Chapter 1105 Looking For Uncle Benjamin

Benjamin looked up and glanced at Arissa. “I'll stay here. Let me know if you need anything.”

Seeing that he was unwilling to go to the study, Arissa had no choice but to agree. She lay and rested for a while before getting out of bed.

“Where are you going?” Benjamin suddenly looked over and stared at her.

Arissa sat at the edge of the bed and glanced at him. “I'm going to take a walk.”

“You can't!” Benjamin said domineeringly, not allowing her to go.

Arissa was amused. She pouted and acted cute. “I feel fine. Why can't I go and take a walk? It's not like I'll be going out. I'll just be walking around the house. If I lie down any longer, I might become crippled.”

“Did you have to exaggerate it like that?” Benjamin asked as he made his way over.

Arissa stared at him. “What are you doing?”

Benjamin took her jacket and placed it around her shoulders. “Give me a few minutes. I'll accompany you after I'm done.”

Arissa did not want to distract him from his work.

“It's okay. You can go about with your work. I'll be fine on my own.”

Benjamin gently pinched her cheeks as he talked to her softly, “Be good and listen to me.”

Arissa gave up and sighed. “Fine. Go ahead with your work. I'll go to the restroom.”

She stood up and was about to head to the restroom when Benjamin wrapped his arms around her and picked her up.

The corners of Arissa's lips twitched. “Are you treating me like a kid who doesn't know how to walk?”

Benjamin stared into her eyes. “Is it not okay for me to carry you?” Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

A blush crept onto Arissa's cheeks. “It's not that. It's just that you're way too diligent about it!”

He won't even let me take one step by myself. It's not like I can't walk.

Benjamin looked at her adoringly and coaxed her gently, “You can walk however you like and wherever you want when you've fully recovered.”

Arissa's gaze locked onto Benjamin's handsome face. She felt her heart skip a beat. His words had touched her.

“You worry too much. Mr. Bailey said I'm recovering well.”

Benjamin hummed in response but was determined to carry her to the restroom. Arissa had no choice but to bear with her embarrassment. After all, she badly needed to relieve herself.

Benjamin waited for her to finish her business in the restroom before carrying her again and laying her back on the bed.

“That's enough. You can continue with your work. I won't cause you any more trouble.”

Arissa felt guilty as she knew he was swamped with work.

Benjamin gently tapped her nose and said, “No matter what you do, you won't cause me any trouble. Caring for you is my number one priority.”

Arissa flashed him a sweet smile. “Okay!”

Benjamin's eyes darkened. He couldn't help himself as he leaned forward and kissed her cheek.

All of a sudden, they heard a commotion coming from downstairs. It sounded like people were arguing.

His brows furrowed as a hint of anger flashed across his eyes.

“What's going on downstairs?” Arissa looked at Benjamin. She couldn't hear clearly what the people downstairs were arguing about.

“Stay here and rest. I'll go and see what's going on,” Benjamin instructed before he left the room, closing the door behind him.

The people arguing downstairs were Julian and Ethen. Ethen had blocked Julian from going upstairs, which resulted in their argument.

“What's going on?” Benjamin growled as he glared at Julian.

“Mr. Graham! I didn't allow him to head upstairs, so he's making a scene here!” Ethen explained as he approached Benjamin and stood beside the latter.

“Uncle Benjamin, I'm here to look for you!” Julian grunted. He was oblivious to how rude he was to cause a ruckus at someone else's home.

Benjamin's expression turned grim as he walked down the stairs. “Julian, how dare you barge into my home and kick up a fuss?”

Julian met Benjamin's angry eyes, feeling a chill run down his spine when he noticed the stern and vicious look in them.

His arrogance significantly subsided. “Uncle Benjamin, why did you steal our family's business? My father's already in jail, yet you still want to treat me like this. Don't you think you're going overboard? When are you going to let him out?”

Benjamin snickered. “Are you here to interrogate me?”

Julian's expression darkened. The current head of the Graham family was Benjamin, and he had been deliberately oppressing Julian's family. His father was sent to jail by Benjamin. Although Julian was angry, there was nothing he could do about it.
