to help Edwin.
Shortly after, Benjamin brought the kids inside the house.
When Arissa saw them, she was shocked to the core.
Oliver and Jasper were leaning on Benjamin’s left shoulder, whereas Jesse was sitting on his right
shoulder, hugging his head.
They were literally all over him. The three older children were in his arms; two on the right and one on
the left.
Arissa could not help but let out an amused chuckle.
“Get down now.”
Embarrassment inundated Benjamin, and he quickly requested the kids to stop their silly antics.
“Hang on!” Arissa stopped them.
Whipping out her phone, she snapped a few photos of it at lightning speed.
Benjamin frowned and asked impatiently, “Are you done?”
“Yes, yes.”
She giggled as she waved at the children.
“Come on, Sweethearts. Dinner is ready!”
One by one, the kids got off Benjamin’s back and went to wash their hands happily.
“Not bad, Graham. You’re looking more and more like a father.” Arissa shot him a cheeky look.
Benjamin furrowed his brows. “Do I not look like one before this?”
“Haha! You were too serious. Hence, the kids never dared to approach you. If you want to hang out
with them, you need to be friendlier.”
Nonetheless, she was glad that he had gotten much closer to the children.
“I wonder who was the one who was afraid that I would get too close to the children.”
Arissa blushed. “Well, I was afraid you’d snatch them away from me. It’s a different context altogether.”
Benjamin quirked an eyebrow in interest.
“How are they different? You’re not afraid anymore?”
