Chapter 204 The Term That Costs Ten Billion

Oliver replied with bright eyes, “That’s a stupid question. He obviously wants us to go back!”

Gavin giggled. “Jasper’s right. Instead of waiting for Daddy to come to us empty-handed, we might as well make the first move.”

Jasper looked at Gavin. “Have you told him where we are?”

“Not yet, but that was the term in exchange for the ten billion!” Gavin explained to his siblings.

Oliver did not raise his objection.

Jasper put some thought into Gavin’s explanation and agreed he was right and did not object to it.

“Are we going back? Will he hit us for what we have done?” Jesse pouted with uneasiness as she had never met Benjamin before.

Gavin patted Jesse’s head and comforted, “I don’t think he will hit any of us.”

Seeing his siblings unanimously agreeing to the plan, he stood up and said, “I’ll go tell Mommy about it.”

Although he was the one who negotiated with Benjamin behind Arissa’s back, Gavin knew that he should tell Arissa the truth and let her make the final call.

“Uh-huh. I agree that we should tell her too!” Zachary nodded in agreement. “Otherwise, she will be very angry if she discovers that we had sold our location without telling her.”

Gavin ran out to look for Arissa. Arissa and Bradley were in the kitchen down the stairs. They had prepared extra food as the head of the village was coming over for dinner.

“Mommy, I need to tell you something!” exclaimed Gavin.

Arissa cleaned her hands and walked over to Gavin. “What’s the matter, Sweetheart?”

Gavin spoke softly with a sense of guilt. “Mommy, I made a trade with Daddy.”

“Trade? What trade?” Arissa was shocked and urged Gavin to explain.

“It’s if he gave me ten billion, then I will tell him our location,” said Gavin with a timid voice as his eyes stole glances at Arissa.

Arissa was stupefied for a moment before giggling. She rubbed Gavin’s head and asked, “Did he agree to it? Ten billion is a huge amount of money, and I don’t think he will give it to you that easily.”

Gavin held up his phone and showed Arissa the proof of transfer message. “He already did.”

Arissa looked at the screen and counted the zeros to make sure it was ten billion. Her mouth twitched in disbelief. He transferred the money.

“Ten billion… Is this for real?” Bradley heard their conversation and came over. “Oh, my gosh! That’s a lot of zeros!”

Arissa looked daggers at Bradley for yelling so loud. Bradley immediately covered his mouth in shock. “Sorry! I got too excited.”

“Mommy, you don’t want Daddy to find us, right? I can return the money to him since I didn’t tell him our location yet.” Gavin spoke softly. All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Arissa carried Gavin up and lightly pinched his nose. “Sweetheart, you’re the best! You don’t have to return the money. Tell him where we are now.”

Gavin’s eyes widened. “You’re not angry?”

“Of course, I’m not. And I shouldn’t be! Your father had put up notices all over the place. We may be able to hide for a few days but not for months. That one hundred million as a reward is too alluring, so many people will keep their eyes peeled for us,” explained Arissa.

“I’ll send a message to him right away!” Gavin looked at Arissa.

“Sure!” Arissa nodded.

During that morning, Arissa planned to negotiate the reward to one billion. Unexpectedly, the reward increased tenfold in the blink of an eye. Arissa was over the moon.

I wouldn’t mind the money since it was from Benjamin.

“Boss, are you sure about this?” Bradley was astonished by Arissa’s sudden change in her decision.

“Why not? Ten billion is a lot of money.” Arissa chuckled.

Bradley showed a thumbs up gesture toward Arissa.

After Gavin told the other kids about Arissa’s decision, the York siblings shook their heads in unison. We should have known that Mommy would accept the money.

Gavin proceeded to send their address to Benjamin.

Benjamin saw the message, ordered Ethen to prepare a helicopter immediately, and rushed to their location.

Arissa gathered the kids together with Bradley for dinner in the dining room.

In less than an hour, a whirring sound echoed from outside the house.

Jasper rushed to the window and looked at the sky. “There’s a plane!”
