“Yes.” Benjamin nodded and opened the box.
Noticing that the dress was the same as her daughter's, Arissa's eyes glimmered.
“Is it the same as Jesse's?” she asked in an attempt to confirm.
Pleasantly surprised, she took the dress out of the box. However, she noticed that her
dress was a gown instead of a princess dress like Jesse's.
“Why don't you get changed?”
Benjamin fixated his eyes on her.
Arissa hummed in response. Just when she was about to head to the bathroom, Benjamin
stopped her.
“Change here. I'll change in the bathroom,” he said.
Then, he shot her a teasing glance.
“Well, go on, then,” Arissa urged him.
Benjamin raised his brows and turned back around to ask, “How about I help you get
changed?”
Arissa's face tinged bright pink. Embarrassed, she shot a sharp glance at him. “No,
thanks.”
Benjamin let out a chortle and turned back around to head for the closet.
Arissa seized the time and hurriedly changed into her new gown.

attempts.
She was left with no other choice but to seek help from Benjamin.
Arissa supported the gown in front of her chest and headed for the walk-in closet. She fell
into a momentary daze at the sight of Benjamin.
Dressed in a formal suit, Benjamin exuded a regal aura with his lofty and elegant
demeanor.
Right then, he was fastening his sleeve cuffs. Sensing her glances, he cocked his head
slightly aside to regard her.
Arissa felt her heart skip a beat.
She smiled. “Are you done?”
Benjamin arched a brow in a domineering manner and approached her.
“I'm almost done.”
Arissa eyed him and turned around. “Help me zip up the dress.”
Benjamin's eyes darkened. He swallowed a lump in his throat at the sight of the fair
porcelain skin on her back.
He stepped forward and helped her zip up the dress.
As his fingers traced over her back, Arissa quivered slightly. Her cheeks turned crimson at
the touch.
Benjamin eyed the back of her head and leaned over to kiss her nape.
Arissa hurriedly dodged and gave him a coquettish glare. “What are you doing?”
Benjamin's thin lips quirked into a devilish smirk. He reached out to circle her into his
embrace.
“Help me tie my necktie.”
Arissa felt her heart racing when she felt his hot breaths brush past her face.
She glanced over at him and met his burning gaze. Arissa felt her cheeks going hot once
again.
“Give me that.” She reached out her hands.
He lowered his head to kiss Arissa, and she blushed again on cue.
“Hurry up!”
Benjamin chuckled but did not let her go. “It's in my pocket.”
Arissa felt for the necktie in his pocket.
It was the same color as her ocean-blue sash on her waist.
Arissa helped him tie his necktie.
At the sight of her meek demeanor, Benjamin felt the urge to tease her.
“All done!”
Arissa lifted her head and once again locked her gaze with his deep-set eyes. She felt her
heart skipping a beat.
Falling into a daze, she blinked a few times. Then, she reminded him in a small voice,
“Could you let me go now?”
“I don't want to,” he whispered into her ears.
His hot breaths sent waves of tingles all over her body.

The tingling sensation made Arissa shrink her neck as she reached out to rub her ears.
“I need to put on my makeup. Let me go now!” she protested.
Benjamin titled his brow. He regarded her intently and muttered, “You look great even
without makeup.”
Arissa's lips twitched. She glared at him and retorted, “I don't dare to go to such a formal
event with a bare face!”
Benjamin let out a hearty chortle and let go of her.
“Could you take a look if the kids are done?” Arissa asked. She padded over to the
dressing table and started to put on her makeup.
Benjamin took a seat by the bedside and watched her put on some light makeup.
“It's easy for them to get changed. Don't worry!”
Arissa peered at the reflection of the man in the mirror. However, she soon diverted her
gaze and focused on applying her makeup.
Benjamin continued to regard her intently. She looks really great in that dress.
Arissa gave off a gentle and captivating vibe laced with a hint of mature charm.
Feeling his scrutinizing gaze, Arissa's eyes glinted.
After meeting Benjamin's fiery gaze, she quickly averted her gaze.
“Why do you keep staring at me?” Arissa grumbled.
She couldn't focus on applying her makeup.
