Chapter 1094 I Draw Better Than Daddy

At the sight of Jesse's love for drawing, evidenced by her solemnity and the delight dancing in her eyes, an idea popped into Benjamin's mind.

“Yes, I do!” Jesse bobbed her head fervently. Her two ponytails swayed away, rendering her beyond adorable.

Benjamin turned to Arissa and asked, “Did you get an art teacher to teach her?”

Arissa shook her head. “I was the one who taught them!”

For that reason, they all inherited her style of drawing. Regretfully, Zachary, Oliver, and Jasper did not really like drawing. Jesse, on the other hand, loved it.

The three boys were more inclined toward games and computers, so their interests were different.

Benjamin nodded in acknowledgment. “Since she likes drawing so much, I'll have Ethen find her a professional art teacher to teach her so you don't tire yourself out.”

Arissa assured with a smile, “I'm not tired. I only teach them when I'm free.”

“Hence, we still need to find a professional teacher to guide them and cultivate their interest!” Benjamin asserted.

Arissa had no objections as it was for the children's good. “Go ahead, then.”

“All right.” Benjamin kept the children company with her as they drew. Whenever he spotted one of them making a mistake somewhere, he would give them some advice.

Surprise flooded Arissa when she saw that his advice was all on point. “How good are you at drawing?”

“Passable,” Benjamin replied curtly.

Gavin eyed his father before he continued refining his drawing.

Chuckling, Arissa poked her head over and studied Gavin's drawing. “You were the one who taught Gavin?”

“No,” Benjamin denied.

Arissa was again surprised. “It wasn't you? Was it the tutor, then?”

“He drew by himself,” Benjamin explained.

The corners of Arissa's lips twitched. He previously told me you were the one who taught him. Yet, you're denying it.

“How smart of you, Gavin!” She patted her son on the head with affection brimming in her eyes.

Over the moon, Gavin grinned widely. “Mommy, I draw better than Daddy!” he said somewhat arrogantly.

Following that remark, Benjamin pursed his lips. “Better than me?”

“Isn't that so? You weren't as good as me when you were my age!”

Arissa believed Gavin's words since he had seen Benjamin's artworks during the latter's childhood.

Curiously, Oliver interjected, “Where are the drawings you drew when you were young, Mr. Graham?”

“I want to see, too!” Jasper chimed in.

Benjamin glanced at them but said nothing.

Snickering, Gavin whispered, “There are some at Grandpa's house. I'll show them to you when we go over next time!”

Arissa giggled, likewise curious about Benjamin's drawings when he was young. “I want to have a look as well!”

Benjamin rubbed his nose. “What's so interesting to see about them?”

They're awfully childish!

Arissa shot him a sidelong glance. “They can be used as references for the kids.” This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

That left Benjamin without a retort.

“I'm done, Mommy!” Zachary was the first to finish, and his drawing was relatively simple.

However, the color contrast was very much eye-catching.

“Good job!” Arissa admired the drawing for a while before she helped him pack up and put everything back into his bag.

The moment she caught sight of the laptop in his bag, her eyes narrowed a fraction. “You brought your laptop to school, Zachary?”

For a moment, guilt crept into Zachary. “It's just in case of an emergency.”

Arissa merely smiled without lecturing him.

So be it since he likes to delve into computer and technology.

“I'm also done, Mommy!” Jesse brought her drawing over for Arissa's inspection.

Benjamin admired her drawing alongside Arissa. Her drawing skills were already exceedingly developed, with the scenery and figures perfectly depicted.

A sense of pride surged within Benjamin.

He patted Jesse on the head. “You'll definitely place first tomorrow, Jesse!”

“Thank you, Mr. Graham!” At that compliment, Jesse beamed from ear to ear, lethally cute with the dimples adorning her cheeks.

“Oh well, I'll never place first as long as Jesse is here!” Jasper lamented. Despite his words, he was not at all disappointed. Instead, he was proud of his sister.
