Chapter 1025
Benjamin hummed his acknowledgment, which sent Gavin over the moon.
“Daddy has agreed to let us stay!” he exclaimed, eyes twinkling as he looked at his siblings.
A mischievous little smile instantly crept across Zachary's face. “Heh. Even if Mr. Graham doesn't consent to it, we'll
still stay here.
Oliver and Jasper, too, giggled.
Jesse sneaked a glance at her grim-faced father and stuck her tongue out.
“Mr. Graham, we'll be on our best behavior! We won't disturb Grandpa or Great-grandaunt!” Tim reassured.
Benjamin glanced at his son and nodded. “Okay.”
With that settled, Arissa cracked a smile and turned to Edwin. “Sorry, Edwin. I'll have to trouble you to look after the
kids.”
“Don't worry, Mrs. Graham. I'll keep an eye on them,” Edwin readily replied.
This is no chore at all. Being with the kids is so much fun!
Arissa nodded.

our own hospital. They'll be well taken care of!”
Upon hearing that, Arissa burst out laughing. “I'm worried about them bothering you guys and disrupting your
work!”
It's all right if the kids stayed in the ward with their elders, but who knows how much chaos they'd create if they
hung out with Shaun and the staff?
“Not at all! In fact, I wish they could accompany us every day! You have no idea how much our nurses dote on
them. They're always fighting with one another to cuddle them,” Shaun said amid loud guffaws.
Knowing how well-loved the six children were, Arissa glowed with pride and joy.
“Let's go!” Benjamin uttered as he took Arissa's hand. “Dad, Grandaunt, we'll be heading home first!”
Darius and Mary were all smiles as they nodded.
“Run along and do whatever you like. You don't have to stay in the hospital,” Darius added with a wave of his hand.
He was hinting to the couple to spend quality time together, and of course, Shaun caught the hint almost
immediately.
“That's right, Benjamin. You should go on a date with Arissa!”
Arissa felt her cheeks reddening as she peeked at Benjamin.
“Look after the kids. Call me if anything crops up. Bye,” the latter instructed Shaun before pulling Arissa toward the
door.
“Behave yourselves!” Arissa reminded the kids.
“We will, Mommy!”
The next second, the six children grinned and followed their parents to the door to watch them leave.
Arissa smiled and waved, motioning for them to return to the room.
Even as Benjamin led her into the elevator, Arissa still couldn't help but sneak a few glances at the little ones.
Benjamin curled his lips into a smile.
“Are you that reluctant to part with the kids?”
Arissa turned to meet the man's teasing gaze and pouted in denial. “No!”
Right there and then, Benjamin wrapped his arms around her and pulled her into a warm embrace. “Yes, you are!”
Arissa felt her heart flutter as she clung to Benjamin and breathed in his enticing scent.
“Hmph. I'm not like you,” she said coquettishly.
In response, Benjamin merely snickered.

Gosh. Must his voice be so seductive?
Meanwhile, Benjamin's eyes darkened as he gazed upon the woman's beauty and grace.
Alas, the elevator doors opened just as he was about to lean in for a kiss.
As it turned out, one of the hospital's doctors had been waiting for the elevator. “Hello, Mr. Graham!” greeted the
doctor.
Even though she had gone red in the face, Arissa quickly followed suit when she saw Benjamin nodding politely at
the doctor.
As the couple walked out of the elevator, the blush on Arissa's face grew more intense.
Just then, a low chuckle rang out above her head.
Arissa promptly looked up and glared at Benjamin. “What are you laughing at?”
“Oh, it's nothing!” Benjamin felt his heart melt into a puddle as he gazed at the woman.
“Hmph! You did laugh, though!” Arissa retorted.
Benjamin merely met her clear gaze and curled his thin lips into a sexy, devilish grin.
Arissa felt her heart skip a beat. D*mn it. What a bewitcher!
