The More The Merrier Chapter 376

Chapter 376 The Man Cares For Her

His direct question took Arissa by surprise.

She said nothing as she took a while to swallow her food.

Seeing how quiet she was, Benjamin furrowed his brows.

Nonetheless, he did not interrogate her further but poured a cup of tea for her.

His small actions touched Arissa.

After taking a few sips of the tea, she felt calmer.

She had no idea how to tell Benjamin what happened.

He was the child’s father too. If she was alone, she might not be able to find the child.

If she was searching together with Benjamin, there was a higher chance of finding the child.

When she woke up earlier, she wanted to tell him immediately that she had dreamt of what happened that year

again.

This time, it appeared less fuzzy in her head. It seemed like Danna had taken two of her children.

Thinking about it, Arissa felt her headache return, so she took a deep breath to control it.

“What’s wrong?”

Benjamin noticed the frown on her forehead, and he mirrored it.

Even though Arissa seemed pale and in pain, she replied, “I’m fine.”

It only made Benjamin worry more. He walked toward her and started to massage her head.

Slowly, the pain subsided, and Arissa felt much better than before.

“Don’t think so much for now. You can always tell me when you have fully recovered.”

“No! I can’t do that,” Arissa interrupted and spun around to stare at him.

“I have to tell you!”

Feeling anxious, Arissa started to tear up, and Benjamin was startled by that sight.

“Okay.”

The man’s gentle and soothing voice calmed her down.



Arissa’s heart started to race, and she had a blush that reached her ears.

A hint of happiness flickered in Benjamin’s eyes as he felt glad that she did not turn away but told him things.

It made his heart burst with joy.

Meanwhile, Benjamin continued to massage her head to soothe her headache.

After ten minutes, she muttered, “You can stop. I’m feeling better now.”

Benjamin looked down at her face and noticed she seemed better now.

“If you still feel unwell, you should lie down.”

Arissa felt warm and bubbly on the inside, hearing the concern in Benjamin’s voice.

“Okay, but I’m all right. I can take the pain.”

Benjamin could only give her a disapproving look. “The doctor said that you can’t get agitated.”

“I know that,” Arissa assured. “It is not as serious as the doctor stated anyway. Don’t worry.”

Although Benjamin still did not look convinced, he returned to his seat behind the study table and picked up a

document to read.

Arissa thought it was funny how he changed into a cold nobleman in the next second.

Despite so, she was overjoyed.

He cares for me.

“You know that I visited Danna at the prison, right?” It was a rhetorical question.

“Yes.”

Benjamin did not deny it as it was only natural he knew.

Initially, he did not want her to have to recall all this. However, he had no other choice since the prison guard was

away.

Holding the tea in her hands, Arissa took another sip before she continued, “Benjamin, I think-”

“Mommy!”

Suddenly, the children called out from outside, and their footsteps grew louder.

Arissa glanced at Benjamin.

Understanding her dilemma, Benjamin suggested, “You can continue later.”



In the next minute, the door to the study burst open, revealing the five children, who were still carrying their

backpacks.

They looked cute with their bags bobbing on their backs.

“Mommy!” they called out again.

When Jesse noticed Benjamin’s presence, she froze. Then, he regained his composure and jumped into Arissa’s

embrace.

“Sweetheart!”

Arissa giggled and steadily held Jesse in her arms. Then, her other four brothers ran to her too.

“Mommy!”

“Sweethearts!”

Arissa hugged all of them and took in a whiff of the smell of milk on them. Instantly, she felt that her mood had

lifted.

“Sweethearts, I’m sorry that I did not pick you up.”

Arissa quickly apologized for her broken promise.

“Mommy, it’s okay. Mr. Whitley told us that you were still sick, so you did not pick us up. Are you feeling better

now?”

Gavin frowned and worriedly questioned.
