Chapter 397 What Is Your Relationship With Bradley
Benjamin did not expect her to agree with him.
Therefore, he smirked and said, “So?”
So what?
Arissa pursed her lips. “Do you have anything else to say? If not, I’m going to bed!”
Benjamin looked at her with a stunned expression. Since he did not say anything, Arissa turned around and left.
At the door, she glanced at him and reminded him, “Remember to take your medicine!”
A glint flashed across Benjamin’s eyes, and he grunted in response.
Arissa returned to the guest room and lay on the bed. She could not calm down for a long time.
A tall and sturdy masculine figure kept appearing in her mind. Furthermore, he had just come out of a bath and was wrapped only in a towel.
Arissa turned in her bed and covered her face with a blanket. After a while, she finally emerged from it with a flushed face.
She suddenly remembered about the child and sat on the bed. Then, she checked her phone.
Bradley had sent her something.
Therefore, Arissa went to get her laptop and turned it on. She opened the email and began focusing on the investigation.
If the child has been registered on the census, the registration date should be close to the child’s birth date…
Arissa narrowed the search to children registered within a few months. It reduced the number of children tremendously.
Then, Arissa kept searching through the records for a long time.
Benjamin came out of his study at one o’clock in the morning and went upstairs. As he was about to return to his bedroom, he noticed the light under Arissa’s door.
He paused his step and went toward her door.
Then, he knocked on the door, but there was no response.
Did she fall asleep and forget to turn off the light?
Benjamin opened the door and saw the bed, but it was empty.
His eyes flickered.
Then, he glanced around and noticed Arissa sitting at the coffee table. She was busy working before her laptop.
Thus, he went to her and asked, “What are you doing? Why aren’t you in bed?”
Arissa jumped at the sudden voice.
She glared at Benjamin and complained, “You scared me!”
Is he a ghost? How did he appear without making a noise?
Benjamin raised his eyebrows and explained, “I knocked just now!”
“Really?” Arissa looked at him with a confused expression. She did not hear anything just now.
Benjamin narrowed his eyes when he saw children’s registration records on her computer screen. “Did you find these?”
Arissa looked at the screen. “Bradley found them. I’m sorting through the data. Many of these children are now in kindergarten, so we should be able to find their photos in the kindergartens’ records. Then, we should be able to find the child soon.”
Suddenly, Benjamin became gloomy, causing the atmosphere in the room to turn tense.
Arissa could sense the sudden change in his mood and turned to him. However, her heart skipped when she saw his handsome but stern expression.
“What’s wrong?” she asked.
Benjamin had an intimidating gaze.
His eyes were cold and contained a hint of anger.
“What is your relationship with Bradley?” Benjamin felt indignant when he remembered Bradley bringing her to the prison that morning.
Arissa was stunned before answering, “Isn’t it obvious? He called me ‘Boss,’ so I treated him as a younger brother!”
Benjamin frowned and remained unhappy.
They seem close!
Benjamin’s expression darkened at that thought.
Arissa could not understand what was wrong with him.
She looked away and continued with her investigation.
Suddenly, Benjamin sat beside her and took her laptop from her.
Arissa was stunned.
“Go to sleep. I will search for the child!” Benjamin sent out Gavin’s photo and used software to scan the data.
Arissa was dazzled by his skills.
Benjamin glared at Arissa when he noticed she still had not gone to bed. “You should go to sleep now!”
Arissa pursed her lips and said, “Shouldn’t you sleep too?”
Benjamin’s eyes flashed, and he leaned closer to her.
He gave an ambiguous smirk. “Do you want me to accompany you?”
Arissa felt his hot breath against her skin and began to blush.
