    Chapter 698 You Did That On Purpose


    Arissa nced at him before opening up the glovepartment in front of her. Her heart fluttered as


    she noticed that all the medication inside there were brand new.


    He didn’t prepare all this just for me, did he? At that very moment, Benjamin’s voice rang out from


    beside her. “Ethen reces them timely, just in case I ever need them.”

    With that, Arissa felt all the joy inside her die out.


    “Oh.” It was evident that she was not in good spirits.


    Benjamin took a brief look at her, his eyes shing when he noticed that she looked a little


    disappointed.


    “Are you upset?”


    The woman shot him a nce before turning to look out the window. Then, she grabbed the ointment


    from inside her purse and applied it to her wound.


    Benjamin furrowed his brows. “Why didn’t you disinfect your lip?”


    “It’s just a tiny wound. There’s no need for that.”


    Arissa capped the tube of ointment and tossed it back into her purse.


    He darted a nce at her before shifting his focus back on the road.


    The two remained silent for the rest of the journey.


    As soon as they arrived, Arissa alighted the vehicle on her own, not bothering to wait for Benjamin to


    open the door for her.


    She observed her surroundings.


    The man came over to hold her hand, but she avoided him instinctively.


    He tried again and managed to grab her hand firmly that time around.


    Then, he led her into the restaurant.


    “Wee, Mr. Graham!”


    Benjamin inclined his head as a greeting before walking into the ce. It seemed like he was a regr


    there.


    Arissa eyed him briefly before checking out the surroundings again.


    “Why were you upset?” the man asked suddenly.


    She froze for a split second and answered with a pout, “I wasn’t.”


    Benjamin tilted his head to look at her. His gaze was so sharp that it was as though he could read a


    person’s mind.


    Then, he looked back up. “Those medications were for you,” he said softly.


    Arissa turned to him, her eyes widened in astonishment.


    Seeing the hint of amusement in his eyes, she looked away swiftly. “But you said it was Ethen who


    prepared them!”


    Benjamin chuckled. “I didn’t think you’d care that much.”


    The woman red at him in embarrassment. “Then why didn’t you just tell me the truth? You did that


    on purpose!”


    He raised an eyebrow. “Are you going to keep scowling like that? It’s going to look bad on us if


    someone else sees you.”


    With that, she quickly looked away, smiling discreetly.


    Noticing her lips curving upward, Benjamin could not help but smile too.


    It took only a second for Arissa to regain herposure, and she wore a professional and courteous


    smile on her face.


    The man frowned at that sight. “You don’t have to smile like that.”


    “But I have to give whoever I’m meeting a good first impression,” she replied, giving him a sidelong


    nce.


    Her voice sounded so sweet that he just could not find any fault with her.


    “There’s no need to be nervous. You’ve already met him.”


    “Who is it?” The woman grew curious.


    “He’s already here.”


    Benjamin followed an attendant into a private room while still holding Arissa’s hand.


    Jonathan was already seated inside there, waiting for them.


    Upon seeing them, he got up and nodded at Arissa.


    “Hello, Ms. York.”


    “Mr. Patterson?” she eximed.


    It never crossed her mind that they would be meeting him.


    Jonathan smiled faintly. “I’ve been waiting here for a while.”


    Benjamin nced at him before leading Arissa to a chair and handing her the menu.


    When she was done ordering their food, Jonathan spoke to her.


    “Ms. York, I need your help adding some details to Ms. Adams’ case.”


    The woman nodded. “What is it?”


    “Is your memory of the time she took the children away still foggy? Because if it is, we still have to be


    consistent. Can you be certain that she had taken two children with her—”


    “I’ve regained my memories, Mr. Patterson.” Arissa cut him off.


    Hearing that, Jonathan turned to Benjamin. “Why didn’t you say so earlier?”


    “You didn’t ask,” thetter retorted.


    Jonathan was bereft of words.


    Arissa gazed at both men. “I’m so sorry, Mr. Patterson!” she apologized.


    “It’s fine. It doesn’t affect anything. In fact, it’s great that you remember.”


    Thewyer then cautioned her about areas to look out for, lest she fall into their opponents’ trap.
