The More the Merrier

Chapter 1055 More Than Capable

Arissa glanced at Benjamin through the mirror and smiled when she saw his bewildered expression.

Benjamin raised an eyebrow when he noticed the hint of a smile at the corner of her eye. He pinched her cheek and asked, "What's so funny?" Arissa smiled sheepishly. "Gavin told you to be gentle!"

Benjamin leaned in close to her ear and whispered, "Then do you prefer me to be gentler or tougher?"

His warm breath tickled her ear.

Arissa sensed the undertones in his words, and her earlobes burned hot with embarrassment.

"Whichever it is, aren't they both just a manifestation of your own will?" she retorted.

Benjamin's lips curled up slightly. Seeing the children all huddled at the door looking at them, he let go of Arissa and walked toward the door.

"What are you all doing here? Go and have your breakfast!"

The adorable children blinked and replied softly, "We're waiting for Mommy to eat together!"

Arissa smiled happily and turned to remind them. "You guys go ahead and eat. I'll be out soon!"

The children smiled and urged her to hurry up.

Arissa nodded. "Go on. I won't be long." She then turned to Benjamin. "Go and have breakfast with them." Benjamin stayed by her side and handed her a towel after she finished brushing her teeth.

"I still need to carry you out."

Arissa didn't push him away. She washed her face, then relieved herself.

Having done it a few times, she was already used to it and wasn't embarrassed anymore.

"I'm done. Let's go!" she said to Benjamin.

Benjamin came over and picked her up. Arissa wrapped her arms around his neck and leaned against him.

Benjamin's eyes softened as he carried her out.

"Go to the couch over there," Arissa said.

"You must lie down." Benjamin ignored her request, carried her to the bed, and let her lie down slightly. However, her torso was still on the bed, and she didn't exert any pressure on her stomach. Arissa trained her eyes on Benjamin the whole time as the man pulled the blanket over her.

"Boss, you should listen to Mr. Graham and lie down more. Whatever you want to eat, we'll feed you!" Bradley said, coming over to Arissa.

Benjamin glanced at him and said, "You go eat with them."

Benjamin was referring to the children. He smoothened the blanket for Arissa and tucked her in to prevent her from catching a cold.

The children brought their breakfast over. "Mommy, we'll feed you!"

Benjamin took the food over, looking imposing. "I'll feed your mommy. You kids move along."

The six children exchanged glances with each other before they lay on the side to watch their parents.

"Mr. Graham, do you know how to feed her?" Zachary asked doubtfully.

Benjamin's mouth twitched. He took a bowl of oatmeal porridge, spooned some, blew on it, and brought the spoon to Arissa's lips.

"Be careful. It's hot," he reminded gently.

Arissa smiled and slurped the oatmeal porridge.

The children widened their eyes at them, their eyes darting back and forth between Arissa and Benjamin.

Daddy seems to be more than capable of taking good care of Mommy.

Bradley was happy for Arissa as well.

"Let's go have breakfast over there!" he said to the little ones.

"Yay, we can finally have breakfast."

"I'm starving!"

"Thank goodness Mommy woke up, or we would have had to wait a long time!"

The children ran over, pulling Bradley to sit down and have breakfast.

Arissa smiled and looked over at her children. Her smile widened as they began eating.

It was not until she felt something touching her lips that she looked away and met Benjamin's deep gaze. He raised his chin to signal her to have breakfast.
