Chapter 1096 You Do Not Believe Me

“Am I?” With a brow quirked, Benjamin stared at Arissa intently.

Arissa glowered at him in exasperation. Good Lord! Can't he even tell that much?

“Do you think the kids can do it? Jesse can't do it.” She found it necessary to remind the

man of that fact.

Benjamin eyed each of the children. “I'll make a detailed plan according to their respective

situations.”

The sextuplets sighed. Oh well, it looks like there's no escaping this.

Arissa did not know what to say to that anymore. All she could do was encourage the

children. “You've all got to work hard, Sweethearts!”

“Don't worry, Mommy. It isn't that easy for him to punish us.” Snorting, Zachary threw

Benjamin a challenging look, no longer afraid.

Benjamin met his eyes squarely without taking it to heart.

Heh! These brats think I can't teach them a lesson, huh?

“But of course. You're all the best, and I believe in you!” Ultimately, Arissa took the

children's side.

Benjamin cast a glance at her, inwardly sighing helplessly.

After finishing their homework, the children kept Arissa company at the hospital for a while

before following Bradley home.

“I'll wipe you down.” Benjamin walked over with a basin and sat down by the bed.

Arissa pinned her eyes on him. “I'll go and take a shower by myself.”

I can be discharged from the hospital already, so there's no need for him to wipe me

down.

She wanted to get out of bed from the other side, but the man grabbed her wrist and

pressed her back onto the bed. “Where are you going?”

“I'm going to take a shower!” Arissa glared at him.

“I told you to stay still.”

“I've already recovered!”

“Stay still!” While holding her down, Benjamin reached out and unbuttoned her hospital

gown.

At his seriousness, Arissa had no choice but to remain seated and allow him to wipe her

down.

“You've got a problem with me?” Benjamin lifted his eyes and trained them on her pursed

lips.

Blinking, Arissa harrumphed softly. “Who'd dare to have a problem with you?”

Benjamin arched a brow before pinching her nose. “And you say you don't have a problem

with me? Are you still mad about the matter with the kids?”

Stunned, Arissa gaped at him. She could not quite believe that he had actually seen

through her.

“You're too strict with them.” Verily, she did not want him to demand the same of the

other five children as he did Gavin.

Benjamin frowned at her accusation. “You spoil them too much!”

“What's wrong with me spoiling them when they're my kids? I merely want them to have a

happy childhood. You used to demand the same of Gavin, yes? Look at what he was like

when he was by your side back then.”

Realizing that she was overly emotional, Arissa composed herself.

Benjamin stilled for a moment. A flash of guilt toward Gavin hit him in the chest. “It was

negligence on my part.”

Arissa glanced at him. Hmm? He's not angry although I criticized him?

“I'll pay more attention to it in the future. However, there's nothing wrong with me being

strict with them academically. If I do punish them, I promise not to use physical

punishment! Are you satisfied now?”

Arissa's eyes flickered. “Are you serious? Didn't you have Gavin stand as punishment back

then? You even had him run laps!”

A frown marred Benjamin's countenance as he inwardly snorted. Hmph! That brat is quite

the tattletale!

“I had him stand as punishment so that he'd remember his mistake. Meanwhile, running

laps is for the sake of his health. I've never hit him!”

Benjamin felt that all that wasn't a problem since he had not gone overboard.

When he saw the dubious look in Arissa's eyes, the veins on his forehead started

throbbing.

“You don't believe me?”

Biting her lip, Arissa regarded him suspiciously. “You've never hit him?”

In truth, she had struck the children when they were mischievous.

However, she had only hit them on the bottom.

Benjamin heaved a sigh. “He told you that I hit him?”

Meeting the man's grim gaze, Arissa instinctively gulped.

“No, but I thought you would've done so since you punished him...”
