Chapter 371 Benjamin My Daddy

“Have your fever subsided?” This time, it was Jasper’s voice.

“Yes, I’m okay now.”

Arissa assured her children to prevent them from worrying too much. She spoke cautiously, so they would not fret too much.

Then, Jesse requested, “Mommy, can you turn on your video? Let us have a look at you!”

Arissa did not anticipate his request. Alarmed, she hastily replied, “No, I can’t do that! There are many people here because I am not at home.”

If she turned her video on, the children would notice that she was in the hospital and worry about her again.

“Mommy, if you aren’t at home, where are you? I thought you were sleeping minutes ago?”

Jesse was quick to pick up the inconsistency in her story.

Sticking to her lie, Arissa stated, “Oh, yes. I was sleeping earlier. However, I’m at your father’s office now. His colleagues are around, so it isn’t convenient to turn on the video now.”

Frustrated, Gavin huffed, “Mommy, I thought he allowed you to take a break from work. Why did you return to the office?”

Arissa gave Benjamin an apologetic look, and he could only shrug.

Feeling bad, Arissa rubbed her nose and tried to find an excuse. “Something cropped up, and I had to deal with it. I will go home soon!”
