The More the Merrier novel Chapter 257

Chapter 257 Help Him Shower

Benjamin picked up his phone and held it to his ear.

“Hello?”

His deep, calm voice betrayed nothing of his current situation.

Arissa glanced at him and sat aside.

He glanced back at her before saying, “Yeah, I am caught up with something. Is Dad around?”

The butler immediately passed the phone to Darius.

“Where have you been, little punk? You didn’t pick up my calls,” Darius’ voice sounded really strict.

Benjamin’s eyes glinted and he replied, “I was in a meeting and didn’t notice your call.”

Arissa continued to look at him.

“I wanted to ask you to bring Gavin’s mom back for dinner today, but you didn’t pick up,” Darius grumbled. “Bring her back tomorrow, alright?”

Benjamin frowned. He didn’t know if he would recover by tomorrow.

It wasn’t exactly troublesome to do anything, but he still felt uncomfortable seeing anyone in his current situation.

“I’ll let you know again tomorrow. I might still be busy.”

“Are you actually so busy that you can’t even come home for just one simple meal? Do you think you’re the president or something? How long has it been since you came back to eat with us? It’s starting to look like you don’t even want to bring her home.”

Darius’ nagging was giving Benjamin a headache and he massaged his brow with a sigh.

“I’ll bring her back once I have time.”

Darius just scoffed. “Since you’re so busy, then I’ll take care of Gavin and the others until you’re finally free enough to spend some time with them.”

After that, he hung up angrily.

Benjamin listened to the annoying beeps and tossed his phone aside.

After that, he stood up.

When Arissa saw him starting to stand up, she immediately rushed over to help him.

“Where are you going?”

Benjamin’s handsome face was extremely close to hers and she backed away slightly.

He glanced at her and replied, “I need to take a shower.”

The sticky ointment all over his body made him feel extremely uncomfortable.

Arissa frowned. “You haven’t completely recovered yet. I don’t think you should take a shower for now.”

“What does my allergy have to do with taking a shower?” Benjamin side-eyed her.
