The More the Merrier
Why Did You Not Pick Up
Arissa rolled her eyes with a smile. “You did well too. Thank you, Mr. Graham!”
When he saw the mischievous look in her eyes and how it glistened with the light, Benjamin was briefly
shaken.
He pinched her cheeks. “You’re welcome. I did it on the account of the children.”
With a twitch of her lips, Arissa turned away to look out the car window.
Is it so hard to admit that he cares for me?
When Benjamin saw her turning her back toward him, he assumed that she was hurt by his words.
Hence, he leaned closer and whispered into her ear, “I was worried about you too.”
His deep magnetic voice sounded especially alluring.
Arissa’s heart skip a beat before it began to pound furiously.
Breaking into a smile, she turned to look at him.
When his lips brush across her face, Arissa recoiled to avoid it as her cheeks began to burn.
Benjamin gazed longingly at her.
When he saw how adorable she was when blushing, he tousled her hair.
“Why is the York family here?”
Arissa’s eyes sparkled. “Northstream is her hometown.”
Nodding in response, Benjamin instructed, “If there’s anything you want to buy, just get Ethen or the
bodyguards to get them.”
“Mmm-hmm.”
Arissa nodded and reassured him, “I’m fine, as they barely harmed a hair on my head. Instead, I
managed to get on their nerves.”
Benjamin chortled. “But all I saw was you standing cluelessly there.”
Arissa was stumped. “If you hadn’t appeared, I would have dodged, all right?”
Previously, she didn’t dare resist out of respect for her elders. But now, things were different.
She was no longer the old Arissa who would let everyone walk over her. She would respond in kind to
whoever bullied her.
Benjamin grunted in acknowledgment. His concerns were eased when he saw that Arissa wasn’t as
glum as before.
“Why didn’t you answer when I called your phone?”
Arissa giggled in response to his question. “Wasn’t I facing off with them? How would I have time to
pick it up?”
Benjamin responded with a snort.
Taking out her phone to check, Arissa realized that she had two missed calls.
“I need to call Old Mr. Graham back.” She didn’t want him to worry.
“Don’t call him!”
When Benjamin snatched her phone away from her, Arissa was shocked and just looked at him.
“What’s with you?”
“If you call him, he’ll definitely ask where we are.”
Benjamin was cognizant of the reason why Darius called Arissa in the first place.
Arissa was amused. “I can choose not to tell him.”
Benjamin snorted to express his disbelief.
“Can you promise that you won’t waver?”
Pursing her lips, Arissa rebutted, “I’m not sure if I can, but it’s not a big deal if Old Mr. Graham comes
over. He just wants to see Tim.”
“He’ll see him when we take them back. Besides, it’s pointless for him to come here. Going back and
forth is just too much trouble,” Benjamin objected in a deep voice.
“However, we can’t go back now, can we?” Arissa empathized with how anxious Darius was to see
Tim.
“Just do as I say. He will be nothing but a nuisance if he comes,” Benjamin warned with a frown.
Arissa was amused. “I got it. I won’t tell him.”
Benjamin let out a smug grunt.
Smiling in response, Arissa ordered the driver to drop her at the tailor when she saw that they were
about to arrive at the hospital entrance.
“You should head back first. I need to pick up the clothes.”
Just as she spoke, she alighted after the car came to a stop. When she was about to close the door,
she saw Benjamin coming down with her.
“Are you going with me?”
“Mmm-hmm!” Benjamin nodded as he alighted.
“To make sure you won’t run off without warning.”
Benjamin then held her hand. “Lead the way!”
Beaming in response, Arissa reminded him, “It’s dirty there. Are you sure you want to follow me?”
When Benjamin gave her the side-eye, she chuckled at the thought of how he was a clean freak.
“It’s not that dirty. It just isn’t as clean as Dellmoor. That’s all.”
When they arrived, Benjamin knitted his brows and reprimanded her, “Can’t you find some place
cleaner? Why would you even come to such a dirty place?”
Arissa was dumbfounded.
Even though the other streets were cleaner, this particular one was dirtier due to the mass left by
vendors selling supper the night before.
Unlike Benjamin, she had a greater tolerance for dirty surroundings.
“Why don’t you wait for me here?”
