Chapter 257 Help Him Shower
Benjamin picked up his phone and held it to his ear.
“Hello?”
His deep, calm voice betrayed nothing of his current situation.
Arissa glanced at him and sat aside.
He glanced back at her before saying, “Yeah, I am caught up with something. Is Dad around?”
The butler immediately passed the phone to Darius.
“Where have you been, little punk? You didn’t pick up my calls,” Darius’ voice sounded really strict.
Benjamin’s eyes glinted and he replied, “I was in a meeting and didn’t notice your call.”
Arissa continued to look at him.
“I wanted to ask you to bring Gavin’s mom back for dinner today, but you didn’t pick up,” Darius grumbled. “Bring her back tomorrow, alright?”
Benjamin frowned. He didn’t know if he would recover by tomorrow.
It wasn’t exactly troublesome to do anything, but he still felt uncomfortable seeing anyone in his current situation.
“I’ll let you know again tomorrow. I might still be busy.”
“Are you actually so busy that you can’t even come home for just one simple meal? Do you think you’re the president or something? How long has it been since you came back to eat with us? It’s starting to look like you don’t even want to bring her home.”
Darius’ nagging was giving Benjamin a headache and he massaged his brow with a sigh.
“I’ll bring her back once I have time.”
Darius just scoffed. “Since you’re so busy, then I’ll take care of Gavin and the others until you’re finally free enough to spend some time with them.”
After that, he hung up angrily.
Benjamin listened to the annoying beeps and tossed his phone aside.
After that, he stood up.
When Arissa saw him starting to stand up, she immediately rushed over to help him.
“Where are you going?”
Benjamin’s handsome face was extremely close to hers and she backed away slightly.
He glanced at her and replied, “I need to take a shower.”
The sticky ointment all over his body made him feel extremely uncomfortable.
Arissa frowned. “You haven’t completely recovered yet. I don’t think you should take a shower for now.”
“What does my allergy have to do with taking a shower?” Benjamin side-eyed her.
Arissa was about to speak but hesitated. He shouldn’t be allowed to shower… right?
“I’ll feel much better once I take a shower,” Benjamin said and walked toward the bathroom.
Arissa couldn’t do anything except to let him go.
“What are you waiting for? Come here.”
He suddenly turned to look back at her.
In shock, she replied, “Why?”
“I can’t reach some places because my arm hurts. You have to help me,” he said in a serious tone.
You are going to help me.
Arissa blushed and glared at the man in front of her in disbelief before pointing at herself. “You want me to help you shower?”
Benjamin scoffed. “See? You can’t even help me out with such a small request.”
Arissa’s mouth twitched. How is this a small request?
“You only got a jab. How much could your arm hurt?” she rebutted.
She still couldn’t believe it. How does he dare to ask her for something so embarrassing? Does he have no shame?
His expression darkened and he said, “You can leave.”
Arissa gritted her teeth and finally dragged her feet over after a long bout of internal battles.
She couldn’t leave before he was completely recovered.
Besides, she had technically agreed to help him.
It’s just a shower, right? I’ll just pretend Ithat ‘m giving my son a bath!
Benjamin smirked as she walked toward him and said, “I thought you didn’t want to do it.”
Arissa looked at him in disdain before pulling him over by the collar and unbuttoning his shirt.
“Lift your arms.”
Benjamin followed suit and Arissa began to take off his shirt and his belt.
He looked at her as she bent down to undo his belt and he felt her warm breath against his stomach.
Benjamin’s gaze darkened and his mouth felt dry.
Arissa finally undid his belt and unbuttoned his pants.
“Be careful!” he said, his voice slightly raspy.
“I know!” Arissa said as she blushed while slowly inching his pants down.
As long as she didn’t feel awkward, everything would be fine.
