Chapter 748 Look At Your Mommy
Gavin started panicking, but at the same time, he was a little excited to see what might happen next. The way Benjamin called Jesse had also aroused Tim’s curiosity.
“Come here!” Benjamin gestured at Jesse. The little girl blinked and reacted like how Arissa would when the latter was anxious. A glint flashed across Benjamin’s eyes. He turned his attention to Arissa and saw the woman patiently feeding Mary while wearing a tender expression.
Her side profile was so gorgeous that he could not take his eyes off her. Jesse does look a lot like her. Even the five boys don’t bear as much a resemblance to Arissa as Jesse.
Benjamin had a puzzled look on his face. The six little ones giggled when they saw how he gazed at Arissa without blinking.
Shaun, too, could not hold his laughter. He wished he could snap a photo of Benjamin while the latter was staring at Arissa, but he did not dare to do so.
It was Oliver who fished out his phone from his pocket and discreetly snapped a photo of the man. A suspicious look fleeted across Benjamin’s eyes when he looked over.
The little boy nearly dropped his phone in panic. Benjamin raised his brows and asked Oliver, “Did you take a photo with your phone? What did you take?”
Oliver steadied himself and answered, “You!”
Shaun laughed and tousled the boy’s hair. “I wanted to snap a photo of your daddy too but didn’t have the courage to do so.”
Oliver turned around, looked at Shaun, and asked, “Will he be mad at me?”
Shaun pinched his cheek. “I’m sure he won’t be mad at you.”
Oliver heaved a sigh of relief.
Zachary and Jasper also snuck a glance at Benjamin. When they noticed he did not throw a fit, they mustered up the courage and said what they had in mind.
Jasper exclaimed, “You looked so focused when you were staring at Mommy!”
Embarrassment was written all over Benjamin’s face. He responded with a low voice, “Can’t I look at your mommy?”
Gavin chuckled. “Of course you can, Daddy. You think Mommy is pretty, right?”
He spoke so loudly that even Arissa could hear it from a stone’s throw away.
She met Benjamin’s gaze when she tilted her head to look in his direction.
Out of embarrassment, she quickly looked away.
There was a hint of gentleness in Benjamin’s eyes.
Mary was pleased to see that they had feelings for each other. She ate more than she usually did since she was in a good mood.
“There’s still some soup left, Grandaunt. You can drink it if you feel hungry later!” Arissa reminded her.
Mary nodded. “Got it. Well, it’s time for you to go home since I’ve taken my meal. Go and spend more time with the children’s father instead of accompanying me here at the hospital. Go on a date or something!”
Arissa blushed instantly. “Oh please, Grandaunt!”
Mary lowered her voice and said, “Benjamin had that gentle look on his face when he was staring at you!”
Arissa’s heart started racing upon hearing that.
“You’ve been here for hours, and it’s getting late now. Better get going since you have to work tomorrow, and the kids have school. Go home and take a good rest. You can always come and visit me on weekends!” Mary urged them to leave the hospital.
After tucking Mary in bed, Arissa gestured for the children to come over. “Come here, Sweethearts. We’re leaving soon. Say goodbye to Great-grandaunt!”
“We’re going to leave now? So soon?” The little ones were reluctant to leave.
They rushed over, gathered around her bed, and said, “We don’t want to go home, Great-grandaunt. We’ll stay here to keep you company!”
“But we’ve just been here for a while! We don’t want to leave. We want to stay here with you! Please, Great-grandaunt. Let us stay with you!” They did not feel like leaving.
Mary chuckled while stroking their heads gently. “You’ve been here for hours, and it’s getting late. Daddy and Mommy must be exhausted since they’ve been at work the whole day. All of you still have to go to school tomorrow, so go back and rest early, okay?”
“But I haven’t told you about things that happened in school, Great-grandaunt!” Tim clung to Mary’s arm.
Mary responded with an affectionate smile. “You can tell me about it tomorrow. How about that? I’ll need to sleep soon too. All of you better get going!”
