Chapter 714 Do Not Infuriate Me
Benjamin snorted. “Mood swings are common among elderlies. You don’t have to mind him.” Arissa was
stumped. Why didn’t he say this previously, then?
“That’s easy for you to say because you weren’t there. He was crying his eyes out in sorrow!” “Have you never
considered the possibility that he’s doing that on purpose?” Benjamin scoffed.
Arissa was taken aback. She gazed at him in disbelief. “How is that possible?”
“You don’t understand my dad.” Benjamin frowned. “He is quite adept at putting on exaggerated acts whenever
necessary.”
Arissa was utterly shocked. She could never convince herself to believe that Darius would behave like that.
Sensing her doubts, Benjamin reminded, “Don’t bother to entertain him next time. He’ll be fine if no one pays him
any attention.”
She looked at him. “Don’t you ever think he may be truly upset?”
“You don’t believe me? Fine. You’ll see his true colors in due time,” he uttered indifferently.
Benjamin did not believe Darius was genuinely sad. After all, similar incidents had happened too many times.
Arissa stole a glance at him before asking in curiosity, “Were you mad at him or me in the afternoon?”

Arissa was surprised. He was mad because of this?
She looked away and said, “Aren’t you unwilling to register our marriage too?”
Benjamin arched his brow. He turned her head to meet his eyes and fixated his piercing gaze on her.
“I’ve never said that to you.”
Arissa’s heart began to race. “In that case, you…”
He scratched on her nose with his slender finger affectionately before saying, “I’ll bring you there tomorrow.”
What?
Arissa was dumbfounded.
Benjamin turned to face the front and started the car to drive back home.
Arissa stared at him in a daze. She only regained her senses after the car moved for some time. Where is he
bringing me and why?
She stammered, “A-Are you bringing me to register our marriage?”
“Am I not allowed to?” Benjamin glanced at her in a proud and overbearing demeanor.
Arissa’s heart leaped into her throat as contentment surged within her.
He said he’s bringing me to register our marriage. He said it himself.
“There’s no need to be in such a hurry, actually.”
“What did you say?”
Benjamin suddenly slammed his foot on the car brake and turned to glare at her.
Arissa cowered in her seat and looked timidly at Benjamin, who was enraged.
“Do not infuriate me, Arissa York!” he growled.
She was stunned. He’s mad just because I uttered a sentence.
Her lips curved upward uncontrollably into a smile.
She chirped, “Benjamin, don’t you know how to communicate nicely? You have such a short temper. It’s no wonder
no one wants to marry you!”
Benjamin’s handsome face darkened at the sight of her cheerful expression.
“Isn’t it great that I’m saving the spot for you?”
“Pfft!”
Arissa hurriedly covered her mouth when she sensed his rising fury.
“Well, thank you for that then, Mr. Graham.” Her mood brightened up. “Hmm… But I seem to recall someone telling
me to stop my wishful thinking previously.”
“Arissa!” Benjamin snapped. Hostility resonated in his deep and baritone voice.
Arissa immediately shut her mouth. On second thought, she decided it was wiser for her not to provoke him.

Benjamin snorted before continuing the drive home.
Arissa leaned against the back of the seat, watching Benjamin contentedly as he focused on driving the car.
“Benjamin, do you like me?” She blushed.
He pursed his lips in silence.
Arissa grinned.
Benjamin glanced at the rearview mirror. His eyes gleamed at the sight of her beaming reflection.
Arissa rolled down the car window, enjoying the night breeze brushing against her skin while taking in the scenery
outside.
She dozed off before they reached home.
Noticing that she had fallen asleep, Benjamin swiftly rolled up the car window, parked the vehicle on the side of the
road, and helped her to lower the back of the seat.
Then, he covered Arissa with his coat before resuming the drive back to the Graham residence.
Arissa was still sleeping soundly when they arrived home.
After waiting for a while and coming to the conclusion that she wasn’t going to wake up anytime soon, Benjamin got
out of the vehicle and opened the door to the front passenger seat.
He bent down to unbuckle her seat belt before gently carrying her in his arms. Then, he turned around and walked
into the house.
