Chapter 801 I Only Have Feelings For You

Arissa raised her head to regard him with a smile. “It’s nothing.” Benjamin’s brow bunched up. His eyes fixated upon the unnaturalness of her smile before glancing toward his phone.

When he took it over, the screen of the phone lit up. That particular message was still being actively displayed on it. Was it this that ruined her mood?

Momentarily shaken up inside, Benjamin regarded her intently with his dark eyes before he deleted that message. “Have you read it?” he asked, point blank.

Arissa turned her body over to face the other way. “I didn’t mean to!” Casting his towel aside, Benjamin leaned in and held her tightly inside her arms.

His almond-shaped eyes locked gazes with her. “It doesn’t mean anything!” Arissa lifted her eyes and pursed her lips. “Have both of you been in constant contact all this time?”

Benjamin fiddled with her hair while lying on his side. “No. She’s the one who has been trying to reach out to me these past few days. I’ve never responded to her,” he explained.

Arissa scrutinized him. Benjamin doesn’t appear to be lying. It’s not like he needs to either. “In that case, how do you feel toward her?”

Benjamin stared at her with an unfathomable gaze. “She’s like an old friend!” That somewhat improved Arissa’s mood. “Then, do you still fancy her?”

Benjamin’s brows perked up, and there was a playful look in his eyes. “Why don’t you tell me whether I should?”

When Arissa reacted by turning her back to him, Benjamin pulled himself close and kissed her behind the ear. “You know that I only have feelings for you!”
