Chapter 461 What A Hassle
Arissa widened her eyes in shock, and her mind went blank when she looked at the handsome face before her eyes.
Benjamin only let go of her when she started to blush uncontrollably.
He then threw another glance at her reddened cheeks. Now, that’s more like her.
The next moment, he held her chin so that she would look at him. “Arissa, I was talking to you! What happened to your ears? Didn’t you hear me?”
Benjamin gritted his teeth in anger.
“W-What did you say to me?” Arissa regained her composure and tried to push him away. However, Benjamin held her so tight that she couldn’t even move a muscle.
The atmosphere surrounding the two seemed a little romantic.
Benjamin leaned forward once more, and Arissa instinctively tried to shy away from him.
However, she was pinned against the wall, and she had nowhere to hide.
Benjamin glared at her and reprimanded, “I said the kid is fine! What are you still so sad about?”
Arissa stared blankly at him because she was astounded by his tone.
“I’m being serious here! What’s with your expression? Since the kid is fine, why do you look so devastated? Don’t you want to find him?” Benjamin was so loud that he was practically shouting at her.
In utter shock, Arissa grabbed Benjamin’s shirt emotionally and asked, “A-Are you serious?”
She was so emotional that her voice was trembling.
Benjamin’s rage immediately dampened when he saw her teary eyes. “Yes, I’m serious. I’ve found him.”
Arissa’s eyes immediately brightened up, and she asked anxiously, “Where is he, then? Did you bring him back?”
“No, I didn’t!” Benjamin pursed his lips.
“Why?” Arissa glared at him. Getting no response from him, she frowned and became skeptical. “Did you say that just to comfort me?”
“Da*n it!” Benjamin grumbled and leaned forward to bite her lips.
In pain, Arissa shoved him aside instantly. She then wiped the corner of her mouth and noticed that she was bleeding. “Are you crazy?”
“I think you’re the one who’s crazy!” Benjamin’s expression turned gloomy. “I told you the kid is fine, and you thought I was just comforting you? Do I need to do that?”
Arissa acknowledged how pissed he was, but she wasn’t annoyed by it at all. Instead, she was elated because of the child. He’s okay, and he’s alive!
“W-Where is he?” Arissa looked at him in anticipation.
Benjamin shot her a glare before he turned around and left. “He’s at the place you were at before!”
The place I was at? Where? Arissa chased after him and questioned, “Tell me where?”
Benjamin turned around and gazed at her stomach. “Didn’t you say you needed to use the restroom?”
Arissa suddenly remembered that she needed to relieve herself. When she saw Benjamin walking away without the intention of revealing more, she went ahead and used the restroom.
In no time, she came out and saw Benjamin eating on the couch. She went to him and sat down without thinking about whether she might anger him. “Benjamin, where is he? Tell me now!”
“Finish your oatmeal porridge first!” Benjamin answered without sparing her a glance. At the same time, he was eating oatmeal porridge as well.
Arissa was stunned momentarily before noticing a bowl of oatmeal porridge on the coffee table.
Just then, the aroma of the oatmeal porridge wafted over to her, and her stomach started rumbling.
She then gazed at the calm and collected man next to her. It seems like he’s not going to tell me anything if I don’t eat!
With that thought in her mind, her heart started racing. Is he worried about me?
“Can’t you just tell me first?” Arissa pouted and grumbled before eating a spoonful of the oatmeal porridge.
Benjamin glanced at her from the corners of his eyes and teased, “What if you faint again when you hear it? You are such a hassle!”
Arissa froze, and she pursed her lips when she heard Benjamin teasing about her being weak. I’ve only fainted because I didn’t sleep well, and I’ve received some bad news. Why would I faint again now when I’m going to hear some good news?
“Just tell me! My appetite will get better if my mood is lifted, no?” Arissa moved closer toward Benjamin and stared at his handsome face. She was eager to know everything about her son. “Has he been well? How did you find him? Why didn’t you bring him back? Is it because he didn’t want to come with you?”
