Chapter 276 A Light Tap On Her Nose Paying no heed to Dannaâs request, Benjamin simply replied indifferently, âWeâll meet in court.â
The next moment, he hung up the phone.
Astounded, Arissa asked curiously, âWas that Danna?â
Seeing the hint of anxiousness that surfaced on her face, Benjamin reassured her, âNo, itâs the officer. He told me that she requested to see me.â
Arissa nodded without uttering any words.
Furrowing his brows, Benjamin asked, âAre you worried that Iâll go and see her?â
Arissa arched her brow and glanced at him quizzically. âDidnât you reject already her a while ago?â
Itâs obvious that heâs made his stance clear. With that thought in mind, Arissa suddenly felt relieved. She was convinced that it would be almost impossible for Danna to get a sentence reduction as long as Benjamin was reluctant to exercise restraint.
âSince Iâve kept my promise, donât you think you should be nicer to me?â Benjamin asked her abruptly.
Arissa looked at him and chuckled. âHow do you want me to serve you, Graham? Iâm honored to be at your service.â
âMy hand is in pain.â Benjamin grimaced as he glanced at the back of his hand.
She took the hint and moved forward to stroke his arm in order to ease his pain.
âIs the drip flowing too fast? Let me adjust it.â She raised her hand to adjust it to a slower mode and continued to stroke his hand.
In the meantime, Benjamin continued to go through his documents.
As Arissa fastened her gaze on the man unknowingly, she was mesmerized by his devastating good look.
His thick eyebrows, obsidian eyes, high-bridged nose, and thin lips combined to form a face that was eye-catching from all angles. However, others tended to be intimidated by his imposing aura.
Deep down, she gasped. My gosh! Benjamin is just so good-looking. The kids resemble him a lot and have his good looks too!
Apart from that, she admired the manâs long and curly eyelashes. D*mn! How could a man have longer eyelashes than a woman?
Just when Arissa was admiring his profile, Benjamin turned and looked into her eyes. At the sight of his reflection in them, he was in a joyous mood.
âWhat are you looking at?â He raised his hand and tapped on her nose affectionately.
Arissa blushed in an instant, his touch sending a ripple to her heart.
Feeling her face heating up, she complimented, âYou have really long eyelashes!â
Arching his brows, Benjamin teased, âAnd here I thought you would say that Iâm good-looking.â
Arissa looked at him again and nodded sheepishly. âNo doubt, you do have a good look!â
After that, she shifted her gaze away hurriedly and touched his hand. âIs it still painful?â
Benjamin hummed in acknowledgment before turning his focus on the documents again.
Pursing her lips, Arissa could not resist scoffing inwardly. Hmph! I swear his mood changes as fast as the weather!
When she saw the drip finishing soon, she thought of checking the manâs allergic condition. âAre you feeling better?â she asked in great concern.
From what she saw, the redness on his face was gone. Even so, he replied, âI donât know.â
As he was still engaged in his work, Arissa lifted the hem of his top discreetly. She heaved a sigh of relief when she noticed that the redness on his body seemed to be subsiding gradually.
When Benjamin tilted his head and gazed at her, she explained in embarrassment, âI just want to check if youâre getting better.â
âI feel a lot better now,â Benjamin replied briefly and switched to look at the documents again.
Arissa looked at the drip again and noticed it was finishing soon. She wondered if she should go back to prepare the meals first or to leave only after the drip was finished.
Coincidentally, the butler gave her a call, telling her that he would bring lunch for Benjamin.
Arissa conveyed the butlerâs message to Benjamin right away. âEdwin informed me that he would bring you lunch later.â
Benjamin was signing on a document when he uttered placidly, âTell him that thereâs no need to come.â
Arissaâs eyes lit up instantaneously. âDoes that mean we are going back in a while?â
The More the Merrier ï¤Chapter 275 EX-husband Groveling to Me ï¤Chapter 730 Let Victor Shoot For You âYes,â he replied.
Feeling over the moon, Arissa called Edwin back to tell him that they would be back soon.
Flashing her a glance, Benjamin mocked, âYou must be bored stiff here.â
âHehe! Itâs still all right I guess.â Arissa smiled sheepishly.
âOh? How about we stay for another day here then?â Benjamin teased her, his lips curving into a smirk.
