Chapter 794 You Must Let Me Know

Benjamin sighed and waved his hand, dismissing all of them. Arissa turned to her children with a smile and said, “Sweethearts, go bring all your certificates and artwork. We’ll frame them up together!”

“Okay!” All of them were bouncing with excitement as they pulled out all their certificates and artwork. They followed Arissa out of the study. Benjamin watched them leave.

Then he stood up and followed them. “Mommy, where are we hanging them?” Oliver glanced at the stairs. “Here or along the stairs?”

Arissa looked at the six children, then turned to Benjamin. Benjamin was standing behind them with his hands in his pockets. “Let’s put them up along the stairs.”

“Yeah, let’s do that!” Arissa nodded in agreement. “Come on, Mommy! Let’s put them up!” Jasper was so excited that he was tip-toeing and even jumping up the wall.

“Let’s wait for Mr. Whitley to bring over the frames!” Arissa said to Jasper. Benjamin took the artwork from Tim’s hands and looked at them with raised eyebrows. He was surprised.

He glanced at Arissa. “I didn’t expect you to have quite the skills in arts.”

“Of course! I won plenty of prizes back in my days!” Arissa said proudly.

“What prize did you win?” Benjamin’s eye bore down on Arissa.

“I wasn’t good enough; I won second place!” Arissa returned his gaze.

Benjamin chuckled at her answer.
