The More The Merrier Chapter 1076

Chapter 1076Chapter 1076 She Was Still Nervous
“I am not!” Arissa huffed and lowered her head.
The corners of Benjamin's lips tilted upward. He lifted her chin once more and gave her more kisses.
“Why do I feel that you're angry? Let me make it up to you. Will this do?”
He kissed her each time he finished a sentence.
Arissa was left speechless as she glanced up at him. He should have just said so if he wanted to kiss
me. Why did he have to sound so pompous?
“No!” She pushed him away before nuzzling against him.
Benjamin stared at her. The smile remained on his lips as he pinched her cheek dotingly.
Arissa moved away from his hand and mumbled, “Go to sleep already!”
“I thought you had trouble sleeping?” The man's husky and extremely seductive voice sounded beside
her ear.
“I'll be able to sleep if you just stop disturbing me.”
Benjamin quirked a brow and kissed her forehead. “Goodnight.”
Arissa smiled at his words. She stole a glance at him but found him staring at her. “Goodnight!”
Benjamin pulled the blankets, making sure she was covered properly before wrapping his arms around
her.
Arissa rubbed her face against his chest and closed her eyes to sleep.However, her phone rang before she fell asleep.
Benjamin took a look at the screen and instantly furrowed his brows when he saw it was Zachary
calling.
“Who is it?” Arissa glanced up at him. She couldn't see the screen since she was in his arms.
“Zachary,” Benjamin said, then answered the call.
Thinking that it was Arissa who answered the phone, the boy called out happily, “Mommy!”
“It's me,” Benjamin replied. “Why did you call so late at night?”
“Huh? It's you, Daddy. Where's Mommy?” Zachary was disappointed at the revelation.
“We were about to go to sleep.”
Arissa was right in Benjamin's arms, so naturally, she heard Zachary's voice through the phone.
“I'm going to sleep soon, Sweetheart. What's wrong?” she answered gently.
“Hehe, it's nothing. I just wanted to call and tell you that we're going to sleep too. Goodnight, Mommy!”
Zachary said happily.
“Goodnight, Sweetheart!” Arissa replied with a smile. The other children's goodnights also came
through from the other side of the phone.
“Goodnight, Mommy!”
“Okay. Sleep well, Sweethearts. Goodnight,” Arissa said affectionately.
“You too, Mommy. Daddy, too!” The six children did not forget to talk to their father.“Goodnight, Sweethearts!” Benjamin replied with a smile, looking ever so gentle.
He put the phone down, took Arissa in his arms, and went to sleep.
Arissa fell asleep sooner than he did. Listening to her slow and steady breaths, Benjamin kissed her on
her head and drifted off to sleep.
It was time for the trial the next day.
Benjamin woke up early in the morning. He went to the balcony and gave Ethen a few instructions,
telling the latter to follow Jonathan to court.
It was already past eight in the morning by the time Arissa woke up.
She was still feeling a little drowsy.
“Are you still sleepy?” Benjamin sat by the bed and caressed her face.
Nodding, Arissa said lazily, “I'm a little tired.”
“Do you want to lie down for a while more?” The man's eyes were full of affection as he kept his eyes
on her.
“What time is it?” Arissa asked, recalling that the trial was taking place that day.
“It's almost nine o'clock,” Benjamin replied, checking the time on his watch. He then wrapped her up in
the blanket again.
“Then, is court in session already?” Arissa looked at him.
“It started at eight thirty.”Arissa nodded in response, wondering how things were going at the trial.
“Don't worry. Jonathan is confident he can win,” Benjamin said calmly to console her.
Arissa gave him a look and said nothing. She could only wait for the results at that moment.
Nonetheless, she was still nervous about it.
“Why don't you eat something?” Benjamin asked when he noticed she couldn't sleep.
“Okay.” Arissa nodded
