The More the Merrier novel Chapter 256

Chapter 256 Like His Wife

Darius’ eyes glinted. After all, he wasn’t born yesterday, and he was still very sharp for his age.

They rushed off that afternoon and returned in high spirits a few hours later. When they were asked about what they had been up to, they simply stayed quiet.

Could Benjamin be in trouble?

He hasn’t returned any of my calls yet.

Darius didn’t move and continued eating with his grandchildren.

After eating, he asked his butler to call Ethen and ask about Benjamin’s whereabouts.

“Mr. Graham? He went out. I didn’t go with him. He went out with Ms. York. Jasper and the others will go and fetch them when they’re done,” Ethen fibbed.

Benjamin’s condition was already stable, but Ethen didn’t feel like telling Old Mr. Graham that Benjamin was in the hospital this late at night.

He didn’t want to cause them to overreact and leak the news to the media.

“Where did they head off to?” Edwin asked.

“Oh! There’s another call coming in, so I need to go! Call Mr. Graham for anything else, okay?”

Ethen immediately made up an excuse so he could hang up.

Edwin raised an eyebrow and reported, “Something seems fishy.”

Benjamin was definitely not at a business gathering, because if he was, Ethen would know the venue.

He probably knew and was purposely hiding it from them.

Darius nodded.

“Call Benjamin again.”

Back in the hospital, Benjamin was finally awake.

Arissa immediately rushed toward him and helped him sit up.

“Are you feeling better?”

Benjamin glanced at her and said, “I’m going to the washroom.”

“Slow down!” Arissa bent down and took his slippers.

He looked at her strangely, curious as to why she was suddenly doing all this.

She was acting like his wife, and doing all of this was completely natural.

She didn’t know what he was thinking and simply helped him put his shoes on so he could go to the restroom.
