Chapter 732 Placed Her Hand On His Chest
Giggling, Zachary teased, “Mommy, we’re only going to school. We’ll see each other again in the afternoon after
school. If you miss us, just give us a call. We’ll answer your call.”
Feeling embarrassed at getting teased, Arissa waved at them. “Bye, then!” “Bye, Mommy!”
“Bye, Ms. York!” The children waved back with a chorus of goodbyes. Grabbing Arissa’s hand, Benjamin said to the
kids, “Be good at school. We’re leaving now.” “Bye, Daddy!”
“Bye, Mr. Graham!” The six of them also bade farewell to him. Unlike Arissa, Benjamin was unaccustomed to such
clingy behavior. Hence, after murmuring an acknowledgment, he nodded at the school’s administrators and led
Arissa away.
Arissa looked over her shoulder and called out to Robert and the school’s administrators, “Goodbye!”
“Goodbye, Mr. Graham and Ms. York!”
Robert and the others had wanted to send them off, but Benjamin tilted his head and said in a low voice, “You
should get back to work. If anything happens to the children, let us know at once.”
“Yes, Mr. Graham.”

Arissa could not stop worrying and turned to gaze in the direction of the classroom.

When she spotted the kids watching them, she waved her hand, motioning for them to go into the classroom. Only
then did they file into the classroom one after another.
But even after they had disappeared from sight, Arissa was still unwilling to look away. Casting her a quick look,
Benjamin tugged at her hand.
“Why are you still staring? If you do that, how will the kids be able to focus on their lessons?”
Arissa turned back to look at him. The corners of her lips twitched as she gazed at his impassive expression. “It’s
Tim’s first day at this school, so what’s wrong with me worrying about him? I’m not like you. You’re not worried at
all!”
Benjamin narrowed his eyes and fixed his gaze on her. “How do you know I’m not worried?” he asked in a low
voice. Arissa’s gaze flicked toward his cold and handsome face. With his sunglasses on, he looked even more
imposing.
“I can’t tell that you’re worried at all.”
Benjamin’s thin lips curved upward slightly. “Would you like to see it?”
“How?” Arissa looked confused.
“You can feel it.”
With that, he grabbed her hand and placed it on his chest. Arissa’s heart lurched when she felt his strong heartbeat,
and she quickly tried to withdraw her hand.
However, Benjamin did not let her move away. A devilish smile tugged at his lips as he asked, “Do you feel it?”
The corners of Arissa’s mouth twitched. “No!”
She suspected he was seducing her, but she had no proof. Benjamin responded with a snort.
Seeing that many people were staring at them, Arissa blushed. As she struggled to pull her hand away to no avail,
she regretted not putting on a pair of sunglasses.

When Benjamin turned toward her and saw her flushed cheeks, his smile grew wider and even more devilish.
And when he leaned in and whispered into her ear, it was as if he was trying to lure her in. “You’re the mother of
my children. What’s there to be worried about?”
His deep, magnetic voice was like a warm and gentle caress to her ear.
Arissa felt as if it were not only her ear that tingled but also her heart.
Her heart skipped a beat, then started racing.
“The issue isn’t about whether I’m worried or not but about my image!”
Who knows what others will say when they see us like this?
After gazing at her for a while, Benjamin stopped teasing her. Then, he lowered their hands and stuck them into his
pocket, tightly interlacing his fingers with hers.
Arissa’s heart pounded wildly.
The sight of Benjamin in his sunglasses striding out the school gate, coupled with his natural intimidating aura, was
enough to deter anyone from approaching them.
As Arissa followed him closely toward the car, she gritted her teeth and nodded at the parents around them as a
polite greeting.
“You only have to be yourself. Don’t bother about what others think.” A voice suddenly rang out from above her
head. Puzzled, she glanced upward at Benjamin.
However, all she saw was her reflection in his sunglasses. She could not see his eyes.
