The More the Merrier novel Chapter 535

Chapter 535 You Even Called Me Sweetheart

Soon, Arissa woke up. As she opened her eyes, a handsome face came into view.

She was stunned. Why is my son suddenly all grown up?

Unable to grasp the situation, she blinked a few times. Immediately, she met a pair of dark eyes that caused her to jolt back to her senses.

This is not my son. It’s obviously Benjamin. But wasn’t I hugging my son to sleep? Why has he turned into Benjamin?

She exclaimed, “Why are you here?”

Benjamin stared intently at her shocked expression. “That’s what I want to ask you.”

Arissa was taken aback. Ask me?

Realizing his arms were wrapped around her waist, she immediately raised her arm to push him. “Let go of me!”

Benjamin raised a brow, locking his eyes on her with a devilish gaze. “Shouldn’t you be the one who should let me go first?”

His breath brushed against her face, leaving a ticklish and numbing feeling on her skin.

Hearing that, Arissa quickly withdrew her hand and turned around to lie on her back. Her face grew hot.

At the same time, Benjamin continued staring at her with an intense gaze.

“Why are you sleeping here?” Arissa looked elsewhere, refusing to meet his eyes.

Benjamin rested his head on an arm, casting her teasing glances. “You pulled my shirt and made me come up here.”

Stunned, Arissa turned around to rebuke, “That’s impossible!”

Benjamin arched a brow charmingly. “You even called me Sweetheart.”

His words left Arissa speechless.

I tugged at his shirt and even called him Sweetheart? Is he lying to me?”

“I don’t believe you!” Arissa insisted.

Looking at the woman who refused to admit it, Benjamin sniggered. “I should’ve recorded it. That way, I’ll be able to play it for you.”

Arissa eyed him. Did I really call him that?

Right then, she recalled having a dream. Maybe I really did take him for my son.

Arissa patted the children’s heads. “Why did all of you come so soon? How long did you sleep? Don’t tell me you didn’t sleep at all?”

“We slept, Mommy. We slept for half an hour!” Jasper piped up.

“All of us slept, but Mr. Graham didn’t.” Oliver grinned.

Arissa flashed them a faint smile. No wonder Benjamin came here to sleep.

After scanning the children, she smiled at Tim, asking, “Tim, how long was your afternoon nap?”

“I slept for half an hour, too,” Tim replied softly.

Arissa smiled in response, bending over to place Jesse down.

She went over to talk to Mary before saying to the children, “Don’t disturb Mdm. Mary, okay? I’ll go freshen up and come back in a while.”

“Got it, Mommy!” Gavin and Zachary replied in unison.

When Arissa arrived at the lounge, Benjamin had stepped out of the restroom and was sitting on the couch, looking at something.

“Go get washed and have some food,” he said.

She turned around and caught sight of some food for tea time on the coffee table.

“Okay,” she responded. Before leaving for the restroom, she called out, “Go get the children to come over and have some.”

Benjamin did not respond.
