Chapter 352 Come Here To See You
Arissa grinned. “Goodnight, Sweethearts.”
“Goodnight, Mommy!”
The five little ones greeted her goodnight but still kept staring at her.
That filled her heart with affection, so she leaned forward and gave each of them a peck on their cheeks. “I’ll go and take a bath now.”
“Okay!” They nodded.
After tucking them in, she left the room to take a bath.
Arissa had just stepped out of the bathroom when Benjamin walked in. In a panic, she immediately held onto the towel wrapped around her body, covering her chest.
However, as soon as she recalled his words from before, she released her grip and started drying her hair with a hairdryer.
The man’s gaze landed on her curvaceous body, and his eyes darkened.
Having perceived his gaze, Arissa shot him a glance.
Benjamin then walked over. “Let me help you.”
He took the hairdryer from her and continued drying her hair.
Arissa took another glance at him and asked, “What are you doing here?”
Burning passion rose within his dark eyes as he took in her rosy cheeks. “Can’t I just come here to see you?”
When she met his gaze, her eyes flickered.
Benjamin swallowed hard when her scent wafted into his nose.
Feeling his warm breath on her ears, Arissa blinked.
As he continued to dry her hair in sections, he could not stop his gaze from lingering at her fair chest.
The moment she tilted her head to look at him and saw him staring down at her body, she cleared her throat.
That noise caused him to raise his gaze. His deep and dark eyes were like an abyss that could suck a person’s soul out of their body.
“Why do you keep staring at me?” Arissa asked, giving him a side-long glance.
“Can’t I look at you?”
The woman let out a mirthless laugh and deliberately taunted him with his own words. “I remember someone said that I don’t have a nice figure!”
Benjamin knitted his brows. Have I ever said that?
She laughed inwardly upon noticing that he was stumped for a response. “What’s wrong, Graham? Why are you so quiet?”
Narrowing his eyes, he pinned her to the couch and leaned downward.
He pressed his hands against the couch and locked her in his arms.
Arissa stared at him and asked, “Are you trying to force yourself on me?”
As she spoke, she reached out her hand to caress his chest.
Benjamin’s Adam’s apple bobbed up and down when he perceived the smirk on her face.
Suddenly, he stood up and headed out. “Come and apply the ointment for me later!”
Arissa blinked. That’s it? He’s leaving?
“Ointment? I thought you’ve recovered?”
Benjamin walked to his bedroom.
Arissa pouted. After tidying up the bathroom and changing into her pajamas, she went to the children’s room.
All five of them had fallen asleep.
Arissa sat on the edge of the bed and gently stroked their faces.
Suddenly, her nagging doubt once again appeared in her mind.
Had I really given birth to more than five kids that year, I guess the other child should be around their height and weight?
A pucker formed between her eyebrows. Is the child doing all right? I tremble to think that something terrible has happened to them.
Arissa bit her lip.
She hated herself for being a useless mother who failed to protect her own children.
I wouldn’t have been separated from my child for years if it weren’t for that woman.
She gently ran her fingers on Gavin’s cheeks, and in response, the sleepy boy rubbed his face against her palm.
Just as she leaned forward and landed a peck on his cheek, Benjamin’s voice sounded from a distance. “Arissa!”
Arissa immediately returned to her senses.
“Bring something over for me!” The man’s voice sounded again, carrying an authoritative tone.
She then stood up and walked toward his room.
Benjamin was taking a shower in the bathroom.
When she neared the door, she asked, “What do you need?”
“Get me my towel!” came his voice amidst the sound of running water.
Arissa’s lips twitched, and she grumbled, “Why didn’t you grab it before taking a shower?”
Despite her complaint, she still went to the closet to get him a towel.
