Chapter 1385 Who Are You Calling
After finishing his work in the study, Benjamin realized it was almost midnight. Recalling that they were
going out the next day, he hurriedly tidied up and went upstairs.
Arissa had already gone to bed. She still held the nearly finished novel in her hand, resting it on her
stomach.
Benjamin went over, picked it up, and ced it back on the bedside table.
Arissa woke up and smiled when she saw himing over. “You''re here?”
“Yes,” Benjamin responded, tucking her in morefortably. “Go back to sleep. I''m going to take a
shower.”
“Mmm...” Arissa mumbled, closing her eyes and falling back asleep. After a while, she woke up again,
struggling to stay awake.
She remembered something important. Have the children arrived at Rutaceae Vige?
“Benjamin, have the children called you?”
The sound of water in the bathroom was quite loud, so Benjamin did not hear her. He spent a few
minutes showering, and when he came out, he saw that she was still awake, holding her phone as if
she was about to make a call.
“Who are you calling in the middle of the night?” He walked over andy down next to her.
“I want to call the kids. They should''ve arrived by now, but they haven''t called me...”
Arissa nced at him. I''ll feel more at ease giving them a call.
Benjamin took her phone and smiled. “They''ve already called me. Go to sleep. You can call them back
in the morning!”
“Have they arrived?” Arissa looked at him in surprise. Could it be that the kids didn''t call because they
didn''t want to disrupt my sleep?
“They arrived long ago. Gavin said he texted you but didn''t get a reply, so he called me.” Benjamin
found the text message his son had sent Arissa and showed it to her.
“They arrived long ago. Gavin said he texted you but didn''t get a reply, so he called me.” Benjamin
found the text message his son had sent Arissa and showed it to her.
Gavin texted: Mommy, are you asleep? We''ve arrived.
Arissa chuckled. Gavin is quite clever, knowing to send a text first to see if I''m asleep. If I replied, he
would call me. If not, he wouldn''t disturb me.
She nced at the time stamp on the text message. I haven''t gone to bed at that time. How could I
have missed the sound of the iing message?
“I didn''t even hear the text message alert. I must have been engrossed in my novel!” She was
somewhat annoyed.
Benjamin was amused. He ced her phone back on the bedside table and pulled her into his arms.
“Is it really that interesting?”
“Some parts were quite exciting...” Arissa retorted, a smirk ying on her lips.
Benjamin gently stroked her head and leaned down to kiss her forehead. “Sleep now,” he said. “We''ll
set off after breakfast tomorrow.”
“Okay!” Arissa nodded, yawning as she closed her eyes to sleep.
Knowing that the children had arrived at Rutaceae Vige, she had no worries left and quickly fell
asleep.
Benjamin had been working overtime until thiste hour and was also tired. Holding her, he quickly fell
asleep.
Early the next day, Arissa''s phone was already buzzing non-stop before she even woke up.
“Thay arrivad long ago. Gavin said ha taxtad you but didn''t gat a raply, so ha cad ma.” Banjamin
found tha taxt massaga his son had sant Arissa and showad it to har.

Early tha naxt day, Arissa''s phona was alraady buzzing non-stop bafora sha avan woka up.
She first snagged the phone from Benjamin and quickly answered the call when she saw it was from
the kids. Her voice was clear and crisp, unlike someone who had just woken up.
It seemed she had a good restst night.
“Good morning, Sweetheart,” Arissa said warmly, her voice filled with affection.
“Mommy, are you up? We got up just after five and followed Great-grandaunt to the vegetable garden.
The fields were shrouded in mist. It was so beautiful!”
Jasper''s voice also reached Benjamin''s ears since the volume of Arissa''s phone was not low.

“You''re all up so early. Did you all get a good restst night? Did anyone have trouble sleeping in a new
ce?” Arissa asked with a smile, her eyes sparkling like clear water.
Benjamin was mesmerized as he watched her.
“We all had a good rest and had trouble adjusting to the new beds. We arrived herest night and
started cleaning right away. It was exhausting. After taking a bath, we went to bed and fell asleep
instantly,” Jasper said brightly.
“Sweetheart, could you switch to video mode so I can also see the beautiful scenery there?” Arissa
requested, wanting to get a glimpse of the view.
In truth, she wanted to see the children and the others and take in the beautiful scenery at the same
time.
“All right, Mommy. I''m switching to video now!” Jasper responded before doing so.
