The More the Merrier novel Chapter 378

Chapter 378 His Whereabout Is Unknown

After they finished their food, they continued to stay as they were curious about what Arissa had to say.

“Sweethearts, did you eat your fill?”

Arissa smiled at her children, hoping they would leave soon.

However, the five of them blinked at her and asked in unison, “Mommy, what secret do you have?”

“You are still children and should not listen to the conversation between adults,” Arissa stated.

The children held their tongues. After they took their bags, they shuffled out of the room.

Soon, only Arissa and Benjamin were in the study.

Arissa could feel Benjamin’s eyes on her back. As expected, she turned around to catch him staring at her.

“Are you full?”

Benjamin stared intently at her.

Arissa nodded, “Yes. Thank you for the food!”

Then, Benjamin looked around before saying, “Sit down and talk to me.”

“Okay.”

Obediently, Arissa sat down. However, she came to her senses. Why do I have to listen to him?

When she raised her head to look at Benjamin’s eyes, she sighed.

“I-”

She was about to speak when Benjamin stood up.

Unsure of what he was doing, Arissa’s eyes followed the man’s figure.

He walked to the door and opened it. Immediately, the children hiding behind it widened their eyes.

“Go along and play with your toys!”

Benjamin spoke, with a hint of threat in his voice.

Terrified, the children turned to run off to their rooms at once.

Amused, Benjamin grinned before closing the door again and returning to the table.

Arissa looked away.

When Benjamin sat down, she did not know how to bring up the topic anymore. She poured herself a glass of water and took a sip from it.

The whole time, Benjamin did not rush her. He picked up his documents and started to go through them.

It was difficult for Arissa to avert her gaze from Benjamin as he looked handsome and enchanting while he dealt with his work. He had long eyelashes and the perfect features.

Her eyes flickered, and she felt her heart beating faster.

She gulped.

“Pour me a glass of water.”

“Huh?”
