Benjamin let out a hearty chortle and let go of her.
“Could you take a look if the kids are done?” Arissa asked. She padded over to the dressing table and started to put
on her makeup.
Benjamin took a seat by the bedside and watched her put on some light makeup.
“It's easy for them to get changed. Don't worry!”

applying her makeup.

“Why do you keep staring at me?” Arissa grumbled.
