Chapter 135 Interested In You Shaun was soon sent away by the butler.
Hence, only Arissa and Benjamin were left in the living room.
During the ensuing silence, she gazed at him contemplatively.
When she met his gaze, her heart skipped a beat.
âDoes it still hurt?â he asked, glancing at her arm.
After he looked at the bruise, his face fell.
âItâs better now,â she muttered lowly, quickly averting her eyes as her heart raced.
Without saying a word, he got up and headed toward the kitchen.
Arissa looked at him curiously, wondering what he was going to do.
After a while, Benjamin came back to her with something in his hand.
Upon seeing that he was coming back to her, she awkwardly averted her gaze away from him.
Feeling something cold on her arm all of a sudden, she turned around and looked at him in bewilderment.
âPut some ice on your arm. Youâll feel better,â Benjamin said softly.
Looking at his exquisite facial features, she could not help but find him stunning.
âThank you. Let me do it myself.â
Arissa tried to take the ice pack from Benjamin, but she was stopped by him.
âDonât move!â He shot a look at her.
She was once again rendered speechless.
Does he have to be so serious?
Sneaking a glance at his face, she pursed her lips and kept silent.
As she looked to the ground, she seemed to be lost in thought.
Noticing her silence, Benjamin raised his eyebrows and said, âDonât worry. You can stay here for now.â
She looked up at him and asked, âWouldnât it be inappropriate for me to stay at your place?â
Iâve just worked for a few days, and now I am moving into my bossâ house? I canât imagine the consequences if the media finds out about this.
âWhy would it be inappropriate?â He held her gaze firmly.
Arissa blinked in response, not saying a word.
âAre you worried that Iâm interested in you?â Benjamin sneered.
The corner of her mouth twitched at his words. âIâm worried that people might misunderstand us. It might ruin your reputation.â
Besides, it will also bring me endless troubles.
When she felt that his gaze was still fixed on her, her heart started to race again.
âDonât worry. Nobody will know as long as you keep your mouth shut,â Benjamin answered flatly.
She wasnât pleased to hear that, as she thought that Benjamin was implying that she was a gossiper.
âIâm not a gossiper!â Arissa raised her voice.
He merely gave her a quick glance in response and continued to ice her bruise.
Ten minutes later, he asked Edwin to bring her to the guest room.
With that, she was led to the guest room which was located near Benjaminâs bedroom.
âMs. York, if you need anything else, let me know.â
Arissa scanned the lavishly decorated room and smiled. âSure. Iâll let you know if I need anything.â
Edwin nodded with a smile and informed her of the toiletries in the bathroom before going back downstairs to prepare some food.
The More the Merrier ï¤Chapter 134 EX-husband Groveling to Me ï¤Chapter 730 Let Victor Shoot For You After Arissa walked around the room for a while, she lay on the bed to relax.
The kids are at home. Did Benjaminâs people manage to find them? Will they bring the kids here?
Just when she wanted to make a call, she heard the sound of a carâs engine coming from downstairs.
Then, she heard a child calling for her.
Unsure, Arissa listened carefully.
âMommy!â
It was Gavinâs voice.
Feeling excited, she desperately wanted to see her son.
Without hesitation, she opened the door and rushed toward the voice.
Currently, Gavin was talking with Benjamin at the bottom of the stairs. She let out a sigh of relief when she realized that her other children were not brought here.
âSweetheart, youâre back?â Arissa blurted.
When Gavin saw her standing at the second floor, he couldnât help but smile.
âMommy!â Gavin called, rushing toward her.
He was currently wearing school uniforms and carrying his bag.
