“Tim, sleep in the center!”

“Tim, you should sleep in the center.”

All the children insisted that Tim sleep in the center.

“I'm fine sleeping by the side,” Tim murmured.

Avrissa persuaded him with a smile, “Sweetheart, since it's your

first time sleeping here and you're still unfamiliar with your

surroundings, it's better that you sleep in the center.”

“Hehe, if you sleep by the side, you might fall off the bed just

like Jesse,” Jasper teased.

“Just like Mr. Graham the other morning too!” Zachary cracked

a smile.

Suddenly, everyone's gazes fell upon Benjamin.

Kingsley burst out in brazen laughter. “Benjamin, I'm surprised

to hear that you fell off your bed while sleeping.”

Benjamin shot him a glare.

‘When everyone noticed that he didn't deny the fact, they were

both amused and curious as to how it had even happened.

“Zachary, how did your daddy fall off the bed? Tell us!”

“I don't know. But when | woke up, he had already fallen to the

ground.”

Zachary blinked as he was unfazed by the look Benjamin was

giving him.

Everyone guffawed as the image of Benjamin falling off his

bed popped into their minds.

Benjamin looked daggers at Arissa.

Pursing her lips, she calmly averted her gaze

and signaled for the children to settle in.

“Sweethearts, it's time for bed. It's getting late.”

Darius, too, helped tuck them in with a smile.

The five children lay down in bed and looked at Arissa before

turning their gazes to the others.

Everyone couldn't help but be blown away by their cuteness.

Likewise, Darius’ smile never once faded throughout the entire

episode.

Sitting by the bed, he looked affectionately at his five

grandchildren. “Let me tell you a bedtime story.”

“Grandpa, your stories don't make us sleepy.”

Blinking and pouting, Gavin looked uniquely adorable with his

serious expression.

“In that case, I'll tell you a story that's less exciting and will

help you sleep.”

Darius craved for more time with them.

Avrissa noticed how much he wanted to do it, so she urged the

children, “Let Grandpa do it.”

Darius threw her a delighted look.

“Grandpa, go on. Tim hasn't heard it before.”

Zachary turned to look at Tim.

‘When Tim glanced at Darius, the latter's heart melted at the

innocent look on Tim's face.

Darius began to tell them stories from his time in the army.

After Benjamin blew dry Jesse's hair, he told her to join the

others on the bed.

Hearing that, Jesse hurried over.

“Slow down!” Arissa barked.

“Hehe.” The moment Jesse cracked a smile, she looked as

cute as a pixie.

“Jesse, sleep here.”

Gavin quickly made some space so that Jesse could sleep

among them.

Arissa looked at them with a smile and tucked Jesse in.

Jesse was ecstatic to lie in between Tim and Gavin.

She turned left and right to look at them. “Gavin, Tim.”

“Mm-hmm.” Tim beamed in response.

Gavin pulled up the blanket and covered her snugly.

Observing the children, Arissa leaned in and tucked all of them

in.

The six children slept together and listened to Darius’ story.

As the story reached the exciting part, their eyes gleamed.

Benjamin walked over to Arissa's side. “You should go and

take a bath.”

Avrissa's ear turned red when Benjamin breathed in her ear. At

the same time, she could feel a tingling sensation on her skin.

“Just a while more.” She quietly stepped aside.

Benjamin's eyes glistened in response.

When he saw her blush, his gaze deepened as he said, “Dad's

story is a long one. By the time he finishes, it will be very late.

Just go now.”

His bassy voice was tinged with a hint of dominance.

Avrissa snuck a glance at him and met with his mesmerizing

gaze, which caused her heart to skip a beat.

“I'l watch over them,” Benjamin added.
