Chapter 125 Father Of Your Children Benjamin looked at her. âGavin asked to call you up here for lunch!â
Arissa looked at him with surprise, though her eyes sparkled with delight. âOh, Gavin!â she giggled.
Benjamin found himself furrowing his brows as he looked at Arissaâs bright smile.
âHeâs such a good boy! Why didnât he call me?â Arissa whipped out her phone as if to call him on the spot.
âFinish your meal first!â Benjamin snapped. âYouâve no time to make calls. We must discuss something after this.â
Startled, Arissa eyed the scowling man in front of her.
He was really impossible to figure out.
She set down her phone and started to eat rapidly.
Benjamin shot her a look. âEat slower! Iâm not forcing you to eat, after all.â
Arissa was speechless. She would probably get indigestion dining with him.
âItâs a bit stressful eating with you,â she replied breezily.
Benjamin noticed her plastered-on smile.
It was nothing at all like the bright expression she had when he had mentioned Gavin, and he felt struck by a pang of unhappiness.
Arissa was eating at a normal rate now, at least.
It was honestly a little awkward.
Neither of them spoke to each other.
The office was completely silent except for the sound of them eating.
Arissa suddenly felt very conscious of the sounds of herself eating, so she tried her best not to make any noise.
Her chewing became strained.
Hiccup!
She swallowed, thinking she could stifle the hiccup, but all it did was make her hiccups even more obvious.
Benjamin noticed it and walked around to her back, where he patted her back firmly.
âThanks...â Hiccup!
Benjamin poured her a glass of water.
She felt much better after drinking it.
âYou ate too fast, didnât you?â It almost sounded like Benjamin was teasing her.
Arissa was fed up. âAh, Iâm not used to eating with you! Iâm quite nervous!â
Benjamin shot her a look.
Arissa smiled awkwardly. âThank you, Mr. Graham. The food is delicious.â
She didnât dare to eat more in case she embarrassed herself further.
âHave some more if you like it.â Benjamin sat back down and passed her some more food. âYou might say Iâm a terrible boss who doesnât even let his employees eat!â
Looking at his serious expression, she couldnât help but ask, âIs that really what you think of me, Mr. Graham?â
He shot her a steely gaze.
Arissa blinked.
Moments later, she looked away. âJust ignore that!â
She bowed her head and ate. The food was certainly to her liking.
Gavin really understood her.
The thought made her heart swell.
Benjaminâs attention was fixated entirely on this woman who was simply enjoying her food. Her stunning makeup stood out to him first. He slowly realized that she possessed a certain beauty that stole oneâs breath away.
âDo you know who the father of your children is?â
Arissa froze.
Her heart sped up as she met Benjaminâs gaze. âI donât really know who he is...â
Arissa cast her gaze downward. She hadnât known who their father was before she returned home.
She hadnât even known it was him before they met.
Benjamin gazed at her sharply, and his eyes flashed. âYou havenât thought of finding him?â
âItâs too difficult.â Arissa continued eating.
The next few words tumbled out of her. âWhy havenât you married Danna?â
Benjaminâs brows arched sharply and he uttered, âI donât like being schemed against!â
Eh? She stared blankly at him.
Benjamin continued eating. He didnât elaborate.
Arissa looked at him carefully.
Is it possible that he knows Danna isnât Gavinâs biological mother? If he does, why didnât he look into it?
It was a little suspicious.
âIs she... scheming against you?â she asked quietly.
Benjamin looked up at her. âWould you like to know?â
Arissa gulped. Who wouldnât want to know? She couldnât get her words out.
She smiled awkwardly. âItâs fine not to tell me, Mr. Graham. I wonât press you.â
Benjaminâs gaze was fixed solely on her. âIâll tell you, but only if you tell me who the father of your children is first!â
