Chapter 1065 I Need To Keep You Company

Benjamin's eyes darkened. The way she called him Darling made him giddy.

He leaned in closer to her and said in a low voice, "Do you think just a thank you is enough?"

Arissa blinked and stared at him, puzzled. "What do you want, then?"

Benjamin lifted her chin and kissed her.

Arissa's heart skipped a beat. She raised her head and let him kiss her for a while.

After Benjamin stopped kissing her, he rested his lips on hers.

"Now this is what I call sincerity." When he whispered, his lips brushed against hers, giving her a tingling sensation.

Arissa blushed as a look of embarrassment flashed across her eyes. "Get out!"

Benjamin raised his eyebrows and gazed at her.

"Get out now. I need to use the bathroom." Arissa gave him a nudge, feeling a bit awkward.

"I'll wait for you!" Benjamin did not move an inch.

The corners of Arissa's lips twitched. "I'm doing a number two. Are you sure you want to wait here?" Benjamin looked at her for a moment before turning around to leave. "Call me when you're done!" Arissa waited for him to close the door of the bathroom before proceeding to relieve herself. As she did not call him after a while, Benjamin walked to the door and knocked on it.

"Are you done?"

"A little while more!" replied Arissa, who was bereft of speech when she looked at the silhouette outside the door.

Benjamin's eyes darkened. The way she called him Darling made him giddy.

He's not gonna wait by the door, is he?

Indeed, Benjamin did not walk away. He just stood at the door and listened carefully to the movement inside.

Arissa knew that she should not stay in the bathroom for too long so she quickly got her thing done and flushed the toilet before calling Benjamin to come in. "Benjamin, I'm done!"

Pushing the door open, Benjamin saw her sitting on the toilet and walked inside.

"You've become obedient."

His teasing remark made the corners of her lips twitch. She retorted, "I don't want to get scolded!"

With a chuckle, Benjamin bent over to pick her up and turned around to walk out of the bathroom.

He stared at her fixedly and asked, "Did I scold you?"

Arissa snorted and pursed her lips. "Not only did you scold me, you even threatened me!"

Benjamin chuckled. Walking to the bed with her in his arms, he then slowly put her down on the bed.

"Stay under the blanket." He pulled the blanket over her and tucked her in.

Seeing that he was worried about her, Arissa said gently, "I'm much better now. Don't be on your toes anymore."

Benjamin glanced at her with a certain emotion in his eyes. "Do you feel uncomfortable lying down?"

Having been seen through by him, Arissa flashed him a sheepish smile.

"Yeah, it's a bit uncomfortable to lie down for too long."

Benjamin rubbed her head and coaxed in a soft voice, "It must be tough for you, but you should still lie down today. I'll bring you home if your checkup tomorrow shows that you're fine." Arisso nodded. Suddenly, remembering thot the triol would be held the next doy, she looked ot Benjomin ond whispered, "Regording the triol tomorrow-"

Benjomin interrupted her rother domineeringly, "Don't go there tomorrow. Leove this motter to Jonothon. We'll just woit for the result."

Arisso bit her lip. She hod plonned on going ot first. However, since she found out she wos pregnont, she could not put her boby ot risk.

I sholl not toke ony chonces. She looked ot Benjomin. "Are you not going too?"

"I need to keep you compony!" Benjomin wos worried obout her more thon the triol.

Meeting his eyes thot were filled with concern, Arisso felt moved.

"You don't hove to keep me compony. You should go to the triol."

Benjomin held her hond. "It doesn't motter whether we go or not. Jonothon is confident in winning."

It was impossible for the Adoms fomily to exonerote Donno.

"Just rest well. Don't worry obout the triol tomorrow," Benjomin comforted her.

Seeing thot he hod mode up his mind, Arisso nodded. "All right."

Benjomin touched her heod ond reossured her, "Jonothon hos never lost in court. If he didn't hove the confidence to win, I wouldn't hove entrusted him with the lowsuit."

Arissa nodded. Suddenly, remembering that the trial would be held the next day, she looked at Benjamin and whispered, "Regarding the trial tomorrow-"

Benjamin interrupted her rather domineeringly, "Don't go there tomorrow. Leave this matter to Jonathan. We'll just wait for the result."

Arissa bit her lip. She had planned on going at first. However, since she found out she was pregnant, she could not put her baby at risk.

I shall not take any chances. She looked at Benjamin. "Are you not going too?"

"I need to keep you company!" Benjamin was worried about her more than the trial.

Meeting his eyes that were filled with concern, Arissa felt moved.

"You don't have to keep me company. You should go to the trial."

Benjamin held her hand. "It doesn't matter whether we go or not. Jonathan is confident in winning."

It was impossible for the Adams family to exonerate Danna.

"Just rest well. Don't worry about the trial tomorrow," Benjamin comforted her.

Seeing that he had made up his mind, Arissa nodded. "All right."

Benjamin touched her head and reassured her, "Jonathan has never lost in court. If he didn't have the confidence to win, I wouldn't have entrusted him with the lawsuit."
