Chapter 413 It Is Fine For Boys To Be Hungry
“It’s fine, Grandpa. I want to bring the food to them myself.”
Jesse pouted, insisting on making the delivery herself.
Darius was amused by her stubbornness and replied, “All right then, you can do it yourself. I won’t go upstairs. Jesse, eat slower.”
“What if they’re hungry?” Jesse blinked her eyes and asked while stuffing food into her mouth.
Darius laughed and replied, “It’s okay if they are left hungry for a while. They are boys, after all!”
Jesse giggled when she heard that.
“Sweetheart, are your brothers doing their homework? Have you completed yours?” Darius asked curiously while fixing his gaze on the little girl.
“Ummm… They are studying something else that I didn’t understand, so I came down first.”
Bits of food came out of Jesse’s mouth as she spoke.
Darius wiped the corners of her mouth and said, “What is it that you don’t understand? I can teach you if you’d like.”
He lifted Jesse onto his lap and started feeding her.
“Grandpa, you don’t have to feed me. I can eat it myself. If Mommy sees it, she’ll scold me,” Jesse said, glancing at her grandfather.
She looked extremely adorable with her clear, bright eyes.
Darius laughed out loud when he heard that. Even the butler and the other servants could not help but chuckle at the girl’s words.
“Ms. Jesse is so sensible!”
“Shh!”
Darius gestured for them to keep quiet before looking toward the second floor and said, “Don’t let Benjamin hear you!”
Jesse glanced at him and said, “Grandpa, my brothers are learning computer skills. It’s not fun at all!”
Darius turned his attention back to his granddaughter. As he was not good at using the computer as well, he said in a gentle tone, “Well, if it’s not fun, we can learn something else instead. What does my dear granddaughter want to learn? Sweetheart, if there’s anything you are interested in, I can do it with you.”
“I like skateboarding, Grandpa!” Jesse exclaimed.
Darius was stunned for a moment, thinking that it was an activity for boys. However, upon noticing his granddaughter’s enthusiasm, he smiled in agreement.
“All right. Let’s go skateboarding together after you finish your food then.”
“Grandpa, you know how to skateboard?” Jesse asked sweetly, cocking her head and blinking her big eyes.
“Haha! I don’t, but I can watch you do it.”
Darius was smiling widely with the little girl in his arms.
“Sweetheart, can you skateboard?”
“Yeah! And I’m really good at it. Even my brothers are no match for me!” Jesse replied proudly, her eyes gleaming with excitement.
“You’re amazing, Sweetheart!” Darius praised the girl before continuing, “You have to show me your skills later, okay?”
“Sure!” Jesse nodded vehemently.
Not forgetting her brothers, she said, “Grandpa, I’ll deliver some food to my brothers first. After that, I’ll come down and play with you again!”
“All right!” Darius replied with a smile, feeling happy at how sensible his granddaughter was.
He put Jesse aside and let her continue eating on her own while he prepared some food for his four grandsons.
Jesse quickly finished her food and brought some upstairs for her brothers.
Just when she reached the door, she saw Benjamin walking out of his room and froze instantly.
“Hello, Mr. Graham,” Jesse greeted sweetly.
Benjamin arched his brows slightly and walked over.
Jesse blinked, feeling slightly nervous.
Benjamin could tell at once that she was feeling uneasy and that made him feel slightly exasperated. He wondered why she was always behaving in that manner when she saw him.
“Are you hungry?” Benjamin stopped in front of Jesse and stroked her head.
“I’ve already eaten. These are for my brothers,” Jesse replied obediently.
Benjamin frowned as he replied, “Did they ask you to get some food for them?”
They’re the elder brothers, and yet they’re bossing their younger sister around?
“Yes…” Jesse replied before quickly shaking her head.
“I mean, I volunteered to get food for them. Mr. Graham, would you like to have some?”
She glanced at Benjamin, hoping that he would leave soon.
“No, I’m fine.”
Noticing that the little girl was carrying the tray with much effort, Benjamin took it over.
Jesse was momentarily stunned when he did that and quickly snatched it back.
“Mr. Graham, I can carry it myself. You should get back to your work.”
Benjamin cocked his brows and his eyes glinted with mirth.
Why does she seem so nervous?
