Chapter 1051 Go To Sleep
Blushing furiously, she lay in bed and meekly allowed him to wipe her down and change
her clothes.
After her sweaty day of horseback riding, she felt much better after being wiped down.
Benjamin leaned over to tuck her in, smiling faintly at the sight of her scarlet cheeks.
“Why is your face so red?” he asked, suppressing a smile.
Arissa's cheeks grew warm. She pulled the quilt up to cover them, exposing only her eyes
which she rolled at him.
“I'm not as thick-skinned as you.” He once enslaved me during his stay in the hospital,
and I don't recall seeing him feel bad.
Benjamin smiled wickedly. He leaned over, causing Arissa to flinch.
“Me, thick-skinned?” Benjamin's beady eyes were fixed upon her exquisite features.
Arissa blinked and met his deep gaze. “Aren't you?” she argued. “You're a grown man, yet
you still asked me for baths daily back then!”
Benjamin's eyes twinkled as they remained fixed on her. “Bringing up the past now, are
we?”

Benjamin chuckled and pinched her nose. “Just saying? I'm currently returning the favor,
then. So now we can call it even, right?”
Arissa was dumbstruck.
“Perhaps you feel like you've been taken advantage of. You can bathe me now if you so
wish.”
Benjamin's lips curled upward wickedly as he teased Arissa.
Arissa glared at him. “Shameless creature!” she hissed. “The doctor said I am to lie down,
and you're asking for a bath?”
Benjamin laughed and stroked her cheek affectionately. “I'm just teasing. Be good and
stay in bed. I'm going to take a shower.”
Arissa nodded. “Go on. It's getting late.”
His unblinking gaze upon her made her uncomfortable.
Despite having married each other more than once, it was his first time asking for a bath
with so much bravado.
Benjamin knew what she was embarrassed about. Chuckling, he turned around to grab his
clean clothes and head into the shower.
“Go to sleep. Quit moving about!”
Arissa pouted at the hulking figure.
“I will,” she called after him, who was already in the bathroom.
Shutting the bathroom door, Benjamin began his shower.
Arissa lay in bed and touched her stomach. Though she no longer felt discomfort, she did
not dare move.
Benjamin's phone rang abruptly. She glanced at it.
“Your phone's ringing, Benjamin!” she called toward the bathroom door.
“I'll be out in a minute! Leave it be!” Benjamin's voice sounded from the bathroom.
Arissa gazed at his phone. It stopped ringing but immediately began to ring again.
She frowned. Could this be an emergency?
Glancing toward the bathroom, she debated if she should find out who was calling.
Undeterred, the caller kept trying. Arissa had just pulled herself into a seated position

Freezing when she met Benjamin's gaze, she lay back down guiltily as her eyes darted
about.
Benjamin glanced at her before walking over to pick up the phone.
He frowned upon seeing that Jonathan and Ethen had called, then turned to the balcony to
call Jonathan back.
“What is it?”
Arissa watched him. Benjamin had a towel around his waist, and his figure was
mesmerizing.
Drawn by the pheromones he exuded, she could not help scanning him from head to toe.
As if sensing her gaze upon him, Benjamin turned around.
Her heart skipped a beat upon suddenly meeting his gaze, and she averted her eyes.
Benjamin's gaze deepened, and his heart leaped with joy.
“Come and see me at Second Hospital tomorrow morning.”
Jonathan froze on the other end. “Are you keeping Old Mr. Graham company? Wait, that's
not right. Isn't he at Shaun's?”
