Chapter 725 Having Breakfast As A Family
“No, you look good, Jasper,” Tim praised. Jasper was delighted. “Haha! I know, right? I’ve always looked good,” Jasper replied with a wide smile.
Zachary said with a hint of sarcasm, “As if all of us don’t look good at all.” Everyone burst out laughing. Benjamin also smiled, looking at the cheerful lot.
“Are you done, Jesse?” He suddenly remembered. Knock!
“Almost!” Jesse hurried up, put on her clothes, and opened the door. “I’m done, Mr. Graham,” she said bashfully. When Benjamin saw that her collar was not folded properly, he bent down and tidied it for her.
Jesse looked at him with a grateful smile. “Thanks, Mr. Graham.” Benjamin pinched her cheek gently. “Let’s get your schoolbag. We’re heading down for breakfast.”
With that said, he put the schoolbag straps around Jesse’s shoulder. When Benjamin stood up again and saw how cute all his children looked in their uniforms, his heart warmed.
“All right. Time for breakfast!” The six kids held hands and went downstairs orderly.
“Breakfast! Here we come!” Gavin exclaimed as he took the lead going down the staircase with Benjamin following at the back of the children.
“Careful, kids,” he reminded when he saw them holding one another’s hands. They nodded and slowed down.
When they reached downstairs, they ran into the kitchen. “Mommy!”
“Mommy!”
The children were excited to see their mother.
Arissa’s eyes glimmered with love when she saw them all dressed up for school.
“Hello, sweethearts! Did you guys sleep well?”
“Yes, Mommy, and we’re all ready for school!” they replied.
“Good! Go put down your schoolbags and get ready for breakfast.”
The children immediately went to the living room to take off their schoolbags.
Arissa turned down the flame on the stove and brought breakfast out.
“You woke all of them up?” she asked Benjamin when she saw him in his suit and tie.
Nodding, Benjamin glanced at her and replied, “Yes. Jesse was a handful.”
Arissa laughed. “I know, right? How did you manage?”
“I brought him to the bathroom and wiped his face with a wet tower,” he replied, sitting down in the main seat.
Arissa laid out the plates while Edwin came over to help set up the table.
When the children were ready, they came over to the dining table as well.
“Morning, Mommy.”
“Morning, Mr. Whitley.”
“Morning, Ms. York.”
The children greeted each of the adults as they sat down.
“Morning, children,” Arissa greeted back, pouring each of them some oatmeal porridge.
“Come on. Eat up.”
“All right,” they answered obediently.
“Mrs. Graham, you should have a seat too. Leave the rest to me. You still have to send them to school later,” the butler reminded her kindly.
“Yes, Mommy. Have breakfast with us,” Gavin chimed in.
The rest of the children said the same as well.
“We’re waiting,” Benjamin said.
Arissa smiled. “All right. I’m coming.”
She quickly went into the kitchen and brought out the rest of the food before taking off her apron to have breakfast with them.
Edwin went over to the children’s side and put food on their plates.
Arissa was delighted to see the children enjoying their breakfast.
“Slow down. The food is hot.”
“Mommy, it’s delicious!” Jasper chirped.
“Yeah! You’re the best cook, Mommy!” Jesse remarked, the corners of her mouth stained with food.
“I like the sandwich!” Oliver added, taking another piece himself.
Seeing that the children liked it, Edwin took an extra piece for each of them.
“Wait, you guys haven’t had any sandwiches!” Tim suddenly said, looking at the empty plate and then at Arissa and Benjamin.
“Don’t worry about us. We already had some,” Arissa assured him with a kind smile.
“Huh?” Zachary was surprised. “You guys had breakfast?”
Arissa shot Benjamin a glance.
Gavin stared at his father in disbelief.
“So you ate this, Daddy?”
“Yes,” Benjamin answered.
The rest of the children were astonished.
