Chapter 834 Good News
“Just some of them,” replied Benjamin, looking at the woman. Ethen had passed down
Benjamin’s orders to a few schools in Dellmoor, but not all. However, it was for sure that
none of the better schools in the city would accept the kid.
Arissa nodded when she heard the man’s reply. If that was the case, it did not concern them
whether or not the rest of the schools wanted to accept that woman’s kid.
There was no need for her to feel guilty. “Is that woman going to be arrested?” she
asked. Without replying, Benjamin fixed his gaze on Arissa before turning the woman’s head
around to face him. The next moment, he pressed his lips against hers.
Arissa could almost feel her head spinning from the man’s passionate kiss and stopped
fretting about other matters. When they arrived at the hospital, Benjamin planted another
kiss on the corner of Arissa’s lips.
Looking at the woman who was blushing, his gaze darkened as he felt waves of desire rise
within him. He wouldn’t have stopped if they did not have something to attend to.
“Are you able to get out of the car?” Benjamin asked teasingly while pinching the woman’s
cheek lovingly. Arissa was panting and her face was flushed red.

his finger against her nose and got out of the car. “Come on!”
Arissa cleared her throat before stepping out of the car. Standing next to the car door,
Benjamin put his hand on the headliner to prevent the woman from bumping her head
against it.
Then, the couple headed into the hospital together. “I wonder how Grandaunt is feeling
today!”
Arissa had only spoken to Mary on the phone the previous day but did not visit her at the
hospital. “She should be fine. If there’s anything wrong, Shaun would have called me,”
Benjamin replied, reassuring the woman.
Arissa nodded. When both of them reached the ward, there was still about an hour left to
Mary’s surgery. Mary had just finished her breakfast with the help of a nurse.
When the old lady saw the couple, she greeted them with a smile on her face. “Why are you
guys here? Don’t you have to work?”
“Grandaunt, knowing that you’re having your surgery today, how can we work in peace?
Since he’s the boss, it wouldn’t matter what time we go to the office. Don’t worry about us.”
Arissa sat by Mary’s bedside and held the old lady’s hand while expressing her concern for
her. “It’s just a minor surgery. You guys didn’t have to come!” Feeling extremely touched,
Mary replied, “Do Tim and the other kids know about my surgery?”
“Nope, we didn’t tell them about it. You should have some rest now. We’ll be here with you!”
Arissa said as she tucked the blanket under Mary’s arm.
After greeting Mary, Benjamin left the ward to look for Shaun to ask him about Mary’s
condition. “Grandaunt, I have good news to tell you!”
Arissa was smiling so vibrantly that one could easily tell that something good had happened
to her. “What’s the good news? I can tell that you’re in a very good mood today! Quick, tell
me about it!”
Mary was smiling from ear to ear as she urged Arissa to share the news. “Grandaunt,
Benjamin and I got married!” Arissa said softly. “What?” Mary froze for a moment when she
heard that.
“We made the decision last night and registered our marriage this morning!” Arissa told
Mary cheerfully. “Really?”
Mary was rather shocked to hear that. “But it’s only seven o’clock in the morning. How did
you manage to register your marriage? The city hall only opens after eight, right?”

“Oh, someone came to our house in the morning to officiate our marriage. We just had to
take a picture and fill in a form. The entire process took less than twenty minutes!”
Arissa had a blissful expression as she spoke. Mary felt a sense of relief after noticing the
look on the woman’s face. She did not expect the two youngsters to get married so
soon. “Do the kids know that the two of you are married already?”
Arissa nodded as she replied, “Yup, they do.”
“Tim must have been thrilled!” Mary said, beaming.
“Yup! The kids were all really excited to know about it. They were pretty shocked when we
told them,” Arissa replied merrily.
Mary looked at the younger woman and said smilingly, “I’m really surprised too! I didn’t
expect both of you to get married so soon!”
Feeling slightly awkward, Arissa replied, “It was a sudden decision. I didn’t expect Benjamin
to be serious about marrying me.”
Mary patted the back of Arissa’s hand and said gently, “Do you really not know about
Benjamin’s feelings toward you?”
A blush of embarrassment spread across Arissa’s cheeks when she met Mary’s smiling
gaze.
