Chapter 823 Stay Still

“You’re done with things?” Arissa asked, turning to look at Benjamin. Benjamin nodded. “Yeah.”

Then, he canted his head and cast a glance at her. “Grandaunt’s operation is scheduled for nine o’clock tomorrow morning,” he remarked.

“I see.” Arissa nodded in acknowledgment before adding, “So, we’re heading over after sending the kids to school?”

“Yup,” Benjamin replied with a bob of his head. Indeed, we’ve got to go over to the hospital tomorrow.

Upon returning to the room, he gave Ethen a call, instructing him to reschedule the meetings in the morning so that he would have the morning available.

Arissa eyed him for a moment before going into the bathroom to draw a bath for him.

When she came out, he was still on the phone with Ethen. The latter was probably updating him on work.

Straightening the room for a bit, she went to bed. Even then, Benjamin was still talking on the phone on the balcony.

She heaved a sigh. Truly, he’s quite busy.

Some time passed before the man finally ended the phone call.

“Quick, go and take a bath! The water is getting cold.”

“Okay.”

Nodding smilingly, Benjamin pivoted and headed to the bathroom.

“Do you have a lot of work tomorrow morning? If so, you don’t have to go to the hospital. It’ll be fine with me there,” Arissa suggested, discussing that matter with him.

Benjamin glanced over his shoulder at her. “It’s just some routine meetings. I’ve told Ethen to reschedule them.”

Seeing that he wanted to go with her, Arissa nodded. “I don’t mind as long as you can handle things.”

At that, Benjamin quirked an eyebrow. “Sleep first. I’ll take a bath.”

Only after the man had gone into the bathroom did Arissa go through the emails on the phone.

When Benjamin exited the bathroom and saw that she was still awake, his lips curved into a devilish smile.

“You’re waiting for me?”

Embarrassment flooded Arissa. “Nope. I’m going through my emails.”

Benjamin strolled over to her.

As Arissa glimpsed his muscular figure out of the corner of her eye, her heartbeat accelerated.

He’s simply a walking pheromone dispenser, astoundingly handsome when clothed and seductively sexy in the buff!

Surreptitiously gulping, she forced herself to concentrate on her emails.

Plopping down beside her, Benjamin wrapped an arm around her. Then, he leaned down and kissed her on the forehead.

“It’s time for bed. Why are you still going through your emails?”

He dipped his eyes and swept a gaze over her.
