The More the Merrier novel Chapter 369

Chapter 369 Why Does Benjamin Want To See Me

“Benjamin, you should get going too,” Arissa told Benjamin.

However, Benjamin did not listen to her. Instead, he sat down and stared at her.

“I told you not to speak. Why do you have so much to say? Quickly, get some sleep.”

Arissa pressed her lips together and obediently closed her eyes. Perhaps, it was due to the effect of the IV drip hooked to her arm, she fell asleep within minutes.

Benjamin stayed by her bedside and monitored the fluid in the IV drip.

“No! Give me my child back-”

Suddenly, Arissa started trashing in bed, screaming.

Benjamin hurriedly grabbed Arissa’s arms and comforted her, “They are all here and are okay.”

Then, Arissa started crying. Benjamin felt a heartache as he noticed how fragile she looked.

Holding her in his arms, he gently wiped her tears away and cooed, “It’s all right. You are okay. Don’t cry.”

Maybe his voice sounded comforting to her because she slowly calmed down and stopped crying.

Following that, she fell back asleep.

Benjamin continued to remain by her side while sorting out his mail.

Later, the children called Arissa.

Immediately, Benjamin picked up the ringing phone and whispered, “Gavin!”

There was no sound on the other end of the line as the caller probably had to check if he dialed the wrong number.

After a short while, Gavin finally replied, “Why are you answering the phone? Where is Mommy?”

He snorted. Daddy is home?

“Your mother is asleep,” Benjamin explained.

“Oh? She is still sleeping?” Gavin questioned.

Over the phone, Benjamin could also hear Zachary’s faint voice.

“I think he is lying to us and purposely stopping us from speaking with her.”

Benjamin’s face darkened instantly.

“She fell asleep because she was tired. Why are you calling?”

“Nothing.”

Gavin snapped, “Okay, I’m going to end the call. Goodbye.”

After Benjamin put down the phone, he did not know how to react.

He glanced at the clock and noticed it was already afternoon.

Ah, they probably called to check how Arissa was doing.

Seeing how Arissa was still asleep, Benjamin got up and left the room.
