Chapter 353 He Is Jealous

Arissa went back to the bathroom and knocked on the door.

"The door's not locked!" Benjamin said.

Staring at the door, she found herself at a loss for words.

Is he asking me to deliver the towel inside the bathroom? I'm not a pervert who's interested in watching others shower!

She hung the towel on the doorknob and said to him, "I put it on the doorknob. Come and get it yourself!"

The sound of the shower stopped.

"Bring it in!" Benjamin ordered in a deep voice.

Arissa could not help but roll her eyes. "Why can't you get it yourself?"

I don't want to go in.

"Come in and help me with the ointment!" he ordered once again.

That caused her to sigh. "I'll help you apply it once you're done using the shower!"

It won't be easy to apply the ointment to his body when it's all wet.

She still refused to go in.

After a short while, Benjamin opened the door and saw her sitting on the couch, facing away from him.

He grabbed the towel and wrapped it around his waist before striding toward her.

Bending his finger, he knocked her head, which evoked a gasp from her.

Arissa turned around and shot daggers at him.

Benjamin's eyes glinted with mirth as he asked, "Why can't you just do as I said?"

His question rendered her speechless.

Staring at the man who was exuding an intense manly aura, she voiced, "How do you expect me to help you apply the ointment when your body is wet?" Benjamin snorted and rubbed a towel over his wet hair a few times before ordering, "Get over here!"

Arissa pursed her lips. "What for?"

"Dry my hair!" He stared at her intently.

The woman complied, going over to his side and taking over the towel to dry his hair.

Benjamin took a glance at her. "Are you hiding something from me?"

Arissa lowered her eyes to look at him. "Nothing!"

Still, he remained unconvinced. Displeased by the fact that she refused to be honest with him, he furrowed his brows tightly.

At that moment, she looked at Benjamin and thought he was behaving oddly.

That question came out of nowhere.

Nonetheless, she did not dwell on it for long, continuing to dry his hair and wiping off the water droplets on his body.

Once that was done, she brought his ointment over and applied it to his body.

The rashes on Benjamin's skin had almost disappeared.

"Have you taken your medicine?" she asked.

"Not yet!" he replied and tilted his body so that she could apply the ointment to the other side.

"The rashes on your skin should disappear tomorrow once you've taken the medicine tonight."

While listening to her nagging, Benjamin could not keep his eyes away from her.

Yet, Arissa's attention remained undivided. After completing the application, she said, "Go and eat your medicine now!"

He did not move.

Arissa turned around and looked at him. "Take your medicine and sleep early!"

Benjamin looked at her and asked, "Where are you going?"

Pointing outside the room, she said, "I promised the children I would sleep with them.”

He gazed into her eyes and said in a deep voice, "But they're already asleep. They don't need you."

"I like sleeping with them. Are you happy with the answer?"

With a scowl on his face, he glared at the sharp-tongued woman. "You're sleeping here tonight."

Arissa shot a look of disbelief at the domineering man. "Why should I sleep here when you've recovered?"

"Why not?" His eyes bored into hers.

Her heart instantly skipped a beat, and she looked away. "I don't know!"

Benjamin continued to look at her.

"I'm going out now. Don't forget to take your medicine!"

When Arissa was about to turn around and leave, she heard his imperious voice.

"I won't!" he declared, glaring at her.

His face had turned grim by then.

To her, the kids are more important than me?

He could not help but start to feel jealous.

Amused by his reaction, Arissa almost failed to stifle a chuckle.

"You're the one who's going to suffer if your rashes won't go away!"

Benjamin pinched his thin lips together and uttered indifferently, "It's none of your business!"

Her lips twitched.

In the end, she turned around to retrieve the medicine and poured him a glass of water.

Holding them forward, she cooed, "Come on now! Take your medicine." Benjamin looked at her and said, "Go and keep the children company."

Arissa froze for a moment.
