Chapter 279: Chapter 280

Chapter 280 Attracted By Your Look And Figure Pulling on the hem of Benjamin’s shirt, Arissa tried to appease him. “I’m telling the truth. I’m not closely acquainted with him. Don’t be angry with me, okay?”

Deep down, she was over the moon. He seems to be jealous of Hector because he cares about me!

Benjamin glanced at the woman who was obviously flattering him. In a split second, his irritation was gone.

“Arissa.” Her heart fluttered when he suddenly called out her name.

“Yes?” She looked at him doubtfully.

Benjamin leaned closer to her and looked intently into her eyes. Arissa held her breath and blinked her eyes in bafflement.

“Do you know what will happen if you dare lie to me?” Benjamin questioned her.

Pursing her lips at the hint of warning in his eyes, she asked him instead, “Don’t you trust me?”

The man continued to gaze at her without opening his mouth.

Unable to take his intense gaze, Arissa turned away and uttered sheepishly, “I’m not interested in that kind of man. I won’t simply accept any man just because he confesses his love to me.”

Benjamin’s eyes lit up at that, but he asked placidly, “Then which type of man are you interested in?”

“Needless to say, it must be the kind of man like you. You’re the one I fell for, Graham!” Arissa blushed instantly upon saying that.

Hearing that, the driver’s hand slipped, causing the car to swerve slightly.

Benjamin glared at him in an instant.

“I’m so sorry, Mr. Graham!” the driver apologized to him immediately and focused on the road. He did not dare to eavesdrop on their conversation again. My, my, seems like Ms. York is good at flattering Mr. Graham! How bold of her! But surprisingly, he doesn’t mind her teasing at all!

“What do you like about me?” Benjamin asked as he continued to gaze at her.

Arissa was dumbfounded. Huh? Why is he insisting on asking me this?

She continued to butter him up by replying, “Well, I like your good look, your figure, and everything!”

There was an unmissable twinkle in Benjamin’s eyes as he snorted. “Hmph! You’re very good at flattering me, huh?”

Heaving a silent sigh of relief, a bright smile surfaced on Arissa’s face. Phew! He’s obviously not easy to please! If it wasn’t because of my eloquence, he’ll still show me that sullen look of his!

She darted a look at him again. “If you don’t trust me, why are you still willing to teach that woman a lesson for my sake?”

Benjamin cast her a look before leaning against the back of the car seat. “I won’t let anyone humiliate my woman.”

Arissa’s heart flinched at his words. So, he helped me because of his pride, and not because he trusted me?

“Do you mean to say that as long as they’re your woman, you’ll protect them no matter who they are?” Arissa asked with a hint of disappointment in her tone.

Benjamin sensed something awry in her tone and turned to look at her. His heart wrenched when he saw that she seemed to be down in the dumps all of a sudden.

Knitting his brows in bafflement, he could not help but wonder. Did she misunderstand something?

“Not everyone is qualified to be my woman, you know.” The words escaped from his lips abruptly.

Huh? Arissa looked at him in disbelief.

Benjamin turned to look ahead again. Regardless of how well he was bottling up his emotions, a hint of awkwardness flashed across his face.

Scrutinizing his countenance, Arissa’s heart could not resist leaping with joy. So he does like me, right? If not, such an omnipotent man like him wouldn’t have let me stay by his side. Besides, he is willing to settle a score with my ex on behalf of my children and me. I’m sure he won’t be bothered with that if he doesn’t have any feelings for me!

Grinning blissfully, she uttered coyly, “It’s a pleasure to be Mr. Graham’s woman.”

Benjamin’s eyes glistened as he cast a look at the broad smile on her face. How could her mood change in the blink of an eye?

He snorted. “But you’re reluctant before this, weren’t you?”

“You’ve misunderstood me. Haha! I was just dumbfounded back then. There’s no reluctance whatsoever. It’s a blessing to be able to stay by your side, Mr. Graham. I promise to never go against your will!” Arissa tried to reassure the man.

Rubbing her cheeks to ease the pain, she looked at him quizzically and whined, “Why did you pinch me?”

“I just feel like it,” Benjamin replied matter-of-factly in all seriousness.

Utterly speechless, Arissa’s lips twitched. Just feel like it? Can I kick him out of the car with the excuse that he looks annoying to me then?
