The More the Merrier novel Chapter 760

Chapter 760 I Was Like That Too

Arissa handed him the pills when she saw that he had no intention of taking his medicine. “Here. Take them.” Left without a choice, Benjamin did as told.

At the sight of the exchange, Gavin scoffed, “Why are you acting like a child? I can’t believe you need Mommy to persuade you to take your medicine.”

In response, Benjamin shot daggers at the boy. “Why are you glaring at me? I was only speaking the truth.” Gavin shrugged.

“Gavin, are you itching for a beating?”

Benjamin narrowed his eyes and warned the boy.

Little did he expect Gavin to turn to Arissa and whine, “Mommy, he wants to hit me!”

Arissa laughed and assured, “Sweetheart, don’t be scared. If he dares to lay his hands on you, I will protect you!”

Benjamin grumbled, “You always take their side!”

“Well, of course. Gavin is my son, after all!” Arissa boasted pridefully.

Benjamin merely scoffed and turned his attention back to the children. “All of you should finish your supper and go to bed as soon as possible. If you wake up too late the next morning, you won’t be able to visit your great-grandaunt.”

Hearing that, the children wolfed down their supper and finished their milkshakes. Afterward, they said their goodnights and headed upstairs to bed.

“I’ll go check on them.”

Edwin followed suit to take care of the children.

A tender smile appeared on Arissa’s countenance as she watched the children hop up the stairs.

“You should eat up too,” Benjamin gestured to her plate.

Only then did Arissa turn her attention back to him. When she met his deep eyes, she stated, “You should head upstairs and take a bath since you’ve finished your food.”

“I’ll wait for you.”

Casually, Benjamin leaned back in his seat and watched the woman eat.

They were the only ones left in the dining room, and the atmosphere quickly became somewhat sensual.

Under Benjamin’s intense stare, Arissa felt the heat creep up her face.

Suddenly, she became extra conscious of every mouthful of food she took.

From the corner of her eyes, she could still see him staring at her.

Thus, her heartbeat began accelerating beyond her control.

“Why are you looking at me like that?” Arissa blurted out.
