The More the Merrier novel Chapter 54

Chapter 54 Sniffing Her Hair

“All right!” Jasper hugged her and sniffed the familiar sweet scent of her body.

Although Arissa was sad to leave him, she did not have any choice at that point. She then gently ruffled the boy’s hair.

“Let go of her, Gavin. She needs to go home!” Benjamin told his son in a stern voice.

Jasper tightened his hug upon hearing that. Daddy is so annoying.

Arissa felt bad for her son when she saw how fierce Benjamin was. “Mr. Graham, please understand that sometimes a child is reluctant to be separated from his playmate!”

“Playmate?” Benjamin looked at her with a teasing gaze.

Arissa was momentarily stunned by his query and secretly groaned in her heart. Well, I can’t possibly say that he’s reluctant to be separated from his mother.

“It’s okay, Ms. York. You should get going. Have a safe trip home!” After bidding farewell, Jasper turned to run upstairs.

Arissa’s heart tightened as she took a step forward with her gaze fixated on her son.

Benjamin stared at her, feeling that the way she looked at Gavin was rather strange. “Arissa York, how many children do you have?”

“What?” After retracting her gaze, Arissa looked at him in puzzlement.

As he began to close in on her, Arissa subconsciously stepped backward until her back touched the wall.

He placed a hand on the wall and looked down at her condescendingly. “If I didn’t know that you have kids, I’d think that you are trying to steal my son away.”

With his hand on the side of her head, they were in a pretty suggestive position.

Arissa did not dare to breathe heavily. With only a small intake of air, the seductive masculine scent of his body filled her lungs.

She chuckled, trying to hide the fact that her heart was throbbing. “I really want to steal him away, Mr. Graham. Will you let me do so?”

Benjamin responded with a snort. “How dare you!”

She glanced at him, wondering what he was trying to do. “Gavin is such a lovely kid. Anyone who meets him will surely like him, right?”

His gaze still lingered on her. “You’ve met my son before?”

She was bewildered by those words. “Today is the first time we both met.”

“Why does he like you?” Benjamin questioned intensely.

Arissa was struck silent by his inquiry.

She raised an eyebrow when she sensed he was determined to get an answer. “You’ll have to ask your son about that.”
