Chapter 621 A Surprise For Grandpa
As Tim seemed nervous, Arissa chuckled and reminded the kids, “There’s no rush. We’re going back today, so we can give Grandpa a surprise.”
Zachary and the rest nodded profusely.
Arissa wetted a face towel and wiped the kids’ faces.
“Has everyone gone to the toilet?” she asked.
The kids giggled in chorus, so she knew they hadn’t relieved themselves. She grinned and turned to leave.
“I shall head out now. Hurry up!”
She prepared the kids’ clothes and spread them on the bed.
When the kids came out, she said, “I’ve placed your clothes on the bed. Get changed yourselves!”
“Got it, Mommy. You should go wash up,” Zachary urged.
He brought his siblings over to the bed so they could get changed.
Arissa went to the bathroom to wash up and relieve herself.
Benjamin washed up and changed his clothes. He came out to see the kids busy changing their clothes. Glancing in the direction of the bathroom, he asked, “Is your mommy still inside?”
“Mommy’s inside!”
Gavin glanced at him and asked, “Daddy, are we really going home today?”
“Yeah,” came Benjamin’s answer.
He had just called Shaun and confirmed that Mary was doing well today.
Delighted, Gavin turned to Tim. “Daddy says we can go back today!”
Tim inclined his head.
Benjamin swept his gaze over them before turning to the bathroom. With his hands stuck in his pockets, he said, “Time for breakfast.”
The kids ran to the bathroom and yelled, “Mommy, it’s time for breakfast! Hurry up!”
“Sweethearts, you don’t have to wait for me. I need more time!” Arissa responded loudly.
The kids ran out without waiting for her.
Benjamin took one look at the bathroom before leaving with the kids.
He took care of the kids when they were having breakfast.
The kids’ eyes lit up when they saw the scrumptious spread served before them.
“Take your seats!” Benjamin ordered.
He took their cups and poured milk for them.
Hearing that, the children climbed into their seats.
Jesse plopped into her seat and was about to grab some food when something occurred to her. She retracted her hand and shot Benjamin a look.
Noticing her action, Benjamin said, “Eat up!”
Jesse beamed. “Thank you, Mr. Graham!”
Benjamin’s heart melted when he saw her adorable smile.
He ruffled her hair affectionately. After making sure the kids got what they wanted, he took his seat aside.
“Mr. Graham, won’t you eat?” Tim inquired.
“I’m not hungry yet.”
Benjamin began reading the papers.
The kids shared a look.
Both Jasper and Oliver giggled among themselves.
Jasper whispered, “Mr. Graham is obviously waiting for Mommy!”
Zachary observed Benjamin and flashed a smile.
“Let’s eat. We can wait for Mommy while we eat,” Gavin reminded them.
He didn’t forget to get Tim some yummy food.
Benjamin lifted his head to glance at the kids every now and then. A gentle smile nudged his lips when he saw them eating their breakfast obediently.
The morning sunshine poured through the window, shining on the kids. Benjamin would remember this scene for years to come.
He grinned before looking away to focus on the papers.
Only the soft voices of the children chewing on their food could be heard.
A while later, Benjamin furrowed his brows when he realized Arissa was still in the bathroom.
He glanced at his watch and realized she had been inside for more than ten minutes.
What is taking her so long?
The children shared his sentiments, too.
Jasper sighed. “Mommy is really fussy, huh?”
Oliver nodded and chimed in, “We need to wait half an hour for her every morning!”
Zachary giggled in response.
Gavin and Tim stared at their siblings in bafflement.
Curious, Gavin asked, “Why do you have to wait half an hour?”
Jesse replied cheekily, “Mommy’s pooing! She takes half an hour to poo!”
Gavin, Tim, and Benjamin were speechless.
