Chapter 660 Distraction
Benjamin noticed her action, so he retracted his gaze and ate elegantly.
Is he not done eating? Arissa peeked at him and saw him still eating. Her initial sense of embarrassment vanished, and she happily continued filling her stomach.
Benjamin was done after just a few more bites.
When he looked at her, he saw her mouth stuffed with food. Why does she look so cute when she eats?
Arissa felt his intense gaze, so she turned around to glance at him.
The instant their eyes locked, her heart started pounding frantically. She then calmly broke away from his gaze.
After looking away, she could still feel Benjamin staring at her. Inevitably, her heart raced even faster.
The atmosphere turned somewhat sensual all of a sudden.
The next thing she knew, she was choking on her food, and she ended up coughing.
Benjamin got up and patted her back. “Why are you so careless?”
He was frowning, clearly worried about her.
Arissa coughed for a long while before she regained her composure. By then, her cheeks were flushed due to the coughing.
Benjamin poured her a glass of water and gave it to her. “Drink some water.”
Arissa felt a lot better after a few mouthfuls of water.
Benjamin was still staring at her when he noticed her watery eyes. Right then, he changed his mind about scolding her for her carelessness. “Are you feeling better?”
Arissa nodded. “Yes. Much better.”
“Pay attention when you eat!” Benjamin reminded before taking his seat.
Arissa merely glanced at him in response. Wasn’t that all his fault? His stare was so distracting!
When she noticed he was still staring at her, she asked, “Are you done eating?”
“Yes.” Benjamin picked up his fork and served her more food. “Now, eat up!”
Arissa answered softly, “If you’re done eating, go ahead with your own matters. You don’t have to stay here.”
Benjamin’s eyes lit up, and he stared at her devilishly. “Is my presence distracting you?”
Who in the world wants people to stare at them when they eat? Arissa was startled momentarily before she answered, “How are you not distracting me when you keep staring at me?”
Benjamin’s lips curled into a smirk. “If you weren’t looking at me, how would you know I was looking at you?”
Rendered speechless, she could only shoot him a look of disbelief. Is Benjamin joking with me?
She wasn’t used to how he had softened up compared to how cold and distant he was last time.
Benjamin then flicked her head and lifted her chin. “Eat up! When you’re done, I’ll apply some medication for you.”
Arissa was stunned.
“What?” Benjamin uttered in a deep voice and stared at her awkwardly.
“I can do it by myself,” she retorted.
However, Benjamin snorted lightly and remained rooted to his seat.
Arissa had no choice but to continue eating after seeing that he had no intention of leaving.
For the next half an hour, Benjamin kept her company till she was done with dinner.
When Arissa got up to clear the table, Benjamin grabbed her hand and dragged her to the living room. “You don’t have to clean up,” he said.
Arissa felt her heart skip a beat when she saw that towering figure of his. “Thank you, Graham!”
In response, Benjamin merely spared her a glance before turning away.
After bringing her to the living room, he sat her down and went to take the first-aid kit.
He then took out a bottle of disinfectant and ointment from the box.
Arissa’s heart was fluttering as she watched him dipping a cotton swab into the bottle of disinfectant.
After that, Benjamin turned toward her and lifted her chin.
“I’ll do it myself!” Arissa was feeling embarrassed.
“Don’t move!” he demanded before disinfecting her wound gently.
With her head tilted back slightly, Arissa was staring right at that handsome face of his. They were so close to each other that she could feel his breath on her face. Needless to say, the atmosphere was rather sensual.
Indeed, men are most attractive when they’re focused! Besides, he’s so elegant and alluring. Arissa started blushing again, and her heart was pounding.
Benjamin saw how shy she looked with her eyelashes fluttering slightly, and he was tempted to kiss her pink lips.
