Chapter 1044 His Leather Shoes

As soon as Arissa stood up, Benjamin pressed her down and locked his gaze on her. “What are you getting up for?” he asked.

Arissa blinked, revealing a hint of embarrassment. “I want to go to the bathroom.”

Benjamin put down his fork and leaned forward to pick her up. “Let me carry you there. Take your IV bag with you.”

Arissa held onto his neck with one hand and quickly grabbed her IV bag, which still had half a bag of medication left.

Benjamin carried her to the bathroom and sat her on the toilet seat. That was when he realized that she was not wearing shoes.

He then took off his leather shoes and put them on her feet. “Wear my shoes!”

Arissa lifted her feet, hesitant. Guilt surged within her as Benjamin had to stand around in socks. “It's okay; I don't need them.”

“Be good. The floor is cold,” Benjamin insisted while helping her with the shoes.

Arissa, who was wearing his shoes, looked funny, like a child trying on adult shoes.

She glanced at him and whispered, “Why don't you get my shoes for me?”

She smiled at the thought of wearing a man's shoes for the first time.

“Aren't you in a hurry to use the bathroom?” Benjamin asked.

He helped her with the IV bag before nudging her. “Go ahead and use it.”
