Chapter 83 A Call From Mommy
Once Arissa’s caller ID appeared on Gavin’s phone, he was flustered in joy.
“Mommy’s calling!”
Upon hearing that, Benjamin’s eyes lit up. He turned around to see the little boy excitedly holding up the
phone and noticed the caller ID that was flashing on the screen.
Gavin hurriedly picked up the phone and shouted in excitement, “Mommy!”
Arissa teared up as soon as she heard his voice. She turned around to wipe her eyes that were
brimming with tears.
She tried her best to conceal her emotions to prevent Gavin from noticing anything unusual.
“Sweetheart! What are you up to now? Is Mommy bothering you while you’re in the middle of
something?”
Arissa was worried that Gavin might see the news online and feel miserable.
“I’m at school, Mommy!”
Both Benjamin and Kingsley gazed surprisingly at Gavin, realizing the latter was lying.
Kingsley was amused. Who knew that even Gavin could lie.

Arissa’s heart was melted by the little boy’s adorable tone.
“Mommy is having dinner with some colleagues. Have you eaten yet, Gav?”
“Yes I have!” answered Gavin enthusiastically.
Arissa let out a chuckle before asking, “Gav, did you surf the web today?”
Gavin questioned innocently, “Anything wrong, Mommy?”
Kingsley was deeply astonished, yet impressed at the same time.
This kid can become such a gentle cutie when talking to his mother. Typically, he would put on a serious
face and behave aloof whenever he’s around us, just like Boss.
“Don’t worry. Mommy’s just asking. Remember not to play on your phone if possible, Gav. There are a lot
of inappropriate things on the internet. Besides, your eyes could be harmed too!” advised Arissa.
Gavin blinked and obediently replied, “Okay, Mommy. I won’t play on my phone.”
“You’re such a good boy!” she praised.
In the meantime, Benjamin could vaguely hear Arissa’s soft-spoken and comforting voice from the
speaker, which was utterly different from the way she spoke to him. A strange feeling rose within him.
“Gav, you go rest now. Mommy needs to return to the dinner party. We’ll talk very soon, okay?”
Arissa didn’t want to be absent from the dinner for too long. After all, she intended to buy her colleagues
dinner to build a good relationship with them.
Gavin nodded. Shortly, he realized that Arissa couldn’t see it. Hence, he said, “Okay! Bye-bye, Mommy!”
Arissa’s grinned and finally put down the phone after he ended the call.
Then, she entered the restroom and fixed her makeup. After calming herself down, she returned to her
seat at the dinner table.
When Arissa entered the room, everybody urged her to try the dishes that were newly served.
Soon, she began eating and chatting with them.
The people from the IT department were down-to-earth.
None of them were into alcohol, so they mainly ate and talked throughout the dinner. Arissa was able to
blend in, and she had a great time.
Inside the car, Kingsley gave Gavin a thumbs up.
“Wow! You learned how to lie, Gavin!”
He would never believe that Gavin would lie if it weren’t witnessing himself. He’s a natural at lying. How

Gavin looked at him and spoke indifferently. “I wanted to give Mommy a surprise.”
Kingsley suppressed his urge to burst into laughter.
As for Benjamin, he took a glance at Gavin and remained silent.
Meanwhile, Danna and her mother, Vivian Shaw, arrived at the Graham residence at Yaleview.
However, they didn’t get to meet Gavin because Edwin stopped them at the door, forbidding them from
entering.
Vivian fumed, “Edwin, what do you mean by this? Danna is Gavin’s biological mother. How could you
stop her from meeting her own son? This is absurd!”
Her irritation flared.
Soon, she began shouting toward the house, “Gavin! Gavin! Granny is here! Mommy is here too!”
Edwin peered coldly at them. “Do not disturb Gavin from resting. It was Mr. Graham who forbade you
from meeting Gavin. Please leave now.”
Edwin deliberately hid the truth that Gavin went to school, so they wouldn’t attempt to find him there.
“Benjamin would never do that! This is ridiculous! Furthermore, he has no right to do so. Gavin is
Danna’s son! This is the fact! How dare you stop us from entering the premises. You are just a butler.
Who are you to stop us?” expostulated Vivian with a forceful tone.
