Chapter 32 Checking Up On Her
Arissa smiled and pinched Jesse’s nose lovingly.
“There are a lot of little kids your age in school. I’m sure it’ll be fun. You should go to school with your brothers. I’ll pick you up after school, okay? That way, I don’t have to worry much, and you guys won’t miss me all day long, right? I’ll be worried sick if no one takes care of you at home.”
Jesse pouted as she turned to look at her brothers. The young child knew she could not persuade her mother at all.
Finally, Zachary spoke up. “Could we just postpone the plan for a few days? We’re still jet-lagged!”
Arissa looked at the energetic and rowdy kids in front of her.
“What difference does it make? I know you’re all mature and sensible kids, but you have to go to school someday!”
She could not comprehend why her children were so reluctant to attend school.
“The kids in school are a bunch of whiny babies!” Oliver said with a tone of disdain.
Oliver’s words amused Arissa. “You’re saying that you’re not a kid?”
She pinched his nose affectionately.
Oliver chuckled. “But I won’t cry and make a fuss like them!”
“All right. We’ll go to school, Mommy.” Seeing how worried Arissa was, Gavin was the first to agree to her wishes.
Zachary gave him the side-eye and bargained with Arissa hurriedly, “I don’t mind going to school, but can we skip kindergarten instead?”
Arissa looked at him, fully aware of his intentions.
“No, all of you are still too young for elementary school! You’ll have to attend kindergarten first!”
Zachary finally gave in, “Fine.”
Arissa smiled while she caressed their heads. “Get changed now, kids. We’re heading there soon.”
“Mommy, it’s almost time for them to get off work. Can’t we just go in the afternoon?” Zachary reminded her.
Arissa turned to look at the time. It was indeed almost noon.
She laughed and said, “You’re right. I almost forgot about that. We’ll go there in the afternoon, then.”
After using the bathroom, Arissa started to prepare lunch for them. All four of her children surrounded her and chattered away while she made lunch for them.
After eating, Arissa cleaned up the kitchen and sent the children to take a nap.
Just when she was about to call Bradley, the phone rang. It was from him.
“Have you found out about it, Bradley?” Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.
“No, I couldn’t find much. Benjamin does have a son, but his identity is tightly guarded. He doesn’t have any personal photos leaked out either.”
Is that so?
Arissa frowned. What should I do if I can’t see him at all?
However, now that she was working in Graham Group, there would be plenty of chances to get close to Benjamin.
In that case, it was possible for her to try to obtain his DNA so that she could run a paternity test.
She only wanted to know if the child was hers.
I have to think of a way to do so.
“Okay. You can start checking on the other thing for now.”
Bradley agreed before he was reminded of something else. “Boss, someone’s been looking into your identity.”
“Do you know who it is?” Arissa frowned.
Could it be Benjamin or Danna?
“It’s the Rogers family!”
“The Rogers family?” Arissa was confused. She had never crossed paths nor interacted with them at all.
“Did you find out their name?”
“I couldn’t check who the exact person was, but the signal came from their side. My hunch is that they were hired to do the job,” Bradley explained.
After all, the Rogers family was notorious for their shady business in Dellmoor’s Durbaine. Almost all the nightclubs and entertainment establishments in the town were owned by them.
“Be careful, Boss,” Bradley reminded her.
“I got it. Let me know if you find anything!”
After she hung up the phone, Arissa sat by her bed, deep in thought. Who are the people that want to harm me? There is a good chance that Danna might be the one digging into my past. After all, she is the prime suspect for the woman back then.
Arissa thought for a while and decided to investigate Benjamin’s son’s real identity.
Gavin entered the room just as she was looking at Benjamin’s home address on her computer.
