Chapter 302 No One Calls Him Daddy
“Thank you,” Arissa acknowledged.
Benjamin raised his brow and gazed thoughtfully at her.
Unable to decipher what was going through his mind, Arissa averted her gaze.
Meanwhile, their minute gestures didn’t escape Darius’ eye.
“Let’s dig in!”
On Darius’ cue, his butler began to serve dinner.
“Don’t mind me, serve the children first,” Darius instructed his butler as he too helped to fill the children’s plates.
“Come, Issa, you should have more.”
Arissa was taken by surprise when Darius served her. Hence, she quickly moved her plate closer.
“Thank you, Old Mr. Graham!”
After that, Darius invited everyone to dig in.
Meanwhile, Kingsley looked at Benjamin and Arissa opposite him before turning his attention to Darius.
“Mr. Graham, even though I have shared many meals with you, you have never served me before,” Kingsley commented jealously.
Darius gave him the side-eye. “Did I not do it when you were a kid?”
Who remembers such things?
“Boss, has Mr. Graham ever served me when I was a child?”
“I don’t know,” Benjamin plainly replied.
Kingsley smirked in response.
Watching them with a smile, Darius was impressed by what he tasted.
Assuming that Edwin had prepared dinner, Darius turned to him, “Edwin, your cooking has changed a lot. Today’s food is very much to my taste.”
Smiling at Darius, Edwin replied, “Old Mr. Graham, I didn’t cook dinner today.”
“Oh? Who did?” Darius was shocked.
“Grandpa, it was Mommy!”
Jesse, who was sitting beside Darius, couldn’t resist declaring it proudly.
Darius gave Arissa an astonished look. “Did you prepare all this?”
In the face of Darius’ surprise, Arissa nodded. “Yes, I did.”
Darius commented, “It’s really good. In fact, it’s a lot better than what my chef usually cooks.”
Arissa simply smiled in response. After all, she couldn’t compare since she hadn’t tried his chef’s cooking before.
Nevertheless, she was ecstatic that Darius enjoyed the food.
At the same time, the children were elated over the same.
Meanwhile, Benjamin shot the delighted Arissa a glance and remarked, “The fish seems tasteless today.”
Arissa glared at him and tried some. “No, it’s not!”
“It is!” Benjamin frowned.
Speechless, Arissa suggested, “Don’t we have some dip? If you think it’s tasteless, you can just dip it in.”
“But there’s garlic inside,” Benjamin insisted, causing Arissa to gape in response.
When Darius saw how picky his son was, he didn’t know what to say.
“Edwin, get Benjamin a new dip. Or else, he will start fussing over trivial matters.”
When Arissa laughed in amusement, Benjamin’s gaze darkened.
Noticing the change in him, she kept her head down and continued eating.
Meanwhile, Edwin returned with a new bowl of dip that didn’t contain garlic for Benjamin.
He had actually forgotten to remind Arissa that Benjamin didn’t like garlic.
In fact, Benjamin didn’t like his food heavily seasoned.
Even though the children stared at Benjamin, they didn’t dare say a word and continued eating quietly instead.
Faced with the looks they gave him, Benjamin was stunned. He quickly served them some steak.
“Make yourselves at home and eat whatever you like.”
“Thank you, Mr. Graham.”
When Darius noticed that none of the children addressed Benjamin as Daddy, he couldn’t help but feel amused.
Trying to hide his laughter, Kingsley looked at the children before shifting his gaze to Benjamin.
“Boss, you’ll scare the children with such a stern expression.”
