Chapter 837 Darius And His Monetary Gift
Arissa was still smiling after she hung up the phone. Benjamin turned to look at her tenderly. “What are you smiling at?”
She glanced at him and answered, “Tim took the initiative to call me!” Seeing how happy she was, Benjamin chuckled softly. “Silly woman!” Arissa glared at him. “I’m happy my son called me. What’s wrong with that?”
With a smile, Benjamin nodded and shifted his attention back toward his tablet to continue working. Arissa sized him up. He didn’t mention anything. I guess he didn’t hear what Tim said to me just now.
“Do you want to go work in the ward?” she asked. “That’s not necessary. I can just work here.” With that, Benjamin continued focusing on his work.
In response, Arissa just smiled and looked at him. He’s just cold on the outside and warm on the inside. As she was enjoying the milkshake, she could feel the sweetness in her mouth and in her heart at the same time.
She then held the straw next to his mouth and suggested, “Have a taste!” Benjamin froze for a while and took a sip. “It’s so sweet. You can have it.”
“I like it because it’s sweet! As a matter of fact, this isn’t even that sweet.” Arissa’s voice sounded delightful when she talked; it was music to Benjamin’s ears.
Suddenly, his gaze darkened, and he ended up turning toward her before planting a kiss on her lips.
“Don’t talk.” His voice was hoarse and suggestive.
Indeed, he was losing control of himself when he heard her soft voice.
Arissa instantly felt her cheeks burning.
She then watched as Benjamin continued working on his tablet with his legs crossed and his back leaning against the chair. He looks so elegant and charming when he’s focused.
Before Arissa knew it, she was entranced by the visual before her eyes. He looks so handsome! His eyes, nose, and lips are all so alluring! His side view alone is enough to make someone fall head over heels.
At that moment, she blushed as her heart started racing.
“Ahem!”
All of a sudden, someone coughed, and she immediately snapped back to her senses before turning toward the voice.
The moment she saw Darius smiling back at her, she stood up and yelled, “Old Mr. Graham!”
“Hey!” Darius smiled, scrutinizing her and Benjamin.
Prior to that, when he saw how mesmerized Arissa was when she was staring at Benjamin, he told William to stay quiet so that they could keep watching her from a distance away.
Benjamin lifted his head to throw a glance at his father before shifting his attention back to his work.
Arissa, on the other hand, walked swiftly toward Darius and held his arm. “What brought you here, Old Mr. Graham?”
Darius’ smile faded, and he glanced worriedly at the operating room. “I came to see your grandaunt! I heard she’s having surgery. How long has she been in there?”
“It’s been a while.” Arissa brought Darius to a chair and said, “Have a seat, Old Mr. Graham!”
In response, Darius looked at her and smiled. “Why are you still addressing me that way?”
Arissa froze momentarily before chuckling awkwardly.
Benjamin cast a glance at her and ordered, “Call him Dad!”
She shot the man a look before saying affectionately, “Dad!”
It had been a while since she addressed someone so.
Therefore, she was getting a little emotional.
“Good girl!” Darius curled his lips. It feels great to be called that!
“Why didn’t you guys tell me you guys were registering for your marriage?” Darius asked.
Arissa gave a dry chuckle. “We were in a rush, so we didn’t have time to do so. After getting our marriage certificate, we sent the kids to school before coming to the hospital.”
Darius deliberately snorted and reprimanded Benjamin, “Issa had forgotten about it. What about you? Did you forget as well?”
“Well, now you know, right?” Benjamin swept his gaze over Darius.
Darius then glared at his son. “Well, there’s a difference between hearing it from you and hearing it from Edwin!”
“Old Mr. Graham… Wait. No. Dad, we’re sorry for not telling you ourselves,” Arissa apologized.
Darius frowned. “Don’t speak up for him!”
Arissa was rendered speechless.
“Come, Issa! Take this monetary gift!” Darius smiled and whipped out the monetary gift he had prepared for her.
Benjamin merely swept a glance at them before getting back to work.
“Thank you, Dad!” Arissa received it with both hands happily.
Although she didn’t know how much money was inside the envelope, she was still extremely grateful to receive a monetary gift from an elder.
