Once more, Benjamin pinched Arissa's cheek. The excitement continued coursing through him for a long time.
Once more, Benjamin pinched Arissa's cheek. The excitement continued coursing through him for a long time.
Reflexively dodging, Arissa burrowed into his arms.
Benjamin looked down at her peaceful countenance and gritted her teeth. She'll be getting it from me!
He then pinched her nose, only to see her dodging and nestling into his embrace again.
In a flash, his desire to tease her vanished into thin air. His thin lips curved upward slightly.
Propping his head up with a hand, he gazed at the little girl sleeping beside Arissa. Jesse smacked her lips from time
to time, looking indescribably cute.
He reached out and stroked her face with a hint of an indulgent smile playing on his lips.
It turns out that I've got a daughter.
A proud smile manifested on his face and remained there for some time.
He didn't even know how long passed before he finally fell asleep.
When Benjamin woke up the next day, Arissa and the children were no longer in bed.
He glanced at the time, only to see that he had awakened an hour later than usual.
After washing up, he went downstairs. At the sight of Arissa and the children helping her out in the kitchen, he went

“Good morning, kids!”
“Good morning, Daddy!”
“Good morning, Mr. Graham!”
The six children greeted Benjamin in return, one after another.
An indulgent smile bloomed on Benjamin's face, and he stroked their heads.
Then, he walked right up to Arissa and wrapped a long arm around her.
Leaning down, he planted a kiss on her. “Good morning, Honey!”
Arissa's face flamed. “Good morning!”
All the children regarded them with bright eyes and smiles on their faces.
“Mr. Graham kissed Mommy again!” Jasper quipped.
Mortification deluged Arissa, and she put some distance between them.
Conversely, Benjamin wasn't embarrassed at all. He swept his gaze over Jasper. “Is it against the law?”
In response, Jasper chuckled dryly.
“Still, you can't do so in front of us. How shameless!” Zachary interjected with a harrumph.
Benjamin chortled softly. “You can go somewhere else.”
The six children were rendered speechless, the corners of their mouths twitching.
How did Daddy become so shameless?
Just then, Arissa bumped Benjamin's arm lightly.
Immediately, Benjamin swung his gaze over and stared at her.
Meeting his scorching and unfathomable gaze, Arissa blinked, feeling somewhat bemused.
“Come with me!”
Benjamin took her hand and started walking out.
“Hey, I'm in the middle of preparing breakfast!”
Arissa tried to stop him from dragging her out but to no avail.
The eyes of all six children followed them intently, their curiosity piqued.
Benjamin pulled Arissa along until they reached a corner. Blocking the children's curious gazes, he pinned her
against the wall with an arm.
Arissa's heart skipped a few beats. As the man's enthralling pheromones drifted into her nostrils, an enticing shade
of scarlet tinted her cheeks.
“What are you doing?”
She eyed him dubiously, only to find things all the more mystifying at his indecipherable expression.

“You've been lying to me long enough, Arissa York!”
Arissa's eyes went wide at the man's accusation.
On instinct, she countered, “How have I been lying to you?”
Benjamin's thin lips lifted a fraction, curving into a devilish smirk.
In a low voice, he questioned, “What do you think?”
A trace of guilt slithered into Arissa when she met his enigmatic gaze that seemingly saw right through her.
“What exactly are you trying to say?”
Considering the suddenness of his question, she had no idea what he was referring to.
Narrowing his eyes, Benjamin continued staring at her. He brushed his long and slender fingers across her face.
However, Arissa dodged.
“So, you're hiding more than one thing from me?”
“What am I hiding from you? Spit it out!”
His interrogation had Arissa wholly confounded.
Gritting his teeth, Benjamin leaned close to her ear and stated in a deep voice, “Jesse is a girl. Why did you keep me
in the dark?”
Arissa's eyes went wide in astonishment. Ah, so he was referring to this.
“When did you find out about it?” she faltered.
Benjamin narrowed his eyes dangerously. “Were you not planning to tell me until I found out about it myself?”
Swallowing, Arissa beamed at him ingratiatingly.
