Chapter 335 More Than Five

Jonathan snorted, “What’s the message? You could’ve gone through me instead of seeing my client

behind my back.”

After warning Leon, he questioned again, “So? What did you tell her?”

Benjamin is still waiting for my update.

“It was just a short message. I doubt there’s a need for you to be so agitated about it. Besides, it isn’t

really related to the case.”

In response to Leon’s refusal to tell him, Jonathan sharpened his tone.

“Leon, let me remind you again, are you really sure you want to make enemies of Benjamin?”

Once it was known that Benjamin was the plaintiff, many lawyers avoided the case out of fear.

Regardless of how much the Adams family was willing to pay, no one wanted to take the risk.

Coincidentally, Leon was desperate for money and savored the opportunity to fight Jonathan in court.

Otherwise, he, too, wouldn’t have taken the case.

“What in the world did you tell Arissa?” Jonathan demanded to know.

After mumbling some gibberish, Leon finally revealed what he said.

With no time to chide Leon any further, Jonathan called Benjamin at once.

“Benjamin, Leon’s exact words to Arissa on behalf of Danna were, ‘Arissa, do you remember how

many children you gave birth to?’“

Benjamin knitted his brows upon hearing that.

Didn’t Arissa give birth to five children? Why is Danna trying to obfuscate the fact?

“Benjamin, could it be that Arissa gave birth to more than five babies?”

Jonathan’s question startled Benjamin.

Meanwhile, Arissa was stunned when she looked up and didn’t see Benjamin around.

After checking her surroundings, she stared intently at his break room.

Does he really not want the pastries? If he doesn’t, I’m going to finish them all.

At that moment, Arissa couldn’t help but think about Danna’s words and what her intention was.

Should I meet up with her to clarify?

Wrinkling her forehead, she found it difficult to stay calm.

But if I go and see her, wouldn’t I be falling into her trap?

Just then, Benjamin came out of his room, and he noticed Arissa’s expression alternating between

anger and frustration.

He walked over to her table and knocked on it. “What are you thinking about?”

When Arissa looked up, they made eye contact with each other.

She averted her gaze by reflex. “I’m not thinking about anything. Do you really not want the pastries?”

Benjamin stared at her. “No.”

After grunting in acknowledgment, Arissa gathered her emotions and continued on with her work.

Nevertheless, she was unable to focus due to the turbulent emotions raging inside her.

When Benjamin returned to his desk, Arissa’s phone suddenly rang, jolting the two of them.

Benjamin stared intently at her.

Glancing at her phone, Arissa broke into a smile when she saw that it was Gavin on the line.

A glint flashed across Benjamin’s eyes in response.

Arissa answered the call with a gentle voice, “Sweetheart, what is it?”

Even though Benjamin recovered his gaze and continued working, his ears were pricked as he tried to

listen in on their conversation.

“Mommy, what’s for dinner?”

Arissa turned to look at Benjamin.

“I’m still not done with work yet and am not sure if I need to stay back. So why don’t you eat with

Grandpa first?”

“But Mommy, Grandpa wants to eat together with you,” Gavin conveyed Darius’ words.

Arissa felt awkward as Benjamin had insisted that she finish her work.

She lowered her voice. “Then, why don’t you have a talk with Daddy and see what he thinks of it?”

Benjamin raised his brow.

“Mommy, is Daddy stopping you from leaving?”

Gavin then snorted, “I’ll get the driver to pick you up, Mommy. You should just ignore him and sneak

out. Worse comes to worst, you can just quit!

The boy exuded a frosty aura, taking after his father.

“Mommy, you haven’t spent time with us today. Are you not planning to have dinner with us too?”

Moved, Arissa replied with a smile, “All right. I’ll be home for dinner.”

She agreed to her son’s request as she couldn’t bear to disappoint him.

“We’ll be waiting!” Gavin declared excitedly.

With that, he informed Darius and the rest of his siblings at once.

When Arissa heard the children’s cheer in the background, she broke into an affectionate smile.

After chatting for a while longer, she ended the call and accelerated her pace of work.
