Chapter 860 The Actual Identity Of Jesse
Frowning, Benjamin glared at Arissa through the rearview mirror. “Why are you laughing
when I’m talking to you?” Arissa hurriedly stifled her laughter and turned to look at the
man. “Actually, Benjamin, Jesse is—”
Before she could finish speaking, she was interrupted by the ringing of a phone. It was
Benjamin’s phone. With his eyes pinned on the traffic ahead, Benjamin ordered lowly,
“Help me see who’s calling.”
Arissa glanced at him. Seeing that he had to drive, she twisted her body around and
picked up the phone at the center console. “It’s a call from Mr. Watts,” she reported after
taking a glimpse at the caller ID.
“Decline the call!” Benjamin showed no hesitance at all. At that, amusement crept over
Arissa. “Perhaps he wants to ask you for the restaurant’s location.”
“Would he not know the location when he was the one who made the
reservations?” Snorting, Benjamin placed his entire focus on driving since the traffic was
rather heavy right then.
As he refused to take the call, Arissa could only decline it and set the phone back down.
No sooner had she done so than Kingsley called again.
Benjamin happened to stop at a traffic light, so he snagged the phone and answered the
call, bringing it to his ear. “What is it?” “Boss, Aaron wants to join us for dinner!”
Kingsley’s voice drifted over the line.
Arissa stole a peek at Benjamin, noticing that he stilled for a moment before murmuring,
“Got it.” “When are you all coming? I’ve been here for a while now, but I still see no signs
of any of you. How lackadaisical! Don’t tell me you’re going back on your word to foot the
bill?” Kingsley griped loudly.
“We’ll be arriving in a moment!” After replying, Benjamin hung up the phone. Arissa
furtively glanced at him before casting her eyes out the window. “I wonder whether Mr.
Bailey and the kids are following behind us.”
She could still see the car earlier, but it had disappeared then. Benjamin swept his gaze
over her. “They’re in the second car behind us.” Turning, Arissa looked out the rear
windshield. Alas, she still couldn’t see anything.
“Sit properly.” Benjamin lifted his hand and stroked her hair. The smooth sensation was
incredibly enjoyable.
Arissa turned back and sat properly. Upon noticing that there were still quite a number of
cars ahead, she shifted her gaze to the man. “Is traffic building up?”
“Yeah, slightly.” Benjamin studied the navigation map. Keeping a hand on the steering
wheel, he twisted his body sideways just a fraction and stared at her intently. “Are you
hungry?”
Arissa fixed her eyes on the handsome and elegant man, slipping into a slight
trance. “Nope. I ate something earlier at Grandaunt’s.” “Okay,” Benjamin murmured in a
whisper, appearing languid and devilish.
Arissa felt her ears tingling. His voice is truly melodious, deep, and magnetizing. Just him
speaking is enough to make me blush and cause my heart to skip a beat.
When Benjamin glimpsed the shyness on her face, his gaze darkened. He was gripped by
the urge to lean forward and kiss her. At that precise moment, the cars ahead started
moving.
Thus, he had no choice but to put his desire away and concentrate on driving. There
wasn’t any more traffic from that section of the road until the restaurant, so it only took a
few minutes before they arrived. Noticing that it was a place they had been before, Arissa
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmchuckled. “We dined here previously!”
“Yup!” After parking, Benjamin climbed out of the vehicle first. He swiftly rounded the car
and opened the passenger door for Arissa.
“Be careful,” he urged. Murmuring an acknowledgment, Arissa bent down and alighted
from the car. She turned her gaze to the quaint restaurant. Well, I’m pretty fond of this
place. The food here is great, too.
Darting her eyes around, she saw that Shaun and the children’s car had also arrived
alongside the bodyguards’ car. The two of them stood at the entrance and waited for the
children.
“This way, please, Mr. Graham!” “A moment, please.” Inclining his head slightly, Benjamin
wrapped an arm around Arissa and waited for the children.
In no time, the six children got out of the car. The instant the doorman spotted an
additional child, his eyes almost popped out of his head. Huh? How many kids exactly
does Mr. Graham have?
At the sight of the sextuplets’ exquisite features, he went green with envy. “Mommy!” All
six children trotted toward Arissa.
