Chapter 944 A Secret Love Affair
“Don’t tease your brother!” Arissa chastised as she pinched Zachary’s ear. He turned to look at her and chuckled dryly in response. The six children were the first to run in when they arrived at the hospital. “Mommy, Mr. Graham, hurry up!” they chorused.
Arissa and Benjamin followed behind while reminding the kids loudly, “Slow down. Don’t bump into anyone!” “I’ll go up and watch over them!”
By then, Kingsley had also arrived. He ran up to them when he saw the children running in. Arissa grinned. “Thank you, Mr. Watts!” “Don’t mention it! You two can do whatever you want!” Kingsley responded cheerfully before running toward the children.
By the time Benjamin and Arissa arrived at the elevator holding hands, Kingsley had already taken the kids upstairs, so they got into a different one.
As soon as the elevator door closed, Benjamin pulled Arissa into his arms, sending her crashing into his body. “What are you doing?” She looked at the man in puzzlement.
Benjamin lowered his gaze to stare at her beautiful face and red lips. Then he leaned forward and sealed her lips with his. His face tingled as her fluttering eyelashes brushed his face.
All she could breathe in was the man’s strong masculine scent, which enveloped her. Arissa’s heart raced in an instant. She stared at his handsome features, feeling ripples in her heart.
Benjamin only let go of her when he heard the sound of the elevator door opening, but his arms were still around her waist.
Arissa leaned on him to catch her breath, inhaling the man’s pleasant scent that only made her heart thump faster. Benjamin took in the rosy blush coloring her cheeks, and his eyes darkened. “Can we go over now?”
He stroked her face, gently and affectionately. Embarrassed, she lifted her head to shoot the man a resentful glare.
“Of course!” She was blushing to the tip of her ears. Benjamin’s eyes twinkled, and he could not resist pecking the corner of her rosy lips. “Don’t—”
Arissa quickly looked around and let out a sigh of relief when she saw no one in sight.
Looking at her cautious gestures, Benjamin did not know whether to laugh or cry as he led her out of the elevator.
“Can you stop acting like we’re secret lovers? We’re legally married, so nothing we do publicly is illegal. Are you afraid that people will see us? So what if they do? We’re not having a secret love affair!”
Arissa cast a sidelong glance at the man and muttered, “I’m not as shameless as you!” Hearing that, Benjamin gently raised his eyebrows and wrapped his long arm tightly around her waist.
“I believe you were quite shameless previously. I can vividly recall you saying that you want to pursue me. Why do you seem to be getting worse at it?”
The corner of Arissa’s lips twitched. Can I deny that?
“It was you who said you wanted to pursue me!” She turned to meet his intense and charming gaze and felt her heart skip a beat. “Aren’t I doing that now?” Benjamin deliberately whispered in her ear.
His deep and raspy voice was incredibly enticing, making Arissa’s heart beat erratically.
Arissa could not help but curl her lips upward. “I can’t feel it!” Suddenly, Benjamin pulled her, spun around, and pinned her against the wall, pressing their bodies firmly together.
He positioned one strong arm against the wall behind her head to enclose her in his embrace before lowering his eyes to fix them firmly on hers. Staring at him incredulously, Arissa reminded softly, “You—”
“Didn’t you say you can’t feel that I’m pursuing you?” His lips were lifted slightly to a devilish smirk as he deliberately pressed himself against her. “Can you feel it now?”
“You perv—mmph!”
