You More Than Anything In The World
Chapter 575

"N-Nothing at all!" she replied awkwardly while patting herself on the chest.

D*mn, how is this guy able to move so quietly? I didn't even hear him coming! He nearly gave me a heart attack!

Benjamin grinned when he saw her blushing.

"Were you looking for me?"

Arissa got a little flustered when she heard that, but cleared her throat and tried to sound normal as she asked, "Did you sleep in the kids' room last night?"

Benjamin asked with a chuckle, "You don't know where I slept last night?"

Of course I don't! Duh! Why would I even be asking this if I knew? The only reason he caught me snooping around was because I wanted to replace out! Arissa thought to herself.

Benjamin flashed her a devilish smile as he grabbed her arm and led her toward the living room.

Because the palm of his hand was burning hot, Arissa instinctively tried to curl her fingers.

The look in Benjamin's eyes changed when he felt her finger scraping against his palm.

Sensing a hint of sexual tension in the air, Arissa stole a glance at him, only to meet his eyes the moment she did.

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

Benjamin's lips curled into a faint grin as he pinned her against the wall of the corridor and savored her blushing face.

This is all it takes to get her as red as a tomato? Man, she sure is cute!

Arissa's heart was racing like crazy as she pressed her back against the wall, but she tried to play it cool and asked, "Oh? What's with this move? Did you learn this from some cheesy romance flick, Graham?"

With an eyebrow playfully arched, Benjamin leaned in close and breathed down her face. His breath felt really warm on her skin, and Arissa found herself getting even more flustered as a result.

"What, you like it when I pin you against a wall?"

Benjamin's insanely handsome face coupled with his casual tone made him all the more charming.

Unable to handle his charm, Arissa looked the other way as she mumbled, "N-No, I don't!"

"Hmph, how stubborn!"

Benjamin's grin widened as he slowly traced a finger across her cheek.

He was pushing all of her buttons in the right way and sending ripples through her heart.

"I don't like it when you blush!" he whispered into her ear with a seductive voice, causing her to blush even harder in response.

What? Blushing is a natural physical response! It's not like I can control whether I blush or not! I tried to remain calm, but my face just turns red on its own!

Benjamin felt incredibly satisfied when he saw her response.

"What do you want?" Arissa asked angrily when she heard him laughing.

Benjamin responded by caressing her face affectionately as he said, "I slept with you last night!"

The next thing she knew, he planted a quick kiss on her cheek and returned to the room.

Arissa buried her bright red face in her palms as she thought to herself.

What a jerk! He did that on purpose, didn't he? No, this won't do... I need to stay calm! I can't be the first to freak out! Wait, I thought he was rumored to be uninterested in women? Why is he flirting with me now? Are all men like this? Also, what does he mean he slept with me? It's obviously the kids that he slept with! Good thing there's no one else around here, or they might really get the wrong idea!

She then smacked herself on the cheeks in an attempt to clear her head before entering the kitchen.

However, she froze in shock when she saw that the kitchen was completely empty.

Apart from milk, everything else was gone. It looked as if burglars had raided the entire kitchen overnight.

Even the refrigerator had been emptied, so there was nothing she could cook at all.

What's going on here?

Her mind went blank for quite a while before she snapped out of it and decided to question Benjamin.
