Chapter 818 Could You Do Me A Favor
“You’ve not tried the candies?” the children asked. “Nope. We saved them for you!” “Thank you!” The men grinned. “Go on and take it. See if it tastes good!”
Arissa smiled and turned to Benjamin. “You keep them company. I’ll get changed and prepare some food. Have you thought of what to eat?”
“I’ll come with you to see what I can eat!” Benjamin raised his chin and decided to go upstairs with her.
Meanwhile, Edwin came out and served the guests some fruits. “Mr. and Mrs. Graham, are you still hungry? Should I prepare some snacks for you?”
“Don’t worry about it. I’ll prepare the food myself,” Arissa responded with a smile. Edwin looked at them and bobbed his head in acknowledgment. “All right. The children only just returned, but they’ve had their dinner at the hospital.”
Arissa nodded and went upstairs to change into casual wear while Benjamin followed behind. Turning to the gorgeous man, she asked, “You want to change too?”
Benjamin hummed in response and entered the bedroom. He went straight to the closet to retrieve a pair of clothes and passed them to her. “Need my help?”
Arissa blushed instantly but replied in a resolute tone, “No, thank you.” Benjamin arched his brows. He then changed into the clothes he picked out from the closet.
Arissa’s heart started racing the moment the man took off his clothes. She could not avert her gaze from his muscular body. Benjamin tilted his head and stared at her, but she immediately looked away and was ready to go elsewhere to change.
“I’m done. You can change here!” Benjamin buttoned his shirt and stepped out of the room. “I’ll wait outside.”
Arissa glanced at him and was amazed at how dashing he was from every angle. “Oh, okay,” she responded. After the man had left, she closed the door and started changing.
Yet, after several attempts, she still could not reach the dress’ zip on her back, and she eventually felt her arms aching. Arissa had no choice but to open the door and look for Benjamin.
Upon noticing he was scrolling through his phone on the couch, she cleared her throat to get his attention. “Benjamin, can you do me a favor?”
The man looked up and gazed steadily into her eyes. “What is it?”
Embarrassment swelled in her when she saw the subtle smirk on his face. “Help me with the zip, please.”
“Sure. My pleasure.” Benjamin got up and walked toward her.
Arissa turned her back to him.
Her silky-smooth skin instantly caught the man’s attention when he unzipped her dress.
A few love bites behind her shoulders looked like flowers that had bloomed beautifully.
Benjamin’s eyes darkened as a passionate glint flashed across his eyes.
He leaned forward and kissed her back.
That sent a shiver down Arissa’s spine. She held onto her gown and distanced herself from the man.
Her cheeks instantly turned rosy, and she asked in embarrassment, “What are you doing?”
“I couldn’t help it.” Benjamin raised his brows, his gaze filled with passion.
Arissa’s face was flushed. “Go out, please. I want to change!”
Benjamin pressed his palm against the door and smirked. “Shall we just stay in the room and not go downstairs?”
“What are you talking about? Everyone is waiting for us!” Arissa could read between the lines.
She shot daggers at him and shoved him out of the room. “Wait outside!”
As the door gradually closed, Benjamin cleared his throat and said, “Call me again if you need my help!”
The corners of Arissa’s mouth twitched. She quickly removed the gown, set it aside, and changed into the casual attire Benjamin had taken for her.
After putting aside her gown and Benjamin’s clothes, she opened the door and stepped out of the room.
Benjamin looked at her and said, “Let’s go down.”
“Okay!”
Did he not say he didn’t want to go down? Despite having that question in mind, Arissa decided to keep mum and responded with a smile.
Benjamin grabbed her hand. Together, they left the room and went downstairs.
While they were coming downstairs, Kingsley tilted his head to look at them and teased, “What were you guys doing upstairs? You were gone for so long.”
Benjamin glared at him. “Shut up!”
Everyone held their laughter.
