Chapter 131 You Are Lying

"You need to be safe, not just careful," Benjamin said in a bitter tone.

Arissa smiled. She couldn't understand why Benjamin was getting angry over this matter.

Watching her rubbing her nose, his stern expression softened.

He gently pulled her hand away and examined the slightly red nose.

Frowning, he held onto her hand and led her into the living room.

"Edwin! Bring the medical box here!" He called out.

"Yes, Mr. Graham," Edwin answered and hurriedly went to get it.

Arissa glanced at Benjamin, who was gripping her wrist tightly. She could feel the warmth of his hand tingling on her skin. Her heart was racing again. Benjamin led her to the couch and made her sit down.

Edwin was beside them in a flash with the medical box in his arms. "Here, Mr. Graham."

He opened the lid and passed it to Benjamin, his gaze falling onto Arissa. "Did you get hurt, Ms. York?"

"It's nothing," She replied, feeling awkward.

Benjamin glared at her and took out an ointment. "Put your hand away!"

She looked at the serious man in front of her and put down her hand.

He gently rubbed the ointment onto her nose and her arm.

"Get Shaun to come," Benjamin ordered.

It shocked Edwin when he saw the bruises on Arissa's arm and hurried away to call Shaun to the Graham residence.

Arissa didn't know why Benjamin was calling someone over. She scanned the room, unable to catch a glimpse of Gavin.

"Where is Gavin?"

"He has gone to a classmate's house and has not returned," Edwin said with a smile on his face.

Classmate? Don't tell me he's at my house?

She smiled as she met Benjamin's gaze. "Mr. Graham, my friend is taking care of my child. Why don't you call the person you sent to return?"

An image of Bradley immediately flashed through Benjamin's mind and he squinted his eyes at her.

His gaze was sharp, and his tone was laced with menace. "What friend?"

"A good friend of mine!" she exclaimed, suddenly feeling anxious.

He shot her a look and scoffed. "Your child will be safer here."

Edwin stared at the two of them and asked in curiosity, "Ms. York, do you have kids as well?"

Arissa smiled and nodded. "Yes, I do."

Edwin stole a glance at Benjamin. If Mr. Graham likes Ms. York, then they're a perfect match. They both have children and won't feel resentment towards one another over this matter. "Ms. York, are you hungry?" Edwin asked. "Let me bring you some snacks."

"No, that's all right." Arissa smiled.

"Bring them here," Benjamin coldly ordered Edwin.

"Yes, Sir!" Edwin bowed and hurried to prepare some snacks, the corners of his lips curving into a smile. It's been a while since I saw Mr. Graham care for someone. Benjamin sat himself down beside Arissa.

Suddenly, she felt immense pressure with him beside her. His aura was just too imposing.

"Mr. Graham, please don't mind me and go ahead with your business. I'll just sit here and wait." It was so awkward that she had to break the silence.

"Do you know which classmate's house my son is at?" Benjamin suddenly asked.

"H-Huh?" Arissa stuttered and shook her head. "Sorry, but I don't know."

He turned to look at her. However, she would look at anywhere but him.

He could sense that she was guilty about lying. The corner of his lips twitched into a smirk as he purposely leaned towards her.

"You're lying." He whispered into her ear.

Arissa felt her heart skip a beat as she moved to the other side of the couch, trying to escape from him.

Benjamin noticed what she was trying to do and chuckled.

"W-Who says that I'm lying? I've been doing overtime all this while and haven't been able to contact Gavin."

She denied his accusation. In fact, she had only guessed that Gavin was at her home.

Bradley is taking care of them. Who knows if they're still at home or outside?
