Chapter 1349 Adding Punishment


    “What are you looking at?” Benjamin raised an eyebrow, his gaze carrying a hint of suppression. He


    exuded an imposing aura.


    Jonathan chuckled and yfully jested, “I''ve noticed your undivided attention on Arissa. I never would


    have imagined that someone who typically disys little interest in women would one day have an


    enamored expression on his face!”


    Snorting softly, Benjamin picked up his drink and swirled it around before taking a sip. “When you meet


    that person, you''ll naturally feel the same as I do!”


    Jonathan imagined the scene for a moment, then decided he wouldn''t act this way. “I''m sure I''m not like


    you!”


    “Don''t be overly definitive in your statements!” Benjamin offered a word of advice from his personal


    experience. He had once held simrly staunch views, only to find himself unable to rein in his own


    heart.


    Jonathan chuckled. He gestured toward the study. “Arissa has gone to the study!”


    Benjamin nced to the side, a trace of worry crossing his face. However, thinking that the children


    probably wouldn''t dare to confront Arissa, he quickly reassured himself, his expression returning to


    normal.


    “Let''s drink!” Benjamin lifted his chin slightly before he started discussing work matters with Jonathan.


    The two of them chatted while they drank.


    Arissa stepped into the study and discovered six children standing with impable posture in a corner,


    their backs straight. They were facing the wall.


    From their upright postures, it was clear they had experienced this many times.


    She made a noise on purpose, causing the children to turn their heads. In a soft, timid voice, they


    called out, “Mommy!”


    Arissa nced at them and snorted lightly. “Are you tired of standing?”


    The six children nced at her, unsure if she was expressing concern or implying something else, but


    they still responded earnestly, “No!”


    After all, they had only been standing as punishment for a few minutes. How could they possibly be


    tired so quickly?


    “True, standing in the corner as a form of punishment doesn''t seem to have the same effect on you all


    anymore!” Arissa chuckled, but her tone caused Gavin and the rest to instinctively lower their heads


    and redirect their gaze at the wall.


    Arissa observed their behavior, feeling a mixture of amusement and exasperation, though she


    managed to maintain aposed expression.


    “For the uing week, none of you are permitted to ess the inte on your phones or allowed to


    watch television!”


    All six children exhibited expressions of anguish. Their individual interests were deeply intertwined with


    the inte. Now, they were not only barred from online activities but also deprived of the enjoyment of


    watching TV, including the cartoon series they were avidly following.


    “Mommy...” The six children turned around, looking pitifully at Arissa.


    Arissa showed no mercy. “Considering the punishment I''ve given you, it''s quite lenient. Or would you


    rather run thirty kilometers instead?”


    The six children blinked their eyes. Running a few kilometers might be doable for them, but thirty


    kilometers seemed too difficult.


    Zachary was the first to lower his head, making a wise choice. “Mommy, go ahead and punish me. I


    admit my mistake!”


    Oliver and Jasper took a quick nce at him then hurriedly followed suit, epting the punishment


    from Arissa.


    “Mommy, we agree too!” They certainly don''t want to run thirty kilometers.


    Quickly and discreetly, Jasper tugged at Tim''s clothes, signaling him to ept immediately.


    Tim understood and quickly nodded. “Mommy, if you don''t want us to use our phones or watch TV, we


    won''t!”


    Seeing that they all agreed and no one was left behind, Gavin said, “Mommy, we promise not to use


    our phones. You can confiscate them!”


    Jesse was pouting. She felt utterly miserable at the thought of not being able to watch cartoons or y


    games for the entire uing week.


    Arissa nced at the little girl, her voice lowered with an air of authority. “Mm?”


    Jesse nced at her, then replied in a soft voice, “Understood, Mommy!”


    Arissa''s gaze shifted across the group of children. None of the six dared to utter a word, as they were


    uncertain about what else she might have to say.


    Deep down, they harbored a secret and felt a trace of guilt, fearful that she might discover it.


    Gavin exchanged nces with Tim and Zachary, signaling with his gaze that they should tell Arissa the


    truth.


    Otherwise, if she found out, they would get punished again. C0pyright ? 2024 N?v)(elDrama.Org.
