The More the Merrier novel Chapter 784

Chapter 784 Do Not Overthink It

“What are you laughing at?” Benjamin grumbled as he pinched Arissa’s hand. The latter merely shot him a glance before pulling her hand free and making her way to the couch.

After staring at his now empty hand, Benjamin walked over and sat beside her. That, unfortunately, earned a glare from Arissa. “Old Mr. Graham’s outside. You can stop following me!”

Benjamin frowned as he stared at her. “Since when am I following you?”

Speechless, Arissa moved aside and poured herself a glass of water. “As long as Old Mr. Graham is out of sight, we can stop with the act, can’t we?”

Benjamin’s expression instantly darkened. Argh! This woman sure knows how to get on my nerves!

The next second, he grabbed her glass and finished the water in one gulp.

Arissa drew back in surprise, wondering if she had misspoken.

She snuck a peek at Benjamin and immediately felt a chill running down her spine when she met his angry gaze.

“D-Did I say something wrong?”

Benjamin said nothing as he gritted his teeth. Oh, so now she’s testing me, huh? How I wish I could teach her a lesson!

Despite that thought, he furrowed his brows when he realized the wound above Arissa’s lips had reopened.

“Edwin!”

Without further ado, Edwin came running out of the kitchen.

Not knowing what Benjamin was up to, Arissa continued staring at him until his instructions to Edwin made her heart skip a beat.

“Fetch me the first-aid kit!”

Edwin looked at the couple and quickly nodded. “Right away!”

After seeing the butler run off to carry out his order, Arissa stole another glance at Benjamin. “What do you need the first-aid kit for?”

Does he want to apply the medication for me?

Benjamin shot her such an intimidating glare that she quickly looked away.

As soon as Edwin returned with the first-aid kit, Benjamin dismissed him and personally took out the ointment for Arissa.

“Sit over here!”

Upon hearing his order, Arissa froze. Oh, no! He’s really going to apply the medication, isn’t he?
