Chapter 186
Chapter 186 Must Be Starving
After waiting for a long time, Bradley finally returned.
Initially, he had brought a couple of men along with him. However, traveling in a large group was far too eye-
catching. Hence, Bradley tasked them with roaming the town and informing him if they spotted anything suspicious.
“Mr. Hinton is back!” Gavin exclaimed in joy upon noticing the shining headlights of the car through the window.
“It’s Mr. Hinton!”
The other kids were thrilled too.
Arissa got up with a smile plastered on her face.
“Finally, you are back! We almost starved to death, Bradley!”
Bradley explained apologetically, “One of the car tires punctured on my way back. Hence, I got stalled.”
He quickly grabbed the food from the car.
“Let’s eat first and leave everything for later.”

Arissa took some of the food and hurried into the house.
Bradley placed the food on the table. After washing his hands, he joined them for dinner.
The kids were gobbling up the food, except for Gavin. Still, he ate faster than usual.
“Slow down!” Arissa chastised as she was worried the kids might choke if they gobble up their food too quickly.
Jasper teased, “How could you say that, Mommy? You’re eating really quickly too!”
He was finally feeling energized after eating a hearty meal.
“I’m an adult, whereas you’re all kids! It’s different,” protested Arissa as she took another bite of her food.
“This tastes really good!” exclaimed Gavin as he took another slice of pizza.
Amused by his reaction, Zachary commented, “Of course! Pizzas are the best!”
“Pizza?” Gavin stared at him in confusion. Then, he turned to look at Arissa. “Are all of these pizzas?”
Arissa grinned. “Yes. These are pizzas of different flavors. Each of them tastes great!”
This was Gavin’s first time having pizza.
“I’m glad that you liked it. Don’t worry. I bought lots of them, and I also got us some pasta!”

Bradley got up to serve them the pasta. At that point, he had already finished several slices of pizzas as he was
starving as well.
Anything would taste exceptionally delicious when one was hungry. Furthermore, it was hard for pizza and pasta to
not taste good. Hence, Arissa and the kids could not stop complimenting the food as they ate.
Half an hour later, the group was stuffed after finishing up their scrumptious dinner. They were all satiated and
reluctant to move. Hence, all of them remained on their seats, leaving the table as it was.
Arissa glanced at Bradley and the kids. “What a hungry day, isn’t it?”
Bradley chimed in, “No doubt! Luckily we were able to escape. Otherwise, we would be famished!”
Jasper patted his tummy and said happily, “This is the hungriest day of my life, Mommy!”
Amused, Arissa chuckled and turned to Gavin. “How about you, Gavin?”
Gavin nodded.
Indeed, it was his first time to experience such hunger. In the past, Danna would often leave him without food, but
the longest he had gone hungry was half a day.

“I can still handle the hunger!”
The corners of Zachary’s mouth quirked upward. “Then, why did you eat so much just now?”
Gavin retorted, “You guys were eating, so I ate too. Wouldn’t it be weird if I just watched?”
Arissa watched the two bicker in amusement. Gavin has become so lively now.
“Mommy, I want to watch cartoons!”
Jesse grabbed her hand and gazed into her eyes.
Bradley suggested, “Which cartoon do you want to watch? I’ll play it for you.”
He got up and turned on the television, intending to play the kids some cartoons. Coincidentally, the news channel
popped up almost instantly, and they were reporting about the kidnapping incident.
Arissa and the kids were utterly speechless.
Zachary scoffed angrily, “It’s going to be much more difficult for us to hide now. All thanks to Benjamin! He’s so
cunning!”
Earlier, Gavin had taken a look at the location of the farmhouse and realized it was a strategic hiding spot. Only
keen eyes would be able to notice the house. “He will never find us as long as we stay indoors!” he consoled.
