Chapter 385 None Of Them Is For Him
As Benjamin was calling someone on the balcony facing the garden, she waited at the door for a while.
She felt touched when she saw how busy he was, answering calls after another.
Is he held back from work because he was accompanying me at the hospital in the morning?
Feeling someone’s gaze on him, Benjamin turned around and saw her standing at the entrance. She was in deep thought.
“What’s the matter?” Although he was still on the call, he moved his phone aside and asked.
Arissa was pulled back to her senses.
Meeting his intense gaze, she replied, “I’m here to tell you that dinner’s ready!”
“Okay! Eat with the kids first. I need to settle some things,” said Benjamin.
Arissa nodded. After urging him to hurry up, she returned to the dining room.
The kids had already washed their hands. She carried them to their seats and reminded them, “Wait for a while! Your daddy isn’t here yet.”
They nodded and waited at the dining table obediently, none of them making the move first to start eating.
Edwin smiled when he saw that.
“Ms. York, since Mr. Graham isn’t here yet, you can drink some soup first and wait for him to come.”
“It’s fine! Let’s wait for him first,” replied Arissa as she snuck a glance at the five kids, who were drooling as they stared at the food.
Laughing, she asked, “Would you like some fruits?”
The five kids stared at her. Arissa stroked their heads before leaving to get some fruits for them.
Meanwhile, Edwin poured soup for them.
“Ms. York, drink some soup first! We don’t know when Mr. Graham will be ready. The kids should not go hungry!”
Edwin poured a bowl of soup for Arissa before placing another bowl at Benjamin’s seat.
“Thank you, Edwin!” said Arissa.
She then reminded the kids, “Drink the soup first! Be careful, it’s hot.”
“Okay!” They nodded. “You too, Mommy.”
“Sure!” replied Arissa with a smile before drinking her soup.
Edwin stared at them before going to the study and hurrying Benjamin.
“Mr. Graham, go to eat quickly! Ms. York and the kids are all waiting for you.”
“Got it!” replied Benjamin. Didn’t I ask her to eat with the kids first?
He placed his work aside, got up, and went to the dining room.
When Arissa saw him, she said, “Come and eat!”
“Okay.”
Benjamin shot a glance at her before pulling the chair out.
The five kids stared at him and greeted, “Hello, Mr. Graham!”
Benjamin’s eyes gleamed as he scanned the kids. “Hello!”
They continued drinking the soup. While Benjamin sipped on his soup, he glanced at the dishes on the table. They look quite delicious!
“Did you cook everything?”
Stunned, Arissa nodded. “Yeah! Why?”
Benjamin cut out a piece of steak and tasted it. “It’s not bad!”
“Thanks!” Arissa returned his gaze. She was quite confident in her culinary skills.
Benjamin shot a meaningful gaze at her. “How did you know that I like to eat this?”
Arissa and the kids were stunned.
Gavin could not help but dash his hopes.
“Don’t be shameless! Zachary likes to eat this, so Mommy cooked it for him.”
Raising his eyebrows, Benjamin looked at his son, then back at Arissa.
“You prepared this for the kids?”
Arissa laughed embarrassedly. “You didn’t say what you wanted to eat when I asked you, so I only cooked what the kids wanted.”
Benjamin snorted softly. Edwin laughed secretly when he saw how displeased Benjamin was.
“Mr. Graham, Ms. York prepared this soup specially for you. There’s quite a lot left. Would you like to have another bowl of soup?”
Benjamin glanced at Arissa suspiciously, not believing that she had cooked it.
Arissa did not expect Edwin to credit her for it. Meeting Benjamin’s suspicious gaze, she became even more embarrassed.
“Edwin prepared this for you, not me!”
Benjamin’s face fell. He turned around and glared at Edwin. “You may leave now!”
“Okay!” Edwin quickly left.
