Chapter 992
Kingsley and the others stared at Jesse unblinkingly while Arissa smiled at her.
In actuality, Jesse loved wearing dresses. It was just that Arissa had convinced her to wear the same
clothes as her brothers.
Giving Jesse an apologetic look, Arissa said, “Jesse, I''m sorry that I forgot to prepare a dress for you. I
promise to prepare one for you next time. Remind me if I forget, okay?”
Jesse''s eyes immediately lit up, and she said happily, “Okay, Mommy! Thank you!”
Right then, Benjamin turned to her and said, “I have a present to give you after breakfast.”
Surprised, Jesse asked, “What is it?”
“You''ll find outter,” he responded, being mysterious about it.
At that, Jesse beamed and chirped, “Thank you, Mr. Graham!”
A loving look appeared on Benjamin''s face when he saw his daughter''s cute dimples.
“Mr. Graham, can''t you tell us now? You''re making us feel so curious. What exactly are you giving
Jesse? Do we get one too?” Jasper gazed at Benjamin inquisitively, his eyes sparkling with excitement.
With a quirk in his mouth, Kingsley joyfully watched the interaction between Benjamin and the cute
children. Instead of intervening, he ate his food in silence.
s, Benjamin shot Jasper a nce and said, “There''s none for you guys. It''s only for girls.”
Disappointed, Jasper slouched in his seat and grumbled, “I got excited about nothing. I thought all of us
were going to get one.”
Benjamin heard the boy''sints, and he swept a nce at him. “I can give you one next time if
you like it.”

Curiosity gleamed in Jasper''s eyes. “What is it?”
To his dismay, Benjamin did not answer.
Eyeing him, Jasper finally pulled out his trump card. “If you tell me what it is, I''ll address you as
''Daddy''!”
The boy was too curious to find out what it was that suited Jesse but not them.
I can''t fall for his tricks. If it''s a girl''s thing, then I can''t use it. Wait! I can give it to Jesse if that''s the
case.
Jasper was caught in a dilemma, but he was still extremely curious.
Benjamin''s eyes twinkled as he met his son''s gaze. “Well, I just heard you calling me ''Daddy'' even
when I haven''t told you what it was.”
Jasper was utterly speechless.
In the meantime, Kingsley, Ethen, and Jack gave a chortle.
As if he was not afraid of incurring Benjamin''s wrath, Kingsley remarked, “Boss, you''re quite
shameless. Jasper didn''t even call you that. It was just a statement, not an official address.”
In response, Benjamin red daggers at him, which made him hunch in fright.
Immediately, he lowered his head to eat his food, choosing to avoid Benjamin''s re.
Just then, Arissa shed Benjamin a smile. “I''m curious too. What exactly are you giving Jesse?”
He''d better not make the boys jealouster.
Staring at her, Benjamin gestured for her to lean closer.
She did as told, and he whispered in her ear, “A dress!”
Shocked, Arissa stared at him in disbelief.
Nheless, Benjamin only smiled mysteriously—a smile so roguish that it could make a person blush.
Meanwhile, the six children watched their parents whisper among themselves.
Feeling dejected, Jasper asked, “Mr. Graham, why are you only telling Mommy about it?”
Sadly, Benjamin only nced at him and uttered in a in yet strict manner, “Hurry up and finish your
food if you want to find out.”
The boy pouted. Then, he turned to Arissa and inquired, “Mommy, what did Mr. Graham tell you?”
Seeing Benjamin was still being mysterious about the gift, Arissa merely smiled and kept quiet.
She decided to help him keep it a secret and not ruin the surprise he had for their daughter.
“It''s a secret!”
The six children were baffled.
“Mommy, we know it''s a secret. Did Mr. Graham tell you what he''s giving to Jesse?” Zachary looked at
her in curiosity.
Arissa chuckled at his question. I can answer that.
“Yes.”
