Benjamin noticed her action, so he retracted his gaze and ate
elegantly.
Is he not done eating? Arissa peeked at him and saw him still
eating. Her initial sense of embarrassment vanished, and she
happily continued filling her stomach.
Benjamin was done after just a few more bites.
‘When he looked at her, he saw her mouth stuffed with food.
Why does she look so cute when she eats?
Avrissa felt his intense gaze, so she turned around to glance at
him.
The instant their eyes locked, her heart started pounding
frantically. She then calmly broke away from his gaze.
After looking away, she could still feel Benjamin staring at her.
Inevitably, her heart raced even faster.
The atmosphere turned somewhat sensual all of a sudden.
The next thing she knew, she was choking on her food, and
she ended up coughing.
Benjamin got up and patted her back. “Why are you so
careless?”
He was frowning, clearly worried about her.
Avrissa coughed for a long while before she regained her
composure. By then, her cheeks were flushed due to the
coughing.

Benjamin poured her a glass of water and gave it to her. “Drink
some water.”
Arissa felt a lot better after a few mouthfuls
of water.
Benjamin was still staring at her when he noticed her watery
eyes. Right then, he changed his mind about scolding her for
her carelessness. “Are you feeling better?”
Arissa nodded. “Yes. Much better.”
“Pay attention when you eat!” Benjamin reminded before
taking his seat.
Arissa merely glanced at him in response. Wasn't that all his
fault? His stare was so distracting!
When she noticed he was still staring at her, she asked, “Are
you done eating?”
“Yes.” Benjamin picked up his fork and served her more food.
“Now, eat up!”
Arissa answered softly, “If you're done eating, go ahead with
your own matters. You don't have to stay here.”
Benjamin's eyes lit up, and he stared at her devilishly. “Is my
presence distracting you?”
Who in the world wants people to stare at them when they
eat? Arissa was startled momentarily before she answered,
“How are you not distracting me when you keep staring at
me?”
Benjamin's lips curled into a smirk. “If you weren't looking at
me, how would you know | was looking at you?”
Rendered speechless, she could only shoot him a look of
disbelief. Is Benjamin joking with me?
She wasn't used to how he had softened up compared to how
cold and distant he was last time.
Benjamin then flicked her head and lifted her chin. “Eat up!
‘When you're done, I'll apply some medication for you.”
Arissa was stunned.
“What?” Benjamin uttered in a deep voice and stared at her
awkwardly.
“I can do it by myself,” she retorted.
However, Benjamin snorted lightly and remained rooted to his
seat.
Arissa had no choice but to continue eating after seeing that
he had no intention of leaving.
For the next half an hour, Benjamin kept her company till she
was done with dinner.
‘When Arissa got up to clear the table, Benjamin grabbed her
hand and dragged her to the living room. “You don't have to

Avrissa felt her heart skip a beat when she saw that towering
figure of his. “Thank you, Graham!”
In response, Benjamin merely spared her a glance before
turning away.
After bringing her to the living room, he sat her down and went
to take the first-aid kit.
He then took out a bottle of disinfectant and ointment from the
box.
Arissa's heart was fluttering as she watched him dipping a
cotton swab into the bottle of disinfectant.
After that, Benjamin turned toward her and lifted her chin.
“I'l do it myself!” Arissa was feeling embarrassed.
“Don't move!” he demanded before disinfecting her wound
gently.
With her head tilted back slightly, Arissa was staring right at
that handsome face of his. They were so close to each other
that she could feel his breath on her face. Needless to say, the
atmosphere was rather sensual.
Indeed, men are most attractive when they're focused!
Besides, he's so elegant and alluring. Arissa started blushing
again, and her heart was pounding.
Benjamin saw how shy she looked with her eyelashes
fluttering slightly, and he was tempted to kiss her pink lips.
