The More the Merrier novel Chapter 742

Chapter 742 He Does Not Mind It

“Mmm-hmm,” Benjamin hummed a reply and continued devouring the pasta. Throughout all, the man ate his pasta gracefully without making any slurping noises.

On the contrary, Arissa loved slurping her pasta as she believed it was tastier that way. She inevitably felt a little embarrassed as it seemed like she was being too noisy.

Since she was not hungry in the first place, she only ate a little chicken and barely any pasta. She was full after eating half a plate. “Don’t force yourself if you’re too full,” Benjamin advised after catching a glimpse of Arissa rubbing her belly.

“It’s a waste to throw it away.”

Arissa glanced at the pasta on her plate. It’s quite tasty. It’ll be a waste to throw such tasty food away. Right then, a hand holding a fork reached over and scooped all the pasta up.

Arissa stared at Benjamin in bewilderment. Does he not mind that I’ve eaten it? “Your eyes are about to pop out of their sockets,” Benjamin uttered without looking at her.

Embarrassed, Arissa shifted her gaze away from him to her plate of pasta. She realized there were only several strands of pasta left. She picked up the leftover strands of pasta with her fork and downed them with some sauce.

Unable to control herself, she snuck a few more glimpses at Benjamin. Barely anyone could resist Benjamin’s handsome appearance. He was as pretty as a picture no matter what angle it was.

It was, in fact, not appropriate to describe a man’s appearance as pretty. Yet, a term like “handsome” was not enough to express his visuals. To call him a piece of art was not an exaggeration.

“Are you satisfied after staring at me like that?” All of a sudden, Benjamin turned and gazed at Arissa deeply. She awkwardly moved her line of sight away and changed the subject. “What were you busy with?”

“There’s something wrong with a project.”

Arissa was surprised since she thought Benjamin would not tell her anything. He actually explains it to me. “Have you settled it then?”

“Yeah,” Benjamin replied with a nod.

Arissa stared at him intently and became a little hesitant. He’s so busy with work that he can’t even have his meals on time. I better not tell him about the kids’ matter, lest he gets worried.

“What is it that you wanted to tell me?” Benjamin put down the plate, wiped his mouth, and leaned back on his seat lazily.

His relaxed appearance made Arissa shake her head in dismissal. “It’s nothing. I’m just curious what were you busy with.”

Noticing Benjamin’s firm stare, Arissa hastily averted her gaze and looked elsewhere.

“Let me clean up!” Having said that, she hastily got up and began clearing the plates.

“Is everything fine with Grandaunt?” Benjamin asked suddenly.
