Arissa followed them into the bathroom and helped Jesse to wash up.
“Hurry up and take your bath.”
The children were delighted to see that their mother was still with them.
“We will, Mommy,” Zachary promised.
Once they were done bathing, Arissa brought them to the master bedroom. “Sweethearts, all of you will
sleep with Daddy and me tonight!”
“Okay!”
The news delighted the children, and they followed her into the master bedroom.
Arissa was immediately relieved when she saw the children playing on the bed and looking rather
energetic.
“I'm going to take a bath now. Go to bed first if you're tired, all right?” she then said.
“We'll wait for you, Mommy!” Gavin responded while looking up.
The moment he spotted the wound on her forehead, he urged, “Don't get your forehead wet when you
bathe!”
“Mm-hmm!” Arissa nodded and took another glance at the children before grabbing a fresh set of
clothes into the bathroom.
“Mommy, maybe you should put on a shower cap! That way, you won't get your forehead wet,” Tim
suggested.
His thoughtfulness evoked a chuckle from her, and she replied, “It's okay. I'll make sure it doesn't get
wet. Carry on with your game. I'll bathe now.”
“Okay. Bathe quickly, Mommy. We'll wait for you before going to sleep,” Jesse piped up.
At that, Arissa inclined her head. Only after that did she head into the bathroom to take a bath.
Meanwhile, Benjamin, who had gotten off the phone, went to the study to peruse some documents
while waiting for Ethen to arrive.
Moments loter, Arisso wolked out of the bothroom ofter she wos done bothing.
“Sweetheorts, is your doddy still not here yet?” she osked when she could not spot Benjomin in the
moster bedroom.
Looking ot her over his shoulder, Josper replied, “Nope.”
Then, he returned to ploying with his siblings.
As Arisso dried the ends of her hoir with o towel, she informed, “I'll go downstoirs to prepore milk for oll
of you.”
Upon checking on the six children ploying on the bed, she turned oround to heod downstoirs.
Benjomin wos still nowhere to be seen ofter she hod token o look oround downstoirs. Right then, she
noticed the lights in the study were still on, so she wolked over.
Knock! Knock!
Knocking on the door, she colled out to Benjomin, “Do you wont to toke o both before you continue
working?”
Benjomin roised his heod ond looked over. When he noticed she hod token o both, he beckoned her to
enter the study.
As soon os Arisso wolked over, he hugged her ond mode her sit on his thighs.
At once, her cheeks flushed crimson.
Stroking the skin beside her wound, Benjomin osked, “Does it still hurt?”
Arisso shook her heod. “It doesn't hurt thot much when I don't touch it.”
“Put some medicotion on it loter, okoy?” Benjomin reminded her.
She gove him o word of offirmotion, then gozed ot him ond osked, “Any news from Ethen?”
“He'll be here in o while,” wos oll he soid.
After shooting him o few glonces, Arisso nodded. “All right. You corry on, then. I'll prepore some milk for
the kids.”
Moments later, Arissa walked out of the bathroom after she was done bathing.
“Sweethearts, is your daddy still not here yet?” she asked when she could not spot Benjamin in the
master bedroom.
Looking at her over his shoulder, Jasper replied, “Nope.”
Then, he returned to playing with his siblings.
As Arissa dried the ends of her hair with a towel, she informed, “I'll go downstairs to prepare milk for all
of you.”
Upon checking on the six children playing on the bed, she turned around to head downstairs.
Benjamin was still nowhere to be seen after she had taken a look around downstairs. Right then, she
noticed the lights in the study were still on, so she walked over.
Knock! Knock!
Knocking on the door, she called out to Benjamin, “Do you want to take a bath before you continue
working?”
Benjamin raised his head and looked over. When he noticed she had taken a bath, he beckoned her to
enter the study.
As soon as Arissa walked over, he hugged her and made her sit on his thighs.
At once, her cheeks flushed crimson.
Stroking the skin beside her wound, Benjamin asked, “Does it still hurt?”
Arissa shook her head. “It doesn't hurt that much when I don't touch it.”
“Put some medication on it later, okay?” Benjamin reminded her.
She gave him a word of affirmation, then gazed at him and asked, “Any news from Ethen?”
“He'll be here in a while,” was all he said.
After shooting him a few glances, Arissa nodded. “All right. You carry on, then. I'll prepare some milk for
the kids.”
While she rose to her feet, she recalled that the children were going to sleep in the master bedroom
that night. Hence, she informed him, “I'm letting them sleep in our room tonight.”
Benjamin nodded and replied, “Okay. All of you should go to bed first.”
Staring at the man who did not object, she exhorted again, “Don't work until it's too late, okay? You
should rest early.”
“I'll go up once I've talked to Ethen,” he explained.
Satisfied with his reply, Arissa flashed him a smile. She then left to prepare a few glasses of milk and
gave Benjamin one before heading upstairs.
At that time, the children had already tucked themselves in bed but were still awake. As soon as they
saw her entering, they called out sweetly, “Mommy, come and sleep!”
Answering them with a smile, Arissa walked over and sat by the bed. “Here. Sit up and drink your milk.”
The children immediately sat up and took a glass of milk each.
“Mommy, does your head still hurt?” Oliver eyed her head.
Arissa instinctively ran her finger over her forehead while responding, “Not really.”
She, too, drank a glass of milk as she waited for the children to finish theirs.
“Do you still feel scared?” asked Arissa, studying the children's faces.
They immediately shook their heads. Even Jesse said softly, “Mommy, I'm not scared anymore.”
Hearing that, Arissa stroked her head affectionately, “You're so brave, Sweetheart. Come on, finish the
milk. We are going to sleep now.”
