Chapter 811 This Is My Fiancée
Sensing an air of hostility, Arissa looked over her shoulder and caught a glimpse of Rosetta
turning away to entertain her guests. Benjamin, who noticed her reaction, asked, “What are
you looking at?”
Throwing him a glance, she inquired softly, “Why did you really bring me here?”
Benjamin’s eyes darkened. “For the delicious feast, of course.” Arissa, mouth twitching,
scoffed, “Do I look like I’m desperate for food?”
Curling his lips slightly, Benjamin whispered into her ear, “Of course not, but I still want to
bring you here.” Flattered by his words, Arissa turned to look him in the eye. “Did you bring
me here to show me off to Rosetta?”
Benjamin cocked his brow. “That’s part of the reason too.” Faced with his honesty, the
niggling she felt at the back of her mind gradually disappeared. “What else?”
“I also plan to show Mrs. Graham off to the many familiar faces here,” Benjamin suggested
in a gentle tone as he wrapped his arm around her waist.

At the same time, he swept a threatening gaze around when he noticed the curious looks
that had fallen upon Arissa. Consequently, Arissa’s lips couldn’t help but widen broadly. Is
Benjamin implicitly declaring our status?
“Are you happy now?”
Benjamin gave her a passionate stare, causing her to clear her throat awkwardly. “I’m all
right.” An amused glint flashed across Benjamin’s eyes.
“Benjamin!” Aaron came over and greeted them with a smile. Turning around to look at the
groom, Benjamin got to his feet and remarked, “Congratulations on your wedding!” Aaron
burst into hearty laughter. “Where’s my present?”
“It will be arriving soon!” Benjamin reassured him.
“Aaron, I’m sure no one is as shameless as you to ask for your own wedding gift. Besides,
it’s not like you’re not aware of how busy Benjamin is. Where would he find the time to get
you a present?” Kingsley teased from his chair. “How am I going to get it if I don’t ask for
it?”
Aaron had barely responded with a grin when he was briefly stunned by the sight of the
unfamiliar face sitting beside Benjamin. “And who might this be?”
“Let me introduce you.” When Kingsley pointed to Arissa, he noticed the glare shot at him
by Benjamin, who then introduced her himself.
“This is my fiancée.”
Aaron, together with Arissa, were stunned. Kingsley, Shaun, and Jonathan were all equally
flabbergasted but quickly curled their lips into a smile.
What a way for Benjamin to introduce her. This was the first time they saw him
acknowledge any woman’s relationship to him, and it was indeed a sight to behold.
“Hello, I’m Arissa York.” Arissa got to her feet and wished the groom, “Congratulations on
your wedding!”
Given that she had come for the food and so hadn’t brought a gift, she couldn’t help but
feel embarrassed about it.
“Thank you. I’m Aaron Adams. I’m glad that you could make it,” Aaron responded cordially,
to which Arissa nodded.
Glancing in Benjamin’s direction, Aaron decided against saying what was on his mind. He
subsequently took his leave after entertaining them briefly.
“Please enjoy yourselves. I have to go get ready as the wedding is about to begin.”
“Okay.” Benjamin nodded.
As Kingsley and Shaun were part of the groom’s entourage, they, too, went off to prepare
themselves.
“Arissa, please enjoy yourselves. We’ll be going off for a bit.”

“All right,” Arissa replied in acknowledgment as her eyes scanned the surroundings.
When her eyes met with Rosetta’s, the latter averted her gaze in disdain.
Nonetheless, Arissa simply chuckled and took a sip of water.
Noticing the exchange between the ladies, Benjamin looked over and saw Rosetta staring
daggers at Arissa. He narrowed his eyes in warning.
When Rosetta suddenly met Benjamin’s piercing gaze, her heart twinged in pain at the look
in it.
Gritting her teeth, she turned away in dismay.
“Rosetta!” Margaret prodded her daughter when she noticed the latter losing her
composure.
“Mom, why did Benjamin bring a woman here to spite me?”
Margaret looked over to Benjamin’s table before returning her attention to her daughter.
“When a man brings a woman to a friend’s wedding, what other reason is there?”
Rosetta felt a jolt through her body. “But I still love him! How could he?”
Margaret’s heart ached as she saw how indignant her daughter felt.
“Benjamin isn’t any ordinary man. During your time overseas, he would have surely
contacted you if he had any feelings for you. Anyway, don’t forget to mind your behavior as
a daughter of the Adams family.”
