Chapter 295 Why Not Call Him Daddy
“Yeah! You were in there for quite a long time too!” Oliver chimed in.
“It wasn’t that long! I came running out the moment your daddy gave me the glare of death!” Kingsley protested.
Arissa chuckled in amusement. She then grabbed a plate of fruits and snacks before heading over to the study.
“Mommy is going to see Mr. Graham!” Jesse exclaimed.
Arissa turned around and corrected her, “You should call him ‘Daddy’!”
Jesse simply stuck her tongue out in response.
Kingsley looked at them and asked out of curiosity, “Why aren’t you kids calling him ‘Daddy’?”
“Because we’re still trying to determine if he’s worthy of being our daddy!” Jasper replied while leaning against the back of his chair.
Kingsley walked up to him and gave him a light pinch on the cheek. “And how would he be considered worthy?”
Let’s see if I can help Boss find out more information to help him out!
“What do you think?” Zachary and Oliver said in unison.
“I think he’s your daddy, to begin with. Refusing to call him ‘Daddy’ won’t change that fact at all,” Kingsley replied with a chuckle.
The kids pouted upon hearing that.
“You’re right, Mr. Watts. But we still have the right to choose whether we call him ‘Daddy’ or not!” Oliver said with a mischievous grin.
“It’s true that he’s our daddy, but we can also choose not to treat him as such if he doesn’t do his job well!” Zachary added with a defiant snort.
“Yeah! I’m with Zachary on this one!” Jasper expressed his support for Zachary.
Jesse raised her hand. “Me too!”
“I agree with Oliver and Zachary. Daddy will need to earn their respect if he wants them to call him ‘Daddy’!” Gavin stated.
“So, how would your daddy prove himself?” Kingsley asked curiously.
“By treating our mommy well, duh! We won’t forgive him if he bullies Mommy!” Zachary declared defiantly.
The other kids all nodded in agreement.
I see… Even Gavin is on Arissa’s side, huh? Man, I feel bad for Benjamin already! Kingsley thought to himself.
Arissa was unaware of that conversation as she was bringing the food to Benjamin in the study.
“You should take a break and have some snacks, Mr. Graham!”
Benjamin simply shot her a quick glance before shifting his gaze back to his documents.
Arissa was about to leave when he called out to her all of a sudden, “Come here!”
His deep voice was so attractive that she found herself pausing in her tracks.
“Yes?” she responded while turning around.
Benjamin pointed at the files scattered on the desk and said, “Rearrange these documents.”
Seeing as he was busy, Arissa stepped forward and did as told without saying anything.
Benjamin then handed her another folder and ordered, “Check if this one has any issues.”
Arissa was a little confused, but she examined the document anyway.
A smile formed on Benjamin’s face as he admired her serious expression. “Well?”
Arissa looked at him and said, “The contract looks fine overall, but our company wouldn’t profit much out of this collaboration. In fact, the other party would stand to gain a lot more than us. Why are we working with them, Mr. Graham?”
Benjamin felt genuinely impressed that she figured it out so quickly.
“That’s a question for the project manager,” he replied while tossing that contract aside.
Arissa poured him a glass of water. “You should take a break. Aren’t you feeling drowsy from your medication?”
Benjamin had been busy working since he returned from lunch.
He arched an eyebrow in surprise when he heard the concern in her voice.
