Chapter 917 Why Did You Keep Me In The Dark Once more, Benjamin pinched Arissaâs cheek. The excitement continued coursing through him for a long time.
Reflexively dodging, Arissa burrowed into his arms.
Benjamin looked down at her peaceful countenance and gritted her teeth. Sheâll be getting it from me!
He then pinched her nose, only to see her dodging and nestling into his embrace again.
In a flash, his desire to tease her vanished into thin air. His thin lips curved upward slightly.
Propping his head up with a hand, he gazed at the little girl sleeping beside Arissa. Jesse smacked her lips from time to time, looking indescribably cute.
He reached out and stroked her face with a hint of an indulgent smile playing on his lips.
It turns out that Iâve got a daughter.
A proud smile manifested on his face and remained there for some time.
He didnât even know how long passed before he finally fell asleep.
When Benjamin woke up the next day, Arissa and the children were no longer in bed.
He glanced at the time, only to see that he had awakened an hour later than usual.
After washing up, he went downstairs. At the sight of Arissa and the children helping her out in the kitchen, he went over in huge strides.
âGood morning, kids!â
âGood morning, Daddy!â
âGood morning, Mr. Graham!â
The six children greeted Benjamin in return, one after another.
An indulgent smile bloomed on Benjaminâs face, and he stroked their heads.
Then, he walked right up to Arissa and wrapped a long arm around her.
Leaning down, he planted a kiss on her. âGood morning, Honey!â
Arissaâs face flamed. âGood morning!â
All the children regarded them with bright eyes and smiles on their faces.
âMr. Graham kissed Mommy again!â Jasper quipped.
Mortification deluged Arissa, and she put some distance between them.
Conversely, Benjamin wasnât embarrassed at all. He swept his gaze over Jasper. âIs it against the law?â
In response, Jasper chuckled dryly.
âStill, you canât do so in front of us. How shameless!â Zachary interjected with a harrumph.
Benjamin chortled softly. âYou can go somewhere else.â
The six children were rendered speechless, the corners of their mouths twitching.
How did Daddy become so shameless?
Just then, Arissa bumped Benjaminâs arm lightly.
Immediately, Benjamin swung his gaze over and stared at her.
Meeting his scorching and unfathomable gaze, Arissa blinked, feeling somewhat bemused.
âCome with me!â
Benjamin took her hand and started walking out.
âHey, Iâm in the middle of preparing breakfast!â
Arissa tried to stop him from dragging her out but to no avail.
The eyes of all six children followed them intently, their curiosity piqued.
Benjamin pulled Arissa along until they reached a corner. Blocking the childrenâs curious gazes, he pinned her against the wall with an arm.
Arissaâs heart skipped a few beats. As the manâs enthralling pheromones drifted into her nostrils, an enticing shade of scarlet tinted her cheeks.
âWhat are you doing?â
She eyed him dubiously, only to find things all the more mystifying at his indecipherable expression.
Leaning down, Benjamin locked his eyes on her.
âYouâve been lying to me long enough, Arissa York!â
Arissaâs eyes went wide at the manâs accusation.
On instinct, she countered, âHow have I been lying to you?â
Benjaminâs thin lips lifted a fraction, curving into a devilish smirk.
In a low voice, he questioned, âWhat do you think?â
A trace of guilt slithered into Arissa when she met his enigmatic gaze that seemingly saw right through her.
âWhat exactly are you trying to say?â
Considering the suddenness of his question, she had no idea what he was referring to.
Narrowing his eyes, Benjamin continued staring at her. He brushed his long and slender fingers across her face.
However, Arissa dodged.
âSo, youâre hiding more than one thing from me?â
âWhat am I hiding from you? Spit it out!â
His interrogation had Arissa wholly confounded.
Gritting his teeth, Benjamin leaned close to her ear and stated in a deep voice, âJesse is a girl. Why did you keep me in the dark?â
Arissaâs eyes went wide in astonishment. Ah, so he was referring to this.

Benjamin narrowed his eyes dangerously. âWere you not planning to tell me until I found out about it myself?â
Swallowing, Arissa beamed at him ingratiatingly.
