Chapter 264 Beware
“I would’ve had my men break their legs if they weren’t my friends,” replied Benjamin while having a vicious expression on.
Arissa’s lips twitched a little. Speechless, she turned around and returned to the restroom to wash the clothes.
She squeezed the clothes dry, grabbed the hangars, and took everything to the balcony to hang the clothes.
Benjamin’s gaze followed her figure and traced her pink dress, the way her tied hair danced with the wind, and the exposed neckline. She was stunning. It was virtually impossible to look away at that moment.
Benjamin’s gaze turned slightly dim as he frowned. Kingsley saw her beauty earlier…
Displeasure instantly rose within Benjamin.
Just then, Arissa’s phone rang.
She recognized the ringtone, so she hurried over, but her hands were still wet.
“Answer the call for me, please.”
Benjamin frowned and ignored her.
That annoyed Arissa a little, but she made do by swiping the phone with the joints on her fingers. After that, she turned on the speaker.
“Mommy!”
“Mommy!”
Her precious’ voices filled her heart with warmth and happiness.
“Hey, Sweethearts. Why aren’t you sleeping? It’s past eleven.”
Zachary replied, “We were going to go to bed after showering at around ten o’clock, but we ended up playing with Grandpa until just now.”
Arissa found that amusing and asked, “Is your grandpa asleep now?”
Gavin answered, “Yeah, Mommy. We only call after Grandpa went back to his room.”
Arissa smiled and instructed, “Then you should go to bed, too. Don’t stay up too late.”
Oliver ignored that and asked, “Mommy, are you still working?”
Jasper then warned, “If so, you must remember not to drink any alcohol, okay? There are bad people out there.”
Jesse chimed in and asked, “Mommy, Mommy! When will you come to pick us up?”
The kids were competing against one another to talk to Arissa, and that got her to smile.
She replied in the sweetest tone. “The party is over, and I can go get some rest soon. I only drank a little, so you guys don’t need to worry. Jesse, I will be busy for the next couple of days, so play with your siblings and be good at your grandpa’s place, okay? I will go pick everyone up once I’m done with my work here.”
Benjamin stared at Arissa. Huh, she’s really sweet when she’s talking to the kids.
“We’ll be there to pick you guys up tomorrow night,” added Benjamin.
Arissa turned to him. How can he be sure that he will be discharged tomorrow?
Benjamin looked over at her before he turned his attention back to his document.
All five naughty kids instantly became quiet. It took a moment before one of them said, “Mommy, you should go home soon. Be careful and don’t stay out too late. It’s not safe for you.”
The kids were obviously hinting at something.
Benjamin’s lips twitched upon hearing that.
Arissa snuck a peek over before cooing, “Okay, kids. Go to sleep now. Good night, Sweetheart.”
“Good night, Mommy.”
Arissa blew some kisses into the phone to send her love to her children before she hung up.
Benjamin looked over and wondered if she had always behaved that way when she spoke to her kids.
Arissa turned around and went to hang out the rest of the clothes before she closed the door to the balcony. After that, she pulled the curtain shut.
Then she went into the restroom to put the empty basket back inside.
When she got out, she stared at the overwhelming amount of leftover lobsters and their shells. It seemed like she was thinking about how she’d clean everything up.
“Get the bodyguards to come in and clean it up,” instructed Benjamin.
Arissa turned to see how Benjamin was doing before she went to get the bodyguards over.
Only two men were stationed outside because the rest of them had gone to take Kingsley and Shaun to the mountain range.
At that moment, those two men were still being forced to climb the mountain.
Kingsley gripped Shaun’s hand tightly and was practically stuck to the latter.
“Holy moly, it’s so dark and creepy out here!”
Shaun was so irritated that he was speechless for a moment there. “How I wish the ladies can see you in your current state. I wonder if they will still fancy you after this.”
“Awh, are you jealous?” teased Kingsley, whose grip on Shaun’s hand was actually getting tighter.
“Jealous? Of what? Your STD?” said Shaun to fire back.
