Chapter 327 Do You Want Me To Kiss You
Just when they were briefly delighted, the children realized something suddenly.
“Mommy, it’s the weekend today. We don’t have to go to school!”
Caught by surprise, Arissa beamed. “Huh, you’re right. I almost forgot!”
She assumed that it was Monday after seeing Benjamin in his suit.
When she snuck a glance at him, he returned her gaze and raised his brow curiously.
Pursing her lips, she averted her gaze and continued with breakfast.
Is he going out?
After breakfast, Benjamin instructed her to get herself prepared.
“Where are we going?”
“To the office.”
When he swept his gaze at her, she was stumped.
“But, today’s the weekend!”
“We still have lots of unfinished work to clear,” Benjamin reminded her.
Lips twitching, Arissa gave the workaholic Benjamin a look of resignation.
Left without a choice, she got herself changed and prepared for work.
With that, the children were left in Kingsley and Shaun’s care.
Consequently, they were upset over the fact that their mother had to work overtime together with Benjamin.
When Darius came over to see the children, they complained to him that Benjamin didn’t allow Arissa to spend time with them.
Fuming, Darius called Benjamin and gave him an earful. Before Benjamin could even respond, he ended the call and brought his grandchildren out to play.
When they left home, Arissa remembered to bring Benjamin’s medication along.
Along the journey there, she poured some water from a flask and handed him his pill.
“It’s time for your medication, Mr. Graham.”
Raising his eyes from his tablet, Benjamin looked at her.
Arissa returned his gaze with a smile.
Deep down, however, she was understandably irritated that he had brought her to work on a weekend.
“Arissa, are you trying to go against me?” Benjamin suddenly asked.
Caught off guard, Arissa shook her head and asked curiously, “What are you talking about?”
“We’re not at the office, so why are you addressing me as Mr. Graham?”
Benjamin was unsettled by the fact that she had addressed him that way.
Arissa pursed her lips in annoyance.
But how else am I supposed to address him? Should I call him Handsome? Or Mr. Picky?
After sniggering to herself, she inquired mischievously, “What should I call you then?”
When Benjamin gave her a meaningful look, she averted her eyes and blushed as her heart began to race.
“You can call me Benjamin or just Ben.”
As his magnetic voice rang out, it rumbled through her ears, giving her a tingling sensation.
Gasp!
Arissa screamed in her heart by reflex. That’s so cringey!
She snuck a glance at Benjamin’s calm expression.
If it wasn’t for her inherently sharp hearing, she would have thought that she was hearing things.
“I think Mr. Graham sounds better. If I address you by your first name, it might cause others to misunderstand our relationship.”
With a glint in his eye, Benjamin pressed on with his questions. “What relationship?”
When Arissa snuck a glance at him, she was surprised to find him staring earnestly at her.
In response, she avoided the topic self-consciously.
“You should take your medication quickly!”
She shoved the pill and water into his hands.
After giving her a look, Benjamin swallowed the pill and downed it with the water from the flask.
Coincidentally, Arissa caught a glimpse of his bobbing Adam’s apple and found the sight to be inexplicably arousing.
After drinking a few mouthfuls, Benjamin put down the flask.
When he noticed that she was staring at him with glistening eyes, his gaze darkened.
Leaning over to her, he peered deep into her eyes.
With a husky and alluring voice, he asked, “Arissa, why are you looking at me that way? Do you want me to kiss you?”
When she regained her senses and saw the teasing look in his eyes, her cheeks instantly blushed, and she gave him a bashful stare.
“No one wants to be kissed by you, you lunatic!”
Turning away from him, she looked out the window instead.
Nonetheless, Benjamin cracked a devious smile when he noticed that even her earlobes had reddened.
Moving closer to her, he deliberately spoke into her ear from behind.
“Given how you were looking at me just now, I assumed that you were looking for a kiss.”
