Chapter 711


    Chapter 711 Sulking


    “Okay, Mommy!” The kids exchanged nces, and they noticed the weird vibe Benjamin and Arissa


    were giving. They couldn’t help but gaze at both of their parents back and forth.


    “Focus on your dinner and stop looking around,” Arissa urged. Upon hearing that, the kids quickly


    retracted their gazes and ate their dinner obediently.


    Benjamin shot her a quick look before focusing on his dinner as well. The dining room was rather quiet,


    and only the soft sounds of them chewing on their food could be heard.


    While Arissa was eating with her head hung low, Benjamin noticed she had only taken the food ced


    right in front of her. Hence, he took some food from the other side of the table for her.


    Upon seeing that, Arissa froze momentarily. What is he doing? He was angry at me, wasn’t he? Why is


    he being so nice to me now?


    She didn’t eat the food he gave to her.


    Benjamin frowned when he noticed that. In a deep voice, he said, “Eat up. Don’t waste food.”


    Arissa ignored him.


    The kids were weirded out when they saw Arissa ignoring Benjamin. Are Daddy and Mommy fighting?


    They sneaked a peek at Benjamin but quickly retracted their gazes when he caught them looking at


    him.


    Arissa finished two portions of pasta in a blink of an eye and continued watching the kids eat.


    Benjamin nced at her bowl before finishing the food she left untouched.


    “Are you full already? You’ve only eaten so little,” he asked.


    “I am,” Arissa answered tly.


    Benjamin merely nced at her in response. I’ve already tried being nice to her. Why is she still


    sulking?


    He was annoyed, so he stopped talking.

    The moment he was done eating, he got up and went to the study.


    Arissa watched him leave, and when she turned back, she saw six pairs of eyes filled with curiosity


    staring at her.


    “Mommy, are you fighting with Daddy?” Gavin was worried.


    Arissa patted his head. “I’m not.”


    What she said was the truth as she was simply not in the mood to deal with him because she was still


    pissed at how he talked to her on the phone back when she was at the hospital. Until now, I still have


    no idea why he threw a tantrum! Who on earth would cheer up so quickly after being treated like that? I


    can get angry too!


    Gavin nced at her.


    Zachary wasn’t convinced. “Mommy, since you guys aren’t fighting, why won’t you talk to him?”


    “I’m not in the mood, that’s all.” Arissa simply gave them an excuse. Well, we aren’t fighting. I just can’t


    stand his attitude, and I haven’t regained myposure yet.


    “Are you really okay?” Tim asked, his eyes filled with concern.


    “I’m fine.” Arissa smiled and urged, “Eat up, okay? After dinner, go rest for a while. And after that, go


    shower and go to bed. You guys still have to go to school tomorrow.”


    Unlike Tim, the other kids looked surprised, and they didn’t seem keen to go to school.


    That was when Arissa realized she hadn’t bought stationery and a schoolbag for Tim.


    She checked the time and saw that there was still enough time to head out and buy the required items.


    Arissa stood up and said, “Sweethearts, carry on eating, okay? I need to head out for a while.”


    “Where are you going, Mommy?” Jesse looked up at her.


    Arissa pinched her cheek and replied, “I need to go buy something. So carry on with your dinner.”


    “What are you buying?” Oliver asked.


    “Just things.” Arissa then told Edwin to watch the kids before rushing out.


    “What is Mommy buying? Why did she leave in such a hurry?” Gavin was perplexed.


    “Could it be that she had gone out to buy a schoolbag for Tim?” Zachary uttered.


    Gavin thought that was most probably the case.


    At the same time, Tim’s eyes lit up.


    “But why didn’t Mommy bring us along if she wanted to buy a schoolbag?” Still chewing on his food,


    Jasper nced at the others and added, “Could it be that she had gone out to buy pads?”


    “What?” Edwin grew curious.


    Jasper giggled.


    “You know, the thing Mommy uses! Umm… What are those things called again? Oh, yeah! Sanitary


    pads!” Jesse smiled and exined.


    Edwin was stunned momentarily because he just realized something. He then recalled the time he saw


    Arissa’s sanitary pads when he was packing her luggage for her.


    Regardless, he was too shy to continue the topic, so he simply kept mum.
