Chapter 761 A Feast For His Eyes Sensing Benjaminâs scorching gaze, Arissa felt her heart racing. Thump! Thump!
She could almost feel her heart collide against her rib cage as the deafening sound echoed in her ears. Benjamin couldnât help pinching her cheek with his slender, bony fingers.
Arissaâs beautiful eyes turned and glanced at him. The manâs amused and playful expression only served to make her blush more. âGraham, it hurts!â
she yelped.
A look flashed across Benjaminâs eyes before he offered, âOh. Iâll rub on it for you.â With that, he started massaging the spot where he pinched her.
However, Arissa avoided his touch, the blush on her cheeks extending to her ears.
âYour face is very red,â Benjamin pointed out. He was quite pleased with himself as he took note of her bright red cheeks.
She felt awkward and boldly retorted, âHow can my face not turn red when youâre touching me like that? Any straight woman will have the same reaction.â
Benjamin arched an eyebrow. His gaze, which resembled a bottomless abyss, seemed to emanate a mysterious charm that captivated people.
âBut I wonât react like that if you were my guy best friend,â Arissa added.
The corner of Benjaminâs lips twitched when he heard that.
âDo you have a guy best friend?â
Arissa glanced at him in amusement. âOf course! Everyone has friends of the opposite gender!â
Benjaminâs expression fell as he heard that.
âIf thatâs the case, do you have a lot of male friends?â
Alas, Arissa continued enjoying her supper instead of explaining herself.
Benjamin kept his eyes fixated on her and felt his displeasure grow increasingly intense as the silence dragged on.
âIâm done.â
Arissa promptly stood up to clear the table.
Benjamin spoke up. âYou can leave these to the housekeeper.â
Her eyes flitted over to him before she said, âThatâs not necessary. I can do it.â
In minutes, she kept the dishes and even wiped the table while she was at it.
Meanwhile, Benjamin sat in his chair and watched as she busied herself.
âAre you too bored?â
Arissa shot him a look. âI thought you wanted me to do this. Plus, Iâll feel bad for staying here without helping with anything.â
Benjamin pursed his lips and uttered in a low voice, âYou donât have to do this next time. If you want to help, you could make some food for me instead.â
She looked at him, smiling ear to ear. âVery well. Iâm holding you to your word!â
Benjamin nodded and hummed a reply before standing up. With his hands in his pockets, he tilted his head, gesturing to the stairs. âLetâs go upstairs.â
Arissa chirped cheerfully, âComing!â
She quickly hopped into the kitchen to wash her hands before rushing back out.
His lips curved to form an inconspicuous smile when he saw how happy she was.
Arissa linked arms with him and asked, âWould you like to take a bath first? Or should I?â
The look in Benjaminâs eyes softened as he looked at the womanâs bright expression. âYou can go first.â
Delighted, Arissa loosened her grip around Benjaminâs arm and hopped up the stairs.
âOkay, Iâll be going first!â
He watched as her figure disappeared from his sight, feeling somewhat empty.
Slowly, he trudged upstairs behind her.

She said gratefully, âEdwin, you should head to bed too. You donât have to stay here to watch over them.â
âAll right, Mrs. Graham. Iâll head to my room in a bit.â Edwin nodded and smiled.
She returned the smile and greeted him goodnight before heading to the masterâs bedroom for a bath.
When Benjamin entered the room, he could hear the sound of running water in the bathroom.
He lay down in bed with his head resting on his hands. His gaze subconsciously traveled to the bathroom, and his mouth felt dry, causing him to swallow every once in a while.
It did not take long for Arissa to finish washing up and emerge from the bathroom.
When she saw Benjamin in bed, she urged, âYour turn. Iâve got the bathtub ready for you.â
As she said that, he kept his eyes locked on her figure. Though the pajamas she was wearing werenât revealing at all, he still thought she looked exceptionally alluring. His eyes darkened as his lustful desires grew.
âCome here!â
His low and gruff voice made Arissaâs heart skip a beat.
She reckoned he was either angry or trying to imply something by bellowing that command.
