Chapter 997
“Take a look and see if it's fine now.” Benjamin tossed the cotton pad away and let her check the result.
Arissa opened her eyes, moved closer to the mirror, and was shocked.
She gazed at Benjamin in slight surprise. “You did a wonderful job!”
He didn't rub away the makeup on the other parts of her face or make a mess cleaning her countenance.
She truly didn't anticipate Benjamin's technique to be so good.
Benjamin leaned against the dressing table and smiled. “Do you want me to help you draw your eyebrows?”
“I think that's not necessary.”
Arissa didn't believe he was skilled in that area, so she grabbed the eyeliner to touch up her makeup.
Benjamin fiddled with the eyebrow pencil while waiting for her to finish drawing her eyes. Then, he pinched her chin
and turned her face toward him. “Let me draw your eyebrows.”
Arissa's heart pounded rapidly and heavily against her chest as she gazed at his captivating, handsome facial
features.
Benjamin focused on drawing her eyebrows meticulously.

Tim was curious as well. Daddy seems to know everything. A hint of admiration flashed across his eyes.
Zachary glanced at Benjamin. “Mr. Graham, did you help other women draw their eyebrows too? Why are you so
proficient in doing this?”
Staring at Benjamin, Arissa was also eager to know the answer to that question.
Benjamin swept his eyes across the kids who had gathered around. Then, he turned to Arissa and said, “That's not
it.”
After Arissa was momentarily stunned, her heart palpitated. “Have you really never helped other women draw their
eyebrows?”
Benjamin bore his pensive eyes into hers and curved his thin lips. He was pleased to know that she cared about
him.
“Which woman do you think I helped?” he teased her.
She pouted. “How would I know?”
He tapped her nose affectionately and uttered gently, “There isn't another woman. You're the only person who can
enjoy this service from me.”
Gavin grinned.
Oliver, Jasper, and Jesse were also delighted. “That's more like it!”
Arissa couldn't help but curl her lips into a smile. He only draws my eyebrows, but why is he so skillful? Don't tell me
he used to do this to himself. “Then why are you such an expert?”
He cast a glance at her. “Putting on makeup was a technical skill taught in the army, so I learned it previously.”
Hearing his explanation, Arissa was dumbfounded. “You even had to learn something like this?”
“Of course. Everyone had to wear camo makeup on their faces, especially during special training.”
Benjamin described to her the things they needed to do during his special training in the past.
She nodded, but he held her face in place.
“Don't move unnecessarily,” he said sternly.
She knew about the army's special training in the jungle as she had seen those scenes on television.
She even had a similar experience in doing that.

at Benjamin and asked inquisitively, “Mr. Graham, why aren't you in the army anymore? It's such a privilege to
become a soldier.”
Benjamin's eyes glinted pensively. Sensing Zachary's interest in that subject, he asked, “Do you want to become a
soldier?”
Zachary nodded aspiringly. “Who wouldn't want to become a soldier? They are so cool!”
Benjamin was pleasantly surprised. He didn't expect Zachary to be fond of that.
“Being a soldier is tough. You'll need to train every day. Do you really want that?”
“Enduring that hardship is insignificant since I can protect my homeland,” Zachary responded proudly as if he had
already become a soldier.
Benjamin's eyes shone in approval. “You can become a soldier when you get older.”
“Okay!” Zachary was overjoyed.
Arissa looked at him and smiled.
“Mr. Graham, you haven't told me why you stopped being in the army?” Zachary stared at Benjamin intently while
probing further.
“I was getting old,” Benjamin replied tersely.
Zachary wasn't convinced. He pouted and said, “Getting old is a good thing. Those with advanced age get to
become generals.”
Benjamin was amused. Zachary has such great ambition. That's not bad.
