Chapter 290 Daddy Never Lies

The four of them then knelt down beside Arissa and stared at her face as she slept.

It had been almost two days since they last saw their mommy, so simply looking at her without saying anything was enough to fill their hearts with joy.

Gavin, who was passing by the room, came over and joined them beside the bed when he saw them.

The four of them exchanged glances with Gavin, who flashed them a smile as he whispered, “Let’s all go outside so we don’t wake Mommy up, okay?”

As they had all taken a nap earlier in the afternoon, they weren’t feeling sleepy at all.

Zachary nodded and motioned for the rest of them to leave the room.

The five of them then crept out of the room, closed the door, and headed toward their bedroom.

“All right, let’s unpack our stuff!” Gavin said as he placed his bag down, prompting the other four to start unpacking their stuff as well.

“Gavin, what did Mr. Graham tell you just now?” Jasper asked curiously.

“He explained why he saved Danna,” Gavin replied.

Zachary glanced at Gavin. “What did he say?”

Gavin then told them all about his conversation with Benjamin earlier.

Oliver pouted as he found Benjamin’s explanation to be rather reasonable.

“But why was he able to rush over there so quickly?”

Gavin pursed his lips. “Danna must’ve given him a call.”

Jasper stroked his chin as he gave it some thought. “That means he still cares about her, then. All that stuff about saving her life because he knows her is probably nonsense. Shouldn’t he let someone else do the saving? Why did he have to go charging in all by himself?”

“He has bodyguards with him, so why not let them save her instead? Doesn’t he know that people are going to get the wrong idea if he saves her? It’s obvious that he still cares about her!”

Zachary didn’t like how Benjamin handled the situation.

Gavin tried to defend Benjamin by saying, “Maybe it’s just a habit of his.”

Zachary shot him a glance as he sat down on the bed. “Gavin, you said they weren’t on good terms throughout the past five years. Even if he did like Danna five years ago, those habits of his should have changed by now, right?”

Gavin found that strange too. “But Daddy didn’t seem to be lying when he told me he didn’t care about Danna.”

“How would you know?” Oliver asked with a pout.

Gavin knew they were thinking like that because they didn’t spend enough time around him. “Daddy never lies!”

“What about that time he told Grandpa he was out socializing, then? He was clearly at the hospital at the time, and yet he lied to Grandpa!” Jasper snapped back at him with a chuckle.

Gavin fell silent when he heard that.

Jesse continued unpacking her stuff as she said, “Lying is bad!”

“Yeah! See, even Jesse knows it’s bad to tell lies!” Jasper said while giving her a kiss on the top of her head.

Jesse smiled happily in response. “If Mommy doesn’t like him, then I won’t like him either. If Mommy likes him, then I’ll learn to forgive him.”

Naturally, Oliver couldn’t resist the urge to taunt her for saying that.

“Of course you’d say that. You’re silly and don’t have any principles of your own!”

Being the top fan of her mommy, Jesse was determined to defend her. “Mommy is right in everything she does!”

The four brothers exchanged smiles when they heard that.

“Yeah! Mommy is always right, so we’ll all do as she says!”

Being the eldest of the siblings, Gavin agreed with her statement. NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.

Jesse grinned at him like a fangirl who had just met her idol. “You’re the best, Gavin!

Zachary, Oliver, and Jasper fell silent and sat down on the side of the room.

“What kind of expression is that?” Gavin asked when he saw the looks on their faces.

“An expression of speechlessness!” Jasper replied with a giggle.

Kingsley came into the room when he saw the five kids packing their stuff.

“Did you kids go see your mommy and daddy yet?”

The kids turned to look at him in unison.
