Chapter 125 Father Of Your Children
Benjamin looked at her. “Gavin asked to call you up here for lunch!”
Arissa looked at him with surprise, though her eyes sparkled with delight. “Oh, Gavin!” she giggled.
Benjamin found himself furrowing his brows as he looked at Arissa’s bright smile.
“He’s such a good boy! Why didn’t he call me?” Arissa whipped out her phone as if to call him on the
spot.
“Finish your meal first!” Benjamin snapped. “You’ve no time to make calls. We must discuss something
after this.”
Startled, Arissa eyed the scowling man in front of her.
He was really impossible to figure out.
She set down her phone and started to eat rapidly.
Benjamin shot her a look. “Eat slower! I’m not forcing you to eat, after all.”
Arissa was speechless. She would probably get indigestion dining with him.
“It’s a bit stressful eating with you,” she replied breezily.
Benjamin noticed her plastered-on smile.

It was nothing at all like the bright expression she had when he had mentioned Gavin, and he felt struck
by a pang of unhappiness.
Arissa was eating at a normal rate now, at least.
It was honestly a little awkward.
Neither of them spoke to each other.
The office was completely silent except for the sound of them eating.
Arissa suddenly felt very conscious of the sounds of herself eating, so she tried her best not to make any
noise.
Her chewing became strained.
Hiccup!
She swallowed, thinking she could stifle the hiccup, but all it did was make her hiccups even more
obvious.
Benjamin noticed it and walked around to her back, where he patted her back firmly.
“Thanks…” Hiccup!
Benjamin poured her a glass of water.
She felt much better after drinking it.
“You ate too fast, didn’t you?” It almost sounded like Benjamin was teasing her.
Arissa was fed up. “Ah, I’m not used to eating with you! I’m quite nervous!”
Benjamin shot her a look.
Arissa smiled awkwardly. “Thank you, Mr. Graham. The food is delicious.”
She didn’t dare to eat more in case she embarrassed herself further.
“Have some more if you like it.” Benjamin sat back down and passed her some more food. “You might
say I’m a terrible boss who doesn’t even let his employees eat!”
Looking at his serious expression, she couldn’t help but ask, “Is that really what you think of me, Mr.
Graham?”
He shot her a steely gaze.
Arissa blinked.
Moments later, she looked away. “Just ignore that!”
She bowed her head and ate. The food was certainly to her liking.
Gavin really understood her.
The thought made her heart swell.
Benjamin’s attention was fixated entirely on this woman who was simply enjoying her food. Her stunning
makeup stood out to him first. He slowly realized that she possessed a certain beauty that stole one’s
breath away.
“Do you know who the father of your children is?”
Arissa froze.
Her heart sped up as she met Benjamin’s gaze. “I don’t really know who he is…”

Arissa cast her gaze downward. She hadn’t known who their father was before she returned home.
She hadn’t even known it was him before they met.
Benjamin gazed at her sharply, and his eyes flashed. “You haven’t thought of finding him?”
“It’s too difficult.” Arissa continued eating.
The next few words tumbled out of her. “Why haven’t you married Danna?”
Benjamin’s brows arched sharply and he uttered, “I don’t like being schemed against!”
Eh? She stared blankly at him.
Benjamin continued eating. He didn’t elaborate.
Arissa looked at him carefully.
Is it possible that he knows Danna isn’t Gavin’s biological mother? If he does, why didn’t he look into it?
It was a little suspicious.
“Is she… scheming against you?” she asked quietly.
Benjamin looked up at her. “Would you like to know?”
Arissa gulped. Who wouldn’t want to know? She couldn’t get her words out.
She smiled awkwardly. “It’s fine not to tell me, Mr. Graham. I won’t press you.”
Benjamin’s gaze was fixed solely on her. “I’ll tell you, but only if you tell me who the father of your
children is first!”
There was a deafening silence.
