    Chapter 801 I Only Have Feelings For You


    Arissa raised her head to regard him with a smile. “It’s nothing.” Benjamin’s brow bunched up. His eyes


    fixated upon the unnaturalness of her smile before ncing toward his phone.


    When he took it over, the screen of the phone lit up. That particr message was still being actively


    disyed on it. Was it this that ruined her mood?


    Momentarily shaken up inside, Benjamin regarded her intently with his dark eyes before he deleted that


    message. “Have you read it?” he asked, point nk.

    Arissa turned her body over to face the other way. “I didn’t mean to!” Casting his towel aside, Benjamin


    leaned in and held her tightly inside her arms.


    His almond-shaped eyes locked gazes with her. “It doesn’t mean anything!” Arissa lifted her eyes and


    pursed her lips. “Have both of you been in constant contact all this time?”


    Benjamin fiddled with her hair while lying on his side. “No. She’s the one who has been trying to reach


    out to me these past few days. I’ve never responded to her,” he exined.


    Arissa scrutinized him. Benjamin doesn’t appear to be lying. It’s not like he needs to either. “In that


    case, how do you feel toward her?”


    Benjamin stared at her with an unfathomable gaze. “She’s like an old friend!” That somewhat improved


    Arissa’s mood. “Then, do you still fancy her?”


    Benjamin’s brows perked up, and there was a yful look in his eyes. “Why don’t you tell me whether I


    should?”


    When Arissa reacted by turning her back to him, Benjamin pulled himself close and kissed her behind


    the ear. “You know that I only have feelings for you!”


    Arissa’s heart started throbbing as her cheeks flushed hotly. She certainly felt him. In response, she


    pulled the nket over her face. Theughter from the man’s baritone voice sent her body temperature


    soaring.


    “Stop imagining things, Arissa, and don’t let other people affect your emotions that easily, all right?”


    Benjamin petted her head over the nket. “Come on out. Don’t you find it stuffy in there?”


    Arissa smiled and pressed him further, “Do you really feel nothing for her?”


    Benjamin exhaled in exasperation. “Back then, with everyone else’s constant nudging, I was indeed a


    little tempted to date her. My thinking at the time was that I might as well find someone who I personally


    liked for myself rather than leave things to my dad. She was one of the few among my acquaintances


    who I got on quite well with, but Dad didn’t seem to like her very much. In fact, he was vehemently


    opposed to us getting together. Everyone must have misunderstood me because I took her side that


    time. Perhaps that’s why my old man is still convinced that I am into her, even till now!”


    Arissa pulled the nket down slightly and looked at him expectantly. “Does that mean that you were


    never attracted to her?”


    Benjamin peered down at her. “Are you going toe out?”


    That made Arissa a little self-conscious. “You still haven’t answered my question yet.”


    Benjamin leaned in and closed the distance between them further.


    “Do you still doubt me after everything I’ve told you, Arissa? Are you daft?”


    That had Arissa seething. “You’re the one who’s being daft. Was it even necessary to insult me?”


    Benjamin’s thin lips lifted into a smirk as he pinched her cheek. “From where would I find the time to get


    involved with someone else? I’m way too busy making money!”


    Could he be speaking the truth?


    As reluctant as Arissa was to simply take his words at face value, there was no understating the joy


    she felt inside.


    “Have you really never fancied anyone else previously?”


    “Whoever said that? I most certainly did!” Benjamin reacted in dismay.


    He coughed and cleared his throat self-consciously when he saw that despondent expression returning


    to Arissa’s face.


    Then, he shot her an amused look. “What’s bugging you now?”


    “So, that means you really are interested in someone else!” Arissa side-eyed him.


    If she isn’t Danna or Rosetta, who else could that woman be?


    Benjamin tilted her chin up. “Didn’t I tell you not to overthink things? Why won’t you just listen?”


    Arissa merely stared at him. You should have exined things clearly if you wanted that.


    Having figured out what was going through her mind from the look in her eyes, Benjamin sighed. He


    then broke off eye contact as he felt somewhat ill at ease.


    “It happened back when I was a kid. Does that count too?”


    Arissa blinked.


    When he was a kid?


    She was amused by the blush she vaguely saw on the man’s handsome face but dared notugh


    aloud.


    “How little were you?”


    Benjamin’s eyes darted around. “I was just a few years old.”


    “And how old was the girl you took a liking to?”


    Benjamin appeared contemtive. “A year old, or maybe several months old?”


    Arissa was utterly speechless.
