Chapter 993
“Mommy, what is it?”
Gavin's curiosity was piqued. He hoped that Arissa would tell him what the present was.
“It's a secret,” Arissa replied with an enigmatic smile on her face.
Gavin let out a chortle. His gaze darted from Arissa to Benjamin. “Mommy, are you on Daddy's side now?”
Arissa was amused by the little boy's words.
“Mommy, you can secretly let us know. We won't tell Jesse!”
Tim gave Arissa a puppy-eyed look.
“Hurry up and eat. You will know the answer when you head upstairs later!”
Arissa didn't tell them, as she wanted to help Benjamin keep the secret.
Benjamin's lips curled up slightly.
Kingsley and the others' grew curious as well. However, noticing that Benjamin didn't seem keen to divulge further,
they didn't egg him on and continued to eat their breakfast in silence.
The six children wanted to know what present Benjamin would give Jesse and wolfed down their breakfast.

Arissa found her children's demeanor amusing.
The six children looked at Benjamin and said, “Daddy, hurry up!”
Benjamin's eyes crinkled into a smile as he hummed a response.
The children were delighted and cheered before they continued to eat breakfast.
After they were done, they sat anxiously in their seats as they waited for Benjamin to unveil the surprise.
“Daddy, hurry up!”
Gavin pouted his lips and groaned, 'You're too slow!”
Kingsley was amused and said, “Come, I'm going to take you guys upstairs to have a look!”
The six children turned their attention to him right away, their eyes glinting.
“Mr. Watts, you know where the present is?”
They jumped off their seats and circled around Kingsley.
He patted their heads gently and replied, “Of course. It's in your daddy's room!”
The six kids turned around and headed upstairs right after Kingsley was done.
Arissa smiled and reminded them, “Be careful.”
Kingsley trailed behind them.
Benjamin waited for Arissa to finish before he headed upstairs.
The six children took a spin around the bedroom but found nothing.
They gathered around Benjamin when he was finally upstairs. “Daddy, where's Jesse's present?”
Benjamin shot a glance at the children and turned aside to call Ethen.
Ethen hurriedly handed him a present box and said, “Here, Mr. Graham!”
Then, Benjamin handed the present to Jesse.
“Jesse, open it up!”
Overjoyed, Jesse took over the present.
“Thank you, Mr. Graham!”
She carried the box to the bedside and opened it up. Her eyes lit up at the sight of a little dress in it.
Gavin, Tim, Zachary, Oliver, and Jasper were exhilarated to see the present as well.
“It's a dress!”

Zachary took the dress out of the box and held it up against Jesse to see if it would fit. “It's going to look great on
you!”
Jesse beamed so brightly that her eyes were crinkled. Her brothers felt happy for her as well. “Jesse, now you don't
need to wear the same suit as us.”
The smile on Arissa's face hadn't once diminished when she saw how happy her children were.
Likewise, Benjamin was pleased.
“It does look good. Gavin has got great eyes.”
Kingsley stood by the door and chimed in, “Jesse, hurry up and try it on! You're going to look so pretty.”
He had never seen the little girl wear a dress.
“Ms. Jesse looks so adorable in a dress, like a doll,” Ethen said.
He grew sentimental when he recalled how cute Jesse looked when they used to spend some time together.
Jack cast an envious look at Ethen. “When have you ever seen her in a dress? Even I've never seen her in one!”
“I saw her in a dress once when Mr. Graham went to look for Mrs. Graham,” Ethen explained with a grin on his face.
Arissa recalled the time and cast a dubious look at Benjamin. “Didn't you say you just happened to pass by?”
