Chapter 54 Sniffing Her Hair

“All right!” Jasper hugged her and sniffed the familiar sweet scent of her body.

Although Arissa was sad to leave him, she did not have any choice at that point. She then gently ruffled the boy’s hair.

“Let go of her, Gavin. She needs to go home!” Benjamin told his son in a stern voice.

Jasper tightened his hug upon hearing that. Daddy is so annoying.

Arissa felt bad for her son when she saw how fierce Benjamin was. “Mr. Graham, please understand that sometimes a child is reluctant to be separated from his playmate!”

“Playmate?” Benjamin looked at her with a teasing gaze.

Arissa was momentarily stunned by his query and secretly groaned in her heart. Well, I can’t possibly say that he’s reluctant to be separated from his mother.

“It’s okay, Ms. York. You should get going. Have a safe trip home!” After bidding farewell, Jasper turned to run upstairs.

Arissa’s heart tightened as she took a step forward with her gaze fixated on her son.

Benjamin stared at her, feeling that the way she looked at Gavin was rather strange. “Arissa York, how many children do you have?”

“What?” After retracting her gaze, Arissa looked at him in puzzlement.

As he began to close in on her, Arissa subconsciously stepped backward until her back touched the wall.

He placed a hand on the wall and looked down at her condescendingly. “If I didn’t know that you have kids, I’d think that you are trying to steal my son away.”

With his hand on the side of her head, they were in a pretty suggestive position.

Arissa did not dare to breathe heavily. With only a small intake of air, the seductive masculine scent of his body filled her lungs.

She chuckled, trying to hide the fact that her heart was throbbing. “I really want to steal him away, Mr. Graham. Will you let me do so?”

Benjamin responded with a snort. “How dare you!”

She glanced at him, wondering what he was trying to do. “Gavin is such a lovely kid. Anyone who meets him will surely like him, right?”

His gaze still lingered on her. “You’ve met my son before?”

She was bewildered by those words. “Today is the first time we both met.”

“Why does he like you?” Benjamin questioned intensely.

Arissa was struck silent by his inquiry.

She raised an eyebrow when she sensed he was determined to get an answer. “You’ll have to ask your son about that.”

Actually, sometimes, there was no reason why a person would like another person.

It could just be an intuition.

In addition, as mother and son, they naturally felt closer to each other compared to strangers.

Just then, Benjamin stroked her hair and suddenly inched closer.

Seeing him getting nearer, Arissa’s heartbeat accelerated.

She thought he was going to do something to her. However, he just leaned against her shoulder and sniffed her hair.

Her face reddened with embarrassment as she froze on the spot.

“Mr. Graham?” she called out in a stiff tone.

He is so strange. A moment ago, he was being aggressive. Now, he’s acting in such a flirty manner.

All of a sudden, Benjamin straightened his body and walked away with both hands in his pockets.

Arissa was perplexed. What is going on here? Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.

After patting her flushed face, she followed after him.

Looking at the man’s tall and confident figure, she noticed that he was acting as though nothing had happened earlier. She then felt an inexplicable twinge of frustration deep inside.

“Send her home!” Benjamin instructed a bodyguard.

“Yes, Mr. Graham!” After that, the bodyguard held the car door open and bowed. “Please get in, Ms. York.”

Arissa turned to face Benjamin. “Goodbye, Mr. Graham.”

In response, Benjamin nodded slightly.

After casting another glance at him, she entered the car. Following that, the bodyguard shut the door before getting into the driver’s seat.

Seconds later, the car sped away.

In the car, Arissa eyed Benjamin before averting her gaze upward. She lowered the window when she spotted the boy waving at her from upstairs. “Gavin, go inside. It’s dangerous to lean on there. Goodbye!”

“Bye, Ms. York. I’ll miss you!” Jasper moved back slightly as he continued to wave at her.

Arissa’s eyes reddened, for she would miss him as well. She withdrew her gaze only after the boy’s figure was out of sight.

She took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down.

Looking in the rearview mirror, the bodyguard felt a bit strange when he saw she was on the verge of tears.
