Chapter 908 Because You Are Dining With Me
Arissa simply flashed her kids a smile and turned to look at Benjamin. She found herself blushing a little when she felt his scorching gaze on her body. “Are you going to take a shower too?” she asked.
Benjamin walked up to her and gave her a light pinch on the cheek. “I already did!”
He had taken a shower the moment he got home. Arissa stared at him in surprise. “Wow, that was fast!”
“Mmm!” Benjamin continued to caress her cheek. Unable to withstand his intense eye contact, Arissa burned bright red as she looked away. Her face grew even redder when she heard the kids laughing at her.
“All right, let’s go have dinner! By the way, you look amazing in a dress!”
Benjamin was still staring at her when he said that.
Arissa felt her heart pounding against her chest.
“T-Thanks…”
Benjamin’s smile deepened when he saw her getting shy.
“Stop flirting around with Mr. Graham, Mommy! Let’s go have dinner!” Jasper exclaimed.
Gavin, Tim, Zachary, Oliver, and Jesse burst out laughing when they heard that.
Arissa shot them a glare and snorted angrily in response.
“You kids aren’t coming with us!”
“We’re having dinner at home, Mommy!” Tim said with a grin.
“Yeah, you kids can eat at home while I go on a date with your daddy!” Arissa said with a smile.
Benjamin then held her hand and led her out of the study.
Thinking they were really going out for dinner, Arissa waved goodbye to the kids. “Bye, sweethearts!”
“Are you really not going to take us with you, Mommy?” Oliver asked as the six of them followed behind her.
Arissa’s heart softened up instantly when she saw them staring at her like that. She turned toward Benjamin and asked, “Do we take them with us?”
Benjamin simply flashed her a smile as he said, “What are you talking about? We’re having dinner at home!”
“What? We’re not eating out?” Arissa asked while staring cautiously at him.
Benjamin let out a chuckle. “Since when did I say anything about eating out?”
Arissa’s lips twitched when she heard that.
The six kids burst out laughing and ran out of the room.
“Hahaha! We managed to trick Mommy! She’s so silly!”
Arissa shot Benjamin an annoyed glare. “We’re really eating at home?”
“Yup!” Benjamin replied.
Arissa fell speechless when she looked at him and the dress she was wearing.
“Why would you make me dress so formally if we’re just having dinner at home?”
Benjamin turned around and looked her in the eye. “Why not? You’re dining with me, so it’s only natural that you dress formally.”
Arissa felt goosebumps on her skin when she locked gazes with him.
“Why would you make it look like we’re heading out for dinner?” she exclaimed with a hint of shyness in her voice.
“We are heading out for dinner though!” Benjamin replied with a cheeky grin.
Noticing the confused look on Arissa’s face, he continued, “We’re going to have dinner in the garden outside!”
Realizing that she still had her handbag on her shoulder, Arissa quickly put it on the cabinet on the porch.
“You can bring it with you, you know?” Benjamin said with a smile.
“Hmph! Why would I bring it if we’re eating at home?” Arissa snapped back at him with a snort.
Benjamin’s voice sounded particularly alluring when he whispered next to her ear, “Are you angry?”
Arissa shuddered at how sexy he sounded.
“I’m sorry I didn’t make myself clear enough,” Benjamin apologized.
“So, why did you make me wear this formal dress?” Arissa asked curiously.
“You’ll find out when we get there!” Benjamin replied as he led her toward the garden.
The kids had already made it there and seemed to be having a great time.
That only fueled Arissa’s curiosity even further.
It wasn’t until she got closer that she saw the beautiful lights and gasped in shock.
The garden had been decorated to look like a really romantic restaurant.
