The More The Merrier

Chapter 784 Do Not Overthink It

“What are you laughing at?” Benjamin grumbled as he pinched Arissa’s hand. The latter merely shot him a glance before pulling her hand free and making her way to the couch.

After staring at his now empty hand, Benjamin walked over and sat beside her. That, unfortunately, earned a glare from Arissa. “Old Mr. Graham’s outside. You can stop following me!”

Benjamin frowned as he stared at her. “Since when am I following you?”

Speechless, Arissa moved aside and poured herself a glass of water. “As long as Old Mr. Graham is out of sight, we can stop with the act, can’t we?”

Benjamin’s expression instantly darkened. Argh! This woman sure knows how to get on my nerves!

The next second, he grabbed her glass and finished the water in one gulp.

Arissa drew back in surprise, wondering if she had misspoken.

She snuck a peek at Benjamin and immediately felt a chill running down her spine when she met his angry gaze.

“D-Did I say something wrong?”

Benjamin said nothing as he gritted his teeth. Oh, so now she’s testing me, huh? How I wish I could teach her a lesson!
