Chapter 217 Carry Her Down The Steps

This brat! Benjamin cast a quick look at his son. The other children didn’t even say anything, but for

some reason, this boy who grew up by my side is always against me.

Instantly, Arissa grew protective of her son and hugged him tighter. “Why are you glaring at him?”

Alas, Benjamin gritted his teeth and turned his head away.

Moments later, she discreetly looked at him and was relieved to see that he was not angry.

In fact, she knew that Benjamin still cared about the children.

Or else, he would not have come to pick them up in person.

It was just that sometimes, she felt distressed when she saw him being too strict with the children.

After gradually calming down, the children began to feel drowsy.

Hence, Arissa took a blanket and wrapped it around them.

When they arrived at Dellmoor, all five of them had fallen asleep.

Arissa had also dozed off.

Removing the blanket, Benjamin tried to carry the children.

Seeing that, Ethen swiftly stepped forward and took over two of them while the bodyguards held the

other three.

Just as Benjamin bent down and was about to lift Arissa up, she woke up suddenly.

Their eyes met in an instant.

She was still in a daze, looking confused and adorable.

His eyes glistened as he straightened his back and said in a low voice, “We’re home.”

Blinking a few times, Arissa finally came back to her senses. “Okay.”

She hurriedly stood up, but her legs gave way, causing her to fall to the ground.

Fortunately, Benjamin was quick to react and hurriedly embraced her.

“Just tell me if you want me to carry you.”

With her face buried in his chest, Arissa felt awkward after hearing his words.

“Who said I wanted you to carry me?”

Instantaneously, she pushed him away in embarrassment. The next moment, she staggered and

grabbed his shirt out of instinct.

Benjamin’s lips curled into a smirk. “Look, you’ve thrown yourself into my arms several times.”

Arissa clenched her jaws, feeling frustrated. I only did that because my legs were numb.

Looking at the man who was staring at her with a mocking smile, she was so furious that she could not

be bothered to explain herself.

After all, he would only think that it was an excuse to throw herself at him.

As Benjamin wrapped his arms around her waist, his gaze fell upon her blushing cheeks. At that instant,

he felt that she looked particularly alluring.

His gaze darkened for a second.

Subsequently, he leaned over, and they were so close that they could hear each other’s breathing.

In an instant, Arissa’s heart pounded furiously. She pushed him away and moved aside.

However, she still staggered a bit, so she stomped her feet on the ground with all her might to ease the

numbness and walked out of the cabin.

Benjamin kept his eyes trained on the woman who escaped and pressed his lips tightly.

Am I that scary?

Meanwhile, Arissa could feel the man’s gaze, and her heart was racing.

Was he planning to carry me just now?

As the thought flashed across her mind briefly, she almost tripped again.

Luckily, Benjamin followed closely behind her and grabbed her by the back collar.

“Be careful!”

Arissa was so embarrassed that she wanted to crawl into a hole.

“I know.”

After a while, Benjamin still did not let go of her collar.

She flushed with embarrassment and piped up, “Mr. Graham, you can let me go now.”

Then, she turned around to look at him.

How can I get down if you’re holding me like this?

At that moment, Arissa was standing on the first step of the stairs while Benjamin was standing at the

cabin entrance.

She was already much shorter than him, but now she had to raise her head even more so that she could

talk to him.

Looking up at him like that made her feel like a child.

Benjamin looked down at her with a hint of mockery in his gaze.

As he walked down the steps, she could smell the scent of his body, and her heart palpitated.

Instinctively, she wanted to dodge him. However, he grabbed her with his long arms.

“Do you want to fall down the stairs?”

Benjamin bent over, and his warm breaths danced into her ears together with his mellow voice.

All of a sudden, her body felt weak.

Listening to his mellifluous voice was such a pleasure.

Ugh! Why do I keep embarrassing myself in front of him?

Arissa was going nuts about it.

Right then, a grin flitted across Benjamin’s face. He wrapped his arm around her waist and carried her

down the steps as if he was carrying a child.

Arissa was bereft of speech.
