Chapter 834 Good News âJust some of them,â replied Benjamin, looking at the woman. Ethen had passed down Benjaminâs orders to a few schools in Dellmoor, but not all.
However, it was for sure that none of the better schools in the city would accept the kid.
Arissa nodded when she heard the manâs reply. If that was the case, it did not concern them whether or not the rest of the schools wanted to accept that womanâs kid.
There was no need for her to feel guilty. âIs that woman going to be arrested?â she asked. Without replying, Benjamin fixed his gaze on Arissa before turning the womanâs head around to face him. The next moment, he pressed his lips against hers.
Arissa could almost feel her head spinning from the manâs passionate kiss and stopped fretting about other matters. When they arrived at the hospital, Benjamin planted another kiss on the corner of Arissaâs lips.
Looking at the woman who was blushing, his gaze darkened as he felt waves of desire rise within him. He wouldnât have stopped if they did not have something to attend to.
âAre you able to get out of the car?â Benjamin asked teasingly while pinching the womanâs cheek lovingly. Arissa was panting and her face was flushed red.
âOf course!â she replied after casting a self-conscious glance at the man. Benjamin brushed his finger against her nose and got out of the car. âCome on!â
Arissa cleared her throat before stepping out of the car. Standing next to the car door, Benjamin put his hand on the headliner to prevent the woman from bumping her head against it.
Then, the couple headed into the hospital together. âI wonder how Grandaunt is feeling today!â
Arissa had only spoken to Mary on the phone the previous day but did not visit her at the hospital. âShe should be fine. If thereâs anything wrong, Shaun would have called me,â Benjamin replied, reassuring the woman.
Arissa nodded. When both of them reached the ward, there was still about an hour left to Maryâs surgery. Mary had just finished her breakfast with the help of a nurse.
When the old lady saw the couple, she greeted them with a smile on her face. âWhy are you guys here? Donât you have to work?â
âGrandaunt, knowing that youâre having your surgery today, how can we work in peace? Since heâs the boss, it wouldnât matter what time we go to the office. Donât worry about us.â
Arissa sat by Maryâs bedside and held the old ladyâs hand while expressing her concern for her. âItâs just a minor surgery. You guys didnât have to come!â Feeling extremely touched, Mary replied, âDo Tim and the other kids know about my surgery?â
âNope, we didnât tell them about it. You should have some rest now. Weâll be here with you!â Arissa said as she tucked the blanket under Maryâs arm.
After greeting Mary, Benjamin left the ward to look for Shaun to ask him about Maryâs condition. âGrandaunt, I have good news to tell you!â
Arissa was smiling so vibrantly that one could easily tell that something good had happened to her. âWhatâs the good news? I can tell that youâre in a very good mood today! Quick, tell me about it!â
Mary was smiling from ear to ear as she urged Arissa to share the news. âGrandaunt, Benjamin and I got married!â Arissa said softly. âWhat?â Mary froze for a moment when she heard that.
âWe made the decision last night and registered our marriage this morning!â Arissa told Mary cheerfully. âReally?â
Mary was rather shocked to hear that. âBut itâs only seven oâclock in the morning. How did you manage to register your marriage? The city hall only opens after eight, right?â
âOh, someone came to our house in the morning to officiate our marriage. We just had to take a picture and fill in a form. The entire process took less than twenty minutes!â
Arissa had a blissful expression as she spoke. Mary felt a sense of relief after noticing the look on the womanâs face. She did not expect the two youngsters to get married so soon. âDo the kids know that the two of you are married already?â
Arissa nodded as she replied, âYup, they do.â
âTim must have been thrilled!â Mary said, beaming.
âYup! The kids were all really excited to know about it. They were pretty shocked when we told them,â Arissa replied merrily.
Mary looked at the younger woman and said smilingly, âIâm really surprised too! I didnât expect both of you to get married so soon!â
Feeling slightly awkward, Arissa replied, âIt was a sudden decision. I didnât expect Benjamin to be serious about marrying me.â
Mary patted the back of Arissaâs hand and said gently, âDo you really not know about Benjaminâs feelings toward you?â
