Chapter 146 Titles At Home
Well, aren’t they quick on their feet?
Benjamin scoffed coldly.
A sense of ruthlessness was well hidden within his stare of the ruins.
How could Arissa not have known when the place Danna kidnapped her to was one of her own family’s properties? From what she said, she probably had no idea that the building belonged to the York family.
“Look into every detail from five years ago. Find out who held Arissa captive, kidnapped the children, and abandoned her in the wasteland. Check every individual involved in this incident and her relationship with the York family. I want to know everything!”
Benjamin’s voice was cold as ice, which sent chills down the spines of everyone around him.
Ethen glanced over at Benjamin. He was shocked by how much Benjamin cared for Arissa.
Will our CEO be getting a wife soon?
Benjamin glared at him and exclaimed, “What are you waiting for!”
“Yes!” Ethan answered hurriedly, then got to work.
Benjamin glanced back and narrowed his eyes at the ruins. His gaze was as sharp as ever.
After Benjamin left that place, he went straight to the apartment. Yet, he did not go upstairs. He merely stayed in the car and stared at Arissa’s home.
If he had gone upstairs, he could have seen some of his kids.
A bodyguard, who was watching from the darkness, immediately headed over and reported, “Mr. Graham, we’ve kept watch this whole time. No one has left the building yet!”
Benjamin’s eyes darkened as he nodded. “Carry on. Send me pictures of anyone exiting the building.”
“Yes, sir!”
The bodyguard glimpsed over at Benjamin and asked, “Mr. Graham, are you not going upstairs?”
“No. Make sure to stay hidden.”
Benjamin was worried that the kids would be startled by his sudden appearance. Therefore, he dispelled all thoughts of visiting them.
Moreover, the children should be sound asleep at the time.
There was also no need to be in such a rush to see them.
He drove back to Yaleview.
With the housekeepers fast asleep, the residence was dead silent.
Benjamin tiptoed up the stairs and straight to the guest room but there was no sign of Arissa.
Then, he headed for Gavin’s bedroom. Yet, the doorknob would not turn. It was locked from the inside.
He shot a quick glare at the doorknob before returning to his bedroom.
In Gavin’s bedroom, Arissa and Gavin were sleeping like babies.
At the crack of dawn the next day, Arissa was surprised to wake up with only one child in her arms.
She only realized she was at Yaleview after coming to her senses.
Gavin was the one by her side.
It might have been the trauma of having her kids taken from her five years ago, but she would panic if she did not see her children the minute she woke up.
Arissa calmed herself down, kissed Gavin, then washed up.
After a change of clothes, she left the room to see Benjamin coming out of his bedroom.
He was in sportswear, and his gaze was as sharp as ever.
Arissa was startled for a second before she quickly greeted him, “Good morning, Mr. Graham!”
“Yeah,” firmly answered Benjamin.
Couldn’t he have at least greeted me back? It’s not like we’re at the company.
“I’m heading down to make Gavin some food!”
Arissa turned to head down the stairs right after notifying Benjamin.
His eye landed on her calves as he followed her.
Her snow-white ankles with a dash of pink beguiled him.
Benjamin’s gaze dimmed.
The feeling of someone eyeing her from behind made it uncomfortable for her to even walk.
She could sense that Benjamin was following closely behind her.
Arissa turned to check but accidentally missed a step instead.
“Ah!”
A large hand reached out to grab her wrist and pulled her upward, thus immediately eradicating all possibilities for her to fall.
Arissa clung to Benjamin’s chest in shock.
“Why would you turn around when you’re going down the stairs?” he asked rhetorically with a hint of reproval in his husky voice.
“Thank you, Mr. Graham,” said Arissa awkwardly.
She lifted her head, only to be entranced by Benjamin’s protruding and alluring Adam’s apple.
Quickly, Arissa moved aside with a rush of warmth growing in her cheeks.
Even though Benjamin was already taller than Arissa, it was more convenient for him to leer over her because he stood a step above her.
He stared intensely at her blushing face. His thin lips curved upward into a sly smirk.
“There’s no need to call me Mr. Graham when we’re at home.”
