Chapter 284 Wait For One More Day Benjamin glanced at her before lowering his head and continuing with his work.
Arissaâs lips curled into a smile. So he hasnât eaten the medicine yet.
Without delay, she went to take his medicine and poured a glass of water.
Then, she walked into Benjaminâs study. âHere. Eat this first before you continue your work.â
Benjamin furrowed his brows. âJust put it there. Iâll eat it later.â
Seeing that he was reluctant to eat the medicine, Arissa persuaded gently, âIf you donât eat the medicine now, you wonât recover fast. The kids will be worried seeing you like this.â
Benjamin lifted his head and stared at Arissa. She handed the medicine and the glass of water to him.
âWill the kids worry about me?â
Maybe Gavin will, but that brat is ignoring me even now.
âOf course! If the kids find out about this, Gavin will definitely be the one who worries about you the most!â
Even though they said they didnât like him, I bet theyâll be concerned if they find out that heâs sick.
âReally? I doubt so.â Benjamin scoffed. Regardless, he still took the medicine and ate it.
Arissa smiled and asked, âAre you picking them up tonight?â
Seeing her eagerness to see the kids, Benjamin pursed his lip slightly, âNo. Iâm fetching them back tomorrow.â
âWhy?â
Arissa could not wrap her head around it. Didnât he promise his father that he would pick up the kids tonight if possible? Why did he change his mind again? Since weâre already back, we can get them anytime.
âDad seldom has the chance to hang out with them. Let them stay there with him for a while more.â
Benjamin spoke his mind before returning to look through his work.
Arissa bit her lip and turned around to go out.
âYou should rest early,â she reminded before heading back upstairs.
She changed into her pajamas, getting ready to take a nap.
Just then, Gavinâs call came in.
Arissa immediately sat upright and answered the video call.
âSweetheart!â
Her heart melted the instant she saw her sonâs face.
âMommy, did you call me just now?â
Gavin rubbed his eyes lazily, seemingly just woken up.
âYes. Were you sleeping?â
Arissa flashed a gentle smile. At that moment, she felt like hugging Gavin so much.
âYes, Iâve just woken up. I was so happy when I saw that youâve called me!â
Gavinâs lips split into a wide grin.
Right then, Zachary came over as well and exclaimed, âMommy!â
âHello!â Arissa beamed from ear to ear.
Oliver and Jasper had woken up too. They immediately leaned forward when they saw their brothers having a video call with Arissa.
âMommy!â
âAre you all up?â
They all look so cute with their messy hair.
âYeah, only Jesse is still sleeping!â Jasper yawned.
âMommy, when are you coming to pick us up?â Oliver stared earnestly at Arissa.
âMaybe tomorrow?â
Arissa figured she should not go fetch the kids herself.
Benjamin had said that he would pick the kids up tomorrow.
âWhat? We still need to wait until tomorrow? Mommy, where are you now? What are you busy with? Are you on a business trip?â
Zachary was somehow unhappy. Even though it was fun at his grandfatherâs place, he missed his mother dearly.
Gavin glanced at Arissaâs background, and his eyes lit up. âMommy, are you at home?â
Arissa did not expect Gavin to notice that. âYes, I am.â
The four of them got overwhelmed with excitement at that.
âMommy, weâll go back to look for you then!â
Arissa blinked slightly. That works.
âBut arenât you guys going to accompany Grandpa anymore?â
âWe can accompany him any other time. Today is the weekend. We want to be with you, Mommy!â
Upon saying that, Gavin jumped right off the bed, getting ready to freshen up.
âMommy, wait for us! Weâll see you in a while!â
With that, Zachary headed toward the bathroom as well.
âMommy, weâll go wash our faces. Bye!â Oliver followed behind his brothers.
âMommy, please wake Jesse! Iâll go wash my face too!â
Jasper giggled as he placed the phone facing Jesse.
Arissa was amused to see Jesseâs face at such a close distance.
