The More the Merrier novel Chapter 814

Chapter 814 I Never Promised You Anything

Despite Arissa’s tug at his sleeve, Benjamin held her hand and asserted to Rosetta, “I never promised you anything, Ms. Adams, so why is it necessary for you to say such a thing in front of my partner?”

Even though he had previously considered dating Rosetta before, Benjamin had never made his thoughts known.

Instead, it was the lovestruck Rosetta who kept using Aaron to get close to Benjamin.

Consequently, those not in the know would assume from Rosetta’s words that both of them used to be in a relationship.

Despite the drastic change in her expression, Rosetta had nothing to rebut with.

In contrast to everyone else watching the drama unfold, Arissa looked at Benjamin, stunned. He was never in a relationship with Rosetta?

“Hey, Benjamin, what are you doing? Don’t scare Ms. Adams like that during such a joyous occasion. Come, let’s drink!”

Worried that the situation would escalate, Kingsley quickly stood up to ease the tension.

“Ms. Adams, don’t mind Benjamin. You know how he is. Anyway, you should go on ahead and entertain your other guests. We’ll take care of ourselves here.” Kingsley ushered her away.

Coincidentally, Aaron—who happened to be nearby—walked over.

“What’s going on?”

“Nothing. Nothing at all.”

Kingsley, trying to mend the situation, didn’t dare say much.

Taking in everyone’s expression, Aaron ordered Rosetta with a grim look, “Go and entertain the other guests. Mom already has her hands full. Hurry up now!”

“Aaron!” Rosetta whined as she tried to suppress her anger.

“Go now!” Aaron barked with a threatening look in his eyes, for he didn’t want her to disgrace herself further.

Only then did Rosetta leave as Aaron entertained his friends.

“Benjamin, please continue to enjoy yourselves. I need to tend to some relatives before coming back to drink with you guys.”

Benjamin simply nodded.

“Go on. We’ll be fine here,” Kingsley reassured him with a smile.

Shaun and Jonathan added, “Yes, you go ahead. You don’t have to stay with us.”
