The More the Merrier

Chapter 7 Why Did You Prick My Finger

“Stop crying!” Benjamin had never seen his son cry out loud. He did not know how to calm him down. “No one thinks that!”

“Really?” Jasper buried himself in Benjamin's embrace and held him tightly. His body was trembling. His pitiful voice could cause others to choke up.

Benjamin could tell from his voice that Jasper was afraid of being abandoned. His heart sank as he patted the boy's head. “Really,” Benjamin said with confidence.

Danna looked at the father-son duo and secretly sighed a breath of relief.

However, Ethen, sitting in the front, noticed her expression. His eyes flickered with a hint of suspicion. Ms. Adams and Gavin were not like this in the past. Although they were not as close as other mothers and sons, they still wouldn't have fought like this.

Meanwhile, Arissa had arrived home with the four children and had started cleaning the house.

Gavin hid in the bathroom to watch the surveillance footage of his own home.

He was relieved when he saw that Jasper had returned home with Benjamin. He finally exited and went to help with the chores.

It was dinner time already when they had finally settled down. The mother and children ordered takeout and ate together at the dinner table, making the atmosphere full of life.

Gavin was afraid that he would accidentally reveal himself if he spoke too much. Thus, he would only add a little here and there to the conversation when everyone was talking. In the end, he managed to avoid any suspicions of being the odd one out.

Zachary was the only one who thought his brother was a little different, but he did not question him further on his identity.

After dinner, Arissa instructed her kids to shower and head to bed. She, too, washed up quickly and went to sleep.

On the other side, Jasper had dozed off on the way home to the Graham residence with Benjamin after all the weeping.
