Chapter 786 Teach Me A Lesson Benjamin kept his eye on her, his gaze deep and somewhat mystifying. âGet over here and wipe my back!â
Arissa twitched her mouth slightly as she glared at the man in disbelief. Argh! How much more shameless can he get? I canât believe he wants me to wipe his back for him!
âIn your dreams!â she huffed before hightailing it out of the room, her heart still pounding in her chest. Quickly, she gathered her laptop and bag and walked toward her room.
Benjamin furrowed his brows but said nothing more as he dropped his pants and stepped into the bathroom. Once she was back in the comfort of her room, Arissa buckled down and started working.
Meanwhile, the joyous shouts and laughter from the six children rang out from time to time. As soon as he had finished showering, Benjamin promptly walked out to the balcony and looked downstairs.
After spending a few minutes watching Darius and the children romp happily around in the garden, he changed into a fresh set of clothes and stepped out of his room.
Following his instincts, Benjamin turned on his heel and headed toward Arissaâs room.
Sure enough, he found her so immersed in her work that she didnât even realize he had entered the room.
Shortly after, Benjamin was standing behind her and peering over her shoulder. The next second, he leaned down and pointed to an area on the document. âThe data here is wrong.â
Arissa nearly jumped out of her skin as she turned around and found herself staring at the face of her surprise visitor. âW-When did you come in?â
Benjamin studied the shocked expression on her face and harrumphed softly.
âIâve been here for a while.â
With him standing so close to her, Arissa could feel his warm breath tickling her skin whenever he spoke.
On top of that, Benjaminâs freshly showered fragrance was so overwhelmingly enticing that she felt her heart pounding away again.
She quickly averted her gaze and shifted aside.
âWhat do you want, Graham?â
Benjamin gazed intently at Arissa and smirked when he saw the blush creeping up her cheeks. âDidnât I tell you not to work overtime?â
âIâm not used to leaving work unfinished.â
âYou want the kids to teach me a lesson? Is that it?â Benjamin asked as he casually leaned against the table with his hands in his pockets.
Arissa stole a glance at the man, and even she had to admit he looked incredibly charming.
âOh? Are the kids capable of doing that?â
âGavin and Zachary have been waiting for a chance to get back at me,â Benjamin scoffed. âWhat do you think?â
Upon hearing that, Arissa couldnât help but chuckle inwardly.
âPut your work away!â Benjamin ordered.
Arissa, however, remained in her chair and stared back with pleading eyes. âThereâs only a bit more to go. Iâll be done with it soon!â
âArissa York, can you be more obedient?â
Seeing how furious Benjamin was, Arissa flinched. Dear God! Heâs such an emotional man.
âAre you ignoring my orders?â Benjamin added as he pinched her cheeks.
Arissa blushed and quickly slapped his hand away. âIâd appreciate it if you could move your ass away, Graham!â
Benjamin raised his brows and shot her another glance before doing as instructed.
With that, Arissa hurriedly gathered her documents and put them neatly away.
Meanwhile, Benjamin had lain on her bed, feeling relaxed as he placed his hands behind his head and stared at her.
When Arissa finished tidying up her table and turned around, she met the manâs piercing gaze.
âIâm going down,â she mumbled.
Hmph! Since Iâm not allowed to work, Iâll spend my time with the kids.
The More the Merrier ï¤Chapter 785 EX-husband Groveling to Me ï¤Chapter 730 Let Victor Shoot For You Seeing that Benjamin didnât respond, she shot him another look. âAre you coming?â
To her surprise, Benjamin walked up to her and pulled her into a hug.
Not knowing what he was up to, Arissa gave him a puzzled look.
âYes. Letâs find Gavin and the rest,â Benjamin replied gently.
Arissa smiled. âI suppose you seldom spent time with the little one in the past?â
âYes,â Benjamin said as he glanced at her. âIâve always been busy at work.â
Upon hearing that, Arissa furrowed her brows. No wonder Gavin always said his father was busy. The poor boy has missed out on so much fun!
Realizing she was feeling sorry for her son, Benjamin hurriedly explained, âBut there were times when Iâd bring him along to the office!â
Almost immediately, Arissa conjured up images of Benjamin bringing Gavin to work. When she imagined the boy wailing his head off and Benjamin frantically trying to coax him, she couldnât help but burst out laughing.
