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?”
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.
