Chapter 145 Not Interested
“Are you shy? Mommy will just wash your hair then!”
Arissa rubbed Gavin’s head and relented as she did not want to put her son in a dilemma.
Delighted upon hearing that, the little boy squealed in joy, “Okay!”
Arissa laughed and let her son lay on her thigh. She proceeded to wet Gavin’s hair with a towel and rubbed some shampoo onto his head. As Arissa massaged the little boy’s scalp, foam began to form.
“Mommy is so gentle!” Gavin smiled. “Daddy is too rough…”
Arissa was shocked to hear that. “Daddy always washes your hair for you?”
“Hmm… Sometimes!”
Arissa’s mouth curled upward. It was hard to imagine a man like Benjamin giving his son a bath.
“Are you going to wash your hair later, Mommy? Let me help you!”
Arissa was pleased to hear Gavin’s words.
“Mommy doesn’t want to wash her hair today.”
“I will help Mommy if you want to wash your hair next time.”
Gavin’s face turned slightly reddish.
“Sure!” Arissa agreed with joy.
After washing Gavin’s hair, she dried his hair with a towel and gave him a blow-dry. Then, she let Gavin take his bath by himself.
“Go have your bath, Mommy. I can do it myself!” Gavin raised his head and reassured his mother.
“All right!” Arissa left and closed the door for her son. Then, she took her bath in the guest room.
Edwin was always prepared. Hence, Arissa only realized she did not have any clothes to change into after taking off the set of clothes she was wearing.
She wrapped herself in a towel after having her bath and walked toward the wardrobe. There, Arissa saw plenty of new clothes hung in the wardrobe, and all of them were in her size.
All of these are mine?
Looking at the colorful dresses in the wardrobe, she could not help running her fingers through them while wearing a gleeful expression on her face.
Arissa pulled out a dress and a set of underwear and was about to put them on when the door suddenly sprung open. Instinctively, she quickly wrapped the towel around herself once more.
Arissa was stunned when she saw Benjamin making his way into the room.
“Mr. Graham!”
Unaware that Arissa had just come out of the bath, the man’s eyes darkened when his gaze fell on her slender legs that were exposed.
Arissa quickly closed her legs and hid her embarrassment.
She asked in a loud voice, “What’s the matter?”
Doesn’t he know to always knock before entering someone else’s room?
Benjamin shifted his gaze toward her face and said, “Take care of Gavin tonight. I have something to attend to.”
After a brief pause, Arissa responded, “Okay. I get it!”
Looking at her cautious expression, Benjamin knitted his brows. “You don’t have to be so wary of me. I’m not interested in you.”
What?
Arissa was enraged by his words, but by the time she came back to her senses, the man had already shut the door and left. She had to take a moment to calm herself down before getting dressed.
Wait a second. Why am I angry? There’s no reason for me to be angry at all!
Arissa slapped her cheeks gently before making her way toward her son’s room.
Meanwhile, Gavin was sitting on the bed with his phone, looking as if he was about to call someone.
Arissa walked into the room and locked the door. Then, she approached her son.
“Who are you calling, Gav?”
“Mommy, I want to call my brothers!”
Gavin missed them dearly.
“They might be sleeping already. Let Mommy accompany you while you try to fall asleep, all right?”
“Okay!”
Gavin quickly put down his phone and patted the spot next to him excitedly.
Upon seeing that, Arissa snuggled up in bed with the little boy and gave him a tight hug.
She told Gavin some bedtime stories. Although he had already heard all of the stories before, he was still happy to hear his mother’s soft and gentle voice.
After some time, Gavin fell asleep.
Arissa’s heart melted when she saw the little boy in her arms, who had fallen in deep slumber.
She lowered her head and placed a gentle peck on his forehead. “Sweet dreams, Gav.”
Then, she turned off the light and slept.
Meanwhile, Benjamin had led his people to the abandoned building where Arissa was locked up in previously.
“This building seems to be destroyed not long ago, Mr. Graham.” Looking at the ruins in front of him, Ethen said to Benjamin.
Benjamin glanced at the compound and narrowed his eyes.
“Whose territory is this?” he asked in a stern voice.
This place was intact not long ago, but now it’s destroyed. What are they trying to cover up?
Ethen ran a swift investigation and immediately got the answer to Benjamin’s question.
“It belongs to the York family, and it’s under York Corporation.”
A vicious glare flashed across Benjamin’s eyes.
