Chapter 588 Ignore That Fellow
“Arissa, don’t tell me you’ve been taking care of him for the entire afternoon?”
Arissa was taken aback. “Nope.”
“But I saw everything just now. You two… Haha… You guys should pay more attention to the location in the future. Luckily, Gavin and the others are still taking their nap. Otherwise, it won’t do them good if they see you two getting intimate. After all, they’re still young…”
Whoosh!
Just then, something flew past Kingsley’s eyes. It was so aggressive a strong gust of wind brushed across his face, instantly putting him in utter shock.
And with a loud clang, Benjamin’s lighter fell on the floor not far behind Kingsley.
“Haha! I’m just kidding, Benjamin!” The latter chickened out.
A sharp glint crept up Benjamin’s eyes as he warned, “I’ll throw you down if you spout nonsense again!”
At once, Kingsley pressed his lips and said nothing more.
Arissa could not help but peer at Benjamin, only to see a horrifyingly sullen face on him.
If not that he deliberately tries to tease me, would people run into it? Instead of reflecting on his actions, he’s blaming them now.
“Hurry up and eat!” she urged.
Benjamin brushed his gaze across Arissa’s peaceful-looking face as he tried to control his emotions. Then, he lowered his head to continue eating his oatmeal porridge.
On the other hand, Kingsley continued snacking the apple by the side quietly.
The sound of his bites was exceptionally crisp and loud in the room.
Benjamin lifted his eyes and glowered at him in dissatisfaction.
Catching sight of that, Kingsley almost choked and stood up in fright. “I’ll go and check if Sweethearts are awake.”
After leaving that sentence, he slipped out of the room. It’s better to go and look for the children to play with them.
Arissa was looking at Kingsley when she felt another pair of eyes fixated on her intently. She averted her gazes and cast him a puzzled look.
“What is it?”
“Ignore that fellow.” Benjamin pursed his lips and uttered.
Arissa laughed. “Why?”
The man’s handsome face darkened. “Is there a need to question when I merely ask you not to be bothered about someone else?”
Arissa could not find words to refute.
After she finished feeding him one bowl of oatmeal porridge, she scooped another bowl.
“I’m not eating anymore.” Benjamin furrowed his brows.
Arissa spared him an odd look. “You’ve only had one bowl. Eat another one.”
Sensing that she was slightly displeased, the man decided to compromise.
“Then just one more.”
“Okay!”
She almost wanted to burst out laughing. How can this man behave like a kid at times?
“Don’t eat too full for now since your stomach hasn’t completely recovered yet. Finish these two bowls for now, and eat again if you’re hungry later.”
Watching her small mouth occasionally parting as she spoke, the man directed his blazing gaze longingly at her.
Moreover, the scent from Arissa’s body was igniting the desires within him from time to time.
Benjamin’s Adam’s apple uncontrollably bobbed up and down. It was an indescribably tantalizing and enthralling sight.
When Arissa took notice of that, she stole a few extra glances at it. He looks so good.
Right then, Benjamin’s gaze deepened. Does this woman know her bright eyes are especially enchanting?
He reached out his chiseled and slender fingers to touch her soft and supple cheeks.
Arissa felt her heart skip a beat. Her cheeks turned crimson red as she met the man’s passionate gaze.
She avoided his stare and compelled, “Finish it. I still have to head over to check on Mary to see if she’s awake.”
Benjamin’s voice was a little raspy, and it sounded rather alluring.
“The caretaker is around. Why are you in such a hurry?”
Arissa instinctively sat further away. “The caretaker might be good at taking care of her, but how can she compare to me?”
Essentially, a caretaker was hired to do their job. Arissa reckoned there was no way they would be as thoughtful and careful as compared to her.
“If that’s so, I’ll get Ethen to find another one!”
Arissa stood in stunned silence. “But I didn’t say the current one isn’t good!”
“I’ll find a new one!” Benjamin was firm with his decision and called out to Ethen.
The latter hurried in with his head lowered, not daring to look at Benjamin in his eyes as he was still awkward about how he had interrupted them earlier.
“Mr. Graham!”
Benjamin cast a placid glance at him. “Find a new caretaker who can take better care of people.”
Ethen was baffled for a second but quickly obliged. “Got it!”
Did the current caretaker not do a good job right now?
“Find someone from Dellmoor,” added Benjamin.
He believed there would be easier to find a larger pool of professional talents in a smaller location.
“I’ll notify them right away!”
Since Benjamin had no other instructions for him, Ethen headed out to make the necessary arrangements.
There were private hospitals in Dellmoor, and getting the director to look for a good caretaker would not be too much of an issue.
