Arissa chuckled under her breath when she saw Benjamin's exasperated expression.

In response, Benjamin gave her a side-eye.

Arissa quickly averted her gaze to watch the old man play chess with Oliver.

Arissa quickly shook her head as her survival instincts kicked in.

Benjamin arched his brow and gazed at her, the look in his eyes as dark and deep as the ocean.
