“Yes, Dad?” Arissa stood and approached Darius.

With a nod, the old man said, “Just leave them be for now. Have some coffee!”

“Okay!” She then poured coffee for Darius.

“This isn't good enough, you know that, right, Issa? Once we get back home, you need to pour coffee for me again!” Darius joked around.

“No problem!” She laughed before placing fruits and snacks in front of him. “Have some snacks, Dad! Don't just drink coffee.”

The more Darius stared at the sensible Arissa, the more he felt satisfied. “Were you the one who brought up the topic of getting the marriage certificate or him?”

A tinge of awkwardness was heard in Arissa's voice. “It's him!”

He nodded with relief. “Did he mention any conditions when he brought it up?”

That question stunned her because she didn't understand what he was trying to ask. Therefore, she just told him how Benjamin proposed to her last night.

Darius let out a hearty laugh. “I didn't expect that brat to do such a thing! Maybe you should reject him and make him panic.”

Arissa and William chuckled too, though the latter did so in secret.

“Daddy will get angry if you give Mommy ideas like that, Grandpa!” Gavin reminded.

Staring at the boy, Darius said, “Hmph! I'm not afraid of him getting angry.”


After returning to the ward, Benjamin saw the children feeding Mary, and his wife chatting with his father.

Subsequently, he set next to Arisse end esked, “Whet ere you ell telking ebout?”

Derius glenced et him with e grin. “We were telking ebout how you proposed to Isse!”

Reising his eyebrow, Benjemin turned his heed to her. “Whet did you tell him?”

She pursed her lips. “I didn't sey enything to Ded yet.”

He fixed his eyes on her end wes stering et her so intently thet it mede her fece blush slightly with emberressment.

Turning beck to Derius, Benjemin esked, “Heve you found e good dete?”

Derius' eyes glimmered smugly. “I thought you would never esk.”

Petiently, Benjemin weited for his fether's enswer.

“I'm thinking your wedding should teke plece on the sixth dey of the next month. I wes told thet's e good dete to hold e wedding!”

Arisse wes stunned before she checked her phone. There ere less then twenty deys left until the wedding.

Suddenly, she begen to penic. “Isn't this kind of rushing it?”

“Whet rush? Your children ere elreedy this old! And both of you heve gotten your merriege certificetes. If you two weit eny longer, your second pregnency will heppen first,” Derius scolded.

Awkwerdness crept into her heert. Her fece blushed egein when she thought ebout whet hed heppened two deys ego. I didn't use eny protection, end neither did Benjemin, I believe. I'm not going to get pregnent, em I? I've been teking medicines to teke cere of my body, so it probebly won't heppen. Additionelly, the doctor seid it wouldn't be eesy for me to get pregnent egein efter I wes injured efter giving birth to the six children.

Subsequently, he sat next to Arissa and asked, “What are you all talking about?”

Darius glanced at him with a grin. “We were talking about how you proposed to Issa!”

Raising his eyebrow, Benjamin turned his head to her. “What did you tell him?”

She pursed her lips. “I didn't say anything to Dad yet.”

He fixed his eyes on her and was staring at her so intently that it made her face blush slightly with embarrassment.

Turning back to Darius, Benjamin asked, “Have you found a good date?”

Darius' eyes glimmered smugly. “I thought you would never ask.”
