The More The Merrier Chapter 108

Chapter 108 This Is My House

Over at the dining table, Arissa, who was still eating with Gavin, turned around to check on Benjamin,

only to find him standing in front of her bedroom.

Her cheeks flushed crimson at once.

How could he enter my bedroom without my permission?

“Mr. Graham!” Arissa called out to him. She could not let him invade her privacy.

Benjamin turned to her, looking as composed as ever. He did not show a single shred of unease despite

being caught red-handed.

His handsome face remained calm as he explained, “I heard some noises coming from inside. I was just

checking to see if there are any rats!”

Arissa was rendered speechless by the sensible excuse.

“So, did you find any rats, Mr. Graham?”

“No. Perhaps it’s in the other room. Let me go check.”

As he said that, he turned around and headed toward the other room.

Arissa’s heart almost leaped out of her chest. Hastily, she stormed over and blocked his way.

“Mr. Graham, there are certainly no rats in my house. You must be hearing things.”

Benjamin did not expect her to do that. Unable to halt his tracks, he bumped straight into her.



As a result, Arissa found herself pressed against the door. Flushing crimson, Arissa stretched out a hand

in an attempt to push him away.

Yet, Benjamin remained where he was.

With a hand on the door, he boxed her in his embrace.

Gavin turned around to sneak a glance and burst into a furtive giggle before resuming his dinner.

“Are you afraid to let me in?”

Benjamin lowered his gaze at her, looking unabashed as if he was the owner of this house.

“Very funny. That’s not it. It’s rather messy in here, and I don’t want you to see it!”

Arissa tried her hardest to suppress her nerves. It was difficult to keep a straight face, especially when

she was in his arms.

“Now that you mentioned it, I really think we should have a look in case of rats! They can be quite

dangerous as they carry a variety of viruses. I don’t think a woman like you can deal with them on your

own. It’ll be best if you let me check,” Benjamin said sternly.

“Thanks for your offer, Mr. Graham, but I can handle it on my own!”

The corner of her mouth twitched nervously at the thought of Benjamin discovering the four children

hiding inside.

“Mr. Graham, this is my house!”

Raising her voice, Arissa reminded him that he was the guest here.

Sensing the distress in her eyes, Benjamin’s gaze flickered as he bent down and drew closer to her.



The distance between them gradually diminished. Soon, they got so close that they could even see the

pores on the other person’s face.

Benjamin’s warm breath sprayed onto her face, giving rise to a suggestive atmosphere.

Arissa picked up on the man’s intense pheromones. Her heart raced uncontrollably as her ears flushed.

She swallowed instinctively. “Mr. Graham…”

“Are you hiding something from me?”

Just as Benjamin’s lips almost touched hers, he came to a halt before questioning in a deep voice.

With her back pressed against the door, Arissa smiled sheepishly. She lifted her eyes only to meet the

man’s enthralling gaze. She quickly looked away.

“What could I be possibly hiding from you?”

Benjamin’s gaze remained fixed on her.

At that moment, Arissa felt that her heart could almost leaped out of her chest.

She pushed Benjamin again, but he did not even budge.

The pair stayed rooted to the spot in a somewhat amorous position.

Arissa swallowed nervously and asked, “Mr. Graham, will you get off me, please?”

Benjamin stared at her flushed ears as his gaze darkened.

Her sweet scent kept creeping into his nose, teasing the desire rising from the depth of his heart.



Arissa could not read his thoughts at all. Whenever Benjamin was quiet, he always exuded a profound

aura that managed to induce a sense of apprehension.

Suddenly, Benjamin loosened his grip on her and said in a deep voice, “Get back to dinner.”

He turned around and headed toward the living room. In a bid to conceal his feelings, he sat with his

back facing Arissa.

Benjamin’s eyes slightly narrowed as a hint of a flush washed over his face.

Arissa glanced at Benjamin and his broad shoulders. It was some time later when she rejoined Gavin at

the dining table.

“Sweetheart, you go back with Daddy first, okay?”

Bending over, Arissa gently coaxed the boy as she placed her hands on his shoulders.

Gavin nodded. “Sure. Can I still visit tomorrow, Mommy?”

“Of course. You can come over whenever you please, Gavin.”

Arissa held Gavin in her arms and kissed his delicate face.
