Chapter 377 His Blood Pressure Spikes
“Exactly! Mommy, why did you fall sick again? We got a shock!”
Zachary looked so worried, and he studied her expression. She did not seem well.
“Mommy, do you feel better now?”
Oliver quickly pulled away from Arissa to give her some space.
“Mommy, do you have a fever?” Jasper also chimed in.
At the same time, Jesse touched Arissa’s forehead and stated, “Mommy’s forehead is still cold!”
Looking at how concerned her children were, Arissa felt loved.
Hugging them tightly, she planted a kiss on each of their faces.
“Don’t worry. I’m all right!”
Then, Arissa helped them take off their backpacks. “Come. Take your backpacks off.”
“Mommy, I can do it myself!”
The five of them turned away from her and took their bags off. They even placed them neatly in a corner.
Arissa could not help but smile at them. No matter how she looked at them, they were all like precious jewels to her.
“Were all of you well-behaved at school today?”
The children nodded.
Then, Jesse murmured, “Mommy, we also made a new friend at school today.”
“Is that so? That’s great!”
Listening to her children sharing about their day, Arissa glanced at them with affection.
As they spoke, Jesse’s eyes flickered to the food on the study table, and they lit up. She gulped.
However, when he met Benjamin’s eyes, he looked away in fear.
In that instant, Benjamin felt like his cold heart had softened.
Arissa also noticed Jesse licking his lips. “Haha, come and eat!”
The five children beamed and gathered around the table to eat.
Before that, Arissa passed them some tissues to clean their hands.
She also poured them a cup of tea each.
Following that, the children stuffed their mouths with food. They were starving since they had finished their classes and had not eaten.
While they ate, they stared at Benjamin.
“Hello, Mr. Graham!”
Zachary was first to greet him. Then, Oliver, Jasper, and Jesse followed.
However, Gavin was still angry with Benjamin, and he stubbornly remained quiet. He glanced at his father for a while before turning his attention to the food.
Benjamin acknowledged the other four children’s greeting.
Looking at Gavin, he stated, “Gavin, you are the oldest. How could you be so disrespectful to me?”
Reluctantly, Gavin pouted and grumbled, “Hello, Mr. Graham.”
Benjamin felt his blood pressure rising.
What a rascal!
Noticing Benjamin’s annoyed expression, Arissa patted Gavin’s head and cooed, “Sweetheart, Daddy asked the kitchen to prepare all of these snacks for all of you. See, they are all your favorite food!”
Coincidentally, the snacks were the children’s favorite, so Arissa could use them to coax her children.
Gavin’s eyes lit up for a second though he still looked upset.
“These are only for my younger brothers!” Gavin retorted.
“There’s a portion for you too. Right?”
Arissa laughed. “They are made based on your liking.”
Her words had successfully cheered Gavin up.
Meanwhile, Benjamin’s eyes flickered with glee. He did not expect Arissa to put in a good word for him.
Later, Gavin looked at Benjamin and politely thanked him for the food.
“Thank you,” he muttered.
Arissa quietly looked at Benjamin.
This father and son pair looks and act alike. I can see that Benjamin brought him up. They are both cold and proud.
Afraid that the children would distract Benjamin from his work, she thought of taking them out.
Yet, Benjamin stopped her. “Where are you going?”
“I’m going to take them out.”
Arissa looked at him innocently.
Pointing at the snacks on the table, Benjamin stated, “They can finish the food here first.”
“Won’t they disrupt your work?”
Benjamin stared at her and growled, “Well, they can finish their food quickly so you can talk to me.”
Arissa did not know how to respond.
On the other hand, the children stared at their parents with questions running through their minds. What does Mommy want to tell Daddy?
“You are so fierce!” Zachary snorted.
It took Benjamin by surprise.
