Chapter 439 Revealing The Truth

“Mommy, we’ll wash our faces on our own. You should wash yours too and have breakfast with us! And you can

take some rest after that!” Zachary urged.

“That sounds great!” Arissa replied with a smile.

After the kids headed out, she trotted to the bathroom to wash up.

Returning to their room, the kids closed the door tight and started their discussion.

“Mommy stayed up all night because she was searching for clues about our missing brother,” Zachary commented.

A frown formed between Gavin’s brows. “Why don’t we tell Mommy the truth?”

Oliver bit his lip and nodded in agreement. “I think we have to tell Mommy. If not, Mommy’s body won’t be able to

take it if she continues to skip on sleeping.”

“But I’m sure she won’t be able to handle the truth if we tell her now.” An insurmountable worry surged within

Jasper.

Jesse’s eyes were brimming with tears. “Our brother is such a poor thing. Mommy will be hurt if she finds out about

it.”

The five kids were shrouded with worry as they mulled over the problem.

“Well, it’s better to reveal it now than dragging it. After all, Mommy will have to find out the truth someday. She

could endure it for one day. But what about today?”

Gavin could not bear to see Arissa that way. He had wanted to continue hiding the truth from her, but learning that

she had been staying up to look for clues overnight, he felt his heart sink to the bottom of his stomach.

“I’m all for it! Let’s tell Mommy about it!” Zachary raised his hand.

Gavin is right. Revealing the truth now will hurt less than in the long run. Mommy will find out one day anyway. The

later she knows, the longer she has to be worried. Mommy’s body won’t be able to take it sooner or later.

Likewise, Oliver raised his hand in full support. “Me too!”

Jesse and Jasper were the only ones who had yet to voice their opinions.

Jesse turned to look at Jasper.

The latter turned to his three other brothers, who all had the same views, and sighed. “Let’s tell Mommy then.”

Since Jesse had always been obedient and would follow her brothers, she had no objections to it either.

“Let’s go tell Mommy now.” Jasper had his eyes on the others.

“Not now. Let’s do it later. We’ll tell her after breakfast.” Oliver was afraid Arissa would lose her appetite after

learning about the truth.

Gavin and Zachary thought the same way too.

“If that’s so, why don’t we tell Mommy after she gets some sleep?” Jasper proposed another idea he reckoned was

better.

“If we don’t say it later, Mommy will surely continue to rack her brains over this matter. There’s no saying when

she’ll take time to rest.” Zachary wrinkled his nose.

Jasper sighed dejectedly.

“Let’s go wash up first. Otherwise, Mommy will come looking for us soon,” Jesse reminded her brothers.

“All right. Let’s go.” Oliver gestured and headed into the bathroom with Jesse first, while Gavin, Zachary, and Jasper

followed behind.

As the kids brushed their teeth, an idea flashed across Jasper’s mind. “Why don’t we tell Mr. Graham, then get him

to tell Mommy about it?”

Gavin and Zachary frowned upon hearing that.

The former was the first to raise his objection. “It’s no use telling him. I doubt he knows how to comfort Mommy.”

Zachary seconded those words. He believed that Benjamin did not seem to shower Arissa with much care.

“I’m sure Mommy’s heart will break after we tell her the truth later. When that happens, we’ll have to console her.

Jesse, if we can’t do that well, you’ll have to use your skills to cheer her up.”

Jesse bobbed her head vehemently. “Don’t worry, Zachary. I’ll make sure Mommy won’t be sad.”

They continued with their discussion while washing up and only ran to open the door when Arissa came over to

knock on their door.

“Mommy, we’re done!”

Arissa patted the kids’ heads and locked her warm and gentle gaze on them as she said, “Come on, let’s head

downstairs for breakfast.”

Jesse gripped her mother’s finger and said sweetly, “Mommy, later after breakfast, you must have a good rest. Or

else, we will be worried.”

“All right,” Arissa answered in a gentle tone.

Gavin, Zachary, Oliver, and Jasper stole glances at each other and followed her down the stairs.
