Chapter 463 Does He Not Want To Come Here
“Did you manage to find him when you got there?” Arissa glanced at him.
Benjamin shook his head. “It was already past midnight when we got to the village. The village chief led us to their
house, but they weren’t there. We were told that they’d gone to town. When we got to the town, we still couldn’t
find them. In the end, it was a nurse from a clinic that told Ethen-”
“Clinic? Has he fallen sick?” Distress was written all over Arissa’s face.
Benjamin furrowed his brows and uttered, “Don’t interrupt me when I talk!”
“Oh, okay!” Arissa pursed her lips and looked at Benjamin worriedly.
Benjamin threw her a glance and continued, “He isn’t sick, but the old lady who adopted him, Mdm. Mary is!”
“Is it serious?” Arissa couldn’t help but ask. Since Mdm. Mary is my son’s savior, she’s also our savior! Nothing bad
should happen to her.
Benjamin looked at her and answered, “It’s complicated. I’ve already sent Shaun there, and we’ll only know more
once he has checked her. In the end, we found the child at a hospital in the town of Northstream. Tim is quite a
smart boy! He managed to avoid us a few times because he thought we were the bad guys. When he saw the
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtbodyguards in the hospital, he took Mdm. Mary to the restroom to hide from us.”
Hearing that, Arissa felt like she was on an emotional rollercoaster. However, she was very happy to learn about
how smart her son was.
“Even I would be scared when I see your bodyguards, let alone a child! How would he know if you guys were the
bad guys or not when he saw the whole bunch of you walking in?” Arissa uttered.
Benjamin’s lips twitched when he heard that.
“Why didn’t you bring him back, then? Did he not want to come here?” Arissa gazed at Benjamin and questioned.
Benjamin gazed back at her and answered, “When we found him, Mdm. Mary had fallen sick. At that time, she was
vomiting blood, and she was still inside the emergency room. I think he’s too worried about Mary, so he didn’t come
back with me!”
Curious, Arissa queried, “Why didn’t you wait for her to come out? How is she now?” Under such circumstances,
isn’t it safe to say that a normal human wouldn’t have left? Besides, he’d just found his son!
For the child, Benjamin was nothing more than a stranger he’d just met.
“Mdm. Mary is fine at the moment.” Benjamin ignored her first question.
Arissa sized him up a bit and thought about the reasons why he was there with her. Right then, her eyes lit up.
“Did you rush back here because I was hospitalized?” she asked softly.
In response, Benjamin merely shot her a glare and kept mum.
As Arissa was looking at the prideful man before her eyes, she couldn’t help but feel warmth welling up in her
heart.
“I’m perfectly fine! It was just my anemia acting up. You should’ve stayed there instead!” she said in a gentle tone.
Benjamin fixed his gaze on her and answered with a deep voice, “You weren’t listening to a word I said on the
phone. If I didn’t come here and explain it to you, you’d surely still be sad by now.”
Hearing that, Arissa shrunk in her seat and remained silent.
Initially, she thought Benjamin was just comforting her with his words. Besides, she wasn’t going to trust him
because she thought he could still be protecting Danna.
Now that Benjamin had explained himself, she couldn’t help but feel like an idiot.
“What an idiot!” Benjamin scolded.
Arissa widened her eyes in anger. Although he had a point, she was still displeased at having been called an idiot.

“Was I not clear?” Benjamin’s expression turned gloomy, and he closed in on her.
Arissa leaned back and looked at Benjamin warily.
Upon seeing how submissive she was, Benjamin thought it would be fun to tease her there and then.
Hence, he leaned in closer. Seeing that, Arissa anxiously backed away once more.
Again, Benjamin moved toward her.
“What are you trying to do?” Arissa reached out her hand and pressed it against his chest.
Suddenly, Benjamin leaned into her.
Arissa was stunned. “Hey, you!”
“What’s with me?” Benjamin stared at her seductively. By then, Arissa was nearly engulfed by his deep and dark
eyes.
Benjamin was so close to her that she could smell his scent, and she instantly blushed upon taking a whiff. “You’re
so heavy! Get off me, Graham!”
