You More than Anything in the World (Arissa)

Chapter 439 Revealing The Truth

“Mommy, we’ll wash our faces on our own. You should wash yours too and have breakfast with us! And you can take some rest after that!” Zachary urged.

“That sounds great!” Arissa replied with a smile. After the kids headed out, she trotted to the bathroom to wash up. Returning to their room, the kids closed the door tight and started their discussion.

“Mommy stayed up all night because she was searching for clues about our missing brother,” Zachary commented. A frown formed between Gavin’s brows. “Why don’t we tell Mommy the truth?”

Oliver bit his lip and nodded in agreement. “I think we have to tell Mommy. If not, Mommy’s body won’t be able to take it if she continues to skip on sleeping.”

“But I’m sure she won’t be able to handle the truth if we tell her now.” An insurmountable worry surged within Jasper. Jesse’s eyes were brimming with tears. “Our brother is such a poor thing. Mommy will be hurt if she finds out about it.”

The five kids were shrouded with worry as they mulled over the problem.

“Well, it’s better to reveal it now than dragging it. After all, Mommy will have to find out the truth someday. She could endure it for one day. But what about today?”

Gavin could not bear to see Arissa that way. He had wanted to continue hiding the truth from her, but learning that she had been staying up to look for clues overnight, he felt his heart sink to the bottom of his stomach.
