Arissa's face heated up at the sound of his low chuckle.

She glanced at him. “Are you going to the hospital or not?”

He smiled and replied, “Of course.”

“Then go get changed!”

She looked away, her heart beating wildly in her chest.

Still smiling, he reached out to caress her hair lightly. “Go and bring my clothes to me.”

Arissa's mouth twitched. “You can go get it yourself. I just packed your bag when you took a shower again.”

Benjamin frowned. “Is taking a shower a crime now?”

Arissa pressed her lips together.

“Remember what you promised me? You're not self-aware at all!” Benjamin scoffed.

She glared at him again, but at the sight of his sharp stare, she quietly got up and went to bring him his clothes.

“Hurry and change.”

She tossed his clothes to him and turned to walk into the bathroom to help him pack some of the toiletries.

Benjamin walked into the bathroom curiously at the sound of bottles clinking.

When he saw Arissa putting the toiletries into a bag, he felt a vein pulsing in his forehead.

“What are you doing?”

“I'm bringing these back home!” She said naturally. Clearly, this wasn't the first time she'd done it.

He stared at her speechlessly for a whole minute before choking out, “Arissa, how poor do you think we are? Why do we need to bring all of these back?”

She giggled at the sight of his disgust.

“This has nothing to do with money. It's just a waste to leave it here, that's all.”

It wasn't as if these belonged to the hotel. They had bought them specifically when they came over, so obviously they had to bring their own belongings away.

Benjamin just continued to look at her in silence.

She proceeded to tidy up their things as he stared.

“Just leave these here. Someone else will come and tidy things up,” Benjamin said.

He only left the room after she continued to ignore him.

Arissa checked the room, making sure she hadn't left anything behind, before leaving.

She glanced at Benjamin, who was in the middle of changing. Then she walked out to check the kids' room as well.

After Benjamin was done changing, he walked out with his hands in his pockets and watched her pacing around the room.

She turned around and looked at him. “Are you done?”

“Clearly,” Benjamin said in a deep voice.

“Then let's go to the hospital.”

She went back to take her handbag before the two of them went downstairs.

Ethen was already waiting for them with the six kids all set in the car.

“Mommy!”

“Mommy! Come here!”

“Mommy!”

All of the kids began waving at and calling out to her.

Arissa quickened her pace at the sound of her kids.

“Mommy, come on!”

“Okay!”

She bent down to get into the car and the moment she sat down, Gavin slammed the door shut and left Benjamin outside.

“Drive!” the kids called out to the driver in unison.
