Chapter 1049 That Was Quick

Benjamin's eyes twinkled. He addressed the children in a gentler voice.

“Your mother is pregnant, and she's a little frail. Watch your volume when you're around

her, all right?”

The children bobbed their heads. “Got it!”

Benjamin caressed their heads in turn, and they arrived at an unspoken and reconciliatory

agreement.

As he led them up the stairs, the children exchanged glances before turning as one to face

Gavin, who gazed up at Benjamin. “Why don't you keep Mommy company, Daddy? We'll

go home ourselves.”

Benjamin returned Gavin's gaze. “I'm bringing you home as I still have to pack.”

“Oh,” the boy answered.

Benjamin led them into the elevator. “Come on. We should be getting home.”

The children trotted after him. The chauffeur was already waiting at the entrance when

they arrived.

Benjamin ushered them into the car before urging the driver to hurry home.

Meanwhile, Arissa picked up her phone to give Bradley a call. The cacophony of noise on

the other end sounded as if he was driving.

“Hey, Boss!”

Arissa smiled. “Gavin said you're coming back. Where are you?”

“I just passed the toll and would be in the city in ten minutes,” came Bradley's voice,

accompanied by the sound of a horn blaring.

“Rest well when you get back. I won't keep you any longer. Drive safe!”

Arissa did not say much else to Bradley so he could focus on driving.

“All right, then. I'll drop by soon. I brought gifts for Gavin and the rest.”

Arissa chuckled. “No problem. They're home, so just head on over there. Have Edwin make

you something if you're hungry.”

“Aren't you at home, Boss?” Bradley asked curiously upon noticing the clue in her words.

“That's right. I'm not. The children are, though. You can go on over. Spend the night and

hang out with them.”

Arissa thought it was a good idea for Bradley to spend time with the children.

“Where did you go, Boss? Aren't you going to be home tonight?” Bradley asked glumly.

“I won't be. Drive safe, and talk soon!”

Arissa hurriedly hung up without telling him that she was in the hospital.

Soon, Benjamin arrived home with the children. After asking Edwin to keep an eye on

them, he headed to the bedroom to gather some clean clothes and toiletries before

heading back to the hospital.

Lying in bed, Arissa was scrolling listlessly through her phone when she widened her eyes

with surprise at the sight of the man entering.

“That was quick!” Having expected him later that night, Arissa was shocked.

She stared at Benjamin, who returned her gaze with a smile.

“You don't want to see me?”

Arissa tossed her phone aside. “That's not true. It only took you half an hour to get there

and back!”

“I came back after packing some things. It didn't take long.” Benjamin turned to put the

clothes away.

Arissa pouted. He must have sped.

Suddenly, her phone rang.

She grabbed it and, upon finding out it was the children calling, quickly picked up.

“We've taken our showers, Mommy!”

Six little heads huddled before the phone camera held at length by a selfie stick. They

were gazing at her with grins on their faces.

All of them were sitting cross-legged on the bed, washed and cleaned.

“That was fast. By the way, has Mr. Hinton arrived, children? He said he would drop by to

see you,” Arissa said.

“Not yet. We're planning to call him after calling you,” Zachary replied.

As soon as he spoke, Jasper tugged on Zachary's sleeve.

“I heard the sound of a car, Zachary. Could it be Mr. Hinton?”

In an instant, Gavin, Oliver, and Jesse slid off the bed and hurried to the balcony.

Then, a raucous cry sounded.

“That looks like Mr. Hinton's car, Mommy!”
