Chapter 1097 Am I That Violent
“You thought?” Benjamin chuckled and squeezed her cheeks. “I swear I''ve never hit him!”
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!
Benjamin narrowed his eyes and leaned toward her. “Am I violent?”
Arissa''s heart skipped a beat, and she was blushing when he suddenly leaned toward her.
“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 shed 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!”
Arissa bit her lower lip and reminded, “If you keep this up, Zachary and the others will have a problem
with you.”
Benjamin froze momentarily, and a light sense of pleasure rose in his heart. “Are you worried about
them having a fight with me?”
Arissa heaved a sigh and nodded. “They aren''t even that close to you, yet you''re so strict with them!”
Arissa was worried that the kids could turn on him because he was a disciplinarian.
“Don''t worry about that,” Benjamin assured.
“Who was the one who told me to persuade the children to ept you back then?” Arissa sighed
helplessly.
Benjamin smiled and yed dumb. “Not me!”
Words eluded Arissa.
After a while, she asked, “Tim had a slow start. Are you expecting him to follow your standard as well?”
Benjamin was an incredibly capable man, and not every child was as smart as he was. He could be
asking for too much if he were to expect all his kids to achieve what he had achieved.
Benjamin dressed her up and helped her lie down. After pulling the nket over her, he said, “I can''t
make Tim an exception. If I do that, he''ll get hurt. In fact, he''s not doing too badly. Although he had a
late start, he can still work hard and catch up with Gavin and the rest.”
Arissa mulled over it and agreed with what Benjamin had said. Tim is a sensitive child, but he''s a hard
worker. He has only been around for a short while, but he''s already going to school with the rest of his
siblings. He''s now rather knowledgeable.
Compared to the other kids of the same age, Tim was a fast learner.
“Don''t worry about these things. I know what to do.” Benjamin massaged her forehead and brought the
basin into the bathroom.
Momentster, Arissa saw himing out with the dirtyundry and putting them into theundry bag.
“You should take a shower.”
“I''ll do thatter. I still have work to do.” Benjamin washed his hands and brought her a ss of water
and medicine.
“Don''t you think it''s better if you shower now? You might catch a cold if you showerte. What if I fall
asleep first?” Arissa wanted Benjamin to shower so that he could shower without worrying about
disturbing her sleep.
The night before, he had tiptoed his way to the bathroom in the middle of the night.
“All right. I''ll shower after you take your medicine. Why are you always worrying about everything? Why
can''t you just rest?”
Arissa snorted. “So you''re saying that I nag a lot?”
“No!” Benjamin affectionately blew on the water to cool it down before giving her the pill.
He had broken the pill into a bunch of smaller pieces, so Arissa had to eat in a few batches.
“I''m so sick of drinking water,” Arissa grumbled with a frown. But I have no choice because I need to
take my medicine.
“Do you want to eat all at once?”
Arissa stuck out her tongue in disgust. “No! That would be too bitter.”
