Chapter 767 He Went On A Business Trip
When Arissa awoke the following morning and went to wash up, she subconsciously walked to the master bedroom.
Just as she was about to open the door, someone opened it from the inside.
She was stunned to find herself face-to-face with the man she had not seen for almost two days. “Good morning,”
she greeted politely. Benjamin stared at her intently and asked in a deep voice, “Why did you move your things
out?”
Her heart lurched. I went to the wrong room! I already moved my things to the guest room last night. “It’s more
convenient that way!”
She glanced at the weary-looking man before her. He looked as though he had just returned, and his eyes were
bloodshot.
He glared at her in response.
However, she merely nodded, then turned to return to the guest room and wash up.
Benjamin pursed his lips. Then, he also turned and went to shower in the master bedroom.
Knowing that Benjamin had returned, Edwin prepared more food for breakfast.
He asked Ethen, “Where has Mr. Graham been these past two days?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“He was on a business trip. Didn’t you know?” Ethen replied as he moved closer and stole a bite of the food.
“A business trip?”
Edwin was surprised.
Ethen nodded. “That’s right. We were on a business trip. After yesterday’s ribbon-cutting ceremony, we rushed to
Xenhall. We were very busy, and that’s why we’ve only just returned.”
Something flickered in Edwin’s eyes. He had seen the news about the previous day’s ribbon-cutting ceremony, so
he enquired softly, “Wasn’t Mr. Graham with Ms. Adams?”
Ethen glanced at him. “No, he wasn’t.”

Then he scanned the surroundings to make sure Benjamin was nowhere in sight before continuing to gossip with
Edwin.
“She did show up at the ribbon-cutting ceremony, but Mr. Graham ignored her. After that, he took me on that
business trip.”
Edwin breathed a sigh of relief. “So that’s what happened.”
He also cast a quick glance around them before saying to Ethen quietly, “Mrs. Graham didn’t look too happy
yesterday.”
Astonished, Ethen asked, “She saw the news too? She doesn’t know Rosetta, does she?”
“I’m not too sure about that. However, women tend to be more sensitive about such things. I already felt
something was off when Mr. Graham left yesterday morning, and they didn’t sleep in the same room the night
before.”
Realization suddenly dawned on Ethen. No wonder Mr. Graham has been giving off such a terrifying and
unapproachable aura since yesterday morning. It turns out that it’s because of Mrs. Graham and not Rosetta.
“Did they quarrel?” Ethen asked.
Edwin furrowed his brows. “The children asked Mrs. Graham that yesterday, but she denied it. It doesn’t look like
they did to me. They were fine before I went to bed the night before, but things had changed by the time I got up
the following morning. I’ve no idea what happened since I wasn’t there.”
“That must mean something unpleasant happened between them since Mr. Graham wasn’t in a good mood either,”
Ethen guessed. Mr. Graham was on his phone a lot during the business trip. I asked him something while he was
waiting for a call, but he cut me off with a glare.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAs the two gossiped in the kitchen, they did not notice Arissa coming downstairs.
“Could it be because of that woman?”
Edwin looked at Ethen. That woman has already left the country, so why would she return?
“I didn’t dare to ask,” Ethen replied with a shrug of his shoulders.
“Good morning, Edwin. Good morning, Mr. Frank!”
The two men nearly jumped out of their skins when they heard Arissa’s voice.
Fixing their gazes on her, they answered in unison, “Good morning, Mrs. Graham.”
She went to pour a glass of water, then busied herself with getting the children’s breakfast.
Edwin and Ethen exchanged glances. Then, the former stepped forward and said, “Mr. Graham is back from his
business trip. I saw him just now.”
Arissa nodded.
“Mr. Graham and I left for a business trip yesterday morning,” Ethen also chimed in to offer her an explanation.
However, she merely turned toward him and nodded with a smile before continuing with what she was doing.
So, he went on a business trip. But whether or not he did has nothing to do with me, nor is it something I should ask
about.
The two men gazed at her. Seeing that she had no wish to continue the topic, they fell silent and helped to prepare
breakfast.
