Chapter 562 Predatory Eyes
The bodyguard returned with Benjamin’s coat and sunglasses.
The latter wore his own pair of sunglasses and gave the previous ones back to the guard, who then put them back on and stood nearby.
Some were fortunate enough to have caught a glimpse of Benjamin’s face while he was switching glasses. The men felt ashamed of themselves, whereas the women began to drool as their jaws fell to the floor.
“That guy looks so hot!”
“I just saw his face too. The kids look just like him – those features, those charming eyes!”
“He looks way better than most male celebrities out there! Who on earth is he? He even has bodyguards with him. Is he a superstar?”
“We would’ve seen him before if he really were a star, so he’s definitely not one. His looks are just too unmatched! He’d be crazy famous if he really were a star!”
“Oh, my God! He’s so hot. His wife is so lucky to have such a gorgeous partner like him – along with six adorable kids! I’m so jealous!”
Benjamin’s eyes twinkled. Wife?
His gaze fell on the woman next to him, only to see her frowning in speechlessness.
He then took his coat and wrapped it around her waist to hide her curves.
Arissa froze.
“What are you doing? It’s so hot out here!”
“Keep it on,” the man instructed while pushing her hands away from the coat. “Can’t you see all those guys staring at you?”
Arissa glanced around and noticed many people turning their heads as they walked past her.
Then, she laughed. “You know, I see more women looking at you instead – with their predatory eyes!”
“Would you like something bitter to go with that jealousy?” Benjamin teased as he pulled her back into his arms.
Arissa was at a loss for words. What a narcissist this guy is!
“I’d prefer something salty, thank you very much.”
The children behind couldn’t help but laugh, including Tim.
Benjamin gritted his teeth. “In that case, I’ll have Edwin buy more salt so you can eat as much of it as you want.”
Arissa smiled at him tauntingly. “And what about you, Graham? Would you like some salt too? Or do you prefer something bitter?”
The man stared at her intently with his narrowed eyes. “You’re asking me what I want to eat?”
His warm breath fanned her cheeks, making her feel all tingly.
He was being so intimate.
She blinked before quickly looking away.
Seeing the food they were looking for straight ahead, she placed an order for the children and bodyguards.
“Thank you, Ms. York!”
“Don’t mention it!”
Arissa then bent over and distributed one skewer to each child.
“Just one, Mommy? That’s not enough!” Jasper whined as he took a huge bite of his barbecued sausage.
The woman flicked his forehead gently.
“Slow down! It tastes better when you eat it slowly.”
“It’s delicious!” Jasper took a huge whiff of his skewer. It smelled so good.
Unable to resist the temptation, Arissa decided to order another set of skewers.
“Here.”
She gave the rest to Benjamin, who merely glanced at them.
“You can have them.”
What a weirdo. Oh, well. His loss.
The woman gave the bodyguards more skewers and prepared to feed her children more when they were done with what they had now.
“It’s been so long since I last ate these. I used to love them so much back when I was still in school,” Arissa reminisced. “I used to buy these with a group of friends. I could only get one each time, but it was so gratifying.”
She looked so calm as she recalled the past.
“Why did you only get one?” asked Benjamin.
Arissa turned to him. “Because I couldn’t afford any more than that!”
Despite seeing her smile, Benjamin felt a pang in his heart.
Tim felt sorry for her too. So, she used to be poor too? It must’ve been tough for her.
“We have money now, Mommy. You can eat as many skewers as you want!” Oliver said to her.
“Really, Sweetheart?” asked Arissa.
“Of course!” The boy grinned.
“Thank you, Sweetheart! How about you pay for these skewers, then?”
Oliver’s smile instantly froze. Then, he turned to Benjamin – the only person who wasn’t eating.
“Isn’t it Mr. Graham’s treat?”
