Chapter 819 Where Did You Learn This From
“Take a seat.” With that, Arissa turned and went into the kitchen. Benjamin followed suit. “Benjamin is following Arissa everywhere now!” teased Kingsley. Both Shaun and Jonathan started laughing.
“Kingsley, you’d better not talk too much. If not, Benjamin might throw you out!” Jonathan reminded him. Shaun burst out laughing. “Benjamin is in a good mood today. That’s why he allowed you into his house.”
The six children looked at the adults while they talked. Zachary asked, “Uncle Kingsley, didn’t my mommy eat anything at the banquet just now?”
Kingsley rubbed the boy’s head before answering, “She did. But your daddy didn’t eat anything.” Zachary widened his eyes. So, Daddy is the one who hasn’t eaten yet.
“Mr. Patterson, did anybody bully my mommy?” Gavin asked Jonathan politely. Jonathan chuckled. “Your daddy is busy protecting your mommy. Nobody dares to bully her!” Gavin eyed the adults with doubt and asked, “Are you lying to me?”
Shaun and Jonathan exchanged glances and answered, “We didn’t lie to you.” Jonathan turned around to play with Tim. Tim blushed, and the grownups found it amusing.
Edwin was looking on. If he did not put a stop to the teasing, they would likely carry on. When Arissa saw Benjamin follow her into the kitchen, she asked him, “Have you decided what you want to eat?”
Benjamin raised his brows and said, “How about some grilled meat?”
Arissa took out the ingredients and started the preparation. She then took out some fruit and vegetables. Once the meat was done, she wrapped them together with the fruit and vegetables.
All the while, Benjamin was with her in the kitchen, and he was watching her cook. With a smile, he asked, “Where did you learn this from?”
Arissa glanced at him sideways and continued with her chore.
“Don’t you like it this way? All the children love to have their grilled meat like this.”
Benjamin looked at her and then at the food before asking, “Can I eat now?”
“Go ahead.” Arissa nodded.
Benjamin picked up a fork and tasted the food. Not too bad.
Arissa turned and glanced at him with those sparkling eyes of hers and asked, “How is it?”
“It’s good!”
Benjamin nodded before taking the plate with him.
“I’ll have a piece of steak too!”
Arissa laughed out loud and continued to grill the meat.
When the six children, Kingsley and the others came over, they felt hungry when they saw the food.
“Mommy, can we have some?”
Jesse gulped a mouthful of saliva. She wanted very much to have a taste.
“Sure!” replied Arissa.
She put out the food on the dining table, and there was plenty of it.
“Come over here. I’ll give you a piece!” Benjamin called out to Jesse.
The little girl ran over to him with a grin on her face.
Benjamin then fed her a piece of the meat.
“Thank you, Mr. Graham!”
Jesse was pleased as her mouth was filled with food.
“Do all of you want some?” Benjamin asked the boys.
“We’ll take this plate.”
With that, Jasper climbed onto the chair with eagerness and started eating from the other plate.
Both Shaun and Kingsley also reached to grab a piece each.
So did the rest of the children. Unfortunately for Jonathan, he was too slow and did not manage to get a single bite.
“Mr. Patterson, for you!”
Tim gave his piece to Jonathan.
Jonathan was very touched, and he patted Tim’s head. “Don’t worry about me. You go ahead.”
“Mr. Patterson, you can have this. I can have this anytime.”
Tim pushed the piece of meat toward him.
Jonathan was thrilled. “Thank you, Tim.”
“You’re welcome!” Tim gazed at him.
Benjamin smiled and hollered, “Tim, come here. I’ll give you some.”
“Mr. Graham, you haven’t eaten yet. You should have it. I’m not hungry anyway.”
Seeing that there was not much food left on the plate, Tim shook his head.
Benjamin was very proud of the kind boy.
“It’s fine. Come over here and have a bite. Your mommy is making a steak for me after this.”
Tim glanced at everyone before walking over.
Benjamin fed him a piece.
