    Chapter 144 Daddy Lied To Mommy


    Arissa’s mind went nk for a second as it was a lie she came up with in the spur of the moment. She


    had no idea who was the person in question.


    “Are they your husband’s children?” Benjamin asked, a sharp glint in his eyes.


    Arissa felt guilty. She averted her gaze and answered, “Yes. Otherwise?”

    As she said that, she felt like wanted to smack her mouth.


    They are all his children. Why didn’t I just tell him the truth?


    Arissa grew frustrated. Looking at the smirk that appeared across the man’s face, a sense of


    uneasiness arose within her.


    What does he mean? What is he trying to do?


    “Hmph! Arissa, you’re a liar.” Benjamin cast a disdainful re at the woman before him.


    Arissa’s heart skipped a beat. She pped away Benjamin’s hand and rubbed her chin that began to


    hurt from Benjamin’s pinch.


    She had a fairplexion and would turn red easily if it was pinched even by little strength.


    Seeing that, Benjamin’s eyes flickered.


    He stared at the red marks on Arissa’s chin and wondered had he used too much strength.


    “Mr. Graham, what’s with the usation?” Arissa asked with guilt.


    Benjamin snorted in response. Without saying a word, he began to inch closer toward the woman,


    causing her to lean back in the chair.


    His breaths numbed Arissa’s senses.


    “You lied. Is it an usation?”


    Benjamin’s stared at her as if he could see right through her and all of the secrets she had been


    keeping.


    At that moment, an awkward grin spread across Arissa’s face.


    “Mr. Graham, I’m telling you the truth, but you don’t believe me. What else can I do?”


    “Which one is the truth and which one is the lie?” Benjamin retorted with a question of his own.


    “All of them are truths!” Arissa gulped and replied.


    Knowing Arissa did not want to admit it, Benjamin stood up and stopped teasing her.


    “I’m going to take a look at Gavin!” Arissa immediately bolted toward the entrance of the study as soon


    as she said that.


    While looking at the woman who was fleeing with all her might, a grin appeared across Benjamin’s


    face.


    Arissa was stunned when she saw Gavin waiting outside the study, and she quickly pulled the little boy


    away.


    “Did you hear that, Gav?”


    Gavin shook his head and said, “Mommy, I’m here because I’m afraid that Daddy will bully you!”


    Arissa was touched by his words, and she pinched his nose lovingly.


    “Mommy, have you told Daddy?”


    Looking at her son’s expectant eyes, Arissa sighed and shook her head. “No.”


    She found it hard to grasp Benjamin’s mood. Sometimes, the man would be easy to talk to, but other


    times, he would be hard tomunicate with.


    Frustrated, Arissa hoisted Gavin into her arms and began making her way upstairs while venting, “I told


    your daddy that you’re my son, but he doesn’t believe me. Instead, he wants me to be your nanny. I’m


    your mother. How can I be your nanny?”


    It’s my responsibility as a mother to treat my son well and do anything for him. What’s the meaning of


    being a nanny? I can’t possibly get paid for fulfilling my duties as a mother!


    Gavin rolled his eyes. Daddy is so bad. How dare he lie to Mommy?


    The little boy did not expose his father’s scheme, and heforted Arissa instead, “Don’t be anxious,


    Mommy. Daddy will trust you after seeing my brothers.”


    Upon hearing his words, Arissa could not help but sigh. After all, the situation was not as easy as it


    looked.


    “I think your daddy still trusts Danna. It’s better to not let him know now.”


    Gavin blinked his eyes at his mother and refuted, “Mommy, Daddy doesn’t trust Danna anymore. He


    hates being tricked by people.”


    At that, Arissa’s heart skipped a beat.


    Will Benjamin kill me if he finds out I hid the children from him?


    Looking at Arissa’s worried expression, Gavin immediately consoled her, “Did Daddy hit you just now,


    Mommy?”


    Arissa looked at her son, a curious expression hanging on her face. “Daddy hits people?”


    Gavin shook his head and quickly added, “Daddy only hits bad people. He won’t hit Mommy!”


    Arissa heaved a sigh of relief, and she brought Gavin into the bathroom for his bath.


    “Let’s stop talking about this. Come on, let’s have a bath!”


    Gavin was shy. “I can bathe myself, Mommy. Go have your bath!”


    “It’s okay. Let Mommy help you.”


    Arissa could not help feeling guilty toward her son. She did not manage to bathe him while he was


    young and wanted to make it up to him now. Arissa was d to see Gavin’s sheepish face, and she


    touched his nose gently.
