Chapter 339 Darius Gave Benjamin An Earful
Shaun and Kingsley, who were sitting across the table from Benjamin, noticed the envious look in the man’s eye and smiled.
“Benjamin, you seem to be very envious of Mrs. Graham,” Kingsley teased.
Benjamin shot a piercing gaze at his friend after hearing that.
Shaun looked at the two other men in amusement and started teasing the kids.
“Zachary, why are you boys not peeling prawns for your daddy?”
“He’s a man. He doesn’t need us to do that for him,” the four little boys replied in unison.
“Haha!”
Everyone burst out laughing when they heard that. There was nothing wrong with what the boys said.
It was right for men to be caring toward women.
Kingsley glanced at Benjamin and said, “Benjamin, look, your sons are so gentlemanly. Why don’t you learn from them and peel some prawns for Mrs. Graham too?”
Benjamin glared at his friend and replied, “Since you’re so free, why don’t you peel prawns for all of us?”
The corners of Kingsley’s lips twitched.
Arissa chuckled and continued eating the prawns that her boys had prepared for her happily.
When Benjamin noticed that she seemed to be enjoying her prawns a lot, he peeled a prawn and placed it on her plate as well.
Suddenly noticing the extra prawn on her plate, Arissa turned to look at the man.
She could not help but gulp after seeing how elegant he looked even when he was eating.
“Don’t keep eating prawns. Eat more of the other dishes as well,” Benjamin said, turning his head in her direction.
Arissa took one more look at him and continued eating.
Even though Darius was taking care of Jesse, he was also paying attention to the interactions between Benjamin and Arissa at the same time.
He laughed under his breath and asked Arissa, “Issa, do you like these dishes?”
“Yes, I do!” Arissa replied with a nod.
“That’s good to hear! We can order more of those that you like!” Darius smiled.
“Okay! Mr. Graham, let Jesse eat on her own. You should eat something too!” Arissa replied.
“Sure, sure.” Darius chuckled heartily.
His appetite increased greatly after seeing how much his grandchildren were enjoying their dinner.
Relishing in the harmonious atmosphere, Shaun and Kingsley started filling their stomachs as well.
Benjamin placed a piece of chicken on Arissa’s plate and asked, “Do you like chicken?”
She glanced at him and replied, “I do.”
“The food here is pretty good. You should try a bit of everything,” Benjamin suggested before going back to his own food.
The children sneaked a glance at their father and were noticed by Arissa, who arched her eyebrows at them.
When they realized that they had been discovered, they smiled at their mother cheekily.
“Concentrate on your dinner!” she said to her children.
Instantly, the five little ones turned back toward their plates and stopped looking around.
“Benjamin, is it very busy at the office?” after a while, Darius asked Benjamin in a serious manner.
“It’s all right,” Benjamin glanced at his father and replied.
“If it’s not that busy, try not to work overtime during the weekends. The kids are still young. You should try to spend more time with them. If you’re really busy, you can carry on with your work but let Issa stay with the kids. It doesn’t make sense for the two of you to spend the weekends working. It’s not as if our family is short of money, and you have to work additionally hard to make ends meet. Try to spend more time with the kids.”
Although Darius gave Benjamin an earful, he was very considerate toward Arissa.
He continued, “The kids need their mom. If you insist on taking Issa with you to work, the little ones would be upset and wouldn’t enjoy themselves as much.”
Benjamin cast a glance at his children. He couldn’t tell that they were upset at all.
“I got it.”
He looked at Arissa before sweeping a glance at Gavin.
Gavin stared back at his father.
When Benjamin saw that, he sneered silently, wondering if the boy had complained to Darius.
“Why are you staring at me?” Gavin asked fiercely, shooting daggers at Benjamin.
Darius looked toward Benjamin in an intimidating manner as well.
“Why are you staring at my grandson?”
Benjamin was speechless.
Arissa could not help but giggle under her breath, amused by the scene.
Kingsley and Shaun tried their best to suppress their laughter as well, after seeing Benjamin’s inability to respond.
Meanwhile, Zachary, Oliver, and Jasper burst out laughing.
When Benjamin heard that, he gave the three boys a side-eye.
