Chapter 493 Are You Not Following Me âItâs time you go back, Ms. York. Iâll wash Grandmaâs clothes.â
Tim went to the bathroom door, wanting to take over the chore of washing Maryâs clothes.
âIâm not leaving. Iâll be staying to keep you both company tonight. Also, Iâll wash Mdm. Maryâs clothes. You go out and keep her company instead,â
Arissa replied smilingly.
Tim bit his bottom lip, not quite sure what to say upon seeing that she was still washing the clothes.
Arissa turned her head slightly and looked at him. âWhat do you want to say to me?â
As his eyes met her earnest gaze, Tim shook his head.
âSweetheart, hurry up and go to bed. Kids have to sleep early to grow tall and strong. Iâll also rest when Iâm done with all this,â Arissa urged gently so that he didnât have to waste his time here with her.
âCome here, Tim! Iâve got something to say to you!â
Hearing Maryâs holler from the bathroom, Arissa leaned out and interjected, âWhy donât you put that on the back burner first, Mdm. Mary? Itâs late now.â
She was worried that it would affect Timâs sleep, so she felt that it was better for them to talk another day.
Mary glanced at her. On second thought, she also felt that it would be better to talk sometime later.
At that precise moment, Benjamin came in with the children.
âItâs late, so go back and rest. Mary needs to rest, too!â he said to Arissa.
With her eyes pinned on him, Arissa stated, âIâm staying here tonight.â
All at once, a frown marred Benjaminâs countenance. He gestured for her to step out.
Seeing that he had gone out, Arissa reckoned that he might want to say something to her, so she washed the foam off her hands before stepping out as well.
âWhat do you want to say to me?â
âTake the children back to rest. Iâll stay here tonight, so donât worry.â
Benjamin stared at her fixedly.
Meanwhile, Arissa looked the man up and down. âYou havenât rested for a day and a night, no?â
Benjamin was busy searching for their child last night before rushing back to Dellmoor during the day, so he hadnât had any rest.
At her remark, Benjamin arched an eyebrow and stepped closer to her, the gap between them so negligible that she could smell the alluring smell of him.
Her heartbeat started racing.
âHow did you know that?â
Meeting the manâs ebony eyes, Arissa swallowed, her gaze shifty.
She stole a peek at Benjaminâs handsome countenance.
âHmm?â
Benjamin leaned over, his gaze scorching.
Arissaâs face flushed bright red. âDidnât you say that you were searching for our child last night? Then, it goes without saying that you didnât sleep!â
Benjamin continued staring at her intently, the corners of his mouth turning up slightly. Well, well... Sheâs still not admitting to it, huh?
âYou stayed up late as well last night. What were you doing?â
Snorting softly, Arissa fibbed, âI was also searching for our son!â
Benjamin sniggered, causing embarrassment to deluge Arissa.
âWere you not following me?â
Benjamin lifted her chin, his gaze dark as night.
At his question, Arissa choked. Oh God, he knows!
âI was following my sonâs leads, not you!â
Quirking an eyebrow, Benjamin pinched her face with his long and slender fingers.
âTake the children back to rest!â
Arissa cast a glance at him, and asserted, âI want to stay and keep Tim company!â
âThereâs no rush. Iâll talk to him. Are you not going to bother about Gavin and the rest anymore?â
Benjaminâs brows furrowed.
Conversely, Arissa was startled. After coming over, all her attention was on Tim, so she neglected her other five children.
âTheyâve got you to watch over them, havenât they? I-â
Benjaminâs attitude abruptly turned hard. âGo back and rest. Or do you want me to have the bodyguards escort you?â
Arissa was rendered speechless.
âYou didnât sleep either, but I slept the day away!â
âMy body can take it even if I donât sleep for a few days and nights. Can you do the same?â
Benjamin harrumphed.
At that, Arissa pursed her lips.
âGo back and have a good sleep. Donât have the kids worry about you.â
Benjaminâs voice had gentled slightly then.
Glancing at him, Arissa relented, âAll right, then. Iâll go back. However, Iâve got to wash Mdm. Maryâs clothes first.â
Benjaminâs brows creased deeply once more. âThe caregiver will be coming over in a while, so you donât need to do that anymore.â
âYou hired a caregiver?â
Arissa didnât expect him to be so thoughtful that he even thought of hiring a caregiver for Mary.
