The More The Merrier

Chapter 5: This Man Is His Daddy

Zachary chastised his brother, “You've been told to return after buying the things. Yet, you wandered off and made us worry. You must not do this again next time, or I will smack you!”

Gavin froze as it was the first time a kid had ever scolded him. Excluding Benjamin, he was always the one who wanted to hit people back at home.

At that moment, cheers erupted in one corner of the airport.

“Dani! Dani!” Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

“Dani! Abh! Dani! The most beautiful goddess!”

Arissa turned to look at the fans who were pushing their way to the exit in a frenzy.

“Dumb fans. They knocked over our luggage earlier and didn't even apologize!” Jesse scolded, looking adorable as she huffed. Jesse's voice sounded the most feminine out of the four kids.

“I'm genuinely curious as to what celebrity caused these people to act so irrationally!” Zachary snorted.

“Did anyone get hurt?” Arissa was taken aback. If her children remained silent, she would have no way of knowing.

“No. They just knocked over our luggage and ran off!” Zachary grunted and glared over at them.

“They're truly obnoxious. I'm going to show them a thing or two!” Oliver, who also just found out about it, intended to seek vengeance.

Arissa quickly stopped the impulsive Oliver. “Come back.”

Gavin stared at the fans with a look of disdain. “Mommy, let's leave quickly. These people are really annoying!”

Gavin was thoroughly annoyed. Most importantly, he did not want to meet the woman because he was frightened of being identified.

“All right, let's go.” Arissa gathered her children and quickly headed outside. She gave no thought to the celebrity.

Gavin looked over in the direction of the Rolls-Royce and vaguely saw a child in it. He exhaled a sigh of relief. As expected, Jasper had been mistaken for him.

“Mommy, there are a lot of people here. Let's go out that way!” Gavin was afraid of being spotted by the bodyguards. As a result, he took a step forward and tugged on Arissa's hand to guide her to the opposite side. Arissa noticed that the other exit was busier. She couldn't decide whether she should laugh or cry. “Sweetheart, there are more people this way!”

“There won't be too many people! It's easier to grab a ride there,” Gavin lied.

Arissa saw taxis in the direction her son wanted to go and headed in that direction with the rest of her children.

At that moment, a tall figure, surrounded by bodyguards, walked out from the exit.

His features were captivating, and the sunglasses he wore could not hide his intimidating aura.

His reserved and cold aura attracted a couple of stunned gazes from the crowd.

Ethen Frank stayed by the man's side and observed the reaction of the onlookers. He was used to this scene.

His boss was the center of attention no matter where he went.

He looked around the area and noticed a couple of children off in the distance, making him take another look at them. Perhaps it was because of Gavin that he thought children of that age were cute.

The four children wore matching clothing, and each carried a backpack as they gathered around a woman.

Out of curiosity, Ethen took a few looks at them again.

Could they be quadruplets?

He took a look at the woman next to them and was stunned by her figure, even just from looking at her from the back.

Gavin peeked over in Ethen's direction and was alerted to his presence. He turned his head away urgently.

Daddy is here!

Ethen saw the child's side profile and was shocked. “Mr. Graham, Gavin...”

“Get in the car quickly. Don't waste time,” the man said and entered the car.

Ethen reverted his gaze to the car and sighed a breath of relief when he saw a familiar face in it.

He smiled and shook his head. I mistook him for someone else.

“Gavin!”

After greeting the child in the car, he walked over to the driver's side and took another look in the other direction, but he could no longer see the woman and the four children.

Jasper was excited to see a Rolls-Royce when the bodyguards brought him over. All boys loved cars, especially such luxurious ones.

Hence, he did not run away. He ate his cotton candy while he looked and fiddled around in the car.

The bodyguards thought it was strange when they saw his actions. They felt something was different with him as the boy should have been used to it already.

Jasper became aware of their gazes and controlled his expression. He prepared himself to meet “Daddy” person.

If the bodyguards have misidentified me, then there must be another kid who looks like me. This explains why they didn't notice their mistake. Yes. This should be the case. Did Mommy not give birth to quadruplets but quintuplets instead?

Jasper finally met Benjamin not long after.

He looked at the man who got into the car. The man was cold and handsome, and his aura was intense. Jasper swallowed his saliva, which had a hint of sweetness in it.

This man is my daddy?

Jasper's eyes filled with curiosity as he looked at Benjamin.

He looks somewhat like Zachary. This should be Daddy.

Benjamin raised his eyebrows when he saw his son staring blankly at him. “Did you come to pick me up?”

The man spoke in a low voice with a hint of softness in it. It was, however, strict enough that no one dared to defy. He was actually happy that his son came to the airport to fetch him.

Regardless, Benjamin was a stranger to Jasper. The boy felt unsure of himself and did not dare to say anything. He was also worried that Benjamin would learn that he wasn't the boy whose full name he did not even know of.

However, Jasper thought that this man was not too shabby.

He has looks and riches—that's super powerful. He can surely protect Mommy!

Jasper felt a surge of excitement in his heart as he took a bite of his cotton candy.

Benjamin was also used to the fact that his son did not like to talk. He patted Jasper's head, and his eyes lit up when he saw the several cotton candies in Jasper's hand.

Only children liked these things, but he would not turn it down if his son offered him one. “Is this for Daddy?”

Jasper looked at the cotton candies in his hands before turning to look at Benjamin, who had removed his sunglasses. People were afraid to look into his narrow eyes as if meeting his gaze would betray their secrets.

Jasper froze. The cotton candies were for his siblings and not for Benjamin.

“I'll... give you one!” He eventually gave one to Benjamin.

Since he bought five of them, he would not be able to finish them himself anyway. They were all starting to melt.

As he saw his son staring at him, Benjamin took the cotton candy and bit into it. The intense kick of sweetness in his mouth made him uncomfortable, so he wrinkled his brows.

This is too sweet. “Don't eat too much of these sweet things. You'll get cavities!” Benjamin shot a look at his son.

“Gavin, did you buy one for me, too?” Ethen looked at Jasper with a smile on his face. Jasper blinked and shifted forward to give Ethen two cotton candies. He was now left with two for himself. One of them had already been nearly eaten up.

“Thank you, Gavin!” Ethen sat back in his seat and ate his cotton candies happily.

Benjamin's face fell when he realized how generous his son was to Ethen. After taking two bites, he was unable to take another. He then stared at the cotton candy in his hand as he tried to figure out what to do with it.

Jasper noticed that Benjamin was struggling to consume the cotton candy as if it were medicine, so he said in a whisper, “Give it back to me if you don't like it.” It was something Jasper himself would enjoy eating.

Benjamin detected that Jasper was craving them, so he returned the candy. “Next time, if you want to eat something, just buy one. Don't buy too many!”

“Okay!” Jasper replied. He sat in a corner and ate his cotton candy. His eyes glanced over at Benjamin from time to time.
