Chapter 778 His Pillow
The bodyguard only closed the door after ensuring that Arissa was well seated in the car. He then got into the
driver’s seat and sped off to the school.
Arissa threw a look at the man before turning to look out the car window. All of a sudden, he pulled her toward him.
“Ah!” Arissa gasped in astonishment. After stealing a look at the bodyguard in the driver’s seat, she turned to glare
at Benjamin. “What are you…”
She trailed off when she noticed the utter weariness on his face. “Let me sleep for a while.” Benjamin wrapped his
arms around her tightly, resting his chin on her shoulder.
Arissa blushed crimson in an instant. She could feel a tingling sensation as his breath brushed against her ear. Any
slight movement from her would trigger him to tighten his embrace.
Seconds later, Arissa heard his steady breathing. Utterly speechless, she blinked. Is he treating me as his pillow?
She turned slightly to glance at Benjamin. The man’s usual vibe of indifference seemed to be prevailed by a sense

Before retracting her gaze, she could not resist taking a peep at the man’s stunning good looks again. “Mrs.
Graham, Mr. Graham hasn’t slept for almost two days,” the bodyguard whispered.
Arissa was startled. Two days? I’ll just let him sleep a while more for the sake of the kids. After a while, Arissa took
the blanket and covered Benjamin’s body with it.
The man was suddenly alerted and opened his eyes. Seeing that, she froze in embarrassment. However, he closed
his eyes and drifted off to sleep again the next second. Arissa held her breath. Is he awake or is he still in his
dream?
Listening to the man’s steady breathing, she was gradually at ease again. Along the way to school, Arissa did not
wake Benjamin up. Nonetheless, she could not help racking her brain about how to break herself free from his
embrace to get out of the car upon reaching the school.
Whenever she moved, he would tighten his arms around her. It went on a few times that she almost thought he had
woken up.

“Benjamin, let me go. I need to get out and get the kids,” she said softly, but there was no response from the man
who was deep in slumber.
Heaving a sigh, she moved his hands aside carefully and stuffed a pillow into his arms. She could not resist feeling
amused when she saw him continue to sleep soundly with his arms around the pillow.
Shortly after, Arissa got out of the car to fetch the kids. The moment they saw her getting out of Benjamin’s car,
they craned their necks in the direction of the car. “Mommy, did Daddy come together with you?” Gavin asked
excitedly.
“Yeah!” Arissa pinched his cheek lightly. “But he’s asleep. Remember not to wake him up when you guys get into
the car later, okay?”

before heading toward the car.
The kids were thoughtful. Seeing that Benjamin was asleep, they avoided talking loudly. In fact, some of them did
not even open their mouths, fearing that they would wake him up. They were seated obediently as they looked in
Benjamin’s direction.
With a smile, Arissa hopped into the car, closed the door, and put their bags aside.
The kids stared at her with a hint of curiosity in their crystal-clear eyes. Arching her brows, Arissa asked in a low
voice, “What do you want to say?”
Zachary broke the silence by whispering, “Mommy, why did you come together with Mr. Graham?”
Arissa pinched his nose lightly. “He’s your daddy. Is it weird that we came to fetch you guys together?”
“But didn’t you and Daddy have a falling-out?” Gavin asked softly. Oliver, Tim, and Jasper gazed at her, eager to
know the answer. Jesse also stared at her without blinking.
Arissa was amazed. The kids are really observant!
She lowered her voice as she said, “We didn’t have a falling-out, but we seldom communicate with each other lately
as we have been busy at work.”
Zachary looked at her doubtfully, but he did not ask any further questions since Benjamin was asleep.
