Chapter 807: Chapter 808

Chapter 808 My Lipstick Arissa did not feel it appropriate to go to the hospital since Benjamin had already informed her in advance of the banquet, so she went upstairs to get some rest.

She did not realize the stylist’s arrival until Edwin woke her up. She hurriedly took a shower before the stylist pampered her with all kinds of spa treatments. Then, the stylist proceeded to do Arissa’s hair.

Arissa hastily answered the phone when her children contacted her. “Mommy, we are going to Great-grandaunt’s place now. Enjoy your date with Daddy,” Gavin said to her.

She was rendered momentarily speechless. “I’m attending a banquet with your daddy. We are not going on a date!” “Hehe. That’s the same, Mommy.”

Jasper guffawed. “Go out and have fun, Mommy. We’ll keep Great-grandaunt company.” Zachary’s voice sounded.

“Okay. All right. Please don’t run around when you all are there, and be sure to spend some quality time with your great-grandaunt,” Arissa reminded the kids before hanging up the call.

After that, she concentrated on letting the stylist do her makeup. The preening process took two hours to complete. She picked up the pink gown placed neatly on the bed and compared the size to her figure before putting it on.

The zip on the back of the gown was slightly out of her reach. She stretched her hand to pull the zipper, but her attempts were unfruitful.

Suddenly, someone grasped the zipper and helped her pull it up.

Arissa turned around in shock. Then, she grinned when she saw Benjamin had returned. “You’re back?”

He stared intently at her gorgeous face and replied in an undertone, “Yes.”

Arissa blinked at him. “I’m ready. You should get changed.”

Benjamin wrapped his arms around her waist. “There’s no hurry.”

Sensing his piercing gaze fixed on her, she flushed. “What banquet are we attending?”

He regarded her with an intense look as he thought she appeared extraordinarily beautiful when wearing makeup.

“A wedding banquet.” He leaned in to kiss her.

Arissa dodged the kiss and stared at him in surprise. “A wedding banquet?”

Benjamin smiled faintly and teased her, “It’s not our wedding banquet.”

She glared at him. “I know that! Who would get married in a pink gown?”

“One of my friends is getting married.”

Again, he moved closer to her, grabbed the back of her head, and kissed her passionately.

Benjamin lost himself in the moment as he took deep inhales of Arissa’s captivating scent.

He finally let go of her when she began gasping for air.

Arissa protested in embarrassment, “My lipstick!”

He pinched her face and uttered with his deep and seductive voice, “I’ll help you reapply the lipstick later.”

His response made her blush even more.

Benjamin turned on his heels and went to take a shower.

Arissa sat on the bed while waiting for him. Using the opportunity, she called Mary and chatted with the latter for some time before hanging up the phone.

Seeing that Benjamin had yet to come out from the bathroom, she tried contacting Bradley, but the call was not connected.

Then, she directly called Rick. Arissa became even more baffled when Rick informed her that Bradley was still in Rutaceae Village.

“Mr. Griffin, I heard Tim mention he used to work for a living in the village. What are his usual income sources, and how was his living condition with my Grandaunt Mary?”

Arissa seized the opportunity to sound Rick out.

When Benjamin exited the bathroom, he saw her talking on the phone with Rick.

Benjamin shouted, “Arissa, help me select a necktie!”

“Tim did farm work most of the time. The villagers would summon him and pay him to do odd jobs such as planting rice seedlings, farming, and weeding,” Rick replied.

Arissa’s eyes gleamed. She thought those jobs were still acceptable. “I heard he carried a basket and traveled up the hill with the other children at the village. What do they do there?”

“Hurry up, Arissa!” Benjamin urged.

“I suppose they went to the hill to forage mushrooms. Some people are looking to purchase these mushrooms. I think they also searched for medicinal herbs on the hill.”

She let out a sigh of relief after listening to Rick. “Thank you, Mr. Griffin. I have some things to attend to, so I’ll hang up now.”

With that, she quickly hung up the phone and walked out of the dressing room with Benjamin’s necktie.
