Chapter 356 Crying While Having A Nightmare

Noticing that it was working, Arissa continued, “I’m serious, Benjamin. I’ll stay here with you instead of keeping the kids’ company.”

She was unsure if he was mad about that, but she gave it a shot anyway.

“I don’t need you to keep me company!” Benjamin gave a snort, but his tone had eased up significantly.

Arissa found his prideful yet childish behavior rather amusing. At the same time, her heart softened.

“Well, I want to keep you company! Is that okay with you?” she asked with an endearing grin on her face.

Benjamin’s eyes flickered once again. “Whatever, do as you wish!”

Arissa let out a chuckle but quickly held it back when she recalled her main priority.

“Now, take your medicine!” she said while holding a few pills up to his mouth.

The man cleared his throat to hide his awkwardness before taking the pills and stuffing them into his mouth.

Arissa then grabbed a glass of water and fed it to him.

After swallowing those pills, he lay down to get some sleep.

Arissa felt her heart flutter a little as she stared at his back.

She then pulled the covers over his shoulder before going to sleep on the couch nearby.

Benjamin pricked up his ears to listen for signs of her leaving the room. When he did not hear the sound of the door opening, he opened his eyes slightly to take a peek.

At the sight of her sleeping on the couch, a smile formed on his face.

Because it was very late at night, Arissa fell asleep shortly after lying down.

Benjamin got up and made his way toward her when he heard her slow, even breathing.

Well, I suppose she’s not so dense, after all!

He made that remark in his mind as he stood beside the couch and stared at her countenance while she slept.

After watching her for a while, he saw Arissa nearly fall off the couch when she turned in her sleep.

Benjamin panicked and quickly tried to catch her, but that did not happen at all.

Instead, Arissa simply turned toward the other side and carried on sleeping.

At that sight, he breathed a sigh of relief and stood up. That was when his gaze fell upon her plump bottom.

He swallowed nervously to soothe his dry throat as he stared at Arissa, who was still fast asleep.
