Chapter 121 Is This Guy Her Friend
“Sure!”
Gavin smiled, his eyes narrowing into slits. Blushing, he kissed Arissa on her cheek.
Absolutely charmed by his cuteness, Arissa couldn’t help but kiss him again before putting him down.
“Sweetheart, go to school with your father. I have to get to work soon.”
She stroked the boy’s head lovingly.
I have another four kids in the house. I have to take them to school later, so I can’t have Benjamin
sticking around.
“Let’s send Gavin off to school together before you head to work,” Benjamin said, extending an invitation.
Tucking her hair away, Arissa declined politely, “I appreciate your kindness, Mr. Graham. I will be driving
to the company. You don’t have to go out of your way to do this.”
Upon noticing her somewhat distant attitude, Benjamin frowned.
“Go on, Gav. You need to get to school.”
Arissa pulled Gavin into her arms to lead him to the doorway.
Aware of Arissa’s predicament, Gavin showed his cooperation by dissuading Benjamin from the idea,

After checking on his son, Benjamin put on his shoes at the door.
Then, he held Gavin’s hand before reminding Arissa, “Don’t be late for work.”
Arissa’s lips quivered for a moment before she waved him goodbye.
“Drive safe, Mr. Graham. Bye-bye, Gavin!”
“Bye, Mommy!”
Gavin turned around to wave at Arissa, whose eyes narrowed as she smiled.
Before the father-son duo even got into the elevator, she shut the door.
The moment Benjamin heard that, he glanced back at the door with a frown on his face.
“Let’s go down, Daddy!” Seeing the morose expression on his father’s face, Gavin tugged on his hand as
a reminder to get moving.
Benjamin retracted his gaze and led Gavin downstairs.
Incidentally, they bumped into Bradley, who had brought the car over. Bradley was about to go up the
stairs just when the pair were about to exit the apartment complex.
“Hey-”
Although Bradley was delighted to see Gavin, he cut his greeting short when he got a close look of
Benjamin’s face.
As Bradley studied Gavin, he realized he couldn’t tell him apart from his siblings.
He surmised that the grown man was Benjamin, whereas the young boy was Gavin.
It was his first time meeting Benjamin in person, and it turned out to be a terrifying experience.
After all, the man was born with an air of nobility.
His chilly aura was especially menacing to the point that Bradley couldn’t look him in the eye.
“Hello, Mr. Hinton!” Gavin took the initiative to greet Bradley.
He recognizes me?
Bradley’s eyes lit up as he waved at Gavin. “Hello!”
Gavin smiled demurely.
After nodding at Benjamin, Bradley entered the apartment complex.
With a frown, Benjamin lowered his gaze at Gavin. “Who is that man, Gavin?”
“He’s Mr. Hinton. He’s Mommy’s friend!”
Gavin looked at Benjamin. That was all the information the boy had.

Is that the friend Arissa’s talking about?
His frown deepened when he did a double-take on Bradley, who had an unconventional taste in fashion.
Is this effeminate guy her friend?
Benjamin jibed internally.
With a solemn look on his face, he led Gavin into the car before driving away.
At the same time, Arissa called out to her children in her apartment unit, “Sweethearts, you can come out
now!”
Within a few seconds, the four children came in from the balcony with empty bowls and plates in their
hands.
Astonished, Arissa exclaimed, “So that’s where you’ve been hiding!”
“Mommy, why did Daddy drop by?” Jessica pouted.
If her brothers hadn’t dragged her into hiding, she would’ve liked to meet her father.
“He came with Gavin.”
Arissa paused for a moment before pinching on Jessica’s nose smilingly.
“Why are you referring to him as your father? You haven’t even met him.”
Jessica narrowed her eyes as she chuckled. “I know he’s our father!”
Next, Arissa checked on her three sons. Her lips quivered at the look of determination on their faces.
