Chapter 138 Does Mommy Like Daddy
Edwin stood at the side and glanced at Gavin. Then, he turned to look at Arissa, who was ever so loving
to Gavin. She patiently showered Gavin with her endearing motherly love.
This made Edwin baffled. Arissa is so loving to Gavin, even though she’s not his real mom. In contrast,
Danna is so cruel to Gavin. She is incomparable to Arissa.
Meanwhile, Arissa looked at Gavin attentively as she tried to get him to eat more. For her, it
was absolute bliss as she fussed over her little boy. However, as she was going to feed him, Benjamin
halted her.
He threw a glance at her and muttered in his deep voice, “Let Gavin eat on his own.”
With that, Arissa looked at Benjamin and relented.
Gavin, too, peered at Benjamin and ate on his own obediently.
After a while, he took some food and offered it to Arissa. “Mommy, this is yummy. Have some more of
this!”

Immensely moved by his gesture, Arissa stroked Gavin’s head affectionately. “Thank you, Sweetheart!”
Benjamin’s eyes glistened brightly as he caught sight of Arissa’s blissful smile.
Even Edwin had the corners of his mouth upturned in a faint smile as he basked in the affectionate
atmosphere. Finally, he felt the warmth of a loving family as it had been some time since he last saw a
smile on Gavin’s face.
“Ms. York, do you like the dishes today?” asked Edwin with a polite smile.
“Yes, these dishes are delicious. Edwin, I can’t match up with your culinary skills,” praised Arissa
wholeheartedly.
At that moment, Benjamin interrupted the happy mood with his abrupt view. “There’s no need to flatter
Edwin. Actually, I prefer your dishes instead.”
In the blink of an eye, he rendered Edwin and Arissa speechless.
After Gavin peeked at Benjamin, he smiled and remarked, “Mommy’s dishes are delicious too!”
With a bright smile, Arissa looked lovingly into Gavin’s dazzling eyes. Then, she stroked his head gently
and gushed, “Thank you, Sweetheart. Let’s finish our meal first.”
After Gavin beamed a smile, they continued with their meal.
As Benjamin watched the happy exchange between Arissa and Gavin, he couldn’t help but feel
displeased. His brows furrowed at the contrast between how Arissa treated Gavin compared to him.
This was more pronounced as Arissa called Gavin by his nickname. The more Benjamin thought about it,
the more it annoyed him.
On the other hand, Edwin sneaked a peek at Benjamin and sniggered away. It seems Mr. Graham has
the hots for Ms. York. He’s finally showing more emotion than his usual self.
Under Benjamin’s watchful eyes, Arissa finally finished her meal with Gavin.
After they were done, Gavin couldn’t wait to drag Arissa out for a walk. “Mommy, let’s go for a stroll!”
“All right then,” Arissa agreed, as she usually gave in to the kids’ requests. So, she held on to Gavin’s
little hands, and off they went.
Before they stepped out, Gavin turned around to look at Benjamin. He shouted, “Daddy, are you coming
with us?”
Benjamin glanced at them and frowned slightly. He was apprehensive about joining them, as he knew
Arissa was still guarded against him.
“It’s okay. I’m busy at the moment. You guys have a good time out there,” replied Benjamin reluctantly.
“Okay!” Gavin glimpsed at Benjamin and turned away, all ready for his stroll.
After Arissa heard that, she nodded at Benjamin in acknowledgment and went off with Gavin.

“Mommy, how do you like this place?” asked Gavin.
“I like it. It’s beautiful,” replied Arissa. She took a panoramic view around the garden under the moonlight.
With a mesmerized smile, Arissa immersed herself in the elegance of the surroundings.
“Mommy, how are you adjusting to life here?” asked Gavin as he tugged at her hand.
“I’m doing okay,” replied Arissa, as she gazed into his eyes and stroked his head lovingly.
Gavin smiled contently and asked her next, “Mommy, when are you going to tell Daddy?”
With that, Arissa was stumped for a while. She instinctively turned to look in the direction of the house.
From a distance, an elongated silhouette of a man stood before the floor-to-ceiling glass window. It
looked like Benjamin was amid a call.
She then retracted her gaze and turned to answer Gavin, “I’ll do it when he has the time.”
He followed suit and looked at the house with a nod.
“Mommy, do you like Daddy or not?” questioned Gavin relentlessly, with a serious look on his face.
Arissa looked confoundedly into Gavin’s eyes and searched hard for an answer.
“Well, we’re still getting to know each other. Besides, he’s my boss for now,” explained Arissa.
Once again, Gavin nodded in agreement. Then he continued with curiosity, “How were we conceived in
the past?”
Arissa fell into a daze as she recalled the painful memories from five years ago.
