Chapter 547 Benjamin Accompanies Arissa To The Tailor
Benjamin stared at her with a frown. “Where is it? I’ll get my men to pick them up.”
Stumped, Arissa pointed to a spot that was just ten meters away.
“There. I’ll go get it myself. You should just wait here.”
Not wanting to dwell on the matter further, she hurried over at once.
Tim’s clothes were ready to be picked up. After conducting a quick check, she paid for them and returned to Benjamin.
Throughout the entire episode, Benjamin’s gaze never left her at all.
When Arissa walked up to him and saw that his brows were still furrowed, she teased, “Mr. Graham, do you want me to keep a distance from you?”
As Benjamin’s expression darkened, he held her hand before walking back out.
Arissa giggled under her breath.
“If his clothes don’t fit, you should just buy new ones. What’s the point of altering them?”
Looking at the grouchy expression on Benjamin’s face, Arissa replied with a smile, “Tim likes these clothes. Hence, altering them will make them fit better.”
She had initially planned to keep the clothes till he was older. Nevertheless, she was worried that Tim would wear them on his own accord, together with his shoes.
Benjamin cocked a brow. “You have a pretty good eye when it comes to choosing children’s clothing.”
The children like them a lot.
Arissa grinned. “Well, kids always like clothes that make them look cool.”
Narrowing his gaze, Benjamin gave her the side-eye.
“In that case, why don’t you buy something cool for Jesse? Why does she have to wear pink prints?”
His sudden admonishment aggrieved Arissa.
Despite her urge to explain, she swallowed her words in the face of Benjamin’s intimidating look and decided not to tell him.
“My sweetheart can wear whatever she wants. If you don’t like it, you can always look away!”
“What a witty remark!” Benjamin snapped.
Zipping her mouth, Arissa followed Benjamin back to their car.
“You should get in. I want to walk back and buy some food along the way.”
Benjamin protested, “But it’s still some distance away!”
Arissa scanned the surroundings. “I’ll go buy something to eat.”
Nevertheless, Benjamin pulled her back into the car. “Whatever you feel like eating, I’ll get Ethen to buy them.”
After being forced into the car, Arissa explained, “It’s not me. I just want to buy some for the children.”
Benjamin scrutinized the shops outside. “They are not clean!”
Arissa was speechless.
Huh, I shouldn’t have told him.
Subsequently, their car drove back to the hospital without stopping for Arissa to buy any food. When they arrived, they returned to Mary’s ward.
Watching Arissa strut off, Benjamin frowned.
Is she angry because I didn’t allow her to buy food earlier?
He gestured for Ethen to come over.
“Go out and buy some local snacks.”
“Right away!”
Ethen hurried off to do as he was told.
When Arissa entered the ward, she beamed when saw the six children telling Mary stories while sitting around the latter’s bed.
“Mdm. Mary, it’s time to get some rest.”
“I’m fine. I was just listening to their stories. Issa, why were you out for so long?” Mary expressed her concern with a narrowed gaze.
“I was out shopping for some clothes. Come, Mdm. Mary, why don’t you try them on.”
After putting down the shopping bags, Arissa took out Mary’s clothes to measure against the latter’s body.
“You bought clothes for me? You shouldn’t have.”
Mary was surprised by the gesture.
“Don’t worry about it. Since you’ll be staying in the hospital for a while, it would be better to have more clothes that you change into,” Arissa reassured Mary.
“There’s no such concern as I’m wearing the hospital gown all the time.” Mary was deeply touched.
“It’s all right. You can wear them once you’re discharged.”
After Arissa measured the clothes against Mary’s body and was satisfied with the fit, she put them back in the bag.
“Mommy, you bought a lot of clothes!”
When Jesse peeked into the bag, her eyes lit up.
Arissa glanced at her. “These are for Tim. I didn’t get anything for you, and will do so next time.”
“Okay.”
Filled with delight, Jesse gestured to Tim. “Tim, come quickly. Mommy bought you a lot of clothes. Look, there’s even a pair of shoes!”
