Chapter 412 Jesse Keeps A Lookout

The five little ones returned to their room and locked the door at once. After putting down their bags,

they started their computers and began their investigation at once.

Meanwhile, Darius was downstairs helping with dinner preparation. One hour had gone by before he

realized that he had not seen the kids for a while.

Hmm… Where are Gavin and the other kids? Could they be upstairs disturbing their mommy’s rest? I’ll

head up and have a look. When Darius headed upstairs, the five little ones were still in their room,

concentrating intently on checking the surveillance footage.

“Guys, this car looks very suspicious!”

Oliver sensed something amiss with a car that he was tracking.

At once, Gavin, Zachary, Jasper, and Jesse inched over, staring at Oliver’s computer screen.

“Zoom in on the person’s face,” Zachary instructed at once, frowning deeply.

Oliver immediately did as told, but they were still unable to see the person’s face clearly.

“Continue tracking this car,” Zachary said before returning to his own computer to track down other

cars.

Darius headed to Benjamin’s bedroom first. When he saw that Arissa was still asleep, he did not enter

the room.

“Benjamin, is Issa not done with her IV drip treatment yet?”

When Benjamin heard his father’s voice, he looked up at the older man and replied, “Just a while

more.”

“Is she feeling better?” Darius asked in concern.

“Yes,” Benjamin replied before continuing, “Dad, you should go back first. Don’t worry about her.”

Darius pressed his lips together and said, “I’m not going back yet. I’m having dinner here. Anyway, I’ll

go take a look at my sweethearts now.”

After saying that, he left and headed toward the children’s room.

When he tried to open the door, he realized that the room was locked.

“Sweethearts, what are you guys doing inside the room?” Darius called out while knocking on their

door.

Immediately, the five little ones widened their eyes and stopped whatever they were doing.

“It’s Grandpa!” the kids whispered to each other in unison.

The next moment, they minimized the windows on their computer desktops.

“Jesse, go and play with Grandpa. We need more time to investigate,” Zachary said to his sister as the

girl was not proficient with working with computers.

Jesse pouted and replied, “But I want to investigate too!”

“You don’t know how to do it. So just leave it to us. We’ll let you know once we find something,” Jasper

said, dragging Jesse toward the door.

“If you don’t go downstairs with Grandpa, we can’t do anything with him around. You’re in charge of

distracting him.”

Jesse’s eyes lit up as she replied, “Don’t worry, Jasper. leave that to me!”

Immediately after, she ran to open the door.

Before Darius could take a clear look at the situation inside the room, Jesse had already slipped out

through the door before shutting it behind her.

“Grandpa, I’m so hungry. Is there anything to eat?” Jesse said, blinking her eyes while hugging her

grandfather’s leg.

Darius’ heart melted at once when he saw his adorable granddaughter. He bent down and picked the

girl up before pinching her cheeks affectionately.

“Yes, there’s food downstairs. Come, I’ll bring you down to eat something. Let’s call your brothers

along.”

Just when Darius was about to open the door, Jesse put her arms around his neck and gave him a

peck on his cheek.

“Grandpa, they are busy studying now. I’ll bring them some food after I finish eating! Let’s go now, I’m

famished!”

Darius was unable to resist the girl’s cuteness and replied, “Sure! We can go first then!”

With that, he carried his granddaughter downstairs to get food.

He watched as Jesse enjoyed the snacks, fruits, and milk, beaming with affection.

“Slow down. There’s still a lot more.”

“I want to finish eating quickly so that I can bring some for my brothers.”

Darius could never get tired of hearing Jesse’s sweet voice.

“Just stay here. I’ll bring some food for them instead,” he said gently while stroking her head.
