Arissa felt awkward because she had misunderstood him, but she apologized magnanimously, “I'm sorry for misunderstanding you!”

Benjamin raised his brows and decided to tease her. “What's the matter? Am I that violent?”

“No,” Arissa murmured. Well, he looks like a man who would hit his kids. Not only does he expect a lot from the kids, but he also said he was going to punish them. I couldn't help but overthink!

“You're not!” she replied sheepishly before sneaking a peek at him. Does this man know he's wiping me down? Why is he taking his sweet time?

Benjamin flashed a faint smile and continued wiping her down hurriedly. “With you keeping a close eye on them, I'll have trouble punishing them. I won't expect too much from Jesse, but my expectations for the boys are high!”
