CHAPTER 1093 THE MOST LACKADAISICAL
Benjamin glanced at the hospital bed, only to see Arissa and the children sitting together, making for an
incredibly heartwarming sight.
“Do as you said,” he ordered. “Is there anything else?”
“No,” Ethen replied with a smile since all the documents that had to be reviewed had been signed.
“Okay. Go and have dinner. If there's nothing urgent, don't come and bother me!” Benjamin waved a
hand, dismissing him.
The corners of Ethen's mouth twitched. Hah! It's more like he doesn't want me to come and bother Mrs.
Graham, no?
Naturally, he did not dare give voice to that retort. He murmured in acknowledgment before inviting
Bradley to have dinner together.
Swinging their heads around, Gavin and Zachary took a look at them. Subsequently, they turned back
and continued drawing.
Benjamin walked over and swept his gaze over the six children's drawings. Jesse was exceedingly
serious, her drawing taking shape and growing increasingly captivating at a far faster speed than her
brothers'.
He patted her on the head. “You're doing a good job, Jesse!”
The other children swung their gazes at him. Doing the same, Arissa remarked with a grin, “She's good
at drawing in the first place.”
As for other aspects, it's a different story altogether.
Hearing her mother's compliment, Jesse beamed so widely that her eyes became mere slits. “Have a
look at my drawing when I'm done later, Mommy!”
“Sure!” Arissa agreed with a nod.
Smiling, Jesse lowered her head and continued drawing.
“It's difficult to draw here. Go over to the coffee table,” Benjamin instructed.
Unfortunately, the children refused to do so. “We want to keep Mommy company here!”
A frown marred Benjamin's countenance, but he could not do anything when they remained unmoved.
“Let them draw here. It's not some difficult homework anyway,” Arissa coaxed, turning her eyes to the
man.
“If you say so.” Benjamin sat down beside her, his gaze falling on Tim's sketchbook.
That reply rendered Arissa speechless. What does he mean by that? This is obviously the kids'
decision.
“This is the proper way to hold the pen, Tim,” Benjamin corrected Tim.
“Like this?” Tim carefully imitated the man's grip on the pen, the look in his eyes as innocent as ever.
“Yeah.” Benjamin dipped his head in affirmation. He's pretty smart, merely lacking in education.
Watching as the picture on the sketchbook gradually took shape, Arissa shifted her gaze to Tim and
stroked his head in anguish.
Tim jerked his head over and glanced at her, then turned back and continued drawing in slight
embarrassment.
The picture on the sketchbook was that of their family. There was his father, mother, brothers, sister,
grandfather, great-grandaunt, and him.
Although the figures did not bear much resemblance to them, the abstract picture was extremely vivid,
making it evident that it was a family portrait at a single glance.
“You're doing pretty good, Sweetheart!” Arissa encouraged Tim.
Their curiosity piqued, Oliver and Jasper stole a peek at the drawing. Immediately, their lips twitched.
His drawing is like our doodles when we were two years old, yet Mommy praised him?
Nonetheless, they could not bring themselves to speak the truth in the face of Tim's earnestness.
“Why aren't you complimenting us, Mommy?” Jasper eyed Arissa. He was slightly jealous.
Arissa pinned her eyes on them. “The two of you are the most lackadaisical!”
Words eluded both Oliver and Jasper.
Pouting, they lowered their heads and continued drawing. “Zachary isn't all that focused either!”
Zachary looked at his brothers and crowed, “I'm better at drawing than you two!”
Taking in the defeated look on Oliver's and Jasper's faces, Arissa was torn between amusement and
exasperation. “You're all doing good! Hurry up and draw. Are you all not ashamed to argue here when
Tim is doing even better despite having a late start?”
The few boys stuck their tongues out before they swiftly put on a burst of speed.
Benjamin scrutinized the rest of the children's drawings. Gavin was taciturn, but he worked hard to
complete his drawing. Meanwhile, Zachary was fast and finished drawing in no time.
Oliver and Jasper were the only ones who were lackadaisical in drawing, getting distracted and started
talking before long.
To his surprise, Jesse's drawing improved as she worked on it. Her drawing was richer and more
colorful than her brothers'.
Hmm, I've got to nurture her since she's talented in drawing.
“You like drawing, Jesse?”
