You More than Anything in the World (Arissa)

Chapter 482

After feeling an intense warmth surge through her body, Arissa pushed him away and got down of the car.

Benjamin looked at her and raised his brows. A corner of his lips quirked up when he saw how flustered the woman was.

She didn't even thank me for applying the ointment to her head.

Then, Benjamin got out of the car too. After tidying up his clothes, he caught up with Arissa.

When Arissa arrived at the elevator, she turned around to look at Benjamin.

Benjamin tilted his chin, gesturing for her to enter the elevator. “Get in!”

Arissa pressed her lips and asked, “Which floor?”

“Ninth!” Benjamin reached out for her waist, but Arissa avoided him when she got in.

After pressing the number, she kept looking at the screen atop the door as the elevator ascended.

Earlier, Arissa managed to calm her nerves after Benjamin gave her an earful. But her anxiousness started creeping in again as she would be meeting her son soon.

Benjamin was amused when he saw how nervous she was and how she swallowed the fluid lodged in her throat.

Arissa turned around and shot daggers at him. “Why are you laughing?”

Benjamin lifted his eyes and pinched her cheek. “Why are you so anxious? You're just meeting your son.”

Arissa opened her mouth but did not know how to respond to his words.

Benjamin gave her a look and said gently, “You're going to frighten the kid with that look on your face. Just calm down and act normal.”

“Do you remember how you approached Gavin when you first met him? Just do the same with this boy,” Benjamin added.

Arissa bit her lips. She wanted to stay as calm as possible but was stricken by remorse whenever she thought of how much she owed him.

While Gavin grew up under Benjamin's care, this child had led a difficult life since he was born. It was a miracle that Danna did not torture him to death.

Benjamin stroked her head. “We're here.”

Arissa took a deep breath and asked Benjamin to lead the way.

“What are you waiting for? Let's go!” she urged the man who refused to move.

Yet, Benjamin stood still and tidied her hair.

Arissa immediately walked up to the fire cabinet, looked at her reflection on the glass door, and tidied her clothes.

Benjamin waited for her from a distance with his hands in his pockets.

“Okay! I'm ready!” Arissa turned around and noticed Benjamin was staring at her.

She instantly looked away and said, “Please lead the way, Mr. Graham!”

Benjamin chuckled and walked along the corridor.

As she was walking up to him, she looked around the place.

“This hospital looks nice. I wonder if Mdm. Mary feels better now?” Arissa was referring to Mary.

Benjamin glanced at the woman, who started frowning again.

“Stop overthinking. Shaun will update us once he has completed the medical checkup.”

Upon noticing how calm and steady Benjamin was, Arissa mumbled, “Is he not worried at all?”

Suddenly, the man turned back and grabbed her wrist.

Arissa's eyes widened in shock. The man said, “Pull yourself together, and start behaving like an adult in front of the kids!”
