Chapter 52 She Looks Like His Mother

“Okay!”

After he spoke, Jasper remembered that his current phone and number were still his own, and he would be exposed if he took out his phone.

“Go and get your phone. I’ll enter my number for you so that you can call me anytime!” Although we can’t stay together, we can keep in touch via phone call.

As a mother, Arissa wanted to stay connected with her long-lost son.

“Mommy, let me read my number for you. My phone is out of battery. How about you write down your number for me?” Jasper blinked before he rushed to get a paper and a pen.

Arissa smiled as she watched the little boy running away.

Not long after that, the kid returned to her mother. Subsequently, Arissa wrote down her number on the paper.

“Sweetheart, this is my number. You can call me anytime and anywhere.”

“Wow! That’s great! Can I call you if I miss you?”

Looking at the kid’s joyous face, Arissa replied with an affectionate look, “Of course!”

Jasper smiled in satisfaction and read Gavin’s phone number to her.

Arissa saved it before she made a call to the number. Then, she quickly hung up before it connected.

Jasper was initially nervous when he saw Arissa making the call but was quickly relieved after seeing the call did not get through.

“I’ve made a call to your phone. You should be able to see my number after you turn on your phone,” said Arissa with a smile.

“Okay. I’ll set you as my first contact person!” Jasper grinned with joy.

Arissa was touched upon hearing his words. When she first met the kid, whom she thought was Gavin, she was very fond of him. She felt grateful to have him back again.

Arissa picked up Jasper and sat on the couch, continuing to chit-chat.

Jasper described his life in Benjamin’s house these few days, and Arissa listened to his words with relish.

Little did they know that someone was standing outside the room. It was Benjamin, and he eavesdropped on their conversation. However, for him, their chat was nothing special.

Just when he turned around and was about to leave, he spotted Edwin at the stairs.

Edwin was about to say something, but Benjamin raised his hand to stop him and walked over to him.

“Mr. Graham!” Edwin looked at Benjamin.

“Leave them alone for a moment,” ordered Benjamin as he beckoned Edwin to go downstairs.

Edwin peeked at the boy’s room before leaving with Benjamin with a plateful of fruits.

Glancing at Benjamin, he was puzzled as to why his employer would let a stranger stay with Gavin.

On the other hand, Arissa had fun with Jasper until the sun went down. At that moment, she suddenly thought of the other kids.

Looking back at her long-lost kid, she hated to leave him again.

She texted Zachary that she would be a little late going back home and asked him to pass some reminders to the other kids before she continued to play with Jasper.

Meanwhile, Jasper knew what was on his mother’s mind while examining her facial expression.

“Mommy, you have someone in your home that you need to take care of, don’t you?”

Hearing the little guy address her as his mother, Arissa had a delusion that Jasper was the one who called her.

She replied with a soft voice, “You’re right. I have four other children in my house.”

Jasper cast a surprising look. “Really? Can I go to your house and play with them?”

Arissa smiled and rubbed his head. “Of course! You’re welcome to come to my house anytime as long your daddy allows it.”

Jasper grinned. “Daddy will definitely let me!”

Soon, Edwin called them to dinner. Upon hearing that, Arissa grabbed Jasper’s hand and was about to exit the room.

“Mommy, let’s go for dinner. Mr. Whitley is an excellent chef!” stated Jasper with smiling eyes.

After a nod, Arissa responded with a smile, “Let’s go!” She could not keep her eyes from her kid.

As soon as they opened the door, Edwin was already waiting nearby.

He greeted with a smile, “Ms. York, the dinner is ready, and Mr. Graham is waiting downstairs. You can join him for dinner now.”

“Sure.” Arissa nodded before she descended the staircase hand in hand with Jasper.

Jasper was also delighted to finally be able to feast on a lavish dinner with his mother.

Seeing her happy-looking child, Arissa subconsciously curled up her lips into a smile. At that point, a motherly love emanated from her eyes as she watched Jasper. Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

“Stop jumping and take it slow when you’re on the staircase. Or else you will get a fall!”

Jasper stuck out his tongue when Arissa lectured him.

Meanwhile, Edwin, who followed them behind, was astounded when he saw how they interacted.
