Chapter 827 Has He Proposed To You
Arissa then straightened her clothes in the mirror before walking out of the closet. By then, Benjamin was already ready. He sat on the couch, looking as casual as ever.
Hearing movement, he turned and cast his gaze over. Arissa’s complexion was impeccable, fair with a hint of rosiness. On the whole, she appeared angelic.
Dressed in his shirt, she even seemed a few years younger than her actual age, looking like a university student who had yet to step into society.
Despite that, her bright eyes carried a hint of womanly allure. Even without makeup, she was so stunningly beautiful that she took his breath away.
Benjamin’s eyes darkened a shade. When he continued staring at her, Arissa grew a tad uneasy. She tugged at her clothes. “How is it? Do I look strange?”
Benjamin walked over to her. Stretching out a long and slender arm, he pulled her into his arms and captured her lips. Arissa thumped him on the back. “I haven’t applied makeup yet!”
Benjamin only dropped his hold on her after nipping her lip. “You look stunning!” She has no idea how seductive a woman is to a man when she’s wearing his shirt.
Benjamin’s eyes darkened once more. Arissa was baffled for a moment before she realized that he was answering her question earlier. The blush on her face turned all the more enticing.
“I’m going to apply some makeup.” Going over to the dressing table, she quickly put on some makeup. Benjamin sat on the bed and waited for her.
Downstairs, employees from City Hall had arrived. Edwin thought that it was Darius who called them over. He ushered them into the living room for a seat before swiftly going upstairs to inform Benjamin about it.
Knock! Knock!
“Are you up yet, Mr. Graham?”
Benjamin got to his feet and went over to open the door. He looked at Edwin inquisitively. “What’s the matter?”
“Two employees from City Hall came, saying… they’re here to register your marriage with Mrs. Graham. I have them waiting in the living room. Should I ask them to leave?” Edwin inquired cautiously.
“I called them over. Take them to the study to make the preparations. We’ll be there in a while,” Benjamin instructed.
For a second, Edwin was stunned. When understanding dawned that the man wanted to register his marriage with Arissa, he was over the moon.
“I’ll go and take them to the study to make the preparations right away!” he exclaimed, grinning from ear to ear.
He then went back downstairs.
Benjamin turned and glanced at Arissa.
When he saw her growing frantic, he stuck his hands in his pockets, his thin lips curving upward.
“Take your time!”
Arissa glowered at the man through the mirror. How am I to take my time when the employees from City Hall are already here?
Speeding up, she completed her light makeup.
Then, she finished it off with a bit of lipstick and pulled her hair into a ponytail.
After checking her makeup in the mirror, she headed toward the door.
“I’m ready.”
Benjamin’s eyes stayed on her face for several seconds. How pleasing to the eyes! She’s all the more beautiful with a bit of makeup!
Taking her hand, he walked out of the room.
Just then, Zachary shuffled out of his room. His eyes went wide when he noticed them dressed identically.
Curious, he inquired, “Mommy, Mr. Graham, where are you both going?”
At his voice, the five other children dashed out of the room. They all regarded the couple inquisitively.
“Your mommy and I are going to register our marriage!” Benjamin revealed.
The jaws of all six children dropped in shock.
“Can we tag along, Daddy?”
Sheer anticipation inundated Gavin.
Benjamin swept a gaze over him. “We’re doing it at home.”
Having said that, he dragged Arissa downstairs.
Utterly surprised, the six children chased after them.
“Why are you suddenly marrying Mr. Graham, Mommy?” Zachary queried.
We didn’t know anything last night.
All the children alternated their gazes between Arissa and Benjamin.
Don’t tell me Mommy was coerced by Daddy last night?
“It was a spur-of-the-moment decision.”
Arissa looked at them gingerly, afraid that they would object.
At that, the six children exchanged glances. “Has Mr. Graham proposed to you, Mommy?”
Jasper trained his eyes on Benjamin.
Arissa likewise sneaked a peek at Benjamin.
Benjamin looked at Jasper before shifting his gaze to Arissa with a pointed look in his eyes. “Have I proposed to you?”
