Chapter 299 Did You Wash Your Hair

She snorted, “Why would I ask you if I wasn’t planning on making them?”

Benjamin snorted in return. This woman is getting feistier by the day.

“If you can’t cope, get Edwin to help you!”

Arissa was taken aback by Benjamin’s instructions.

She stared at him with a smile. “I know. I’ve asked Edwin to buy me a roast chicken.” Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

When Benjamin locked eyes with her, he felt as if they were a siren calling out to him.

He raised his hand to pinch her cheeks before leaving the kitchen.

Arissa’s face reddened in response.

Running his fingers over where he pinched her, she could feel her heart pounding.

His reaction is certainly baffling.

After regaining her senses from his beguiling gesture, she continued cooking dinner.

Soon, Edwin returned just when Arissa finished preparing the first dish.

“Mrs. Graham, let me help you!”

Arissa laughed awkwardly.

“Edwin, don’t call me that. You’re embarrassing me!”

Edwin chuckled. “You’ll get used to it sooner or later. Besides, you’ll soon take on the title officially.”

Arissa felt abashed. “You should wait till then to call me that.”

Edwin laughed as he put away the roast chicken to be warmed.

“Edwin, can you take over the stove for me. I need to prepare the eggs,” Arissa instructed and proceeded to steam the eggs.

After that, she returned to grill the fish.

“All right now, I’ll take over.”

Edwin was no match for her in the kitchen.

Within one hour, Arissa prepared all the dishes.

“Ms. York, you should take a break. Let me set the table instead,” Edwin offered.

Grinning, Arissa didn’t insist. After she took off her apron, she went to the study to get Benjamin for dinner.

However, when she didn’t find him there, she went to check the living hall.

There, she heard the children’s laughter outside and walked out instead.

Nevertheless, she only saw Kingsley and the five kids. There was no sign of Benjamin.

“Did you guys see Benjamin?”

Kingsley turned to look at her. “Isn’t he in the study?”

“I didn’t see him there.”

Arissa figured that Benjamin was somewhere in the house still. Hence, she went upstairs to check.

“Mommy, is it time for dinner?” Jesse gulped.

Mommy’s cooking is so delicious that I can even smell it outside.

“Mmm-hmm. We can start once I find Daddy. Mr. Watts, please bring the children to wash their hands, as we’re about to have dinner.”

After making the request, Arissa headed upstairs.

Upon entering his bedroom, she saw Benjamin coming out of the bathroom. “It’s time for dinner.”

Benjamin glanced at her. “Mmm-hmm.”

Arissa scrutinized him a bit. “Are you feeling better?”

Benjamin pulled up his shirt and exposed his abdomen.

Jolted by his action, Arissa checked intently to see if the allergy was still there.

“There’s a little left still. I’ll help you apply the medication after dinner.”

Benjamin walked up to her and placed his hand on the top of her head. “Let’s go!”

However, Arissa ducked and avoided his hand, causing Benjamin to give her the side-eye.

A cheeky smile broke out on her face. “Mr. Graham, please don’t pet my head like you would do a dog. It makes my hair oily!”

With glistening eyes, Benjamin lifted some of her fringes and smelled them.

He complained, “Arissa, how many days have you not washed your hair? It smells nasty.”

Arissa pulled back her hair and sniffed.

“It’s not nasty at all. It smells of… the food I was cooking just now!”

“It stinks!” Benjamin broke out a devilish smile before walking in front of her.

Feeling exasperated, Arissa stared at his figure.

“Why don’t you stay in the kitchen for two hours and see if you become just as smelly?” she bellowed.

Who can still smell nice after doing their chores? He’s nuts!

With his back facing her, Benjamin smiled smugly to himself.

She looks adorable trying to explode at something so trivial.
