Chapter 149 She Only Had Her Children In Mind
“How are you this charming, Sweetheart?”
Arissa sang Gavin’s praises as she was about to carry him down the stairs. She couldn’t resist the urge
to pinch his squishy cheeks.
Gavin giggled in response. He behaved in a very cutesy manner whenever he was with Arissa.
He batted his long eyelashes, which made him appear all the more lovable and adorable.
Benjamin’s eyes flashed over in Gavin’s direction. He was slightly baffled by how different Gavin was in
front of Arissa.
“Come over here! Daddy will carry you down the stairs!”
He quickly took Gavin into his arms when they reached the top of the stairs.
Arissa glanced over at him and felt that, contrary to his usual domineering appearance, Benjamin had a
rather considerate side to him.
“Watch your step!”
Benjamin warned her with Gavin in one arm and the other on her back.
She blushed in embarrassment.

“Oh!” she exclaimed, dropping her head to look at the stairs.
Benjamin held onto her with his hand, which could feel how hot her skin was under her thin clothing.
She unconsciously picked up her pace, but it did not help put any distance between them.
Arissa’s cheeks were a rosy red.
She snuck a peek at Benjamin but saw that he kept his eyes forward with a cold straight face.
She averted her gaze and kept her feelings in check.
He’s just being nice!
Benjamin turned to look at her as they made it down the stairs.
He naturally retracted his hand before putting Gavin back down on the floor.
“Get over there yourself!”
His deep voice bore a serious tone.
Gavin glanced at Benjamin, then headed for the kitchen hand in hand with Arissa.
“Mommy, let’s go have breakfast!”
“Okay!”
Uncontrollably, Arissa always looked at Gavin with an abundance of love and affection.
Benjamin’s gaze glinted with emotion as it fell on Arissa’s smiling face.
While Arissa and Gavin went ahead, she could feel someone staring at her from behind, which made her
heart beat faster.
However, she didn’t catch Benajmin staring at her when she tried to catch a glimpse from the
surrounding reflective surfaces.
Hence, she thought she was being too sensitive and stopped thinking too deeply about it.
Benjamin’s gaze moved from her face to her body.
She was wearing a white pencil skirt, which accentuated her hourglass figure.
Her outfit brought out all her merits. She was seeping with maturity, elegance, and sexual appeal.
Arissa paired the white pencil skirt with a mint green satin blouse. It was simple, fashionable, and
sensible.
Her exposed white calves and delicate ankles seemed to be tempting Benjamin to play with them.
His eyes darkened.
“I want to sit with Mommy!”
Gavin’s voice traveled through the kitchen. Benjamin picked him up and put him in his chair.
Arissa let go of Gavin’s hand and pulled out a chair.
Benjamin took a quick look at her, then sat at the head of the table.
Subsequently, she took her seat.
Edwin hurriedly served breakfast.
A bowl of the broth Arissa cooked was given to both Arissa and Gavin.
On the other hand, Edwin served Benjamin western breakfast. Several other eastern breakfast dishes
were also placed on the dining table.

Arissa tended to Gavin’s breakfast. She stirred the broth to cool it down.
“Okay!”
Gavin nodded and scooped a spoonful of the broth. He blew it a few times before drinking it.
“Yummy!”
Arissa patted his head with a gentle grin.
Meanwhile, Benjamin was frowning at his breakfast that was different from Arissa and Gavin’s.
He turned to Edwin and instructed him coldly, “Get me a bowl of the broth!”
Edwin was startled. He looked toward Benjamin and said apologetically, “Mr. Graham, there isn’t any
left.”
The folds between his brows tightened. He knew Arissa made a large portion.
He glared at Edwin and questioned, “Isn’t there a whole pot?”
Edwin turned to Arissa awkwardly.
She didn’t expect Benjamin to want any; seeing as Edwin was in a difficult position, she explained,
“Graham, I thought you didn’t like having soup for breakfast, so I packed it all for Gavin to bring to
school. If you really want some, Edwin can get you a bowl!”
With one look, Benjamin instantly knew what Arissa had in mind.
She wanted Gavin to bring the broth to school for the other children, didn’t she? All she ever thinks about
is her children. Did she not think to at least make an extra serving for me?
