You More Than Anything In The World novel Chapter 125

Chapter 125 Father Of Your Children

Benjamin looked at her. “Gavin asked to call you up here for lunch!”

Arissa looked at him with surprise, though her eyes sparkled with delight. “Oh, Gavin!” she giggled.

Benjamin found himself furrowing his brows as he looked at Arissa’s bright smile.

“He’s such a good boy! Why didn’t he call me?” Arissa whipped out her phone as if to call him on the spot.

“Finish your meal first!” Benjamin snapped. “You’ve no time to make calls. We must discuss something after this.”

Startled, Arissa eyed the scowling man in front of her.

He was really impossible to figure out.

She set down her phone and started to eat rapidly.

Benjamin shot her a look. “Eat slower! I’m not forcing you to eat, after all.”

Arissa was speechless. She would probably get indigestion dining with him.

“It’s a bit stressful eating with you,” she replied breezily.

Benjamin noticed her plastered-on smile.

It was nothing at all like the bright expression she had when he had mentioned Gavin, and he felt struck by a pang of unhappiness.

Arissa was eating at a normal rate now, at least.

It was honestly a little awkward.

Neither of them spoke to each other.

The office was completely silent except for the sound of them eating.

Arissa suddenly felt very conscious of the sounds of herself eating, so she tried her best not to make any noise.

Her chewing became strained.

Hiccup!

She swallowed, thinking she could stifle the hiccup, but all it did was make her hiccups even more obvious.

Benjamin noticed it and walked around to her back, where he patted her back firmly.

“Thanks…” Hiccup!

Benjamin poured her a glass of water.

She felt much better after drinking it.

“You ate too fast, didn’t you?” It almost sounded like Benjamin was teasing her.

Arissa was fed up. “Ah, I’m not used to eating with you! I’m quite nervous!”

Benjamin shot her a look.

Arissa smiled awkwardly. “Thank you, Mr. Graham. The food is delicious.”
