Chapter 482 You Cannot Go In Before Me
After feeling an intense warmth surge through her body, Arissa pushed him away and got down of the car.
Benjamin looked at her and raised his brows. A corner of his lips quirked up when he saw how flustered the woman was.
She didn’t even thank me for applying the ointment to her head.
Then, Benjamin got out of the car too. After tidying up his clothes, he caught up with Arissa.
When Arissa arrived at the elevator, she turned around to look at Benjamin.
Benjamin tilted his chin, gesturing for her to enter the elevator. “Get in!”
Arissa pressed her lips and asked, “Which floor?”
“Ninth!” Benjamin reached out for her waist, but Arissa avoided him when she got in.
After pressing the number, she kept looking at the screen atop the door as the elevator ascended.
Earlier, Arissa managed to calm her nerves after Benjamin gave her an earful. But her anxiousness started creeping in again as she would be meeting her son soon.
Benjamin was amused when he saw how nervous she was and how she swallowed the fluid lodged in her throat.
Arissa turned around and shot daggers at him. “Why are you laughing?”
Benjamin lifted his eyes and pinched her cheek. “Why are you so anxious? You’re just meeting your son.”
Arissa opened her mouth but did not know how to respond to his words.
Benjamin gave her a look and said gently, “You’re going to frighten the kid with that look on your face. Just calm down and act normal.”
“Do you remember how you approached Gavin when you first met him? Just do the same with this boy,” Benjamin added.
Arissa bit her lips. She wanted to stay as calm as possible but was stricken by remorse whenever she thought of how much she owed him.
While Gavin grew up under Benjamin’s care, this child had led a difficult life since he was born. It was a miracle that Danna did not torture him to death.
Benjamin stroked her head. “We’re here.”
Arissa took a deep breath and asked Benjamin to lead the way.
“What are you waiting for? Let’s go!” she urged the man who refused to move.
Yet, Benjamin stood still and tidied her hair.
Arissa immediately walked up to the fire cabinet, looked at her reflection on the glass door, and tidied her clothes.
Benjamin waited for her from a distance with his hands in his pockets.
“Okay! I’m ready!” Arissa turned around and noticed Benjamin was staring at her.
She instantly looked away and said, “Please lead the way, Mr. Graham!”
Benjamin chuckled and walked along the corridor.
As she was walking up to him, she looked around the place.
“This hospital looks nice. I wonder if Mdm. Mary feels better now?” Arissa was referring to Mary.
Benjamin glanced at the woman, who started frowning again.
“Stop overthinking. Shaun will update us once he has completed the medical checkup.”
Upon noticing how calm and steady Benjamin was, Arissa mumbled, “Is he not worried at all?”
Suddenly, the man turned back and grabbed her wrist.
Arissa’s eyes widened in shock. The man said, “Pull yourself together, and start behaving like an adult in front of the kids!”
Arissa could only stare at the man’s broad shoulders as she did not know how she should respond to that. She kept mum and did not retaliate.
Soon, the bodyguards noticed Benjamin and Arissa from a distance. Just when the bodyguards were about to greet them, Benjamin immediately stopped them.
Arissa wanted to take a peep at Tim from the window but noticed her other children were in the ward as well.
She turned around and glared at Benjamin in disbelief. “When did the kids arrive?”
Benjamin glanced at her and answered, “Today.”
Arissa’s mouth twitched upon hearing that. Why didn’t he tell me that the kids are here?
She got even more annoyed when she recalled the things she said to her children earlier.
He must have heard everything I said and laughed at me in secret!
She gave Benjamin a murderous look.
Benjamin cleared his throat and said, “Get in!”
Once again, Arissa was overwhelmed with anxiousness. Would the boy like me when he sees me?
Upon noticing the way she fidgeted, Benjamin sighed. “Should I go in first?”
Arissa grabbed his wrist and stopped him. “No! You can’t go in before me!”
That remark rendered Benjamin speechless.
