Chapter 36 I Do Not Have A Daddy
Flustered, Zachary quickly went into hiding in a corner with his siblings. However, Jesse tripped and fell
on the way.
They wanted to help her up instinctively, but Ethen’s approaching footstep forced them back inside.
Seeing Jesse falling over, Arissa hurried to help her up while dusting off the dirt on her dress.
“Did you get hurt?”
“Nope!” Jesse replied nervously while stealing glances at Ethen.
Did I just ruin Mommy’s job, by any chance? What if her boss resents the fact that she has a child and
fires her?
Arissa pinched her daughter’s little face.
“Hello there, Ms. York!”
“Oh, hello, Mr. Frank! What brings you here?” Arissa got up to her feet and greeted back casually. She
acted as she had just seen him coming by.
“We just happened to pass by and see you here. Mr. Graham hopes to have a talk with you.”

Jesse batted her eyelashes while staring at Ethen. Phew! Luckily he is not Mommy’s boss.
Ethen noticed that the adorable little girl standing beside Arissa had such exquisite features that she
looked like a pretty doll.
“Is this your daughter, Ms. York?” asked Ethen with a smile.
“Ah, yes! She’s my daughter,” Arissa replied. Ethen knows that I have a child. It does not harm to admit
it.
“Hello, sir!” Jesse greeted with a smiley face. Her bright eyes and dimples resembled Arissa.
Instantly, Ethen was charmed by the little girl’s cuteness.
“Oh, what an adorable girl!” He could not help but reach out to ruffle her hair.
The sight made Arissa break into a smile. She noticed that Benjamin had opened the door and was
about to get out of the car.
Thus, she left Jesse to Ethen and went to greet Benjamin.
“Hello, little girl. I’m Ethen. What’s your name?” Ethen kneeled and teased Jesse.
“I’m Jesse!” replied Jesse with a broad smile. As she grinned, she revealed the empty space in her

mouth that her front teeth used to stay.
The sight was too much cuteness for Ethen to handle. Once again, he patted her head lovingly.
“Jesse, are you living with your Mommy here?”
“Yup!” Jesse nodded with sparkling eyes.
“Is your Daddy here with you too?” Ethen questioned heartlessly. The very next moment, he realized that
he had asked an inappropriate question as Arissa was considered a single mom. He started casting
guilty looks at Jesse as he knew his mistake.
However, Jesse did not seem to be troubled at his question at all. “I don’t have a Daddy.”
“I’m sorry. I didn’t mean it!” Feeling sorry, he patted her on the head.
Glancing at his guilty look, Jesse fumbled a candy from her pocket.
“This candy is for you, sir!”
Ethen was surprised as he did not expect her to be so kind to him.
“Thank you!”
“You are welcome!” Jesse beamed with her head tilted. “Mister, since you’ve taken my candy, you must

promise me to take care of Mommy in the company and don’t let anyone bully her!”
Ethen was nonplussed. How touching that she is concerned about her mother at this young age!
“Don’t worry. Nobody will bully your Mommy in the company.”
“Thank you, sir!” She grinned.
Meanwhile, Arissa was staring at Benjamin, who was getting out of the car. As he stood straight, he gave
out a dignifying aura and stole the crowd’s attention at once.
Arissa was so nervous she felt her heart racing as she met his gaze.
There is no need to be afraid of him. He could not have found out that he is the father of my child.
Otherwise, he would have confronted me ages ago.
“What a coincidence, Mr. Graham! Are you here for some business?” Arissa approached and stopped a
few steps away from him.
She was observing Benjamin’s charming features behind her sunglasses.
Benjamin was standing by the car door, wearing a demanding presence.
Sure enough, a born king like him was able to let anyone follow him willingly with merely a glance.
A hint of surprise flashed across his eyes as he saw her attire, which was much more casual compared
to the blouse she wore on her interview.
