Chapter 948 How About I Call You Sweetheart

Arissa eyed Benjamin, who was acting all high-handed. She hesitated for a while before walking over to him.

If I were to go and sit on the other side, he’d definitely be displeased.

Taking all that in, the six children chortled discreetly.

“Can’t you be apart from Mommy for even a second, Daddy?”

Gavin poked fun at his father.

His eyes lighting up, Tim likewise fixated his gaze on Benjamin.

Zachary, Oliver, Jasper, and Jesse also stared at the man unblinkingly in curiosity.

“No,” Benjamin answered.

Arissa was startled, the corners of her mouth twitching when she glimpsed his calm and unruffled expression.

“Hurry up and sit down to eat! We’re all waiting for you.”

Benjamin shot a look at her.

Arissa sat down smilingly. “Let’s eat, Sweethearts!”

“Okay!”

Beside themselves with joy, the children picked up their forks and started eating.

“Okay.”

At the same time, the voice of the man beside her drifted over.

Arissa felt the tips of her ears burning. I was talking to the kids. Why on earth did he butt in?

She turned to throw him a glare, only to meet his eyes. They were scorching to the point that they could almost reduce her to ashes.

Her face flaming, she glowered at him.

Benjamin devilishly quirked a brow and leaned closer to her. “Am I not your sweetheart?”

Arissa’s heart started hammering wildly, and she blushed to the tip of her ears.

“I was talking to the kids!” she hissed.

I wasn’t talking to him! Who cares about him? He wants me to call him Sweetheart? Why doesn’t he do so first?

In the next moment, Benjamin’s gaze darkened. “How about I call you such instead, Sweetheart?”

Arissa’s heart pounded like a jackhammer, the man’s teasing robbing her of her composure.

“Who told you to call me Sweetheart?”

A touch of guilt lingered within her, for she hadn’t expected him to see right through her just when that thought occurred to her.

Gah! How embarrassing!

Benjamin’s lips quirked up.
