Chapter 704 Work Hard To Win Benjamin Back
Darius stared at her after hearing that. “Issa, do you really mean that?” Arissa nodded when she saw how upset he was. “Yeah!”
Darius’ eyes lit up with excitement. “You don’t find Benjamin dissatisfactory?” Arissa shook her head. “Nope!” Darius was so happy that he quickly wiped his tears as he continued, “Do you like him, then?”
Arissa blushed a little from embarrassment. “Well, I don’t hate him.”
Darius let out a heavy sigh. “So, you don’t like him, then.”
Realizing that he was about to start crying again, Arissa quickly said, “I do! I do like him!”
Darius, the two butlers, and the six kids all stared at her in surprise.
“Mommy, you like Mr. Graham?” Jesse asked.
Arissa’s face burned bright red from embarrassment when she heard that.
“Like I said, I don’t hate him.”
Gavin narrowed his eyes and asked with a snicker, “Does Daddy like you too, Mommy?”
Arissa felt rather speechless when she saw him staring at her lips. “You should go ask your daddy that.”
Benjamin got mad at me just now. I wonder if he actually likes me…
Darius chuckled in amusement when he saw her acting like a young girl that had fallen in love.
“Come on, William. We’re going home.”
Darius didn’t want to stick around for too long as he felt a little awkward after crying in front of them.
“All right. Please slow down, Old Mr. Graham!”
William resisted the urge to laugh as he stepped forward to hold Darius steady.
“I’ll get going now, Issa,” Darius said.
Arissa nodded. “I’ll walk you to the door.”
“No need. I know my way out.”
Darius waved at her and turned toward Mary as he continued, “Take care, Mdm. Mary. We’ll drop by for a chat some other time.”
“I will. See you soon,” Mary replied with a smile.
Darius nodded and asked the six kids, “Would you kids like to stay over at my place?”
Gavin was the first to shake his head. “No.”
The other five followed in his lead and shook their heads as well.
“Make sure you kids behave yourselves here, okay? Listen to your mommy, and don’t cause Mdm. Mary any trouble,” Darius said with a sigh.
“Got it, Grandpa. We’ll behave ourselves, so you can head on home now,” Gavin reassured him.
Darius nodded and shot them a reluctant glance before leaving the ward.
Arissa followed him out the door and walked him to the elevator.
“Make sure to rest well when you get home, Old Mr. Graham.”
“I will! You should head back and rest too,” Darius replied with a sigh.
Arissa glanced at him worriedly. “Are you feeling unwell, Old Mr. Graham?”
“I’m fine. Just a little depressed, is all. You shouldn’t overwork yourself, Issa. Benjamin has an office here, so you can use it to get some rest. Edwin will take you there.”
“Don’t worry, Old Mr. Graham. I’ll work hard to win Benjamin back,” Arissa reassured him with a nod.
Both Darius and William smiled upon hearing that.
“I’m glad to hear that. Keep up the good work, Issa! I know that dense idiot isn’t good at being romantic, but I can tell he cares deeply about you. Otherwise, he would’ve objected when you promised to marry him yesterday.”
“Got it,” Arissa replied with a smile.
She then reminded William to take good care of Darius.
“Don’t worry, Mrs. Graham. I’ll be sure to take good care of Old Mr. Graham. I assure you, he isn’t feeling unwell or anything. He was simply a little depressed, that’s all. You should head back and keep Mdm. Mary company. I’m sure she’s starting to miss you already,” William said while helping Darius into the elevator.
Arissa waited until they were out of sight before heading back to the ward.
