Chapter 276 A Light Tap On Her Nose
Paying no heed to Danna’s request, Benjamin simply replied indifferently, “We’ll meet in court.”
The next moment, he hung up the phone.
Astounded, Arissa asked curiously, “Was that Danna?”
Seeing the hint of anxiousness that surfaced on her face, Benjamin reassured her, “No, it’s the officer.
He told me that she requested to see me.”
Arissa nodded without uttering any words.
Furrowing his brows, Benjamin asked, “Are you worried that I’ll go and see her?”
Arissa arched her brow and glanced at him quizzically. “Didn’t you reject already her a while ago?”
It’s obvious that he’s made his stance clear. With that thought in mind, Arissa suddenly felt relieved.
She was convinced that it would be almost impossible for Danna to get a sentence reduction as long as

“Since I’ve kept my promise, don’t you think you should be nicer to me?” Benjamin asked her abruptly.
Arissa looked at him and chuckled. “How do you want me to serve you, Graham? I’m honored to be at
your service.”
“My hand is in pain.” Benjamin grimaced as he glanced at the back of his hand.
She took the hint and moved forward to stroke his arm in order to ease his pain.
“Is the drip flowing too fast? Let me adjust it.” She raised her hand to adjust it to a slower mode and
continued to stroke his hand.
In the meantime, Benjamin continued to go through his documents.
As Arissa fastened her gaze on the man unknowingly, she was mesmerized by his devastating good
look.
His thick eyebrows, obsidian eyes, high-bridged nose, and thin lips combined to form a face that was
eye-catching from all angles. However, others tended to be intimidated by his imposing aura.
Deep down, she gasped. My gosh! Benjamin is just so good-looking. The kids resemble him a lot and
have his good looks too!
Apart from that, she admired the man’s long and curly eyelashes. D*mn! How could a man have longer
eyelashes than a woman?
Just when Arissa was admiring his profile, Benjamin turned and looked into her eyes. At the sight of his
reflection in them, he was in a joyous mood.
“What are you looking at?” He raised his hand and tapped on her nose affectionately.
Arissa blushed in an instant, his touch sending a ripple to her heart.
Feeling her face heating up, she complimented, “You have really long eyelashes!”
Arching his brows, Benjamin teased, “And here I thought you would say that I’m good-looking.”
Arissa looked at him again and nodded sheepishly. “No doubt, you do have a good look!”
After that, she shifted her gaze away hurriedly and touched his hand. “Is it still painful?”
Benjamin hummed in acknowledgment before turning his focus on the documents again.
Pursing her lips, Arissa could not resist scoffing inwardly. Hmph! I swear his mood changes as fast as
the weather!
When she saw the drip finishing soon, she thought of checking the man’s allergic condition. “Are you
feeling better?” she asked in great concern.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmFrom what she saw, the redness on his face was gone. Even so, he replied, “I don’t know.”
As he was still engaged in his work, Arissa lifted the hem of his top discreetly. She heaved a sigh of
relief when she noticed that the redness on his body seemed to be subsiding gradually.
When Benjamin tilted his head and gazed at her, she explained in embarrassment, “I just want to check
if you’re getting better.”
“I feel a lot better now,” Benjamin replied briefly and switched to look at the documents again.
Arissa looked at the drip again and noticed it was finishing soon. She wondered if she should go back
to prepare the meals first or to leave only after the drip was finished.
Coincidentally, the butler gave her a call, telling her that he would bring lunch for Benjamin.
Arissa conveyed the butler’s message to Benjamin right away. “Edwin informed me that he would bring
you lunch later.”
Benjamin was signing on a document when he uttered placidly, “Tell him that there’s no need to come.”
Arissa’s eyes lit up instantaneously. “Does that mean we are going back in a while?”
“Yes,” he replied.
Feeling over the moon, Arissa called Edwin back to tell him that they would be back soon.
Flashing her a glance, Benjamin mocked, “You must be bored stiff here.”
“Hehe! It’s still all right I guess.” Arissa smiled sheepishly.
“Oh? How about we stay for another day here then?” Benjamin teased her, his lips curving into a smirk.
