“Yeah. I've been waiting the whole morning, but there isn't news yet,” Arissa answered.

Benjamin glanced over when he heard that.

Meeting his eyes, Arissa blinked and said, “Go back to your class, Sweetheart. Don't worry about me.”

Only then did Zachary answer reluctantly, “Don't worry, Mommy. Mr. Patterson is incredible. Everything will be fine.”

“Okay! Go back to class now and don't skip your classes.”

“Bye, Mommy!” responded Zachary before hanging up.

When Arissa put down the phone, she smiled as she thought of the little boy.

He actually secretly gave me a call.

Benjamin got up and poured her a glass of water. “I told you to rest, yet you talked on the phone for so long.”

“It was Zachary, so I talked to him for a while. It wasn't very long anyway.”

Benjamin placed the glass to her lips. “Why were you talking to him when he's skipping class?”

Arissa chuckled. “He says the class is boring because he knows everything already. That's why he got out to go to the restroom.” After taking the glass of water, she waved her hand dismissively. “Go get busy. There's no need to bother about me.”

Benjamin eyed her. “Do you need to go to the bathroom?”

“Nope.” Arissa shook her head.

Benjamin waited for her to finish the water and helped her put the glass away before returning to his work.

Half an hour later, just as Arissa was about to doze off to sleep, Benjamin's phone rang.

Arissa went wide awake and looked in his direction.

“Yes. Has it ended?” asked Benjamin upon answering the phone.

Arissa's gaze was still fixed on him. It must be someone from the court.

“Okay.” A look of satisfaction appeared in Benjamin's eyes. “We're at the hospital where Shaun is.”

The moment he hung up, Arissa asked impatiently, “How did it go?”

Benjamin glanced at her before approaching her and taking a seat by her bed.

“Quick! Tell me!” Arissa urged, feeling anxious.

Benjamin curled his lips and pinched her nose. “Danna's given a life sentence.”

Arissa's eyes went side with surprise. “Really?”

“I told you. Nothing will go wrong when Jonathan's handling it. Still, you didn't believe me. Do you feel better now?”

Only then did Arissa smile and sigh with relief.

“That woman's finally getting punished.”

Benjamin stroked her head when his phone rang again. It was from Ethen.

He picked it up and walked to the side. He instructed Ethen, “Get people to expose Danna's court results!”

He wanted Danna's reputation to be ruined, including the Adams family's.

“Thank you!” Arissa said gratefully. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

Benjamin walked over to her side and ruffled her hair. “Silly, why are you being so polite to me?”

Arissa smiled. It's so great that he's helping me and the kids to get revenge.

“Darling!” she called out all of a sudden.

“Yes?” Benjamin's spirits lifted.

“Come here.” Arissa waved him over, her eyes sparkling.

Benjamin leaned closer to her.

Arissa sat up on the bed and kissed him. “Thank you for taking revenge on our behalf.”

Giving her an affectionate smile, Benjamin said, “It's what I should do. How am I still a man if I can't protect you and the kids?”

Arissa gazed at him dreamily. “You're so cool!”

Benjamin's eyes gleamed. Just as he leaned closer to kiss her, Arissa's phone rang.

“It's Bradley!” Arissa smiled awkwardly before answering the phone.

Benjamin had no choice but to suppress the desire in his heart.
