Chapter 335
“Quick, get that brat back here!” Benjamin said excitedly.
The butler hurriedly presented the medicine to Benjamin and gently advised, “Mr. Hayes, please take your medicine first. Try not to get too worked up.”
Benjamin’s cough wasn’t serious enough to trouble Aria, But ever since the birthday party got canceled, he hadn’t found the right opportunity to introduce his grandson to her. Therefore, he didn’t want to miss this chance.
A tickle crept up his throat, and Benjamin covered his mouth with a handkerchief, starting to cough again.
The butler grew worried. “Sir, why don’t we go to the hospital, just to be safe?”
Benjamin regained his composure and waved his hand dismissively. “It’s nothing serious. I know my own body well enough. Don’t worry.”
Benjamin added with a smile, “Tomorrow I can finally start taking the medicine Aria prescribed. I’ll recover faster.”
The butler felt slightly relieved at the thought of Aria’s visit the following day.
“Bring me my phone,” Benjamin urged. “I’ll call that brat myself.”
“Alright, sir,” the butler said helplessly.
Sebastian received the call while on his way to a private club. “Grandpa? What’s it?”
Benjamin got straight to the point. “Come home immediately. Stay the night. And don’t go anywhere tomorrow.”
Sebastian asked, puzzled, “Why can’t I go out?”
“Aria is coming tomorrow,” Benjamin replied.
Sebastian choked. “Grandpa, you still haven’t given up on that?”
Hearing Sebastian’s reluctant tone, Benjamin felt a surge of anger in his chest. “You should count yourself lucky to even know Aria. She’s way out of your league.”
There was almost no chance Aria would marry into the Hayes family, but Benjamin was genuinely fond of her and simply wanted the two young people to meet and just become friends.
Among the younger generation in the Hayes family, only Sebastian was of the right age. The others were either too old or too young.
“Right, right, I’m not good enough,” Sebastian snorted. “Then why bother setting us up in the first place?”
“Set you up? Keep dreaming!” Benjamin snapped. “It’s just an introduction. You’re nowhere near good enough to date her.”
‘Then why call me back at all? Grandpa is such a schemer. As if he thinks I can’t see right through his little schemes,‘ Sebastian grumbled inwardly.
So he said, “Grandpa, I already have plans.”
“You’d better be back tonight, or don’t ever come back again,” Benjamin said sternly.
The butler added respectfully, “Mr. Sebastian Hayes, Ms. Saxon is coming to check on Mr. Benjamin Hayes‘ health tomorrow.”
Sebastian was shocked. “Grandpa, is your cough acting up again? You should go to the hospital. What can Aria possibly do? I’ll come back now and take you to the hospital.”
Just as Sebastian was about to turn the car around, Benjamin said with annoyance, “I’m not going to the hospital. Aria will come to check on me. Finish your business and get your ass back here.”

Hearing his grandfather’s vigorous voice, Sebastian was a lot less worried and reluctantly said, “Alright, I’ll be home tonight”
Standing beside her car, Aria stared at the location pin White Fox had sent her.
