Chapter 849 Is It A Candlelight Dinner
Arissa arrived at the school just in time. Before she could get out, the bodyguard said,
“Mrs. Graham, wait a minute!” He got out and glanced around the area to make sure no
danger was lurking around before allowing her to get out.
“Thanks!” Arissa thanked him gratefully. They are so careful, aren’t they?
She recalled what happened this morning and asked, “Has the woman been
released?” “Yes, this morning. She just had to record a statement in the police station.”
Hearing that, Arissa relaxed and went to the school gate. The children were standing in a
line. They were dressed in their smart school uniforms and were carrying backpacks.
Arissa immediately spotted them. “Gavin, Tim, Zachary, Oliver, Jasper, Jesse! This way!”
she exclaimed and waved her hand. Spotting her, the kids ran toward her happily.
“Mommy!” Arissa wrapped her arms around them and ruffled their hair dotingly. After

bade their teachers goodbye.
The teachers beamed and waved at them. “Bye! See you tomorrow!” “Mommy, I got a
sticker today! My teacher praised me!” Jesse showed her sticker excitedly. Arissa chuckled
and stroked her cheek. “Good job, Jesse. Why did the teacher reward you with a sticker?”
The corners of Jesse’s lips curled up into an impish grin. “Mommy, Jesse helped to clean
up in class. She was the best, so the teacher gave her a sticker!” Jasper explained.
“Luckily, I often told you to clean up at home,” Arissa responded cheerfully.
“Mommy, Tim did a good job, too. But he did it slowly as he wanted to make Jesse happy,”
Zachary shared his observation with Arissa.
Arissa gave Tim a grin. “Good job, Tim!”
“I-I did nothing of the sort.” Tim lowered his head shyly.
Squatting down to his height, Arissa held his shoulders and asked gently, “I’m glad to see
you showing love to your sister. Tim, tell me. Did you really give way to her?”
Tim lowered his head and replied softly, “Not really. Jesse did a great job!”
Pleased, Arissa patted his head lovingly.
Tim’s lips curved. “Ms. York, we should go visit Great-grandaunt now!”
“Okay!” Arissa gave them each a kiss before urging them into the car. “Come on. Time to
head to the hospital!”
“Hurry!” Gavin urged his siblings.
Zachary led Oliver, Jasper, and Jesse into the car. Tim then hopped into the car, followed
by Gavin.
Arissa got into the car and shut the door. She made sure the kids were buckled up before
telling the driver to head to the hospital.
“Mommy, why are you early today?” Jasper asked curiously.
“I didn’t go to work today, so I came over earlier than usual.” Arissa pinched the boy’s

“Thanks, Mommy!” The kids passed the cup around and drank the water.
Arissa gazed at them affectionately. When the cup was empty, she refilled it for them.
“Mommy, you should drink some water, too!” Jesse reminded her.
“Sure!” Arissa accepted the cup from her and took a few sips of water.
“Are you hungry?” she asked.
“Mommy, we had a baking class this afternoon and ate a lot. We’re not hungry,” Oliver
replied.
Arissa nodded. “I won’t buy any snacks for you, then. We’re going out for dinner tonight.”
The kids were surprised. “We’re going out for dinner?”
“Yes!” Arissa smiled.
Jasper giggled and teased, “Mommy, is it a candlelight dinner with Daddy?”
