The More the Merrier novel Chapter 978

Chapter 978

“Even though my father had a daughter with that woman later on, he never married her! Their love is a joke,” Benjamin spat.

Upon hearing that, Arissa was shocked. Benjamin has a sister, too?

“Where is she, then?” She was referring to Bryan's mother.

He stared at her, complicated emotions swirling within his eyes. “I chased her away!”

The story stunned and disheartened her. Are all men the same? Regan also cheated on his wife.

Suddenly, her impression of Darius was ruined significantly.

“Do you think I was too ruthless?” Anxiously, Benjamin waited for her answer.

Arissa shook her head. “I'd do the same if I were you.”

Though technically, Bryan's mother didn't kill Benjamin's mother with her own hands, she still caused the latter's death. I don't think that woman is an ordinary joe.

Then, she asked, “Why isn't Old Mr. Graham living with them, then?”

It was something she found odd because Darius was free to live with his mistress if he wanted to.

Benjamin sneered, “Maybe because he felt guilty for my mother's death and couldn't find peace of mind.”

When Arissa heard the mockery in his voice, her heart clenched. I don't think that's the only reason Old Mr. Graham refrained from doing that. I believe it's also because he cares very much about Benjamin. The first time I met him, I can tell he genuinely cares about Benjamin and the children. “Your dad loves you very much, Benjamin!”

Gazing at her, Benjamin remained silent.

She kept quiet too as she embraced him.

After a while, he pinched her cheek. “Do you want to stay here tonight or go back?”

“I'll let you decide!” Arissa was fine either way.

Raising his eyebrow, a tinge of amusement surfaced in his eyes as he asked teasingly, “Are you sure?”

She grinned and stood up, but was hugged by him.

Patting his hand, she said, “I'm going to check on the children!”

Holding her chin, he kissed her lips.

Instantly, Arissa's face reddened. Benjamin's masculine scent pervaded her nose, and she plunged into a daze.

Her countenance reddened again when she heard the sound of water coming from within.

She then rushed outside and waited for him at the entrance.

Upon exiting the restroom, Benjamin strode toward her.

Arissa's heart skipped a beat as she watched the tall man step toward her. Gosh, can I stop swooning over him?

He smirked when he noticed her looking away, avoiding his line of sight.

When he approached her, he held her hand and descended the stairs with her. “Were you peeking at me?”

Arissa pursed her lips. Can he not smile so smugly?

“So what if I did?”

Gazing at her arrogant expression, his grin deepened, and he pinched her cheek again. “Feel free to look as much as you want!”

Words eluded Arissa.
