You More Than Anything In The World

Chapter 1246 Coax Her To Sleep

“No, it's fine. I'm sure they'll be here soon,” Arissa replied.

When she realized Benjamin was staring at her, she couldn't help but avert her gaze.

“Why are you looking at me?” she asked shyly.

A glint of mischief flashed across Benjamin's eyes as he curled his lips into a smile.

“Why not? It's been a long while since I feasted my eyes on you.”

Still blushing, Arissa gave the man a coquettish glare.

“Didn't you just see me this morning?”

“That's not enough!” Benjamin grumbled before pinching Arissa's face, eliciting a snicker from her.

With Arissa looking a lot cheerier, Benjamin, too, felt more at ease.

“Would you like some water?”

“Yes, please!”

Immediately after, Benjamin filled Arissa's cup with water and sipped it to check the temperature. “Ah. It's a little hot.”

“In that case, I'll drink it later!” Arissa said before catching a glimpse of the man's shoes.

Huh? Why are Benjamin's shoes dirty? That's odd... He has always been a bit of a clean freak, so how could he not have noticed the mud on his shoes?

“Did you come from the office?”


Benjamin raised his brows as he met Arissa's gaze.

“Yes. What's the matter?”

Oh, dear... There isn't any reason for her to know, though, is there?

Arissa scrutinized Benjamin, still unsure if the latter was lying to her.

The next second, she pointed at his shoes. “How did you get mud on them?”

It didn't rain today, so where could the mud have come from? Did he go somewhere else?

Benjamin chuckled, a glint in his eye. “Oh, this! I accidentally dirtied my shoes while playing golf with a friend. Unfortunately, I was in a rush to return to the office, so I didn't have time to clean them.”

Despite the explanation, Arissa remained skeptical.

Benjamin quickly changed into slippers and instructed one of his bodyguards to send the leather shoes for cleaning.

With that, he decided to change the subject. “Has Shaun come over to give you the injection?”

Arissa shook her head. “No. I haven't seen him all afternoon.”

Benjamin nodded before bringing the glass of water from earlier to her.

“Here you go. You can drink it now.”

Without further ado, Arissa chugged the water down in one gulp. “Oh. I need to use the restroom again.”

“I'll carry you there.”

“Okay!”

Afraid that Benjamin might be worried about her, Arissa waited obediently to be carried.

As always, Benjamin picked her up without breaking a sweat and strode toward the restroom.

“How do you use the restroom when I'm not around?”

For a moment, Arissa didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

“I call the nurse!”

Gosh. Doesn't he know there are bedpans available?

Benjamin nodded and grinned at her. “Good. How obedient of you!”

Speechless, Arissa pinched the man's arm.

“Hey! When have I not been obedient?”

Upon hearing that, Benjamin couldn't help but let out a hearty chortle.
