The More the Merrier novel Chapter 868

Chapter 868 Intentional

“How’s the food? Good?” Benjamin asked gently. Arissa smiled and nodded. “Yes, it’s delicious! You should eat more too!”

Just as she was about to send a spoonful of food into her mouth, Benjamin suddenly grabbed her hand and ate from her spoon instead.

Going red in the face, Arissa glared at her husband. The latter, however, was unbothered and happily chewed away. Seeing how intimate they were, Rosetta was green with envy.

“It looks like you haven’t changed at all, Benjamin. You still love eating steak, huh? Since my mother misses you too, you should visit her sometime. I’ll tell her to make you your favorite dish.”

With Rosetta’s words being so suggestive, it was easy for anyone who didn’t know better to get the wrong idea.

Arissa, however, merely put on a polite smile and stayed silent.

Hah! Of course, I know what Rosetta’s trying to play at, but I won’t fall for it. Benjamin has already made things clear to her, yet she still said that on purpose, thinking I’d misunderstand the situation. Why should I walk into her trap? If Benjamin has ever had feelings for her, I might still feel a tinge of jealousy, but the truth is he doesn’t like her at all. Besides, what’s the big deal about him going to the Adams family for a meal? He’s friends with Aaron, isn’t he?

By then, even Aaron had had enough of his sister and regretted bringing her along.

She’s a woman of privilege and status, for goodness’ sake! Why does she have to act so desperate? The only person she’s embarrassing is herself!

“Rosetta!” Aaron scolded before Benjamin could blow his top. “Go home right now if you can’t behave yourself!”

“Aaron!”

Seeing how her own brother had lashed out at her in public, Rosetta seethed with anger.

She couldn’t stand how lovey-dovey Benjamin and Arissa were, and even the slightest bit of it made her want to ruin everything.

“Get out if you can’t shut up. Stop embarrassing yourself!” Aaron bellowed.

“Ms. Adams, we’ve tried your mother’s steak before, and there’s no doubt it’s delicious. But if we had to compare, I must say Arissa’s cooking is way better. Therefore, I don’t see the need to disturb your mother when we can enjoy good food right here in Yaleview!” Kingsley said smilingly before turning to Arissa. “Isn’t that right, Arissa?”

Arissa merely glanced at Kingsley and smiled.

“Oh? You can make his favorite dish too, Ms. York?” Rosetta said through gritted teeth.

“That’s right! I have no problem making simple home-cooked dishes.”
