Chapter 119 Is There A Man
The children were self-reliant. Getting a bowl of oatmeal porridge was nothing difficult for them.
A few minutes later, Arissa headed to the bedroom for a change of clothes and exited with her makeup
done.
Just as she was heading to the dining area, the doorbell rang.
Arissa was surprised. Is Bradley here to pick me up already?
She walked over and opened the door.
She was very surprised by who she saw.
Benjamin stood there with Gavin in his arms. When he saw that she was about to close the door, he
stepped forward and entered the house.
Arissa blinked. “Mr. Graham, you… Good morning.”
“Good morning, Mommy!” Gavin greeted happily.
Arissa smiled at him brightly.
Benjamin glanced at her then walked into the house with Gavin in his arms. “Gavin wanted to have
breakfast here, so I brought him over.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtArissa’s lips twitched as she looked at the man who treated her house like his own.
Her heart dropped when she thought of the four children.
She closed the door and quickly followed them.
“Daddy, you should change your shoes. They’re dirty,” Gavin reminded Benjamin.
Benjamin paused and glanced at Gavin, then turned around and happened to see Arissa’s flustered
expression.
Arissa hurriedly suppressed the panic in her heart and smiled sheepishly. “It’s alright, Mr. Graham. No
need to change your shoes.”
Benjamin shot her a glance but still went to the door to change his shoes.
His brows furrowed when he saw the men’s shoes on her shoe cabinet.
Benjamin did not wear the shoes but simply walked into the house in his socks.
Arissa hurriedly placed the shoes in front of him. “Mr. Graham, please wear these shoes. My house is a
little dirty.”
Benjamin did not move, his gaze fixed solely on her. “Is there a man in your family?”
There was an inexplicable feeling of unhappiness in Benjamin’s heart.
Arissa looked at him and shook her head. “No, there isn’t. I just prepared it for when my friend comes
over.”
“Friend?”
Benjamin’s brows furrowed. He knew that she was talking about a male friend.
His face darkened.
Arissa glanced at him and answered warily, “Yes, a friend like you, Mr. Graham. You have these shoes to
change into even though you suddenly came over.”
“Am I not welcomed here?” Benjamin sneered and carried Gavin into the kitchen.
“Of course you are. You’re always welcomed here.” Arissa laughed awkwardly and followed closely
behind.
The kitchen was empty. The four children had vanished.
Arissa’s nervousness dissipated immediately.
Benjamin’s eyebrows rose when he noticed that there were only two dishes. Is she having breakfast
alone?
He glanced at her and said, “I haven’t eaten either. Go and prepare some more food.”

Arissa smiled at him half-heartedly and went to get them utensils.
“Thank you, Mommy,” Gavin thanked her.
Arissa ruffled his hair dotingly and said softly, “You’re welcome. I’ll go and prepare more food. Eat this
first. Have some of these first, Mr. Graham.”
She quickly went to get them a bowl of oatmeal porridge each, then went to fry some eggs.
The four children had taken food with them when they went to hide.
Arissa would not need to worry about them going hungry then.
However, she struggled to think of a way to make the man, who had suddenly appeared in her kitchen,
leave.
Then, she could send the children to school.
She accidentally burnt the eggs as she was deep in thought.
Benjamin raised his brows as he looked at the busy woman in the kitchen.
His expression darkened.
Gavin looked around and suddenly realized that the four other children were all hiding on the balcony.
He quickly looked away and looked at Benjamin, who only had eyes for Arissa.
