You More Than Anything In The World novel Chapter 653

Arissa stared intently at Benjamin.

Everyone knows our relationship. I'm sure our babies know what's going on between us. Why do we have to pretend to be a married couple?

“Dad is very particularly concerned about our relationship. If you want to live with the kids, you must cooperate with me and pretend to be my girlfriend!” Benjamin reminded.

Girlfriend?

Not Wife?

A hint of disappointment flashed across Amelia's eyes, but she soon pulled herself together.

Her eyes swept from left to right for a moment, and she nodded. “All right!”

Is he trying to get closer to me since he seems to have developed a better impression of me now?

If that's the case, why should I turn him down? I must seize the opportunity and not let him go.

Benjamin began to frown when he saw her smirking but had no idea what she had in mind.

Upon noticing the brooding expression on his face, Arissa froze for a moment. “You look unhappy, Mr. Graham.”

The man gave her the side-eye but did not know what else to say. But he believed she must have kept a few tricks up her sleeve. “Don't try to play mind games with me!”

Arissa did not understand a word he uttered. What on earth is he talking about?

She poked Benjamin's chest and snorted. “You wanted me to pretend to be your girlfriend, and I agreed. Yet, you're giving me this look? What's wrong with you?”

This man is so hard to please.

“Do you realize I'm the one who got the short end of the stick?” Arissa exclaimed.

Benjamin narrowed his beady eyes and locked his gaze on her. “What do you mean?”

“I'm a woman. What if the whole world finds out about my relationship with you? I don't think any man would dare to marry me in the future!” Arissa rolled her eyes at him.

Irritation surged up inside Benjamin, and his expression darkened.

He then let out a loud snort.

Arissa gave him a puzzled look as she did not understand why he reacted that way.

The way Benjamin scowled at her sent a chill down her spine.

All of a sudden, Benjamin leaned over and locked lips with her.

It was as if the domineering man was trying to suck the air out of her mouth.

Arissa was taken aback by his move. She kept tapping his back and tried to pull herself away, but her resistance was futile.

Her mind went totally blank as the kiss grew more intense.

Benjamin even bit her on the lower lip.

She glowered at the man with bloodshot and teary eyes. “You crazy-”

Before she could cuss, Benjamin continued sticking his tongue into her mouth as if he was punishing her.

Arissa's mouth was all numb and swollen.

The passionate kiss caused her head to spin and nearly suffocated her.

Benjamin finally let go of her just before she ran out of breath.

Benjamin was still huffing in anger. He shot her a glare and stormed out of the room.

Arissa lay on bed and gasped for air.

Her whole face was flushed.

What a b*stard!

How dare he bite me!

She touched her lower lip and realized it was bleeding.

Arissa was hopping mad and embarrassed at the same time. Has he gone mad? Why did he vent his frustration on me?

She recalled the remarks she made earlier and instantly became thunderstruck.

Did he get mad because I mentioned something about marrying another man?

A warm feeling welled up in her heart.

“Crazy man!” She grabbed a pillow and punched at it repeatedly.

Why must he bite me when he's angry?

Arissa cursed him in her heart and eventually fell into a deep slumber.

When Benjamin returned to the room and saw her hugging his pillow, his eyes darkened.

He walked to the bed, sat by the edge, and covered her with a blanket.

Arissa turned over and continued sleeping.

Benjamin brushed his fingers over her lower lip and noticed it was wounded.

He could not help but knit his brows. I've let my emotions get the better of me.

He could not control himself when she said she wanted to get another man to be her husband.

Benjamin went out to retrieve the first aid kit. He then cleaned the lower lip and applied ointment to the wound.

Once he was done, he left the room with the first aid kit.

As he walked past the guest room, Benjamin asked the housekeeper, “Are they asleep?”

“Yes, Mr. Graham!”

Benjamin nodded and headed to his study.
