Chapter 422 Should We Tell Mommy About It

Upon hearing that, Gavin, Zachary, Oliver, and Jasper immediately fell silent.

The smiles on their faces vanished, and they all looked disheartened.

Jesse’s heart sank when she saw their reaction. Her eyes and nose began to turn red. “Is there no

trace of him?”

The four boys looked at Jesse and did not know what to say.

“He…”

Words caught in Jasper’s throat. He could not finish the sentence.

“Stop asking about it, Jesse. Talking about it will only upset Mommy further,” Oliver sniffled and said.

Jesse bit her lip, and tears welled up in her eyes. She had a bad feeling about it.

When Zachary noticed Arissa was coming into the house, he immediately reminded his siblings, “Go

and wash your faces! Mommy’s coming in!”

Jasper, Oliver, and Jesse immediately dashed into the bathroom to freshen up.

Gavin sniffled and went to clean up his face as well. So did Zachary.

Arissa saw the children running to the bathroom but did not question their odd behavior.

She went upstairs directly to get her notebook and was ready to track her missing son’s whereabouts.

The five children gathered in the bathroom to regain their composure. They only got out of the

bathroom after reminding each other not to act weird in front of Arissa.

Yet, the minute they stepped out of the bathroom, they bumped into Benjamin. All of them froze on the

spot and did not know how to react.

Zachary snapped out of his daze and greeted him, “Hey, Mr. Graham!”

Oliver, Jasper, and Jesse followed suit.

Benjamin shot a glance at them. Am I really that scary in these kids’ eyes?

He nodded and let out a deep grunt. Although he tried to tone down his voice, he still sounded

intimidating.

Gavin sneaked a glance at Benjamin and turned to his siblings. “Let’s go and play over there!”

In the blink of an eye, all five children ran off.

Benjamin narrowed his eyes. Why do I feel like that kid is becoming more and more hostile toward me?

He sighed and went to the bathroom.

None of the five children were in the mood to play.

Apart from Jesse who didn’t see it, the four boys were all upset because the image of their brother

being thrown into a dumpster kept replaying in their minds.

Meanwhile, Darius was done preparing dinner for everyone. He told Shaun to call them to the dining

table.

Shaun came into the living room and noticed the dejected mood that everyone was in. “What’s wrong,

kids? Where are your daddy and mommy?”

The five little ones looked at him and responded in a dispirited voice, “Mommy’s upstairs, and Mr.

Graham’s in his study.”

“Well, dinner’s ready. Are you ready to dig in? I’m sure you’re all famished.” Shaun stroked their heads

gently.

“I’ll go and get Mommy.” Zachary ran upstairs.

When he reached the door, he overheard the conversation between Arissa and Bradley.

“The footage from the surveillance camera is gone? Can you find out when it got deleted?” Arissa

asked.

Zachary bit his lip. So Mr. Hinton knew about it too?

“Mommy, time for dinner!”

Arissa turned around and waved at Zachary. She then continued her conversation on the phone,

“Bradley, try to retrieve the footage for me if possible. I’m sure we’ll be able to find a clue or two since

someone intentionally deleted it.”

She ended the call after instructing Bradley to continue with the investigation. Who’s the culprit who

deleted the footage? Could it be Danna? If she’s not the culprit, then who else? Did the person delete

the footage recently or years ago?

Still having no idea where her missing son was, she could only sigh helplessly.

She was deathly afraid that Danna might have harmed her son.

What if she becomes desperate and decides to kill my boy?

“Mommy, it’s dinner time,” Zachary reminded her once again when he saw how worried she looked.

Only then did Arissa return to her senses and walked out of the room. “All right. Come on, let’s go.”

She walked down the stairs with Zachary, feeling down in the dumps.

Zachary took a few glances at her, but she did not notice.

He, too, was feeling miserable. Should I tell Mommy about it? But Mommy might not take it well if I tell

her that our brother is gone. But if I keep it a secret, Mommy will continue to track him down.

Zachary bit his lower lip and knitted his brows. The complicated situation had put him in a quandary.

This is all Danna’s fault. That wicked woman will pay the price for her actions one day!
