The More the Merrier novel Chapter 1096

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.

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...”
