The More the Merrier novel Chapter 625

Chapter 625 She Loves Sitting In My Lap

Benjamin looked down. “What were you thinking?”

“Nothing!” Arissa replied hastily.

Her gaze darted around guiltily. She couldn’t bring herself to admit that she had spaced out because of him.

“If it’s nothing, then why didn’t you realize the towel was covering my face?” Benjamin teased.

An evil smirk flitted across his lips.

Feeling embarrassed, Arissa retorted, “I didn’t notice it. Can’t that happen?”

Benjamin held her jaw and forced her to look up. He stared at her stubborn self and bent down deliberately.

His voice was lazy and seductive as he said, “Were you too engrossed in watching me?”

Arissa’s heart leaped to her throat as she averted her gaze.

“No!” she responded frantically.

Benjamin was pleased by how guilty she looked.

“You answered so quickly. That proves that you’re feeling flustered,” he said as he brushed the tip of his nose across her cheek.

It brought about a ticklish sensation.

Arissa dodged away, but he merely inched closer.

She extended her hand to keep a distance from him.

In response, Benjamin’s lips brushed across her palm.

It felt like an electrical current had shot through her body, so Arissa immediately pulled her hand back.

Her face grew hot.

“Mr. Graham, you saw everything clearly as you kept an eye on me at all times, huh?”

She snuck a glance at him.

Benjamin’s lips curved. “Are you admitting to it?”

“What did I admit to?”

Arissa looked away and struggled to free herself.

At once, Benjamin’s breath turned erratic. He pinned her down and warned in a low voice, “Don’t move!”

Hearing the change in his voice, Arissa felt her cheeks burn.

“Let me go!” she urged.

Benjamin’s gaze bore into her.

Suddenly, the atmosphere turned amorous. It felt like he was going to gobble her up anytime.

Staring at her lush lips, Benjamin lowered his head slowly.

Arissa was too shy to face the kids. She wiggled aside, but the man grabbed her waist and refused to let her leave.

“I wasn’t taking advantage of her. She’s the one who loves sitting in my lap!” he insisted.

Arissa’s eyes widened in disbelief. How could he be this shameless?

She lifted her head to glare at him.

Benjamin arched a brow at the sight of her puffy cheeks. Strangely, he found her angry look adorable.

“Shameless!” Arissa cursed under her breath.

How dare he twist the truth? He locked me in his arms and refused to let me leave!

Benjamin snorted and turned to the kids, who were all huddled at the door.

“Have you finished packing up?” he asked.

The children were gazing at him intently. Other than Tim, the rest seemed to be seething in fury.

“Don’t change the topic. Did you bully Mommy just now?” Zachary demanded with his hands on his hips.

“Ethen!” Benjamin suddenly called out.

Ethen touched his forehead before schooling his expression into a calm one. He went to the door and greeted, “Mr. Graham.”

He dared not look up for fear of seeing something explicit.
