Chapter 842 Call Me Darling
It was almost noon when a housekeeper from Old Manor brought Arissa and Benjamin
some nutritious soup and lunch. “Mr. and Mrs. Graham, Old Mr. Graham asked me to send
you these. You should eat them while they’re still hot.”
“Thanks!” Arissa took the food from the housekeeper. “This is for Mdm. Mary,” the
housekeeper said and placed another soup container at the side. Arissa thanked her.
“Okay. Thank you! Milly, you should go back now.”
“Mrs. Graham, Old Mr. Graham sent me here to take care of Mdm. Mary,” Milly, the
housekeeper reported. “Eh? We already have a caregiver here!”
Arissa was surprised. We don’t need so many people to take care of Grandaunt since this
hospital belongs to Benjamin, and the doctors and nurses here also take good care of
Grandaunt.
“It’ll be easier for you, and you don’t have to be so tired when one more person is here to
help out,” Milly explained. Benjamin asked Arissa to sit down and have lunch before
instructing Milly to wait outside the ward.
Arissa sat down and uncovered the lunch boxes. “Wow! They look delicious!” She leaned
over and took a deep whiff of the food’s aroma. “Old Mr. Graham’s really nice!”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBenjamin chuckled lightly and reminded her, “You’re still calling him Old Mr. Graham?”
She thought about it and glanced at him. “Hehe. Old habits die hard!” He took a meatball
and fed it to her. “Try this.”
She took a bite and smiled in delight. “Yummy!” Benjamin ate one and felt that it tasted
average. “Why is everything delicious to you?”
“That’s because I’m not a picky eater!” she replied. Words eluded Benjamin. Arissa
laughed at his expression.
“Maybe you’re already used to the taste, so it’s not so delicious anymore. Me, on the
contrary, think it’s delicious since I don’t eat it that much.”
He raised his brows. “That makes sense.” Arissa giggled. “Thanks for your compliment,
Graham!”
He glanced at her beaming face with an affectionate look in his eyes. “Call me ‘Darling!’”
She stared at him in bewilderment, and her face flushed red the moment she met his
abyss-like eyes. “Let’s eat!”
She lowered her head and started eating again. Benjamin’s lips curled slightly when he
saw her blush. Then, he pinched her ear domineeringly and demanded, “Call me ‘Darling’
from now on!”
The corners of Arissa’s mouth twitched. Isn’t this a little cheesy?
She turned to look at him. “Then, what will you call me?”
As he gazed at her, his charming eyes were like a swirling whirlpool that could pull one in.
Arissa’s heart started racing as if a rabbit was hopping around inside her chest.
She quickly looked away and said in a low voice, “Why are you looking at me like that? So
what do you plan to call me?”
A doting look flashed across his eyes. This woman is adorable!
“Have some of this, Honey!”
With that, he put a piece of steak on her plate.
Arissa laughed happily.
“Thank you, Darling!”
Her sweet voice brought a smile to his face.
“Say it again!”
Arissa pursed her lips and said coquettishly, “No!”
Benjamin arched a brow and touched his nose sheepishly.
Edwin smiled when he overheard their conversation.
“Are you having lunch, Mr. Graham and Mrs. Graham?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe woman was frightened. “Edwin! When did you get here?”
“I’ve been here for a while now. I didn’t want to interrupt you two,” he said while placing
the food he had brought on the coffee table.
She was completely embarrassed, and she got even more frustrated when she saw how
calm Benjamin looked.
He’s so shameless! Did he already know Edwin was here?
Benjamin turned to stare at Arissa intently.
“I didn’t know Edwin was here, too. Hurry up and eat.”
Arissa responded with a snort.
Edwin laughed. “It’s normal for you to call each other ‘Darling’ and ‘Honey’ since you’re
already married.”
Don’t be embarrassed, Mrs. Graham. I can understand!
Arissa laughed awkwardly.
“Are these from Old Manor?” Edwin asked as he looked at what Benjamin and Arissa were
eating.
“That’s right. How do you know?” she wondered.
Edwin chuckled. “I’m very familiar with the food there. I can tell by just smelling it.
Besides, Milly is outside. She’s from Old Manor, right?”
Arissa asked Edwin to have a seat.
