Benjamin shot a glare at Ethen. The latter smiled sheepishly and retreated to a corner.
Then, he cast a glance at Arissa and said with a deadpan expression, “Yes, I did.”
Kingsley snorted in disbelief. “Just admit that you wanted to see her, will you? It's not like you're doing anything illegal.”
Arissa chuckled and teased Benjamin, “More like stalking me!”
Benjamin scanned his eyes over her and scowled at Kingsley. “Oh, would you shut up?”
Kingsley let out a chortle.
“Oh, how do we put this on?”
The kids were helping Jesse put on her dress.
Arissa hurriedly headed over and took the dress. “Let me.”
“Mommy, I have a dress!” Jesse exclaimed.
Arissa patted her daughter's head and said, “Let me help you.”
She helped Jesse get changed out of her pajamas.
“Hehe.” The little girl spun around with a smile on her face.
“Mommy, do I look pretty?”
“So pretty!” Arissa replied merrily. She circled Jesse into her embrace and planted a kiss on her cheek.
The little girl giggled in delight.
“Jesse looks so pretty!”
Gavin and Tim couldn't take their eyes off Jesse, their eyes glinting with surprise.
Though Zachary, Oliver, and Jasper were used to seeing Jesse in a dress, they still thought she looked great in her new one.
“You look really pretty in that princess dress,” Jasper praised.
“Thank you, Jasper!”
Jesse beamed brightly at her brothers while the boys couldn't seem to avert their gazes from her.
Even Benjamin was in a daze. It was his first time seeing his daughter in a dress. He thought she looked like a fine little princess.
He went over and carried Jesse. “Do you like it?”
Jesse nodded eagerly and said, “Yes! Thank you, Mr. Graham!”
“You're most welcome.”
