Chapter 307 Expensive Gift From Darius
“I understand.” Benjamin nodded.
Arissa was very touched when she saw Darius’ attitude.
“Thank you, Old Mr. Graham!”
“There’s no need to thank me. I’m sorry for what you have gone through. In the future, if anyone dares to bully you, just let me know. I’ll back you up. Nobody will dare to do anything bad to you!”
With that, Darius glanced at Benjamin as though he was hinting at something.
Arissa was taken aback.
“Oh, okay.”
It was good for her to hear that assurance from Darius.
Benjamin cast a glance at her.
Kingsley said teasingly, “Mrs. Graham, if Boss bullies you next time, just tell Old Mr. Graham. He will settle the matter for you!”
Arissa laughed awkwardly while Benjamin shot a look at Kingsley.
That sent Kingsley running toward the children who were playing.
With a smile, Darius asked Edwin to bring him something. Very soon, Edwin returned with an exquisite-looking box.
“Here you go, Old Mr. Graham.”
Darius took it and placed it in front of Arissa.
“Issa, this is for you! Take it.”
Something flickered in Benjamin’s eyes, and he looked shocked for a moment.
Arissa stared at Darius and asked, “Old Mr. Graham, this is…”
“This is a little something from me. Please accept it. No matter what, I have to give you a gift!”
Without giving her a chance to turn it down, Darius continued, “Please don’t reject my present.”
Not knowing how to react, Arissa opened the box up and was stunned to see the content.
“This is too valuable.”
Just as she was about to return it to Darius, he stopped her.
“Please keep it. I have lots of these lying around the house. I just simply picked one. What’s the point of leaving it in the house? It’s better for you to wear it.”
Darius then turned to Benjamin and said, “Benjamin, put it on for her. It isn’t good for a girl not to have a decent piece of jewelry.”
Arissa looked at Darius and then at Benjamin.
“It’s fine. It’s inconvenient if I wear it when I’m doing my chores. Old Mr. Graham, I’ll keep it instead!”
The jade bangle looked very expensive, so it would be terrible if it got damaged.
Arissa did not expect Darius to present her with such an expensive gift at their first meeting. It caught her completely by surprise.
Darius snorted and said, “Wear it! If you keep it, dust will settle on it.”
“If Dad wants you to wear it, then put it on.”
Benjamin came forward to take the bangle and put it on her wrist.
Arissa’s heart skipped a beat before constricting in her chest.
Meeting Benjamin’s eyes, she felt that something was amiss.
“I should be getting back now,” said Darius as he stood up.
Arissa immediately stood up as well. “Old Mr. Graham, why don’t you stay for a while longer?”
“Never mind. I don’t want someone to resent me!”
He looked at Benjamin as he said that.
“No one is chasing you away!” Benjamin retorted with a purse of his lips.
Darius’ eyes lit up. “Then, why don’t I stay here?”
Benjamin was rendered speechless.
Arissa found it amusing when she realized Darius was capable of being mischievous as well.
“Oh, I think I better head back. I’m not that dumb or ignorant.”
Darius sighed and called out to the five children, “Sweethearts, I’m going off now. Do you want to come with me?”
“Goodbye, Grandpa!”
The five of them waved goodbye to Darius, but it was obvious they had no intention of going with him to the Old Manor.
The old man felt sad.
“I’ll go back now. Tomorrow, I will come and play with all of you!”
“Okay!”
Together with Benjamin and Arissa, the five kids sent Darius off.
“I’m leaving now!”
Darius looked at Arissa.
She bade him farewell with a smile. “Goodbye, Old Mr. Graham!”
“Bye, Grandpa!” The five children stood next to her and waved goodbye to Darius.
“Goodbye, Sweethearts!”
Likewise, Darius looked at them with affection and waved back.
Benjamin told the chauffeur not to drive too fast before the car drove off.
