Chapter 811 This Is My Fiancée Sensing an air of hostility, Arissa looked over her shoulder and caught a glimpse of Rosetta turning away to entertain her guests. Benjamin, who noticed her reaction, asked, âWhat are you looking at?â
Throwing him a glance, she inquired softly, âWhy did you really bring me here?â
Benjaminâs eyes darkened. âFor the delicious feast, of course.â Arissa, mouth twitching, scoffed, âDo I look like Iâm desperate for food?â
Curling his lips slightly, Benjamin whispered into her ear, âOf course not, but I still want to bring you here.â Flattered by his words, Arissa turned to look him in the eye. âDid you bring me here to show me off to Rosetta?â
Benjamin cocked his brow. âThatâs part of the reason too.â Faced with his honesty, the niggling she felt at the back of her mind gradually disappeared.
âWhat else?â
âI also plan to show Mrs. Graham off to the many familiar faces here,â Benjamin suggested in a gentle tone as he wrapped his arm around her waist.
At the same time, he swept a threatening gaze around when he noticed the curious looks that had fallen upon Arissa. Consequently, Arissaâs lips couldnât help but widen broadly. Is Benjamin implicitly declaring our status?
âAre you happy now?â
Benjamin gave her a passionate stare, causing her to clear her throat awkwardly. âIâm all right.â An amused glint flashed across Benjaminâs eyes.
âBenjamin!â Aaron came over and greeted them with a smile. Turning around to look at the groom, Benjamin got to his feet and remarked, âCongratulations on your wedding!â Aaron burst into hearty laughter. âWhereâs my present?â
âIt will be arriving soon!â Benjamin reassured him.
âAaron, Iâm sure no one is as shameless as you to ask for your own wedding gift. Besides, itâs not like youâre not aware of how busy Benjamin is.
Where would he find the time to get you a present?â Kingsley teased from his chair. âHow am I going to get it if I donât ask for it?â
Aaron had barely responded with a grin when he was briefly stunned by the sight of the unfamiliar face sitting beside Benjamin. âAnd who might this be?â
âLet me introduce you.â When Kingsley pointed to Arissa, he noticed the glare shot at him by Benjamin, who then introduced her himself.
âThis is my fiancée.â
Aaron, together with Arissa, were stunned. Kingsley, Shaun, and Jonathan were all equally flabbergasted but quickly curled their lips into a smile.
What a way for Benjamin to introduce her. This was the first time they saw him acknowledge any womanâs relationship to him, and it was indeed a sight to behold.
âHello, Iâm Arissa York.â Arissa got to her feet and wished the groom, âCongratulations on your wedding!â
Given that she had come for the food and so hadnât brought a gift, she couldnât help but feel embarrassed about it.
âThank you. Iâm Aaron Adams. Iâm glad that you could make it,â Aaron responded cordially, to which Arissa nodded.
Glancing in Benjaminâs direction, Aaron decided against saying what was on his mind. He subsequently took his leave after entertaining them briefly.
âPlease enjoy yourselves. I have to go get ready as the wedding is about to begin.â
âOkay.â Benjamin nodded.
As Kingsley and Shaun were part of the groomâs entourage, they, too, went off to prepare themselves.
âArissa, please enjoy yourselves. Weâll be going off for a bit.â
Both of them took their leave from Arissa before leaving the table.
âAll right,â Arissa replied in acknowledgment as her eyes scanned the surroundings.
When her eyes met with Rosettaâs, the latter averted her gaze in disdain.
Nonetheless, Arissa simply chuckled and took a sip of water.
Noticing the exchange between the ladies, Benjamin looked over and saw Rosetta staring daggers at Arissa. He narrowed his eyes in warning.
When Rosetta suddenly met Benjaminâs piercing gaze, her heart twinged in pain at the look in it.
Gritting her teeth, she turned away in dismay.
âRosetta!â Margaret prodded her daughter when she noticed the latter losing her composure.
âMom, why did Benjamin bring a woman here to spite me?â
Margaret looked over to Benjaminâs table before returning her attention to her daughter.

Rosetta felt a jolt through her body. âBut I still love him! How could he?â
Margaretâs heart ached as she saw how indignant her daughter felt.
âBenjamin isnât any ordinary man. During your time overseas, he would have surely contacted you if he had any feelings for you. Anyway, donât forget to mind your behavior as a daughter of the Adams family.â
