Chapter 967
Gavin blushed. “I don't remember!”
“Eh? You must remember. Look, you're blushing!” Oliver stared at his face and burst into giggles.
“Hurry, spill!” Jasper grinned.
Gavin's blush deepened. “I just didn't want to stay at home. When I was in a bad mood, all I wanted was to be with
Daddy.”
Tim gazed at Gavin. I hide when I am in a bad mood.
“Shouldn't you hide when you're in a bad mood?”
He turned to look at Zachary, and the latter nodded in agreement.
“I do hide sometimes,” Gavin whispered in embarrassment.
His siblings found his reaction amusing.
“I hide too, Gavin!” Jesse squeezed to the very front and held his arm so he wouldn't feel awkward.

Jesse stuck her tongue out and retorted, “You do that, too!”

“Mommy!”
“Don't run that fast!” Jesse grew flustered as she was left behind.

with the rest.

“Faster!”
Jesse whined, “I can't go any faster!”

She got up and was about to go welcome them when they ran toward her.
“Mommy!”
“Hello!”
Arissa walked away from her desk, and the children immediately leaped into her arms.
She threw her arms around them and kissed their faces affectionately.
“Why are you still carrying your bags?” Arissa was surprised to see their bags with them.
“Mommy, you have to work, right? We have homework to do too!” Zachary said.
Realization dawned on Arissa, and she brought them to the couch.
“Do your homework here. We will head to Grandpa's house to have dinner later.”
“Dinner at Grandpa's?” Jasper gasped in surprise.
Arissa patted his head. “Yes. Grandpa invited us to join him for dinner at the Old Manor tonight.”
“Wow, sounds amazing! There will be a lot of food there!” Jesse exclaimed in delight.
Tim and Gavin could barely hide their delight, too.
“Mommy, aren't we going to visit Great-grandaunt?” Oliver asked as he looked at Arissa.
Hearing that, the rest also turned to look at her.
Arissa's eyes sparkled. “You can call her. I don't know when dinner will end. If it finishes early, we can go visit her.”
“Sure!” Tim nodded eagerly.

“Mm. You can play while I work. We will go to Grandpa's house later.”
“Okay!”

today.

help and support as they did their homework.
