Chapter 359

Do Not Touch My Mommy

Benjamin was awoken by the noise made by the kids when they ran into the room.

He looked at the little ones sleepily while touching Arissa’s forehead and felt relieved after making sure
that her body temperature was normal.

“You’re not allowed to touch my mommy!” Zachary bellowed in an imposing manner with his brows
furrowed.

“You’re so shameless! How can you touch Mommy!” Gavin gritted his teeth and scolded.

Faced with the angry stares of the five little ones, Benjamin chided, “Stop hollering. Your mommy is
sick!”

At once, the children went closer to the bed with worried expressions on their faces.

“What happened to Mommy?”

“She had a fever last night. Keep your voice down,” Benjamin reminded the kids before turning around
and lying on his back, massaging his temples.

As he did not sleep well, the man was in a rather bad mood. If it was someone else instead of the kids,
he would have flared up long ago.

“Mommy looks really pale!” Gavin commented after observing Arissa’s face while touching her
forehead carefully.

“Gavin, here’s the thermometer!” Jasper said while passing the thermometer to his brother.

“Gavin, quickly check if Mommy still has a fever,” Zachary continued with his brows still tightly knitted.



After checking Arissa’s temperature, Gavin announced, “Her temperature is normal now. There’s no
more fever!”

Only then did the five little ones heave a sigh of relief.

“Since Mommy is still sleeping, shall we go out first?” Oliver suggested.

Jesse sneaked a glance at Benjamin and said softly, “But I want to stay with Mommy!”

“Let’s stay here then!” Zachary decided, with his younger brothers and sister nodding fervently in
agreement.

Gavin did not raise any objections as well but reminded the rest of the kids, “Let’s sit over there so that
we don’t disturb Mommy.”

His siblings nodded in response before all of them headed over to the side of the room.

Benjamin did not fall back to sleep, keeping his eyes open.

When he glanced over at the children, he saw that they were all looking at him.

Reading the displeasure in their eyes, the man cocked his brows and sat up.

“Have you guys washed up?”

When Jesse yawned, Benjamin could not help but notice how much the girl resembled Arissa, and his
gaze softened.

It would be great if only all the four boys were girls instead.

To Benjamin, Jesse was the most adorable one among the five children.



“Hmph!”

Gavin merely shook his head without replying to his father.

“We haven’t washed up yet. What about it?” Zachary replied, meeting Benjamin’s gaze.

The man looked at his five children and said, “Daddy will help you guys wash up. Let’s go!”

The little ones glanced at Benjamin before looking at each other and remained seated.

Sighing silently, Benjamin tried again in a more domineering manner.

“Gavin, bring your brothers to the bathroom to wash up. Come back after that. Mommy won’t be waking
up so soon. Let her get more rest!”

Gavin turned around and glared at his father.

Benjamin rubbed his nose awkwardly, wondering where the boy had gotten his hot temper from.

He walked over and patted his son’s head, saying, “A man shouldn’t be angry with his daddy. You
should also be setting a good example for your siblings. Go and wash up!”

Hearing that, Gavin pouted before addressing his siblings, “Let’s go and wash up!”

Gavin was the first to run out of the room.

When Zachary saw that, he followed behind his elder brother, taking the rest of his siblings along.

A short while later, the five little ones were all gone.

Staring at the empty doorway, Benjamin sighed.



Arissa rolled over in bed, sniffing, as she sensed the presence of the kids.

When Benjamin turned around, he met the woman’s gaze as she opened her eyes.

Feeling sleepy, Arissa still had a fatigued look on her face.

“You’re awake?”

Benjamin asked, leaning closer, pushing away the strands of hair that were stuck to the woman’s face.

“Yup,” Arissa replied, perking up, even though her voice still sounded rather weak.

“It’s still early. You should get more sleep,” Benjamin urged, tucking her in.

“Are the kids here?”
