Chapter 212 Back To Dellmoor
Zachary, Oliver, Jasper, and Jesse finished packing their belongings and came into Arissa’s room.
“Mommy, we’re done. How about you?”
“Not yet.” She flashed the children a warm smile.
At the side, Benjamin stared at her face and pursed his lips, feeling displeased at her gentle demeanor toward the children.
When they realized he was also in the room, they swiftly ran to their mother.
Arissa noticed Jesse was a little afraid of Benjamin, so she caressed her daughter’s head and suggested, “Help Mommy pack up?”
“Okay!” Jesse agreed immediately.
A peculiar feeling arose within Benjamin and warmed him as he watched their five children gather around her.
“Why did you come here?” he suddenly asked.
After a while, Arissa realized his question was meant for her.
“The scenery here is great.”
Once they opened the windows, vast greenery greeted them. It felt as though they were living in a paradise, isolated from the world.
Benjamin agreed with her. He stood up and walked to the balcony.
The setting sun shrouded their surroundings in a brilliant shade of orange. The view was so breathtaking that he forgot to blink.
Indeed, the village was a beautiful place.
Arissa shot him a glance and continued to pack.
“Mommy, we didn’t bring a lot when we arrived, but why is there no end to the packing?” asked Jasper when he saw her stuffed suitcase.
Arissa felt strange as well. “I don’t know.”
Just then, the sound of swatting mosquitoes came from the balcony. She looked up and saw Benjamin come in with a sullen face.
“You have two minutes!”
Upon hearing that, she pursed her lips slightly. Geez. He’s so inconsiderate. If he thought we were slow, he could’ve offered to help with the packing.
“If you’re dissatisfied, you can leave first,” stated Gavin.
Benjamin looked at his son, who was going against him. “Gavin, are you trying to get under my skin?”
Arissa glanced at them and stuffed everything into the suitcase quickly.
