Chapter 226 Sending Them To School

“Not bad!” Arissa replied with a calm expression.

“Mm.”

Benjamin nodded and said nothing else.

Things went smoothly during breakfast. Before long, they had finished eating, and it was time for the two of them to send their kids to school.

Zachary tried his luck to delay going to school. “Mommy, it’s already Friday today. Can’t we go next week?”

School is so boring. Zachary was praying that he could escape school.

When Arissa stared at him in his eyes, he put on his best grin and said, “Mommy, can we not go to school today?”

“Absolutely not! You’ve been slacking off for the past few days!” she said sternly and looked at all five of them.

“Only two days!” Oliver laughed.

“Yeah! Mommy, we didn’t go to school when we went to the village the other day! Can we rest for one more day?” Jasper tried to persuade Arissa as well.

“No. That was a special case. Make sure you apologize properly to the teachers when you’re in school later, okay? Everyone was worried about you when all of you sneaked out. It’s only a few hours of school today, and you can rest during the weekends!” she said as she poked Jesse’s forehead.

Seeing that their protests didn’t work, they obeyed and went to school.

As soon as their ride pulled up at the entrance, Arissa helped the kids into the car.

“I’ll do it.”

Benjamin carried them one by one into the car. However, Gavin didn’t want to be carried, so he got into the car by himself before Benjamin reached him.

Benjamin looked Gavin for a second and said, “Put your seatbelts on.”

He closed the door after buckling Jasper up since the latter was sitting closest to the door.

“Hurry up and get in!” Benjamin said to Arissa as he opened the door of the passenger seat.

She looked at him for a brief moment and got in.

When Benjamin leaned in to help her put on her seatbelt, Arissa held her breath and moved back.

Benjamin’s eyes sparkled with an exquisite gleam as he looked at her.
