The More the Merrier novel Chapter 761

Chapter 761 A Feast For His Eyes

Sensing Benjamin’s scorching gaze, Arissa felt her heart racing. Thump! Thump!

She could almost feel her heart collide against her rib cage as the deafening sound echoed in her ears. Benjamin couldn’t help pinching her cheek with his slender, bony fingers.

Arissa’s beautiful eyes turned and glanced at him. The man’s amused and playful expression only served to make her blush more. “Graham, it hurts!” she yelped.

A look flashed across Benjamin’s eyes before he offered, “Oh. I’ll rub on it for you.” With that, he started massaging the spot where he pinched her. However, Arissa avoided his touch, the blush on her cheeks extending to her ears.

“Your face is very red,” Benjamin pointed out. He was quite pleased with himself as he took note of her bright red cheeks.

She felt awkward and boldly retorted, “How can my face not turn red when you’re touching me like that? Any straight woman will have the same reaction.”

Benjamin arched an eyebrow. His gaze, which resembled a bottomless abyss, seemed to emanate a mysterious charm that captivated people.

“But I won’t react like that if you were my guy best friend,” Arissa added.

The corner of Benjamin’s lips twitched when he heard that.

“Do you have a guy best friend?”

Arissa glanced at him in amusement. “Of course! Everyone has friends of the opposite gender!”

Benjamin’s expression fell as he heard that.

“If that’s the case, do you have a lot of male friends?”

Alas, Arissa continued enjoying her supper instead of explaining herself.

Benjamin kept his eyes fixated on her and felt his displeasure grow increasingly intense as the silence dragged on.

“I’m done.”

Arissa promptly stood up to clear the table.

Benjamin spoke up. “You can leave these to the housekeeper.”

Her eyes flitted over to him before she said, “That’s not necessary. I can do it.”

In minutes, she kept the dishes and even wiped the table while she was at it.

Meanwhile, Benjamin sat in his chair and watched as she busied herself.

“Are you too bored?”

Arissa shot him a look. “I thought you wanted me to do this. Plus, I’ll feel bad for staying here without helping with anything.”
