Chapter 791 Who Am I Marrying
Arissa’s brows knitted together. She stared at him and questioned, “Are you going to fight for their custody?”
“Aren’t they my children too?” Benjamin snorted. When he saw her pursing her lips and becoming annoyed, he added, “You can be with them all the time as long as you stay here.”
Arissa cast a look at him. “How long can I stay here, Graham?” Instead of getting an ambiguous answer, she needed clarification. “For as long as you wish. As for the children, they’ll live here forever.”
He put both his hands in his pockets and stared at her intently. “Can I make this place my forever home too?”
“What do you think?” Benjamin swept his gaze over her. Arissa blushed instantly as her heart skipped a beat. “What if you get hitched? Am I still allowed to stay here?”
Benjamin’s eyes narrowed a fraction. “Who am I marrying?”
“I don’t know! Ask yourself.” With that, she turned and went to the dining area. By then, the children had returned from the bathroom. She ushered them to their seats.
Moments later, Benjamin joined them. As he took his seat at the head of the table, Edwin handed him a hot towel to wipe his hands.
Arissa side-eyed him. Why is he acting as if he’s eating at a restaurant?
“Wipe your hands.” Benjamin passed him a towel. “No, thanks. I prefer to wash mine.” Arissa cast him a contemptuous glance before heading off to use the kitchen sink. When she returned, Benjamin asked, “Isn’t it faster to wipe them?”
“Why should I do that when we’re at home?”
Edwin looked at them, all smiles. “Enjoy your meal, Mr. and Mrs. Graham.”
Nodding, Arissa sat down and started serving the children. “Let’s eat.”
Benjamin requested, “Pass me the mushroom dish in front of you.”
Arissa’s gaze fell on the dish and then at Benjamin.
“Can’t you get it yourself?”
Edwin caught the hint and urged, “Mrs. Graham, I think Mr. Graham would love for you to serve him some.”
Arissa’s face reddened almost instantly while the six children burst into giggles.
“Mommy, hurry up and give it to Daddy! He’s waiting.”
Gavin hummed with his mouth full, and it sounded as though he was prompting Arissa to give Benjamin a wedding.
When she heard that, her face turned crimson red.
“Here you go.”
She took a few pieces of mushrooms and put it on his plate.
“Lovely! You’ve granted my only desire.” Benjamin’s gaze was intense when he said that in an ambiguous tone.
Arissa turned and glanced at him but felt shy when her gaze met his.
“Dig in!”
Afterward, they all started eating.
“Don’t keep eating the pasta. Try the other dishes too.” Benjamin acted like a gentleman and served her more food.
Arissa shot him a look and responded, “I know. I prefer starting with the main course.”
Benjamin chuckled lowly, and utter embarrassment swamped Arissa.
Seeing how bashful she was, the six children promptly burst into laughter.
Flustered, Arissa gave them a death stare. “What’s so funny? Pay attention when you eat.”
However, her response made the kids chuckle even more.
Not knowing what to do next, Arissa lowered her head and continued eating.
Benjamin was absolutely delighted when he stole a glance at her flushed cheeks.
Then, he turned to the children and said solemnly, “All right, that’s enough. Go on and eat your food.”
The kids obliged quickly at his command.
They also served their mother some food.
“Try this, Mommy!”
“And this too, Ms. York.”
“Thank you, Sweethearts!” Arissa was over the moon.
After dinner, Benjamin sent all the kids into his study to coach them on their homework.
At that moment, Arissa’s heart was full.
“Mrs. Graham, why don’t you bring them some drinks?”
Edwin had prepared coffee and milkshakes for Benjamin and the children.
“Sure!”
Arissa received the tray and headed to the study.
When she got there, she saw Benjamin tutoring Tim patiently.
Gavin, Zachary, Oliver, Jasper, and Jesse joined in and listened attentively to their father’s explanation. They did not act proud despite having understood it already.
Arissa smiled as she put the tray down discreetly and sat by the side.
