Chapter 968 Stay in My Sight It was half past five when Benjamin was finally done with work. Arissa and the children werenât in his office, so he packed up his stuff and went out in search of them.
Arissa and the children were currently at Ethenâs office. âSweethearts, thatâs enough. Letâs not bother Mr. Frank at work,â Arissa said.
âItâs fine,â Ethen responded cheerily. He welcomed the kids, as it was rare to see them at work. Arissa gave a soft chuckle as she watched him play with the children.
âMr. Frank, when are you going to get off work? Weâll be having dinner at Grandpaâs place later,â Jesse revealed with a bright smile. Ethen pinched her cheek dotingly. âWow! Youâll get to eat yummy food while I work!â
Jesse let out a giggle. âIâm sure Grandpaâs got something delicious at his place. If there is, Iâll call the driver to bring some over for you!â
Ethen was flattered. âSure thing!â âMr. Frank, weâll ask someone to deliver yummy food, so donât eat too much for dinner,â Zachary reminded him.
Delighted, Ethen gave them a hug and kissed them. âThank you, kids!â Right then, Benjamin, standing at the door, called out, âArissa, we need to go!â
Arissa turned over her shoulder and was taken aback to see his grim expression.
âLetâs go,â Benjamin said.
âOkay!â Arissa responded hastily. She gathered the kids. âCome on, Sweethearts. Itâs time to head to Grandpaâs house.â
The children waved goodbye to Ethen and left his office.
âDaddy, are you done with work?â Gavin ran to Benjamin excitedly and raised his head to look at him.
Benjamin ruffled his hair and replied, âYeah, my work is done.â
âYay, we can finally leave now!â Oliver clapped happily.
Tim, Zachary, Jasper, and Jesse cheered in excitement as well.
Arissaâs lips curled up when she saw how delighted they were.
âAll right, kids. Come, letâs go downstairs.â
âMommy, we need to get our bags!â Zachary said.
He was the first to sprint to Benjaminâs office in his haste to retrieve his bag.
âMommy, Iâll go get my bag too!â Oliver said and ran away.
âMommy, me too!â Tim chirped.
The rest also followed suit.
The six children soon disappeared from sight.
Benjamin extended his arm toward Arissa. The latterâs cheeks flushed with warmth as she gently intertwined her fingers with his.
Benjamin led her back to his office and asked, âWhat were you doing there?â
Arissa watched him closely and could tell that he was slightly upset.
âI was bringing the kids around the company!â She took a surreptitious glance in his direction and was surprised to find him staring right back at her with his dark eyes. Her heart fluttered at the suddenness of it, and she couldnât help but ask, âIs something the matter?â
Benjamin pursed his lips. âItâs nothing.â
Despite his response, Arissa still felt that he was displeased.
âWere the kids too noisy?â she asked.
Benjaminâs gaze shifted to her, and he gave her a light pinch on the cheek before responding with a firm but gentle voice, âNo. Itâs not about them.â
Arissa pouted, confused as to why he appeared so upset with her. âThen why do you look so grim?â she asked, hoping to discover the source of his displeasure.
As she was frowning unhappily, Benjamin stepped forward and gently drew her nearer to him. He spoke in a quiet, soothing tone. âDonât hang around Ethen so often in the future.â
Arissa froze and stared at him in shock. âWhat do you mean?â
Seriously? Is he jealous?

Arissa was struck dumb, yet she could feel a sense of warmth radiating through her chest.
She gulped and explained, âAll I did was bring the kids to greet Mr. Frank. Donât read too much into it. Are you not confident in yourself?â
