Chapter 945 Dress Up Like a Boy

Benjamin sealed her lips with his, stimulating her nerves in the process. His passionate kiss caused her to have difficulty catching her breath. She patted his back and reminded him in an undertone, “Let go of me. Others will see us.”

Benjamin turned her face around and kissed her again. Arissa’s heart skipped a beat as his intense, masculine presence dominated her senses, causing her mind to go blank.

Benjamin wrapped his arm tightly around her waist and pulled her close, preventing her from slumping to the ground. He finally let go of her after he was satisfied.

Their hot and humid breaths tangled in the air, rendering the atmosphere ambiguous. He pressed his forehead against hers and gently exhaled in her face, sending a tingling sensation throughout her body.

Ripples formed in Arissa’s heart as she lowered her head to avoid him. “We should go now.” Benjamin’s gaze darkened as he took in her shy demeanor.

“Are you sure you want to go now? Do you want to take some time to calm yourself down?”

Arissa felt self-conscious, looking at the teasing look on his face. “I’ve already composed myself!” She pushed him aside and marched toward the ward.

Staring at her slender figure from behind, Benjamin straightened his clothes and strode forward to grasp her hand.

“Aren’t you going to wait for me?”

He turned his face sideways to look at her.

“You’re already here. Is there a need to wait for you?”

Benjamin gently pinched her face.

Arissa’s cheeks reddened. NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.

He held her hand with their fingers interlaced. “Grandaunt will only be delighted if she sees us entering together.”

Arissa chuckled.

When they stepped into the room, they noticed the kids surrounding Mary and having a lot of fun.

They stayed there for almost an hour to keep Mary company before going out for their meal.

Kingsley wanted to tag along, but Benjamin shot him a stern look.

Kingsley widened his eyes in shock and chirped sheepishly, “I won’t go, so will you stop glaring at me?”

Shaun placed his arm on Kingsley’s shoulder. “Don’t just follow them around and be their third wheel. Benjamin and Arissa are going on a date. Why are you going too?”

“But the kids are joining them,” Kingsley muttered.

Shaun rolled his eyes at him.

“They are their children. How can you compare yourself to the kids?”

Kingsley pursed his lips and grinned at Arissa the next second. “Arissa, enjoy your date with Benjamin. If you think the kids are a nuisance, contact me anytime. I’ll pick them up and bring them away.”

Arissa was amused.

Benjamin glowered at Kingsley one last time before bidding farewell to Mary and left with Arissa and the children.

“Bye. We’re going out to eat!”

The six kids said their goodbyes one after the other and skipped toward the elevator.

Arissa kept her eyes trained on her children. “Slow down and don’t run around!”

“We got it, Mommy.”

Jesse beamed, revealing the gap formed by her missing front teeth. Her dimples appeared exceptionally adorable.

Benjamin glanced at Jesse and said to Arissa, “Why did you dress up Jesse as a boy?”

Arissa’s eyes gleamed.

“Isn’t there a problem?”

Jesse lacked courage, so Arissa wanted her to learn from her brothers and do everything like a boy would to build her courage.

“She’s a little girl. Why does she need to dress up like a boy?” I still remember seeing her wearing a dress at the entrance previously. She seemed so cute. “Let her wear dresses in the future!”

Hearing his assertive tone, Arissa laughed lightly. “She should still wear the same uniform as her brothers when attending school, no?” Jesse’s hair is still short. She doesn’t look that good in dresses.

Benjamin scowled at her. “Aren’t you afraid Jesse will behave like a boy when she grows up?”

Arissa snorted with laughter. “That’s even better. Perhaps Jesse will become more daring if she acts like a boy.”

Benjamin was rendered speechless.

“Jesse is too timid. I’m trying to help her build her courage,” Arissa said.
