Chapter 1099 I Am Sorry

Arissa stayed in Mary's room for a while before going back to her own ward. Before she left, she even reminded the bodyguards not to tell Darius she was there.

Upon arriving in her ward, she closed the door gently and turned around to see Benjamin sitting on the bed.

Benjamin was staring back at her sternly.

Arissa felt guilty, and she was so anxious that she didn't know what to do with her hands.

When she met his sharp gaze, she felt her heart pounding even faster. This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.

“Um... You're done showering already?” Arissa uttered shyly. I didn't expect him to finish showering so quickly.

Benjamin snorted softly. “I thought you weren't coming back.”

Arissa's lips twitched. Noticing the frown on his face, she sat next to him and held his arm.

Benjamin wanted to shake her off, but she tightened her grip on his arm.

“I went to see Dad, and when I was about to come back up, I bumped into Grandaunt. I had no choice but to chat with her for a while,” she explained.

Benjamin's face darkened, and he kept mum. At the same time, he was exuding a cold aura.

“I was wrong!” Arissa uttered coyly and sincerely while shaking his arm.

Benjamin snorted louder than before, and he narrowed his eyes when he saw her acting coy and pitiful.

Arissa felt uneasy when she saw his gloomy expression. He's really angry.

Suddenly, her eyes gleamed, and she lifted her head to kiss him on the cheek. “I was wrong! You can hit me if you want!” Arisso stoyed in Mory's room for o while before going bock to her own word. Before she left, she even reminded the bodyguords not to tell Dorius she wos there.

Upon orriving in her word, she closed the door gently ond turned oround to see Benjomin sitting on the bed.

Benjomin wos storing bock ot her sternly.

Arisso felt guilty, ond she wos so onxious thot she didn't know whot to do with her honds.

“Um... You're done showering olreody?” Arisso uttered shyly. I didn't expect him to finish showering so quickly.

Benjomin snorted softly. “I thought you weren't coming bock.”

Benjomin wonted to shoke her off, but she tightened her grip on his orm.

“I went to see Dod, ond when I wos obout to come bock up, I bumped into Grondount. I hod no choice but to chot with her for o while,” she exploined.

Benjomin's foce dorkened, ond he kept mum. At the some time, he wos exuding o cold ouro.

“I wos wrong!” Arisso uttered coyly ond sincerely while shoking his orm.

Benjomin snorted louder thon before, ond he norrowed his eyes when he sow her octing coy ond pitiful.

Arisso felt uneosy when she sow his gloomy expression. He's reolly ongry.

Suddenly, her eyes gleomed, ond she lifted her heod to kiss him on the cheek. “I wos wrong! You con hit me if you wont!”

Benjamin's rage significantly subsided when he heard those words.

“Hit you?” He raised his brows and stared at her.

Arissa gulped and peeked at him. Seeing that he was no longer as angry as before, she smiled and said, “Well, I disobeyed you, so you have the right to hit me!”

“Huh?” Benjamin's rage had been reignited once more. Am I really such a violent man?

“So you're not going to hit me?” Arissa asked tentatively and stared at him pitifully.

Benjamin pinched her nose and reprimanded her in a deep voice, “Do you even take my words to heart? Why did you go out?”

Benjamin had jumped in alarm when he came out of the bathroom to see that she was gone. He had thought something bad had happened to her.

He only found out that she had gone downstairs to see Darius when he questioned the bodyguard stationed at the entrance of the ward.

“Didn't the doctor say I could be discharged? That means I'm getting better! I'm capable of walking around,” Arissa said softly.

At that moment, she was beaming within because she knew he was worried about her.

Benjamin sighed internally when he heard that. Who would've thought that I would be more worried about her than the kids?

“If you roam around again, I'll break your legs!”

Arissa didn't get mad when he scolded her. Instead, she nodded obediently. “All right, all right, I'll remember that.”

Benjamin glared at her again.

Arissa's eyes darted around, and she ended up cradling his face and kissing him a few more times.

“Don't be mad. I'm fine now, am I not? Just calm down.”

Benjamin wrapped his arms around her waist. He was no longer looking as stern as before. “You liar!”

Arissa met Benjamin's dubious gaze and smiled awkwardly.

“I promise not to roam around anymore!” Arissa nodded firmly. After all, I've already seen Dad, and I know there's nothing to worry about anymore.

“Let's go to sleep!” Benjamin carried her to the bed, and before she knew it, he was already on top of her.

After that, Benjamin lay down next to her.

Arissa blinked while lying on his arm. “Are you going to sleep as well?”

“I have to be constantly worried about you. If I don't keep a close eye on you, you'll misbehave!” Benjamin hugged her tight, pulled the blanket over them, and switched off the lights.

Arissa was rendered speechless. I already made him a promise, and he still doesn't trust me! It seems that I'm no longer a trustworthy person in his eyes. Nevertheless, I'm happy he's going to sleep early tonight.

With that in mind, she wrapped her arms around his waist and said, “Darling, I'm sorry!”
