You More Than Anything In The World novel Chapter 108

Chapter 108 This Is My House

Over at the dining table, Arissa, who was still eating with Gavin, turned around to check on Benjamin, only to find him standing in front of her bedroom.

Her cheeks flushed crimson at once.

How could he enter my bedroom without my permission?

“Mr. Graham!” Arissa called out to him. She could not let him invade her privacy.

Benjamin turned to her, looking as composed as ever. He did not show a single shred of unease despite being caught red-handed.

His handsome face remained calm as he explained, “I heard some noises coming from inside. I was just checking to see if there are any rats!”

Arissa was rendered speechless by the sensible excuse.

“So, did you find any rats, Mr. Graham?”

“No. Perhaps it’s in the other room. Let me go check.”

As he said that, he turned around and headed toward the other room.

Arissa’s heart almost leaped out of her chest. Hastily, she stormed over and blocked his way.

“Mr. Graham, there are certainly no rats in my house. You must be hearing things.”

Benjamin did not expect her to do that. Unable to halt his tracks, he bumped straight into her.

As a result, Arissa found herself pressed against the door. Flushing crimson, Arissa stretched out a hand in an attempt to push him away.

Yet, Benjamin remained where he was.

With a hand on the door, he boxed her in his embrace.

Gavin turned around to sneak a glance and burst into a furtive giggle before resuming his dinner.

“Are you afraid to let me in?”

Benjamin lowered his gaze at her, looking unabashed as if he was the owner of this house.

“Very funny. That’s not it. It’s rather messy in here, and I don’t want you to see it!”

Arissa tried her hardest to suppress her nerves. It was difficult to keep a straight face, especially when she was in his arms.

“Now that you mentioned it, I really think we should have a look in case of rats! They can be quite dangerous as they carry a variety of viruses. I don’t think a woman like you can deal with them on your own. It’ll be best if you let me check,” Benjamin said sternly.

“Thanks for your offer, Mr. Graham, but I can handle it on my own!”

The corner of her mouth twitched nervously at the thought of Benjamin discovering the four children hiding inside.

“Mr. Graham, this is my house!”
