Arissa stroked Gavin's head. “You've seen it before, Gavin?”

Tilting his head a fraction, Gavin pondered for a moment.

“I've seen it once when Mr. Watts brought it up with Daddy, asking why he kept so much cash on hand instead of investing it.”

In truth, Arissa had the same question.

“What was his answer?”

“I forgot!” Scratching his head, Gavin flashed her a sheepish smile.

At that, mirth bubbled within Arissa.

Suddenly remembering that Darius had also given her a monetary gift, she furtively took it out and peeked into the envelope. At the sight of a bank card, surprise inundated her.

“Oh? Who gave you this, Mommy?” Oliver's eyes lit up, and he was thrilled to the core.

“You've got tons of money now, Mommy!” Jasper exclaimed happily.

Arissa chuckled softly. “This is from your grandpa.”

She studied the bank card, but she couldn't tell how much money was in it.

Well, I thought he gave me cash.

“Mommy, you've got a fortune now, so you don't need to work anymore!” Jesse hugged her, as happy as a clam.

Caressing her head, Arissa countered, “I've still got to work. Otherwise, I'll turn into a lazy bug.”

“That's okay. You've already married Daddy, so he'll support you henceforth!”

Gavin beamed so widely that his eyes crinkled.

“Don't work yourself to the bone anymore, Mommy!” Zachary reminded Arissa solemnly.

In turn, Arissa was rendered speechless. “When have I worked myself to the bone?”

Zechery merely smiled without seying enything.
