Chapter 3 Misidentifying The Son
“I’m sorry! We don’t want to take any pictures! Thank you for taking an interest in us, but you better stop
taking pictures,” Zachary pleaded.
After turning down the crowd’s request, he approached Jasper and tapped him on the shoulder to warn
him not to let other people take pictures of him.
Jasper stuck out his tongue at his elder brother. Nevertheless, he followed Zachary’s advice and ceased
his poses obediently.
Not only was the public not angry at the rejection, but they were also impressed by Zachary’s politeness
in handling the situation. They continued to watch the quadruplets with interest.
As more curious onlookers began to gather around them, Arissa hurriedly shouted at her children,
“Come on, kids! Let’s move faster!” They could not afford to stay any longer to avoid causing congestion
at the airport.
The four young children immediately followed their mother’s lead and moved away from the crowd.
However, Oliver York suddenly called out to Arissa, “Mommy, I want to pee. I had too much juice on the
plane just now.”
Oliver clamped his legs together while looking desperately for any sign of a restroom. As soon as he saw
a sign, he wanted to rush toward it.
“Okay, I’ll bring you guys over there!” Arissa prompted.
She also wanted to use the restroom, so she let her children enter first as she watched over their
luggage.
“Zachary, I need to poop!” Oliver told his elder brother before rushing to an empty cubicle.
“Ugh, you’re so troublesome. Hurry up!” Zachary admonished him before leading Jasper and Jesse out
after washing their hands.
“Mommy, we’re done. You can go in now. Also, Oliver is still inside.”
“Okay, you guys be good and wait for me here. Remember not to wander off on your own!” Arissa
reminded her children before entering the ladies’ restroom.
“Gosh! I wonder when Dani will arrive. I’ve been waiting since four o’clock. Yet, there’s still no sign of
her!”
“Four o’clock? I’ve been waiting here since last night, just in case I missed her flight!”
“There! Dani’s plane has finally arrived! Come, follow me!”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“What? Wait for me!”
Someone in the crowd exclaimed, and hurried footsteps could be heard coming from outside, heading
toward the entrance.
Arissa was baffled by the crowd’s reaction to the repeated mentions of a person called Dani.
Who is she? A celebrity? They sounded like a group of young fans. Well, only fans would be in that kind
of frenzy for their idol.
Zachary stood beside the family’s luggage along with his two younger siblings. Suddenly, a group of
people dashed out of the ladies’ restroom, and they headed in the same direction. The three siblings
jumped back in fright. Some of their luggage was knocked over by the running mob.
Zachary swiftly pulled the other two to the side to avoid getting hit by the rushing crowd.
“What are they doing? They didn’t even bother to apologize for knocking over our stuff! How rude!”
Jasper glared at the girls’ retreating form with anger.
“Stupid fans!” Zachary protested. Jesse helped her brother in lifting the luggage and echoed, “I know,
right? They’re so stupid!”
“If their parents knew about their awful behaviors, they would surely regret giving birth to them!” Jasper
harrumphed while waiting obediently for Arissa.
Jesse stood next to her older brothers while looking at her surroundings curiously. Then, her eyes
stopped at the sight of multiple children with cotton candy in their hands. She swallowed and pointed.
“Look! They have cotton candy over there!”
Jasper quickly glanced in the direction and found the store his younger sibling was pointing at. He then
tugged the hem of Zachary’s shirt excitedly and said, “I’m going over there to buy some cotton candy for
us!”
“Mommy told us to wait here. So don’t run off on your own!” Zachary advised despite also wanting to get
a taste of the confection.
They did not have cotton candy overseas. They only found out about such a thing from Arissa after
seeing it on the internet.
“Come on! I’ll be back immediately once I’ve bought the cotton candy. Mommy and Oliver are still inside
the restroom. I’ll be back in a flash!”
With that, he ran over to the store, leaving Zachary unable to do anything to dissuade his brother. “Be
careful!”
“I know!” Jasper cheered as he sprinted toward his destination.
On the other side of the airport, a group of bodyguards looked around frantically for someone.
“Oh, no! This is bad. Gavin has disappeared!”
“Hurry up and find him! If Mr. Graham finds out about this, we’ll be skinned alive!”
The bodyguards hastily scattered in different directions, hoping to find Gavin before Benjamin returned.
The airport was of average size. Nonetheless, with it being jam-packed with people, it would be a
daunting task for anyone to search for a missing child.
After searching for a while, one of the eagle-eyed bodyguards spotted a familiar figure with cotton candy
in hand in front of a store.
“I’ve found him! Gavin is over there buying cotton candy.” The bodyguard excitedly informed the rest of
his colleagues.
In less than a minute, they quickly gathered around Jasper.
“Gavin, we’ve found you at last! Please don’t give us such a fright anymore! There are too many people
in the airport. It’s too dangerous to run off on your own. Come on, let’s return quickly! Mr. Graham will
come out very soon.”
They did not wait for Jasper’s response, nor did they notice the difference in the appearance of the
young boy. One bodyguard took the cotton candies, while another picked him up and darted off to
another place.
Jasper was rendered speechless as he was stunned by their sudden actions. What is going on?
Regardless, he came to his senses soon enough.
“Hey! What on earth are you doing? Let go of me quickly! Or I’ll scream!” Jasper fiercely warned the
group of black-clad bodyguards. He intended not to show them how frightened he was at that moment.
“Gavin, please stop fooling around! Your daddy will be worried sick if he finds out that you have
disappeared!”
The bodyguards concluded that the little one was pulling a prank on them. They continued to coax him
as they rushed toward the Rolls-Royce without further delay.
Jasper’s eyes widened in fear.
Am I being kidnapped?
“Help! Mmph!”
Jasper struggled to break free as he tried to call for help, but the bodyguard immediately covered his
mouth to muffle his voice.
He frantically bit the bodyguard’s palm in return. Unfortunately for Jasper, the guy did not let go of him as
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmhe continued to move forward.
“Gavin, please don’t be angry at us. I’ll release you once we’re back in the car.”
The bodyguard was not furious at Jasper for biting his hand as he continued to coax him patiently.
These bodyguards had learned their lesson that day. They would not dare to let him out of their sight in
fear that he might run off again.
After all, this was not the first time Gavin had hidden away from them.
“Gavin, there are too many people here. Just let us know if you want to eat anything, and we’ll buy it for
you. What if you ran into people and got hurt?”
The other bodyguards kept trying to talk some sense into him.
Huh? Who is Gavin?
Jasper was dumbstruck at the sudden realization.
These men had called him by that ever since they took him away. Furthermore, they mentioned
something about a daddy just now.
Jasper silently observed the dozen or so well-trained bodyguards around him. There was not a single
hint of malice on their faces. With that confirmation, his anxiety quickly subsided.
Jasper kept his gaze on them as he pondered about the current situation.
These men are behaving as if they are familiar with me. I certainly don’t know them! Perhaps they have
mistaken me for someone else?
Jasper heaved a sigh of frustration. He planned to go along with them for the time being.
Even if he was kidnapped by these strangers, the chances of him escaping from their grasp were close
to zero.
Meanwhile, Arissa could only see Zachary and Jesse when she exited the restroom. “Oliver still hasn’t
come out? Where’s Jasper?” she asked.
“Mommy, Jasper went to buy cotton candy. Oliver is still inside the restroom.” Zachary glanced at the
cotton candy store.
However, his sight was blocked by a sea of people. Zachary frowned as he failed to locate his younger
brother. Didn’t you promise to return soon?
“Where did he run off to?” Arissa clicked her tongue. Despite her nagging, she was not mad at Jasper.
She knew her third son had a superb sense of direction. Regardless of how unfamiliar the place was, he
would always find his way back to her.
