Chapter 962 Meeting His Parent Officially âI did,â came Benjaminâs reply. He couldnât keep his gaze off her exquisitely made-up face. Her luscious red lips were especially captivating. He felt his heart racing at the sight of it.
Placing his hands on her face, he forced her to look at him before pressing his lips to hers.
âMmph!â Arissa was surprised when he suddenly leaned in to kiss her. Her eyes widened as she met his, and her heart pounded wildly in her chest.
âClose your eyes.â Benjamin paused to remind her before he continued kissing her. Arissaâs mind went blank at his passionate kiss.
Benjamin only released her when he was satisfied. He gently pressed his forehead against hers, his warm breaths caressing her cheeks in an intimate gesture.
Arissaâs cheeks were flushed red. She inhaled deeply, taking in his captivating scent that made her heart flutter uncontrollably.
Benjamin lowered his eyes to stare at her, his voice hoarse yet seductive. âYour heart is racing.â
Arissa felt her cheeks burn. âIsnât yours racing?â
She placed her hand on his muscular chest, feeling the rapid beating of his heart.
Pleased, she shot him a smug look. âYour heart is pounding just as hard as mine!â
Benjaminâs gaze darkened with desire. He glanced at her tiny hand on her chest and swallowed a lump in his throat.
Unable to control his urge, he gave her lips a peck.
Arissa blinked. Seeing that he was about to continue, she swiftly dodged out of his reach.
âWeâre still in the office!â
Benjaminâs gaze burned passionately as he pinched her cheek. âSo what?â
Arissa was at a loss for words.
Right then, Benjaminâs phone rang.
âYour phone is ringing!â Arissa shoved him aside.
Benjamin couldnât tear his gaze away from her as her flushed appearance seemed even more attractive to him.
âYour phone is ringing,â Arissa repeated. Her cheeks burned when she realized he was still staring at her.
Benjamin raised his brow and got to his feet. He retrieved his phone to see that it was a call from Darius.
âDad...â
Hearing that, Arissa lifted her head to regard him.
Benjamin was still staring at her intently, so she quickly averted her gaze and felt her ears turn red.
âOkay. I know.â
After ending the call, Benjamin said to Arissa, âDad wants us to have dinner at home tonight.â
âOkay.â Arissa nodded, trying to contain the anxiety that was beginning to swell inside her. âWhy did Old Mr. Graham suddenly ask to have dinner with us?â
Benjamin returned to his seat and glanced at her. âIâm not sure.â
Arissa was annoyed. Didnât he ask about the reason?
She was speechless as she remembered how brief the phone conversation was.
âWell, what does Old Mr. Graham like?â
Previously, she didnât need to bring anything to dinner with Darius when her relationship with Benjamin wasnât official yet. Now that they were together, however, things had changed.
She would be meeting his parent officially, so it would be rude not to bring any gifts with her.
âGifts for him?â Benjamin surveyed her.
Arissa nodded. âYes. I canât just go empty-handed, can I?â
Benjamin chuckled. âAre you nervous?â
âCanât I be nervous?â Arissa felt defeated to realize that he had seen through her.
The More the Merrier ï¤Chapter 961 EX-husband Groveling to Me ï¤Chapter 730 Let Victor Shoot For You An affectionate smile played on Benjaminâs lips. âDonât worry about that. Iâll ask Ethen to prepare it.â
âItâs only more sincere if I buy a gift myself,â Arissa muttered under her breath.
It wasnât nice to pretend that she had purchased the gift when it was actually paid for by him. She felt it was not respectful to be so superficial toward their elders.
Benjamin fixed his gaze on her and let out a hearty laugh. âWhy donât we head to the mall after weâre done with lunch?â
Arissaâs eyes lit up. âYou havenât told me about Old Mr. Grahamâs preferences.â
âI donât know,â Benjamin replied flatly.
Arissa was rendered speechless.
âAre you even his son?â she demanded. How could he not know what his father likes?
Benjamin cast a glance at her. âWhat he likes depends on the person who gives it to him.â
Huh?
Arissa was confused.
