You More Than Anything In The World

Benjamin walked the officers out of the room. Before returning to the room, he ordered the bodyguard, “Please see them off, Peter.”

Arissa saw him entering the ward and said, “You should head to work. I can stay at the hospital alone.”

She felt her affairs had burdened Benjamin lately, causing delays in his work.

“It's fine. I'll go in the afternoon.” Benjamin wanted to wait for the results of her check-up. Otherwise, he would be restless.

Half an hour later, Shaun came to notify Arissa of a screening. He brought a wheelchair along with him to make it easier for her to travel.

“I'll carry you, Honey!” Benjamin thought it would be uncomfortable to use the wheelchair, so he picked up Arissa, carrying her in his arms.

Shaun chuckled at the sight and quickly followed after them.

Embarrassed, Arissa lowered her head and protested quietly, “The examination room is quite far from here.”

“You're light as a feather,” Benjamin reassured her, dismissing her worries.

Shaun couldn't help but burst out laughing. “Arissa, it's obvious Benjamin wants to flaunt his strength. Let him be. He isn't afraid of affecting his image, so why would you? Just let him carry you.”

“I'm carrying my wife. Why would it affect my image? Those who don't should be the ones whose image should be affected!”

Benjamin turned around, glared at Shaun, and reprimanded, “Stop following behind us. Go ahead and make the arrangements. Don't make us wait for you!”

In response, Shaun scratched his nose awkwardly and felt slightly aggrieved. Then, he hurried to the examination room.

Seeing that, Arissa chuckled.

Benjamin's lips curled slightly as he gazed at her beautiful face.

“Why are you smiling?”

“All of them are scared of you!” Arissa's eyes glinted as she smiled while looking at his chiseled features.

Now, he appeared more approachable and wouldn't put a grim face before her.

Benjamin scoffed, “They are only pretending to be scared. Lately, they are even teasing me!”

Chuckling, Arissa said softly, “That's fine, as long as it's nothing serious!”

“Why are you acting so shy then?” Benjamin shot her a teasing gaze and asked.

“I did not!” Arissa denied while staring at his shirt buttons.

Benjamin tittered at her reaction.

Then, Arissa raised her head to shoot him a glare. “Why are you laughing? You don't believe me?”

Quirking a brow, Benjamin lowered his gaze and saw her slightly displeased. As he was afraid that she would be angry, he quickly comforted her, “I do. I just smiled subconsciously!”

“Hmph! Is that so? I don't see you doing that normally. Clearly, you are laughing at me!” Arissa turned her head away.

“No, I'm not laughing at you. I'll smile more often from now on. Okay?”

Benjamin tried to appease her as he regretted teasing her.

It was hard to appease her before, and it got even harder to coax her out of her sour mood now that she was pregnant.

Arissa merely pursed her lips while ignoring him.
