Chapter 1053 Go To Sleep

"I encountered some pregnancy complications, so I'm staying in the hospital for a few days of observation," Arissa said to Bradley, knowing that the children would tell him sooner or later even if she didn't. "What?" Bradley widened his eyes in astonishment. The next second, he grew excited. "Boss, you're pregnant again?"

Arissa smiled and nodded. "Yes, I'm pregnant!"

"Didn't the doctor say it would be difficult for you to... Anyway, Boss, you're amazing, getting pregnant again. Is it a boy or a girl?”

Bradley was excited, even more so than Arissa, the mother-to-be.

Benjamin turned and glanced over.

Arissa chirped, "I'm also surprised. The fetus is still too small to tell its gender."

"Congratulations, Boss!" Bradley sincerely congratulated her.

"Thank you." Arissa nodded. "You should hurry up and have something to eat, then take a bath and get some rest!"

"Okay, Boss. Don't worry. I'll keep the children company and visit you tomorrow," Bradley assured Arissa, putting her at ease.

"It doesn't matter if you visit me or not. Just help us watch over the kids." Arissa was worried about the children being unaccustomed to being alone at home. Although the housekeeper would also be with them having an extra person was always better.

Noticing Benjamin was still working, she didn't want to chat further. After reminding the children to turn in earlier, she quickly hung up the phone.

Benjamin was still on the phone, talking to Ethen and receiving other work calls.

Taking in how busy he was, she sighed softly. He put his work on hold because he took me out to have fun today.

She wanted to pour him a glass of water but recalled being scolded by him earlier, so she refrained and obediently lay on the bed, not wanting to cause him more trouble.

After he was done talking on the phone, Arissa reminded him, "Benjamin, have some water."

Benjamin's eyes gleamed as he looked over.

Arissa smiled at him. "Drink more water. You've been talking on the phone for so long. Aren't you thirsty?"

Benjamin raised an eyebrow and nodded. Then, he walked over, poured a glass of water, and drank a few mouthfuls.

He approached her and asked, "Do you want some water too?"

Arissa took a few sips from his glass.

"I don't want to consume any more fluids, or else I'll have to go to the bathroom again soon."

"Call me if you need to go to the bathroom," he instructed her before turning around to continue working.

Arissa grinned. Unable to fall asleep yet, she decided to play with her phone.

When the doctor came to do the rounds, Benjamin immediately set aside his work and stood by her bed, fearing other issues might arise.

It was only when the doctor said everything was fine that he let out a sigh of relief.

"Please rest well, Mrs. Graham," the doctor advised before leaving.

"Thank you, doctor," Arissa said gratefully.

Benjamin tucked her in. "Do you need to go to the bathroom?"

Arissa smiled and shook her head. "Not right now."

Benjamin stroked her hair and uttered softly, "Go to sleep early."

Arissa had slept for several hours in the afternoon, so she was quite awake at the moment. "I'm not sleepy yet."

She noticed Benjamin staring into her clear eyes but couldn't fathom what he was thinking. He moved to the other side of the bed and lay down next to her.

After that, he stretched out an arm and pulled her into his embrace.

"Go to sleep." He leaned down to kiss her forehead before continuing to work by using his free hand to check emails on his phone.

Deeply touched, Arissa looked up at him. "You don't have to accompany me. I can sleep on my own."

He swept his gaze over her and pinched her cheek. "I'll check my emails for a while and then call it a day too."

Arissa nodded and didn't disturb him anymore.

She rolled over to hug his waist, got comfortable, and closed her eyes to prepare for sleep.

Benjamin gazed at her serene demeanor as she rested like a little kitten in his arms. Contentment surged within his chest.

He curled his lips into a faint smile. After some time, he looked away and continued reviewing some documents.
