Chapter 856 Second Pregnancy
“Yes, Dad?” Arissa stood and approached Darius. With a nod, the old man said, “Just leave them be for now. Have some coffee!” “Okay!” She then poured coffee for Darius.
“This isn’t good enough, you know that, right, Issa? Once we get back home, you need to pour coffee for me again!” Darius joked around.
“No problem!” She laughed before placing fruits and snacks in front of him. “Have some snacks, Dad! Don’t just drink coffee.”
The more Darius stared at the sensible Arissa, the more he felt satisfied. “Were you the one who brought up the topic of getting the marriage certificate or him?”
A tinge of awkwardness was heard in Arissa’s voice. “It’s him!”
He nodded with relief. “Did he mention any conditions when he brought it up?”
That question stunned her because she didn’t understand what he was trying to ask. Therefore, she just told him how Benjamin proposed to her last night.
Darius let out a hearty laugh. “I didn’t expect that brat to do such a thing! Maybe you should reject him and make him panic.”
Arissa and William chuckled too, though the latter did so in secret.
“Daddy will get angry if you give Mommy ideas like that, Grandpa!” Gavin reminded.
Staring at the boy, Darius said, “Hmph! I’m not afraid of him getting angry.”
After returning to the ward, Benjamin saw the children feeding Mary, and his wife chatting with his father.
Subsequently, he sat next to Arissa and asked, “What are you all talking about?”
Darius glanced at him with a grin. “We were talking about how you proposed to Issa!”
Raising his eyebrow, Benjamin turned his head to her. “What did you tell him?”
She pursed her lips. “I didn’t say anything to Dad yet.”
He fixed his eyes on her and was staring at her so intently that it made her face blush slightly with embarrassment.
Turning back to Darius, Benjamin asked, “Have you found a good date?”
Darius’ eyes glimmered smugly. “I thought you would never ask.”
Patiently, Benjamin waited for his father’s answer.
“I’m thinking your wedding should take place on the sixth day of the next month. I was told that’s a good date to hold a wedding!”
Arissa was stunned before she checked her phone. There are less than twenty days left until the wedding.
Suddenly, she began to panic. “Isn’t this kind of rushing it?”
“What rush? Your children are already this old! And both of you have gotten your marriage certificates. If you two wait any longer, your second pregnancy will happen first,” Darius scolded.
Awkwardness crept into her heart. Her face blushed again when she thought about what had happened two days ago. I didn’t use any protection, and neither did Benjamin, I believe. I’m not going to get pregnant, am I? I’ve been taking medicines to take care of my body, so it probably won’t happen. Additionally, the doctor said it wouldn’t be easy for me to get pregnant again after I was injured after giving birth to the six children.
Benjamin glanced at her and then at his father. “Do you think we have enough time?”
With a resolute tone, Darius said, “Yes. Even if the wedding is held tomorrow, I can make it happen for you two! You two don’t need to worry about it. I’ll handle it!”
William smiled. “You two should know that after Old Mr. Graham went back this morning, he had already ordered people to start the preparation for the wedding. All you need to do is to attend it, Mr. Graham, Mrs. Graham!”
No words left Arissa’s mouth as she smiled because she wasn’t mentally prepared for it yet.
On the other hand, Benjamin was fine with it. As long as Dad and the others think there’s enough time to set things up, I’m okay with it.
“What about the preparation for Tim and the other’s trip to pay respect to their ancestors?” he asked.
The old man glanced at him. “The preparation is done. Just remember to show up on time when the day comes.”
With a nod, Benjamin made a mental note.
After Mary finished her meal, Darius returned home with William.
