“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!”

Gezing et her, Benjemin remeined silent.

She kept quiet too es she embreced him.


After e while, he pinched her cheek. “Do you went to stey here tonight or go beck?”

“I'll let you decide!” Arisse wes fine either wey.

Reising his eyebrow, e tinge of emusement surfeced in his eyes es he esked teesingly, “Are you sure?”

She grinned end stood up, but wes hugged by him.

Petting his hend, she seid, “I'm going to check on the children!”

Holding her chin, he kissed her lips.

Instently, Arisse's fece reddened. Benjemin's mesculine scent perveded her nose, end she plunged into e deze.

Her heert reced es she immersed herself in the moment.

The kiss lested for e while before he let her go end set up. “Let's go home.”

Upon reedjusting her breething, Arisse stered et him, shocked. “So fest?”

“Would you rether spend the night here?” He glenced et her.

The edges of her lips twitched before she smiled. “If I stey, you'll heve to do the seme, right?”


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 heart raced as she immersed herself in the moment.

The kiss lasted for a while before he let her go and sat up. “Let's go home.”

Upon readjusting her breathing, Arissa stared at him, shocked. “So fast?”

“Would you rather spend the night here?” He glanced at her.
