Chapter 248 Should I Feed You
“Eat up.” Arissa paused. “Ah! I almost forgot…”
She suddenly remembered that the kids were still at school and took out her phone to call Gavin.
Benjamin knitted his brow after seeing that Arissa ignored him after putting down the soup to make a phone call instead.
“Who are you calling?”
“I’m calling Gavin. The kids are still at school, so I want to go fetch them, Mr. Graham,” Arissa answered after she turned her head.
“There’s no need for that. I’ve already asked someone to go fetch them home,” Benjamin’s eyes glistened when he spoke.
“When was that?” Arissa was astonished.
“Do you think you were the only one who remembered that?” Benjamin sneered.
Arissa pursed her lips. Do you have to be so angry?
That said, she was at ease after knowing that the kids were home.
Right then, Gavin picked up the phone.
“Mommy!”
Hearing her son’s tiny voice, Arissa smiled.
“Hi, Sweetheart. Tell me, are you guys home now or at school?”
Benjamin narrowed his eyes when he heard that. Is she doubting me?
“We’re at home, Mommy,” Gavin sounded a little unconfident, but Arissa did not notice.
“Oh, you’re all at home. Then, if you guys are hungry, ask the butler to cook something and eat first. I’m not sure when I’ll be going back, so eat your dinner earlier.” Arissa told him.
The little guy nodded his head at the other end of the line and replied, “Okay. I know, Mommy. Don’t worry about us. We ate quite a bit not long ago.”
“Great!” Arissa exclaimed before saying goodbye and ending the call.
She figured she should not take too long on the phone since Benjamin was staring right at her.
Meanwhile, a sense of jealousy came welling up from Benjamin when he saw how endearing Arissa’s smile was.
“Why aren’t you eating, Mr. Graham?”
Arissa noticed that he did not even touch his food.
“How can I eat like this?” Benjamin stared at her like she was the devil herself.
Then, he lifted his left arm with the IV drip still attached to it to guilt Arissa.
“You have your other arm, right?” Arissa was perplexed.
“I am not used to it!” Benjamin complained.
It was then that Arissa remembered that Benjamin was left-handed, so she asked softly, “Should I feed you instead?”
She looked at Benjamin while he pridefully puckered his lips.
Seeing that he did not refuse, Arissa proceeded to sit down beside the bed, picked up the bowl, took a spoonful of soup, and blew on it before placing it at Benjamin’s mouth.
“Be careful. It’s hot,” she warned.
Benjamin cast a glance at Arissa and emptied the spoon.
At that moment, Ethen came in. He was all excited and wanted to report that the company had accepted Benjamin’s condition but was stunned to see Arissa feeding Benjamin.
Oh, dear. Mr. Graham has actually asked Ms. York to feed him?
“What is it?” Benjamin shot a look at Ethen with his piercing gaze.
“They’ve accepted your condition, Mr. Graham,” Ethen immediately reported.
“Okay.” Benjamin did not show any reaction since he had already expected it.
Ethen was very impressed. Mr. Graham is still the best when it comes to negotiation. He has them around his little finger. No one could ever take advantage of him.
Then, he cast a glance at Arissa.
“Is there something else?” Benjamin looked at him.
In an instant, Ethen caught his drift and smiled, “No, Mr. Graham. Rest well. I’ll take my leave.”
“Send the documents that need signing here,” Benjamin ordered.
“Yes, Mr. Graham,” Ethen said and left.
He understood that Benjamin wanted to spend some alone time with Arissa.
That said, Ethen only went back to the company after buying the daily essentials for Benjamin’s stay and asked the bodyguards to send them to the room.
In the meantime, Arissa continued to feed Benjamin while he stared at her obedient look.
After eating some food, his mood seemed to be lifted.
“Did you only get soup?”
“Of course. Your body is not well, so oily food is out of the question. Is the soup to your liking?”
Arissa fed Benjamin another spoonful.
“It’s alright.”
Benjamin was particularly picky when it came to food, but since he was starving and there was no kitchen in this place, it was good enough.
