Chapter 1049 That Was Quick

Benjamin's eyes twinkled. He addressed the children in a gentler voice.

“Your mother is pregnant, and she's a little frail. Watch your volume when you're around her, all right?”

The children bobbed their heads. “Got it!”

Benjamin caressed their heads in turn, and they arrived at an unspoken and reconciliatory agreement.

As he led them up the stairs, the children exchanged glances before turning as one to face Gavin, who gazed up at Benjamin. “Why don't you keep Mommy company, Daddy? We'll go home ourselves.”

Benjamin returned Gavin's gaze. “I'm bringing you home as I still have to pack.”

“Oh,” the boy answered.

Benjamin led them into the elevator. “Come on. We should be getting home.”

The children trotted after him. The chauffeur was already waiting at the entrance when they arrived.

Benjamin ushered them into the car before urging the driver to hurry home.
