Chapter 841 The Kids Have Different Birthdays

“It’s the kids’ birthday.” Benjamin glanced at her. Arissa keyed in the numbers, but the password was incorrect. She tried again with their complete birth date, including the year, but she still couldn’t unlock his phone.

“Eh? It’s still wrong!” She frowned. “Did you remember the wrong date?”

Benjamin took his phone and keyed in the password, and his phone was unlocked. Arissa was shocked. “It’s a day apart!” The date he keyed in was a day before the one she keyed in earlier. Benjamin looked confused. “Why is it different?”

Arissa blinked, feeling a little puzzled. “Did Danna tell you the wrong date?”

Benjamin thought that was possible too. Suddenly, Arissa slapped her thighs as she remembered something.

“I remember now! I gave birth at midnight, so Gavin and Tim were born before midnight, and Zachary, Oliver, Jasper, and Jesse were born after midnight!”

Though she was in a daze back then, she managed to check the clock and remember the time. Benjamin’s eyebrows twitched as he asked, “The kids have different birthdays?”

She smiled. “Yeah. Seems so.” Benjamin’s thin lips curled up slightly. She took his phone from him and said, “You should get back to work. I’ll do it.”

After she found the photo and saved it on her phone, she set it as her wallpaper. Meanwhile, she set the kids’ group photo as the screensaver.

Seeing that, she smiled in response. “Set it up for me, too,” he said, leaning over to look at her screensaver. She grinned and browsed through his photo album. There weren’t many photos on his phone.

The only ones on his phone were a few family photos of her and the kids and a few pictures of Gavin’s everyday life. Besides those, there were also a few photos of Gavin when he was tiny. Not a year was missed, so Arissa could clearly see Gavin’s growth.

She enjoyed looking at the photos. After some time of browsing through the photos, she finally set Benjamin’s screensaver. Suddenly, Kingsley called. She hurriedly handed the phone over to Benjamin. “It’s Mr. Watts!”

“Just reject it,” he replied without even looking at his phone. Amused by his reaction, Arissa said, “Maybe it’s something important?”

He glanced at her in response and answered the call. After that, he walked out of the ward to talk to Kingsley. Kingsley’s voice traveled from the other end of the line almost immediately. “Benjamin, you’re married now? That’s so sudden! Congratulations!”

Benjamin merely responded, “Yeah. Anything else?”

“Seriously? Is that really how you react? This is important! I couldn’t believe it when I heard it from Shaun earlier!”

Kingsley still hadn’t recovered from the shock. Benjamin raised his brows. “What’s unbelievable about that? We’ve already gotten our marriage certificate.”

“Whoa! Look at you, Benjamin! You’re really fast! Why didn’t you announce it last night when we were at your place? Are you trying to keep your marriage a secret?” Kingsley teased.

“We only decided it late at night. I’ll hang up now if there’s nothing else,” Benjamin replied and was about to hang up.

“Come on, man. You just got married today! Shouldn’t you hold a banquet and invite us for a meal? I’ll let everyone know!”

Benjamin thought about it and agreed. “Sure. I’ll leave it to you to invite them. Let’s eat at night. I’m not free during lunch.” Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

“Okay!” Kingsley replied immediately. No problem. I have all the time in the world.

Suddenly, he asked, “Oh right. I heard Mdm. Mary had an operation. Is she feeling better?”

Benjamin responded, “She’s still unconscious. I’m busy, so I’ll hang up now.”

“Okay. Bye!”

Kingsley chuckled, seemingly in a good mood.

Benjamin walked back into the ward with his phone in his hand and saw that Arissa was tidying up the place. “Come sit with me.”

She glanced at him. “I’m almost done tidying.”

He placed his phone at the side and said, “Here. You can look at the photos if you want later. I’ll continue with my work now.”

“Okay,” she responded while smiling.

Since Mary still hadn’t woken up yet, and Arissa had nothing to do, the latter decided to tidy things up a little.
