Chapter 219 Do You Like What You See

Arissa went downstairs and poured two glasses of milk.

She finished a glass before going upstairs with another.

Shortly afterward, she knocked on Benjamin's door, but there was no answer.

"Benjamin?"

Since she did not hear any response, she opened the door and looked around, but there was no one on the bed.

I thought he was asleep.

Then, she went in and placed the glass of milk on the bedside table.

Just when she whipped around to head out, she ran into someone.

"Ahh!"

She jumped in shock and almost fell to the ground.

Immediately, Benjamin wrapped his arm around her waist.

With that, Arissa fell into his embrace. Her face turned red the moment she smelled the scent of his body after taking a shower. H-He doesn't have any clothes on.

She was taken aback by his fit physique and blinked in a panic, not knowing where to look.

Lowering his head, he took in her shy expression.

The corner of his lips was raised slightly, forming a devilish smirk. "Do you like what you see?"

In response, Arissa widened her eyes in disbelief. How can he say something so suggestive?

"What did I see? I didn't see anything!"

After all, he was not completely naked.

While pushing him away, she caught sight of his waist.

His abs were well-grooved and extremely sexy.

Benjamin's gaze darkened as he leaned forward.

Surprised, Arissa stepped back, leaning against the bedside table behind her. Her heart started beating vigorously.

The next moment, he bent over, grabbed the glass of milk, and took a sip.

"It's a little hot."

She was so embarrassed when their eyes met because she thought he was going to kiss her earlier on.

"Mr. Graham, take your time. I'll go out first." Having said that, Arissa slowly moved aside, but before she could leave, he grabbed her wrist.

"What's the hurry?" Benjamin glanced at her.

Her heart skipped a beat as she looked at him confusedly.

"Anything else?"

"What do you think?" His gaze was intense, staring into the depths of her eyes.

Sensing the change in the atmosphere, she avoided his eyes.

"Mr. Graham, please get straight to the point."

Moments later, Benjamin let go of her hand and sat on the bed, slowly drinking the glass of milk. However, his eyes were fixated on her with unveiled desire. In an instant, Arissa felt uncomfortable.

What is he trying to do?

When he was drinking the glass of milk, his Adam's apple bobbed up and down, looking oddly seductive.

Mesmerized, she could not take her eyes off him.

Finally, he finished drinking the milk and put down the glass.

"You brought the children away because you were trying to hide from me?"

It took her some time to follow his train of thought.

"No. With your ability, it's just a matter of time before you replace us. I was only trying to buy time."

Arissa gazed at the man who had a strong aura. Even if he was sitting on the bed half-naked, she still felt intimidated. Hearing her answer, Benjamin sneered.

Not only was she honest, but she also flattered him.

"You told Gavin to ask for the money?" he queried with an expressionless face.

She took a brief look at him and answered cautiously, "It was me. What's wrong?"

Gavin had asked me about it, so it was indeed my idea. Would Benjamin think that I'm a gold digger?

She stole glances at him, thinking that he would hate her, but his expression was inscrutable.

"Since you've offered a bounty of one hundred million, who knows whether you'll increase the amount if you fail to replace us? Instead of letting others report us and getting the money, why can't I earn it myself?" He would replace them in the end anyway. It would be a waste if she did not get that money.

Staring at her, he asked, "Why didn't you tell me yourself?"

Arissa blinked and wondered what he meant. Does it even matter whether it was the kids or me who contacted him?

"Arissa, were you planning to hide the existence of the other four children from me if I hadn't found out?"

Abruptly, he got up and stood in front of her.

There was practically no distance between them.

Her face could vaguely feel the heat of his body.

Smiling sheepishly, she took a step back.

"Well..."
