Chapter 28 Is He Her Son

Arissa nodded. She agreed to let Ethen add her to the chat group.

Besides, they exchanged their WhatsApp IDs.

After they walked into the elevator, Ethen carefully asked, “Ms. York, I didn’t know you were married. All this while I thought you were single.”

Arissa was stunned for a moment. Then, she smiled faintly. “I’m not technically married. Is there a problem?”

“Nope!” Laughing, Ethen replied, “I never expected you had children already. How old are they?”

“They’re five years old, and the reason I wanted to leave is so that I can settle their school enrollment procedures by today.”

Since I brought the kids back, I need to send them to preschool. I feel worried if I leave them at home all the time.

“Do you need any help?” Ethen asked with concern.

“It’s okay. I had already contacted the school before I came back. I’m going to settle the paperwork today. But, thanks for the offer anyway,” Arissa replied politely.

Ethen nodded.

Before they walked out of the elevator, Arissa wondered if she should ask about Benjamin’s personal information from Ethen.

Then, some people greeted Ethen and curiously inquired who she was. Ethen patiently introduced her to everyone, and she responded with a polite smile.

“Ms. York, what do you think of our company?” Ethen asked as he sent her out of the door.

Arissa answered, “Not bad. I love the lively working environment here.”

Ethen was nonplussed. “That’s because you haven’t really started working here yet. Once you start working, you’ll know. Mr. Graham is very strict with his workers, and I sincerely hope he will not scare you away.”

Arissa raised an eyebrow. “Yes, I noticed that when I had a short conversation with him earlier. But it’s all right. I’ll get used to it!”

As her job revolved around data and figures, it was cut and dry. She had nothing to worry about, especially her boss’ mood. No one could deny her work if she did it decently.

Ethen was impressed by her positive attitude. “Just contact me anytime if you need my help.”

Arissa nodded. After some thought, she said, “You don’t have to follow me to the car. But, Mr. Frank, may I ask you something?”

“Sure! Please ask away.” Ethen was taken aback as he saw her hesitation.

“Does Mr. Graham have a child?” Arissa inquired carefully in a low voice. She was afraid that someone would get the wrong idea about her if they overheard her asking Benjamin in person.

Benjamin did not trust her that much in the first place. If she asked about his private life, he would think she was interested in him. Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

Ethen was stunned for a moment as he was a little surprised by Arissa’s question.

He answered with a smile, “Oh, didn’t you know? Mr. Graham has a son.”

Does Ms. York have a crush on Mr. Graham?

Ethen stared at Arissa. He noted the shock written on Arissa’s face, but he could see that there was not the slightest hint of disappointment.

He was confused because Arissa looked quite excited as he broke the news.

“All right, thank you. I shall leave now then,” Arissa said as she came back to her senses. Then, she turned away and left.

Ethen glanced at her and left after a moment.

Arissa crossed the road and sat on a bench beside the road. Her heart was racing.

Benjamin has a son. Is that my son? How is he? Is Benjamin treating him well?

But when she thought about Danna and Benjamin’s relationship, and then the child, her mind was in a mess.

She quickly gave Bradley a call.

Her voice was trembling as she spoke. “Bradley, help me to look up Benjamin Graham. And try to get a picture of his son.”

“Boss, don’t you think it’s too risky to investigate Benjamin Graham?” Bradley asked hesitantly. “Unless… You suspect Benjamin’s son is the child that someone took away from you?” He was shocked by this realization.

“I’m not sure. I’ve met Benjamin, and he looks a lot like my children,” Arissa lowered her voice as she thought it was inappropriate to talk about it openly near the main road.

“Anyway, help me check up on Benjamin Graham,” she repeated her words.

“All right!”

She hung up and rested for a while before she took a taxi back.
