Chapter 698 You Did That On Purpose

Arissa glanced at him before opening up the glove compartment in front of her. Her heart fluttered as she noticed that all the medication inside there were brand new.

He didn’t prepare all this just for me, did he? At that very moment, Benjamin’s voice rang out from beside her. “Ethen replaces them timely, just in case I ever need them.”

With that, Arissa felt all the joy inside her die out.

“Oh.” It was evident that she was not in good spirits.

Benjamin took a brief look at her, his eyes flashing when he noticed that she looked a little disappointed.

“Are you upset?”

The woman shot him a glance before turning to look out the window. Then, she grabbed the ointment from inside her purse and applied it to her wound.

Benjamin furrowed his brows. “Why didn’t you disinfect your lip?”

“It’s just a tiny wound. There’s no need for that.”

Arissa capped the tube of ointment and tossed it back into her purse.

He darted a glance at her before shifting his focus back on the road.

The two remained silent for the rest of the journey.

As soon as they arrived, Arissa alighted the vehicle on her own, not bothering to wait for Benjamin to open the door for her.

She observed her surroundings.

The man came over to hold her hand, but she avoided him instinctively.

He tried again and managed to grab her hand firmly that time around.

Then, he led her into the restaurant.

“Welcome, Mr. Graham!”

Benjamin inclined his head as a greeting before walking into the place. It seemed like he was a regular there.

Arissa eyed him briefly before checking out the surroundings again.

“Why were you upset?” the man asked suddenly.

She froze for a split second and answered with a pout, “I wasn’t.”

Benjamin tilted his head to look at her. His gaze was so sharp that it was as though he could read a person’s mind.

Then, he looked back up. “Those medications were for you,” he said softly.

Arissa turned to him, her eyes widened in astonishment.

Seeing the hint of amusement in his eyes, she looked away swiftly. “But you said it was Ethen who prepared them!”

Benjamin chuckled. “I didn’t think you’d care that much.”

The woman glared at him in embarrassment. “Then why didn’t you just tell me the truth? You did that on purpose!”
