Chapter 947 My Embrace

Quickly schooling her features, she put on a smile, although it looked a touch stiff. “Let’s go in!” The sextuplets studied her for a moment before they took her hands.

The warmth from their soft palms traveled to her cold hands, suffusing her with a warmth that penetrated into the depths of her heart. She flashed them a grateful smile.

Draping an arm around her shoulder, Benjamin murmured, “Don’t smile if you don’t feel like it. It looks awful.”

That promptly rendered Arissa speechless.

The children looked at Benjamin in disapproval.

“Don’t you know how to console others, Mr. Graham? Mommy needs some comfort now!”

Benjamin quirked an eyebrow and pinned his eyes on the children.
