Chapter 754 He Must Have Fought With Daddy
“It’s time you go home!” Benjamin uttered coldly. Verily, he didn’t want to hear Darius saying all that. Darius sighed,
rather worried to see how stubborn his son was.
“Issa has feelings for you, so don’t wait until you lose her to regret it! If you have feelings for her, too, do something
to reciprocate her feelings. Otherwise, keep your distance from her. Don’t keep your relationship ambiguous like
this.”
“I’m not you!” Benjamin interrupted icily. Darius’ expression changed. He gazed at the man for a while before
getting to his feet and leaving. When he returned to the living room, he called William along to leave.
“Are you not going to stay for a while longer, Old Mr. Graham?”
Noticing that his expression was gloomy, Arissa was very much worried. “No, it’s okay. I’m old, so I’ve got to go
home and rest earlier.”
Darius flashed her a forced smile. Waving at her, he then left. All six children were wholly perplexed. “Why did
Grandpa leave so abruptly?” Oliver wondered.
Gavin glanced at the study. “He must have fought with Daddy.”
At once, everyone swung their gazes at Gavin. Looking at her son, Arissa inquired, “Do they fight often,
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSweetheart?”
Gavin blinked. “It has happened many times.”
“Do you know why?”
Arissa tried to pry information out of him. Alas, Gavin shook his head, for he had no idea either. Arissa caressed his
head. The moment she saw Edwin approaching with some snacks, a flash of something flittered across her eyes.
“Old Mr. Graham has left?” Edwin asked when he didn’t see Darius around. Arissa nodded. “Yeah, he just left a while
ago.”

Subsequently, she queried, “Edwin, do you know what’s wrong between Old Mr. Graham and Benjamin? Could you
tell me?”
“Don’t worry about this, Mrs. Graham. That’s a problem between the two of them. If I were to tell you, Mr. Graham
would fly into a rage when he learns about it.”
Edwin didn’t dare tell her about it. Arissa’s brows furrowed deeply. If that’s the case, the problem between them is
really not trivial. “Don’t worry, Mommy. Daddy and Grandpa have always gotten along like that!” Gavin asserted in
consolation.
“Did Mr. Graham do something wrong, or did Grandpa?”
Zachary looked at Edwin curiously. Edwin chuckled, not quite sure how to explain it to the young boy. “Both of them
did something wrong.”
They’ve both got their faults. Seeing that he was reluctant to say anything, Arissa didn’t continue pursuing the
question, lest she put him in a difficult position.
She accompanied the children while they did their revisions in the living room. Tim read to her. Clocking his
seriousness, she felt proud on his behalf.
“Sweetheart, this is pronounced without the alphabet ‘h’ in the front.”
Tim hurriedly noted it down and read it aloud to her once more. “Was that right, Ms. York?”
Arissa nodded. “Yup, that was exactly it! How amazing, Sweetheart! Keep up the great work!”
Tim smiled shyly upon receiving her compliment. “I will!”
Arissa continued checking on the other children. All that was a piece of cake for Gavin, Zachary, Oliver, and Jasper.
Only Jesse was having trouble reading. In fact, she was even worse than Tim.
“Jesse, you’ve got to learn from Tim. He has only started attending school, but he has mastered it. Yet, you’re still

Sometimes, Arissa was quite worried about Jesse’s studies.
“I can’t master it, Mommy. I understood when the teacher taught me, but I can’t remember after that.”
Jesse pouted, looking all pitiful.
Arissa was tickled pink by the girl’s expression. “You’ve got to memorize it! If you can’t remember, read it a few
more times.”
“She’s just lazy, Mommy!” Jasper chimed in.
Oliver eyed Jesse with amusement in his gaze. “She doesn’t remember even if I teach her.”
Amused and slightly exasperated at the same time, she said, “Sweetheart, if you don’t study hard, you’ll become a
silly billy.”
“No! I don’t want to become a silly billy!”
Jesse stuck out her lower lip.
“Don’t be sad. I’ll teach you!” Gavin consoled.
“if you can teach her, Gavin, I’ll be very much impressed!”
Arissa was at her wits’ end when it came to Jesse, for the latter wasn’t as intelligent as her brothers and was slow in
whatever she learned.
“I can do it, Mommy!”
Gavin nodded solemnly.
“I’ll also teach Jesse when I’ve mastered it!” Tim vowed.
