You Do Not Have To Go To Work
Benjamin arched his brows and replied, “Yup. Did they wake you up?”
Arissa shook her head in response.
“Then, how did you know that they were here?” Benjamin asked curiously, looking at her.
“I detected their smell,” Arissa answered softly.
The man chuckled and replied, “Sleep for a while more. Don’t go to work today.”
Surprised by his thoughtfulness, Arissa looked at Benjamin and said, “Thanks, Mr. Graham!”
“Get some sleep. I’ll send the kids to school,” Benjamin replied, fixing his gaze on the woman, before
heading to the bathroom to wash up.
Meanwhile, instead of going back to sleep, Arissa fell into deep thought while lying on the bed.
Benjamin noticed the woman’s thoughtful expression when he came out of the bathroom. Arching his
brows, he lay on his side and asked, “Why are you not sleeping?”
Arissa turned to look at him and sat up.
“I already woke up. I’m not sleepy anymore.”
Benjamin walked toward his wardrobe while replying, “Why don’t you go and wash up then? We’ll head
downstairs for breakfast in a while.”
Arissa noticed that Benjamin was behaving in a much gentler manner that day and shot a glance in his
direction.
When she was washing up in the bathroom, she noticed that the man’s toothbrush was placed neatly
beside hers, and her heart skipped a beat.
Does this mean that we’re already cohabiting?
While Arissa was brushing her teeth, she thought about whether she should look for Danna later.
After washing her face, the woman headed back to the room to get changed when she saw Benjamin
sitting on the sofa waiting for her, all dressed up.
The well-dressed man looked exceptionally elegant and exuded a charming aura.
“I’m gonna get changed.” Arissa walked out of the room after taking a glance at him.
Benjamin looked up at the woman and could not help but notice her slender figure.
An unfathomable glint flashed past the man’s eyes before he fixed his gaze on her.
The moment Arissa walked out, the five little ones rushed over.
“Mommy, you’re awake?”
Not only had the children washed up, but they had also gotten changed all by themselves. They look
extremely adorable and dressed in the same school uniforms.
“Yup!”
Arissa smiled and hugged the kids before saying, “Mommy is going to get changed now. Wait here for
a while!”
The five little ones blinked and nodded obediently.
Arissa bent forward and kissed the children on their cheeks before heading to the guest room to get
changed.
The children followed behind her in a single file.
When Arissa turned back, she looked at them, feeling amused.
“Wait outside!”
The woman took a set of clothes and went into the bathroom to get changed while the five little ones
waited patiently outside.
Just then, Benjamin walked out and saw the children leaning against the door frame, looking inside the
room.
He walked over and took a look as well but did not see anyone.
“What are you guys looking at?”
When the five little ones turned around, they met Benjamin’s gaze and moved toward one side.
“Get your school bags. Daddy will send you guys to school after breakfast,” Benjamin said to the kids.
When the kids heard that, they blinked and exchanged glances. Finally, Gavin said softly, “We want to
wait for Mommy!”
Benjamin looked at the little ones and said to Gavin, “Hurry up and get going. Mommy won’t be ready
so soon.”
Feeling annoyed, Gavin glared at his father before running toward his own bedroom.
Zachary, Oliver, Jasper and Jesse trailed behind their eldest brother.
“Gavin, wait for us!”
Jesse was the slowest among the five of them.
Looking at his children, the corners of Benjamin’s lips curled up into a gentle smile.
When Arissa walked out after getting changed, she saw Benjamin standing at the door with a
benevolent expression on his face.
Smiling, she asked, “Were the kids here just now?”
“Yup!”
Benjamin turned around and saw that the woman was smartly dressed.
“I told you that you don’t have to go to work today.”
“I know,” Arissa replied, looking at the man.
“Then, why are you dressed like that?”
Benjamin took another glance at the woman’s outfit before asking, “Are you going out later?”
A glint flashed past Arissa’s eyes as she replied, “Nope. I’m just getting dressed for breakfast.”
Benjamin stared intently at her for a while before she walked past him and went out of the room.
