“Hey, Daddy. What if Mommy wanted to marry you, so she took someone else’s child to im as hers?”
Jasper added while Benjamin remained confused.
Benjamin rubbed Jasper’s head. He was amazed by the child’s imagination. When Benjamin woke up
years ago, Danna was already by his side. He was furious at her schemes. She then left him just to
return with a child, iming he was theirs through a DNA test.
There was a blurry memory that never left his mind. It was a memory where there was another woman
with a gentler voice, and she wore a unique perfume.
He cut his train of thoughts. If Danna really adopted a child and the child is mine by coincidence, then
who exactly is that woman? It was not as if Benjamin never suspected so. However, it was scientifically
proven that Gavin was indeed Danna and his child. Could she have altered the results of the DNA
test?“Daddy, I don’t want her as my mommy. I want another mommy!” Jasper held on to Benjamin and
nuzzled against him. Gavin had never acted childishly around Benjamin, hence Benjamin’s heart
melted at this sight.Benjamin patted Jasper’s head and said, “Don’t say such silly things!”Even though
Benjamin had his doubts, there was no way he could discuss them with his son without having solid
proof. He wanted to prevent his son from unnecessarily hating Danna even more.Jasper pouted. It
seemed that Benjamin had yet to fully trust him. I have to obtain concrete evidence to persuade
Daddy. “Daddy, if she really isn’t my mommy, would you be with my biological mommy
instead?”Benjamin never thought of such a scenario. If Danna was not Gavin’s mother, how would
Gavin’s true mother be together with Benjamin if he had never even seen her face?Meanwhile, Arissa
brought her four kids out for a meal and went shopping to let them familiarize themselves with their
surroundings. “Jasper, what kind of hat do you prefer?”Gavin was not used to other people calling him
Jasper, so it took him a while before he responded. Zachary lightly tapped Gavin since Arissa was
puzzled by hisck of response. “Mommy is calling you!”Gavin came back to his senses with a blush
on his face. “What did you say, Mommy?”Arissa noticed that he wasn’t paying attention and squeezed
his cheeks while pointing at the store. “Which hat do you like?”Gavin looked at the hats avable and
replied, “I like the ck one!”Arissa froze. Doesn’t he like green? “Are you sure?”Gavin had no idea
why she was asking him such a question. “Yes!” he answered while nodding.Arissa was shocked and
teased him, “Are you going for a change of style? Didn’t you like green?”Gavin was stunned to hear
that because Jasper never mentioned that he liked green.Zacharyughed as he noticed that Gavin
was confused. He was worried that Arissa could see through their lie. “Mommy, he wants to look
cool!”Gavin glimpsed at Zachary and remained speechless. What do you mean? It’s just my favorite
color.Oliver rubbed his chin as he felt that Jasper was acting weirdly. “Wasn’t green your favorite color?
When did that change?”Gavin nced at him and smirked in return. “Am I not allowed to have a
change in style?”“I want to change my style too!” Jesse eximed smilingly. “Mommy, can I have the
pink one?”Arissa was amused by Jesse’s request. She requested the storekeeper for two hats, one
ck, and one pink.Jesse instantly tried out the hat and showed it to the others. “How do I look?”“It’s
perfect!” Gavin supported Jesse. His gaze remained on Jesse as the hat made thetter seem even
more feminine.“Here, try the hat.” Arissa squatted and helped Gavin wear his hat. He looked fantastic
in the ck hat, making his features stand out even more.She sighed as none of her children looked
like her. She was confident that they looked like their father, but she did not know who their father was,
nor did she know where to find him. Even if she did, she did not have to courage to seek their biological
father out as she was worried that he would be an improper person. She would prefer to never know
about their father if that were the case.Oliver adjusted Gavin’s hat by turning it around. “Now, you look
cooler!”Gavin looked at them and turned to the mirror. He agreed with Oliver’s statement. “Mommy, I
want this hat!”“Sure!” Arissa adored him and caressed his face.“Thank you, Mommy!” Gavin’s face
flushed with excitement because it was his first ever present from his mother.Arissa smiled at him and
paid for the hats before continuing their shopping trip. She bought whatever they needed.Before
heading home, they shopped for groceries for their dinner.“Mommy, rest! We’ll handle dinner!” Zachary
told Arissa as soon as they reached home.Arissa was touched. “You all should rest too. I’ll make dinner
in a moment!”“We’re not tired at all!” Zachary called his siblings, and they carried the groceries into the
kitchen before keeping them neatly.It was the first time Gavin did such chores. Thus, he found it
interesting. However, he kept miscing the groceries, causing Zachary and Oliver to be pissed.Jesse
lightly tugged the corner of Gavin’s shirt. “Jasper, let’s prepare the vegetables. Leave the rest to them!”
Jesse sat on a chair and started to prepare the vegetables.Gavin was amazed by how skilled Jesse
was and asked out of curiosity, “You’re so good at it! I don’t know how to do it as properly as you!”Jesse
felt puzzled. “Jasper, you’re doing a better job than me. Are you trying to make me happy?”Gavin
quickly added, “Hehe. I am!” He learned how to prepare the vegetables after observing how Jesse did
it.Zachary and Oliver started to cook the dishes after storing the groceries. Gavin stood aside and
watched in amusement.Zachary noticed that Gavin was in awe and smirked. “From now on, we have to
help Mommy with these chores! Whenever Mommy is not at home, we have to prepare our own
meals!”They’re incredible! Gavin was amazed.“That’s right! Mommy works very hard, so we have to
help her!” Jesse agreed.“Would you like to sweep the floor, or should I do it instead?” Oliver asked
Gavin.Gavin knew how to sweep the floor, so he answered, “I’ll do it!”“Sure. I’ll mop the floor then!”
Oliver split the chores among themselves.Arissa walked over and was delighted to hear the
heartwarming conversation between her children. She felt that any kind of pain and suffering was worth
it if it was for the sake of her children.“Kids, go and y. Leave the rest to me!” She told her children to
leave and proceeded to cook the meals. Gavin did not leave. Instead, he stood in the kitchen, watching
her cook.Arissa looked at him and noticed that his expression was filled with curiosity. She felt that
something was off. “Are you hungry, Jasper? You can have some bread in the meantime, but make
sure not to eat too much since we’re going to have dinner soon!”
