Chapter 997

“Take a look and see if it's fine now.” Benjamin tossed the cotton pad away and let her

check the result.

Arissa opened her eyes, moved closer to the mirror, and was shocked.

She gazed at Benjamin in slight surprise. “You did a wonderful job!”

He didn't rub away the makeup on the other parts of her face or make a mess cleaning her

countenance.

She truly didn't anticipate Benjamin's technique to be so good.

Benjamin leaned against the dressing table and smiled. “Do you want me to help you draw

your eyebrows?”

“I think that's not necessary.”

Arissa didn't believe he was skilled in that area, so she grabbed the eyeliner to touch up

her makeup.

Benjamin fiddled with the eyebrow pencil while waiting for her to finish drawing her eyes.

Then, he pinched her chin and turned her face toward him. “Let me draw your eyebrows.”

Arissa's heart pounded rapidly and heavily against her chest as she gazed at his

captivating, handsome facial features.

Benjamin focused on drawing her eyebrows meticulously.

Gavin looked at Benjamin. “Daddy, you're adept at doing this too?”

Tim was curious as well. Daddy seems to know everything. A hint of admiration flashed

across his eyes.

Zachary glanced at Benjamin. “Mr. Graham, did you help other women draw their

eyebrows too? Why are you so proficient in doing this?”

Staring at Benjamin, Arissa was also eager to know the answer to that question.

Benjamin swept his eyes across the kids who had gathered around. Then, he turned to

Arissa and said, “That's not it.”

After Arissa was momentarily stunned, her heart palpitated. “Have you really never helped

other women draw their eyebrows?”

Benjamin bore his pensive eyes into hers and curved his thin lips. He was pleased to know

that she cared about him.

“Which woman do you think I helped?” he teased her.

She pouted. “How would I know?”

He tapped her nose affectionately and uttered gently, “There isn't another woman. You're

the only person who can enjoy this service from me.”

Gavin grinned.

Oliver, Jasper, and Jesse were also delighted. “That's more like it!”

Arissa couldn't help but curl her lips into a smile. He only draws my eyebrows, but why is

he so skillful? Don't tell me he used to do this to himself. “Then why are you such an

expert?”

He cast a glance at her. “Putting on makeup was a technical skill taught in the army, so I

learned it previously.”

Hearing his explanation, Arissa was dumbfounded. “You even had to learn something like

this?”

“Of course. Everyone had to wear camo makeup on their faces, especially during special

training.”

Benjamin described to her the things they needed to do during his special training in the

past.

She nodded, but he held her face in place.

“Don't move unnecessarily,” he said sternly.

She knew about the army's special training in the jungle as she had seen those scenes on

television.

She even had a similar experience in doing that.

“I see. No wonder you're so skillful, Mr. Graham. Did you put on makeup for yourself all the

time?” Zachary beamed at Benjamin and asked inquisitively, “Mr. Graham, why aren't you

in the army anymore? It's such a privilege to become a soldier.”

Benjamin's eyes glinted pensively. Sensing Zachary's interest in that subject, he asked,

“Do you want to become a soldier?”

Zachary nodded aspiringly. “Who wouldn't want to become a soldier? They are so cool!”

Benjamin was pleasantly surprised. He didn't expect Zachary to be fond of that.

“Being a soldier is tough. You'll need to train every day. Do you really want that?”

“Enduring that hardship is insignificant since I can protect my homeland,” Zachary

responded proudly as if he had already become a soldier.

Benjamin's eyes shone in approval. “You can become a soldier when you get older.”

“Okay!” Zachary was overjoyed.

Arissa looked at him and smiled.

“Mr. Graham, you haven't told me why you stopped being in the army?” Zachary stared at

Benjamin intently while probing further.

“I was getting old,” Benjamin replied tersely.

Zachary wasn't convinced. He pouted and said, “Getting old is a good thing. Those with

advanced age get to become generals.”

Benjamin was amused. Zachary has such great ambition. That's not bad.
