You More Than Anything In The World
Chapter 818

"You've not tried the candies?" the children asked.

"Nope. We saved them for you!"

"Thank you!"

The men grinned. "Go on and take it. See if it tastes good!"

Arissa smiled and turned to Benjamin. "You keep them company. I'll get changed and prepare some food. Have you thought of what to eat?"

"I'll come with you to see what I can eat!"

Benjamin raised his chin and decided to go upstairs with her.

Meanwhile, Edwin came out and served the guests some fruits. "Mr. and Mrs. Graham, are you still hungry? Should I prepare some snacks for you?"

"Don't worry about it. I'll prepare the food myself," Arissa responded with a smile.

Edwin looked at them and bobbed his head in acknowledgment. "All right. The children only just returned, but they've had their dinner at the hospital."

Arissa nodded and went upstairs to change into casual wear while Benjamin followed behind.

Turning to the gorgeous man, she asked, "You want to change too?"

Benjamin hummed in response and entered the bedroom. He went straight to the closet to retrieve a pair of clothes and passed them to her. "Need my help?"

Arissa blushed instantly but replied in a resolute tone, "No, thank you."

Benjamin arched his brows. He then changed into the clothes he picked out from the closet.

Arissa's heart started racing the moment the man took off his clothes. She could not avert her gaze from his muscular body.

Benjamin tilted his head and stared at her, but she immediately looked away and was ready to go elsewhere to change.

"I'm done. You can change here!" Benjamin buttoned his shirt and stepped out of the room. "I'll wait outside."

Arissa glanced at him and was amazed at how dashing he was from every angle.

"Oh, okay," she responded. After the man had left, she closed the door and started changing.

Yet, after several attempts, she still could not reach the dress' zip on her back, and she eventually felt her arms aching.

Arissa had no choice but to open the door and look for Benjamin.

Upon noticing he was scrolling through his phone on the couch, she cleared her throat to get his attention. "Benjamin, can you do me a favor?"

The man looked up and gazed steadily into her eyes. "What is it?"

Embarrassment swelled in her when she saw the subtle smirk on his face. "Help me with the zip, please."

"Sure. My pleasure." Benjamin got up and walked toward her.

Arissa turned her back to him.

Her silky-smooth skin instantly caught the man's attention when he unzipped her dress.

A few love bites behind her shoulders looked like flowers that had bloomed beautifully.

Benjamin's eyes darkened as a passionate glint flashed across his eyes.

He leaned forward and kissed her back.

That sent a shiver down Arissa's spine. She held onto her gown and distanced herself from the man.

Benjomin tilted his heod ond stored ot her, but she immediotely looked owoy ond wos reody to go elsewhere to chonge.

"I'm done. You con chonge here!" Benjomin buttoned his shirt ond stepped out of the room. "I'll woit outside."

Arisso glonced ot him ond wos omozed ot how doshing he wos from every ongle.

"Oh, okoy," she responded. After the mon hod left, she closed the door ond storted chonging.

Yet, ofter severol ottempts, she still could not reoch the dress' zip on her bock, ond she eventually felt her orms oching.

Arisso hod no choice but to open the door ond look for Benjomin.

Upon noticing he wos scrolling through his phone on the couch, she cleored her throot to get his ottention. "Benjomin, con you do me o fovor?"

The mon looked up ond gozed steodily into her eyes. "Whot is it?"

Emborrossment swelled in her when she sow the subtle smirk on his foce. "Help me with the zip, pleose."

"Sure. My pleosure." Benjomin got up ond wolked toword her.

Arisso turned her bock to him.

Her silky-smooth skin instontly cought the mon's ottention when he unzipped her dress.

A few love bites behind her shoulders looked like flowers thot hod bloomed beoutifully.

Benjomin's eyes dorkened os o possionote glint floshed ocross his eyes.

He leoned forword ond kissed her bock.

Thot sent o shiver down Arisso's spine. She held onto her gown ond distonced herself from the mon.

Her cheeks instantly turned rosy, and she asked in embarrassment, "What are you doing?"

"I couldn't help it." Benjamin raised his brows, his gaze filled with passion.

Arissa's face was flushed. "Go out, please. I want to change!"

Benjamin pressed his palm against the door and smirked. "Shall we just stay in the room and not go downstairs?"

"What are you talking about? Everyone is waiting for us!" Arissa could read between the lines.

She shot daggers at him and shoved him out of the room. "Wait outside!"

As the door gradually closed, Benjamin cleared his throat and said, "Call me again if you need my help!"

The corners of Arissa's mouth twitched. She quickly removed the gown, set it aside, and changed into the casual attire Benjamin had taken for her.

After putting aside her gown and Benjamin's clothes, she opened the door and stepped out of the room.

Benjamin looked at her and said, "Let's go down."

"Okay!"

Did he not say he didn't want to go down? Despite having that question in mind, Arissa decided to keep mum and responded with a smile.

Benjamin grabbed her hand. Together, they left the room and went downstairs.

While they were coming downstairs, Kingsley tilted his head to look at them and teased, "What were you guys doing upstairs? You were gone for so long."

Benjamin glared at him. "Shut up!"

Everyone held their laughter.
