Chapter 221 Be My Woman
“I know you’re rich, but I won’t necessarily lose the case. I was the one who raised them, and you contributed nothing. Even though you have money, you won’t necessarily get custody over them. I wanted to tell you this, but Danna kidnapped the kids suddenly, so I didn’t have the chance to do so. Moreover, the children kept instigating me, so I took them away.”
Arissa quickly explained the situation to Benjamin.
If she had told him before he found out about the children, the outcome might have been better.
However, at that time, she still could not figure out his relationship with Danna, so she did not dare to take the risk.
She was afraid that not only would she fail to deal with Danna, but she would also lose the four children.
Benjamin sneered. “The children instigated you to hide from me?”
Arissa’s head throbbed as she could not make the unpredictable man out.
“You hurt Gavin, so he refused to stay. You care about Danna more than him, and he’s disappointed in you because of that.”
With a sullen face, Benjamin growled, “I already explained it to him!”
After a while, she let out a long sigh. “Did you explain to him with such an angry face too? He’s still a kid. I think you need to have a good talk with him.”
He shot her a glare, and she stopped speaking.
She had said what needed to be said, and she could not control what he wanted to do.
“Are you sure you’re giving me the other four children?” he suddenly asked.
Arissa stared at him, a little stunned.
Subsequently, a sly grin crept up on her face.
“Of course! As long as you avenge us and take good care of the kids, I’ll allow you to keep them by your side.”
He can deal with Danna faster than me. Why shouldn’t I ride on his coattails?
Benjamin snorted in response. She only said she would let the kids stay by my side. Then what about her?
“Are you trying to deceive me? Will you sneakily bring the kids away after I’ve dealt with Danna?”
“No. As long as you make sure she receives her punishment, I won’t take the kids away.”
Pinching her chin, he warned, “Remember what you said.”
At that moment, her heart missed a beat.
I suddenly regret saying that. What should I do? He’s such a dangerous man. But if I go against him, my chances of winning are extremely low. Furthermore, the kids can live a better life if they stay with him. Besides, it’s not like I’ll lose them forever. They’re still my sweethearts.
“I can make sure she never gets out of prison, but I have a condition.”
Benjamin fixed his gaze on her.
“What is it?” Arissa queried.
Right then, he leaned over and whispered in her ear, “Be my woman.”
Her heart skipped a beat as his toasty breath brushed across her ear.
Staring at his handsome face in astonishment, she wondered if she understood his words correctly.
“But you just said you don’t like me.”
What a slap in the face.
His eyes flickered as he responded indifferently, “You can be my woman even if I don’t like you.”
Arissa was dumbfounded.
Are all men like this?
“I’ll give you ten seconds to think about it. After that, I won’t be this gracious anymore.”
Subsequently, he let go of her and sat on the bed.
If his subordinates were to witness his behavior at that moment, they would have been utterly shocked.
In the meantime, Arissa bit her lip and weighed the situation before she gave in in less than a second.
How can I fight against Benjamin? He only needs to stomp his feet, and the whole country will shake up. I’m not that stupid to bite off more than I can chew. At least I know my place.
“Hm?” Benjamin raised his voice, which had a trace of impatience.
“I agree to your condition!”
Arissa cast a brief look at the man’s alluring facial features and body figure.
I have nothing to lose anyway. Besides, he’s the father of the quintuplets. What is there to worry about?
“Good. Then do you know what you should do next?”
Benjamin stared at her intently. His gaze was aggressive and scorching. It was clear as day what he was trying to say.
