Chapter 732 Placed Her Hand On His Chest Giggling, Zachary teased, âMommy, weâre only going to school. Weâll see each other again in the afternoon after school. If you miss us, just give us a call. Weâll answer your call.â
Feeling embarrassed at getting teased, Arissa waved at them. âBye, then!â âBye, Mommy!â
âBye, Ms. York!â The children waved back with a chorus of goodbyes. Grabbing Arissaâs hand, Benjamin said to the kids, âBe good at school. Weâre leaving now.â âBye, Daddy!â
âBye, Mr. Graham!â The six of them also bade farewell to him. Unlike Arissa, Benjamin was unaccustomed to such clingy behavior. Hence, after murmuring an acknowledgment, he nodded at the schoolâs administrators and led Arissa away.
Arissa looked over her shoulder and called out to Robert and the schoolâs administrators, âGoodbye!â
âGoodbye, Mr. Graham and Ms. York!â
Robert and the others had wanted to send them off, but Benjamin tilted his head and said in a low voice, âYou should get back to work. If anything happens to the children, let us know at once.â
âYes, Mr. Graham.â
Robert nodded, then stood together with the schoolâs administrators and watched the couple leave. Nonetheless, Arissa could not stop worrying and turned to gaze in the direction of the classroom.
When she spotted the kids watching them, she waved her hand, motioning for them to go into the classroom. Only then did they file into the classroom one after another.
But even after they had disappeared from sight, Arissa was still unwilling to look away. Casting her a quick look, Benjamin tugged at her hand.
âWhy are you still staring? If you do that, how will the kids be able to focus on their lessons?â
Arissa turned back to look at him. The corners of her lips twitched as she gazed at his impassive expression. âItâs Timâs first day at this school, so whatâs wrong with me worrying about him? Iâm not like you. Youâre not worried at all!â
Benjamin narrowed his eyes and fixed his gaze on her. âHow do you know Iâm not worried?â he asked in a low voice. Arissaâs gaze flicked toward his cold and handsome face. With his sunglasses on, he looked even more imposing.
âI canât tell that youâre worried at all.â
Benjaminâs thin lips curved upward slightly. âWould you like to see it?â
âHow?â Arissa looked confused.
âYou can feel it.â
With that, he grabbed her hand and placed it on his chest. Arissaâs heart lurched when she felt his strong heartbeat, and she quickly tried to withdraw her hand.
However, Benjamin did not let her move away. A devilish smile tugged at his lips as he asked, âDo you feel it?â
The corners of Arissaâs mouth twitched. âNo!â
She suspected he was seducing her, but she had no proof. Benjamin responded with a snort.
Seeing that many people were staring at them, Arissa blushed. As she struggled to pull her hand away to no avail, she regretted not putting on a pair of sunglasses.
âWhat do you think youâre doing? There are many people watching us!â she reminded him.
When Benjamin turned toward her and saw her flushed cheeks, his smile grew wider and even more devilish.
And when he leaned in and whispered into her ear, it was as if he was trying to lure her in. âYouâre the mother of my children. Whatâs there to be worried about?â
His deep, magnetic voice was like a warm and gentle caress to her ear.
Arissa felt as if it were not only her ear that tingled but also her heart.
Her heart skipped a beat, then started racing.
âThe issue isnât about whether Iâm worried or not but about my image!â
Who knows what others will say when they see us like this?
After gazing at her for a while, Benjamin stopped teasing her. Then, he lowered their hands and stuck them into his pocket, tightly interlacing his fingers with hers.

The sight of Benjamin in his sunglasses striding out the school gate, coupled with his natural intimidating aura, was enough to deter anyone from approaching them.
As Arissa followed him closely toward the car, she gritted her teeth and nodded at the parents around them as a polite greeting.
âYou only have to be yourself. Donât bother about what others think.â A voice suddenly rang out from above her head. Puzzled, she glanced upward at Benjamin.
However, all she saw was her reflection in his sunglasses. She could not see his eyes.
