Chapter 948 How About I Call You Sweetheart
Arissa eyed Benjamin, who was acting all high-handed. She hesitated for a while before
walking over to him.
If I were to go and sit on the other side, he’d definitely be displeased.
Taking all that in, the six children chortled discreetly.
“Can’t you be apart from Mommy for even a second, Daddy?”
Gavin poked fun at his father.
His eyes lighting up, Tim likewise fixated his gaze on Benjamin.
Zachary, Oliver, Jasper, and Jesse also stared at the man unblinkingly in curiosity.
“No,” Benjamin answered.
Arissa was startled, the corners of her mouth twitching when she glimpsed his calm and
unruffled expression.
“Hurry up and sit down to eat! We’re all waiting for you.”
Benjamin shot a look at her.
Arissa sat down smilingly. “Let’s eat, Sweethearts!”
“Okay!”
Beside themselves with joy, the children picked up their forks and started eating.
“Okay.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAt the same time, the voice of the man beside her drifted over.
Arissa felt the tips of her ears burning. I was talking to the kids. Why on earth did he butt
in?
She turned to throw him a glare, only to meet his eyes. They were scorching to the point
that they could almost reduce her to ashes.
Her face flaming, she glowered at him.
Benjamin devilishly quirked a brow and leaned closer to her. “Am I not your sweetheart?”
Arissa’s heart started hammering wildly, and she blushed to the tip of her ears.
“I was talking to the kids!” she hissed.
I wasn’t talking to him! Who cares about him? He wants me to call him Sweetheart? Why
doesn’t he do so first?
In the next moment, Benjamin’s gaze darkened. “How about I call you such instead,
Sweetheart?”
Arissa’s heart pounded like a jackhammer, the man’s teasing robbing her of her
composure.
“Who told you to call me Sweetheart?”
A touch of guilt lingered within her, for she hadn’t expected him to see right through her
just when that thought occurred to her.
Gah! How embarrassing!
Benjamin’s lips quirked up.
When Arissa noticed that the children were looking in their direction, she chastised him in
a low voice, “Do you still want to eat?”
“Of course!” Benjamin replied with a smirk.
Nevertheless, his smoldering gaze remained glued to her bright red face, the heat in them
making things turn suggestive.
Arissa’s heart fluttered. She felt as though the man was hinting at something else, and her
mind inexorably went into the gutter.
Twisting a fraction to the side, she pretended to take food for the children and ignored him
altogether.
“Eat more, Sweethearts!”
She took some food for each of them before she started eating.
Benjamin was disgruntled.
“Have you forgotten something?”
Huh?
Arissa regarded him in puzzlement.
Benjamin looked displeased.
“What have I forgotten?”
Arissa appeared all innocent.
“You forgot to take food for your husband!”
Benjamin clenched his jaw.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmArissa was momentarily stunned. Mirth bubbled within her, and she rubbed her nose.
She dodged his sharp gaze, but still, she lifted her fork and took some food for him.
“Dig in, Graham!” A smile crinkled the corners of her eyes.
Despite finding her smile a tad fake, Benjamin felt much better.
He took the food with his fork and placed it into his mouth.
He was still as elegant and dignified when he ate, his flawless features mesmerizing to the
point that she couldn’t take her eyes off him.
Unknowingly, she fell into a trance while staring at him.
Benjamin took in the sight of her enthralled gaze and was filled with pride.
Saying nothing, he continued eating, allowing her to have her fill of him.
Sometime later, Arissa blinked. Noticing the curve of the man’s lips, she felt somewhat
mortified.
The food continued being served, one after another.
Next, Benjamin took some food for her and the children. As he watched them eat, he
naturally did the same.
Other than the unfortunate incident of bumping into Regan, they all enjoyed the meal.
Arissa footed the bill before going to the amusement park with Benjamin and the children.
Benjamin had given his promise to the sextuplets previously, but he was only putting his
word into action that day.
The eyes of all six children went wide in excitement the instant they laid eyes on the
incredible view in front of them.
