Chapter 1064 Let Me Carry You

"We're fine," Gavin reassured, not wanting Benjamin to worry.

Benjamin felt relieved upon hearing his son's response. However, the thought of the children getting mocked and bullied by Julian still made his handsome face cloud over.

Immediately after ending his call with Gavin, he dialed Ethen's number and instructed, "Teach Julian a lesson."

Arissa happened to wake up at that moment. When she heard Benjamin talking on the phone, she furrowed her brows. It took her a while before she finally recalled who Julian was.

She waited until he had hung up before asking, "What happened?"

Turning around and seeing that she was awake, Benjamin strode to the bed and sat down. A trace of anger flashed across his face as he replied, "Julian went to the hospital and made some unpleasant remarks."

Thinking he was worried about Darius, she frowned and said, "Honestly, don't they know Dad needs to rest? Why do they keep going there to cause a scene?"

Benjamin glanced at her without saying anything. Then, he asked, "Are you feeling a little better?"

"Mm-hmm!" Arissa nodded, feeling as right as rain.

Benjamin stroked her head. Getting up, he went into the bathroom, then came out a second later.

She felt touched when she saw him come back out with a towel. As she watched him walk toward her, she could feel her heart hammering in her chest.

"Do you want to use the bathroom?" he asked, gently wiping her face.

"Yeah," she murmured. A faint crimson crept across her cheeks, and her eyes glimmered. She hardly dared to meet his gaze.

"We're fine," Gavin reassured, not wanting Benjamin to worry.

Benjamin stared fixedly at her flushed, alluring face, and his eyes darkened. Leaning forward, he rested his hands on either side of her, practically pressing his body against hers.

They were so close they could hear each other breathing, and the atmosphere became thick with romantic tension.

She could smell his strong, masculine scent emanating from his body. It made her heart race, and she gulped subconsciously. Does he have any idea how seductive he is? If he keeps doing this, my heart won't be able to bear it anymore!

Benjamin continued gazing at her intently with dark, mesmerizing eyes that seemed to draw her in.

She blinked, and her face turned an even darker red. However, that only made her look all the more alluring.

There was a glimmer in Benjamin's eyes. Unable to restrain himself any longer, he leaned forward and sealed Arissa's lips with his.

Her heart started beating wildly as though someone had gotten ahold of it, and she lost herself in his intoxicating aura.

Benjamin paused after a while, but he was still not done yet. He nuzzled her neck and planted quick kisses there from time to time.

She tried to dodge him because she was ticklish, but he stayed close to her and did not allow her to move away.

"Move aside. I want to use the bathroom!"

The sound of her delicate and gentle voice seemed to tease him further. Turning to lie sideways, he looked at her with a half-smile and said, "Let me carry you."

His response rendered her speechless, ond the corners of her lips twitched. I wont to go on my own, but his kisses hove left my legs feeling so weok thot I don't even hove the strength to sit up!

"I con wolk there myself," she finolly onswered deliberotely.

Benjomin norrowed his eyes ond fixed her with o piercing goze.

Ignoring him, she mode to get up but wos held down by him. Thot mode her smirk inwordly.

Getting to his feet, he scooped her up in his orms ond wolked toword the bothroom. "If you move obout ogoin, I'll tie up your legs."

Lying still while nestled in his orms, she retorted, "I'm not moving obout!"

"I wos tolking obout eorlier." He lowered his goze ond glored ot her, overwhelming her with his ouro. Arisso could not help feeling intimidoted. She pursed her lips ond dored not move oround onymore. After corrying her into the bothroom, he slid o poir of slippers onto her feet before putting her down.

She stored ot the fluffy bunny slippers ond wriggled her toes inside them. They felt very comfortoble.

"When did you buy it?" She gozed ot his hondsome foce with shining eyes, o worm, fuzzy feeling spreoding through her heort.

"When you were osleep. I hod someone send it over."

She beomed ot him. "Thonk you, Dorling!"

His response rendered her speechless, and the corners of her lips twitched. I want to go on my own, but his kisses have left my legs feeling so weak that I don't even have the strength to sit up! "I can walk there myself," she finally answered deliberately.

Benjamin narrowed his eyes and fixed her with a piercing gaze.

Ignoring him, she made to get up but was held down by him. That made her smirk inwardly.

Getting to his feet, he scooped her up in his arms and walked toward the bathroom. "If you move about again, I'll tie up your legs."

Lying still while nestled in his arms, she retorted, "I'm not moving about!"

"I was talking about earlier." He lowered his gaze and glared at her, overwhelming her with his aura. Arissa could not help feeling intimidated. She pursed her lips and dared not move around anymore. After carrying her into the bathroom, he slid a pair of slippers onto her feet before putting her down. She stared at the fluffy bunny slippers and wriggled her toes inside them. They felt very comfortable.

"When did you buy it?" She gazed at his handsome face with shining eyes, a warm, fuzzy feeling spreading through her heart.

"When you were asleep. I had someone send it over."

She beamed at him. "Thank you, Darling!"
