Chapter 814

Chapter 814 I Never Promised You Anything

Despite Arissa’s tug at his sleeve, Benjamin held her hand and asserted to Rosetta, “I never

promised you anything, Ms. Adams, so why is it necessary for you to say such a thing in

front of my partner?”



Even though he had previously considered dating Rosetta before, Benjamin had never made

his thoughts known.

Instead, it was the lovestruck Rosetta who kept using Aaron to get close to Benjamin.

Consequently, those not in the know would assume from Rosetta’s words that both of them

used to be in a relationship.

Despite the drastic change in her expression, Rosetta had nothing to rebut with.

In contrast to everyone else watching the drama unfold, Arissa looked at Benjamin,

stunned. He was never in a relationship with Rosetta?

“Hey, Benjamin, what are you doing? Don’t scare Ms. Adams like that during such a joyous

occasion. Come, let’s drink!”

Worried that the situation would escalate, Kingsley quickly stood up to ease the tension.

“Ms. Adams, don’t mind Benjamin. You know how he is. Anyway, you should go on ahead

and entertain your other guests. We’ll take care of ourselves here.” Kingsley ushered her

away.

Coincidentally, Aaron—who happened to be nearby—walked over.

“What’s going on?”



“Nothing. Nothing at all.”




Kingsley, trying to mend the situation, didn’t dare say much.

Taking in everyone’s expression, Aaron ordered Rosetta with a grim look, “Go and entertain

the other guests. Mom already has her hands full. Hurry up now!”

“Aaron!” Rosetta whined as she tried to suppress her anger.

“Go now!” Aaron barked with a threatening look in his eyes, for he didn’t want her to

disgrace herself further.

Only then did Rosetta leave as Aaron entertained his friends.

“Benjamin, please continue to enjoy yourselves. I need to tend to some relatives before

coming back to drink with you guys.”

Benjamin simply nodded.

“Go on. We’ll be fine here,” Kingsley reassured him with a smile.

Shaun and Jonathan added, “Yes, you go ahead. You don’t have to stay with us.”

Arissa, too, nodded at Aaron with a smile.

While serving her food, Benjamin ordered, “Eat quickly! Once you’re done, we’ll be heading

home.”

She glanced at him. “Okay.”

As she focused on her food, Benjamin drank with the guys instead.

By the time the children gave Arissa a call, she was almost done.

“Mommy, what time are you coming back? We’re about to go home.”



As Gavin stared intently at her through the video call, Arissa chuckled.

“We’re probably leaving soon too. Once you’re home, you all should wash up first.”

“Okay, Mommy. We’ll be waiting for you at home,” Gavin remarked before ending the call.

Benjamin glanced in her direction. “Let’s go home now.”

“Hmm? That quick?” Arissa was stunned.

Benjamin cocked a brow. “How much longer do you plan on waiting?”

The corner of Arissa’s mouth twitched. “This is your friend’s wedding. If you don’t think it’s

an issue, we can go anytime.”

“Arissa, Benjamin has already shown Aaron a lot of respect. If it were anyone else, he

wouldn’t even attend. In fact, Aaron came to see him many times before this. Just when all

of us thought that he wasn’t going to come, he gave us all a pleasant surprise by turning up

with you,” Kingsley revealed with a smile.

Taken aback by the revelation, Arissa asked Benjamin softly, “Is Aaron not your friend?”

Why doesn’t he seem close to Kingsley and the others?

“He is.” Benjamin threw her a glance before turning to the men. “You lot continue drinking.

I’m taking her home.”

“I’m leaving with you too, as I want to visit Gavin and the others.”

Jonathan put down his cutlery and wiped the corner of his mouth.

“I’m leaving also.” Shaun, too, didn’t feel like staying.



Watching everyone preparing to leave, Kingsley didn’t want to be left behind.

“Since no one is staying, I’m going too. There’s no point in me eating here alone.”

Benjamin, with Arissa in tow, went to take his leave from Aaron. “We’re going off now. I wish

you a blissful and happy marriage!”
