Chapter 820 Munch Away
“Do you like it?” asked Benjamin as he watched Tim chew his food. Tim nodded. When Tim finished, Benjamin gave him another. “Thank you, Mr. Graham,” said Tim happily.
Benjamin then rubbed his head with fondness. “Mr. Graham, are you done?” asked Oliver. “Of course not!” replied Benjamin as he looked at the boy.
“Oh, I see.” Oliver was eyeing Benjamin’s food. “Want some?” Benjamin’s eyes twinkled as he smiled. Oliver adjusted his glasses before he chuckled.
Benjamin fed him a piece too. Oliver grinned and said, “Thank you, Mr. Graham.” “Mr. Graham, can I have a piece too?”
Jasper started to act cute toward Benjamin in the hope of some food. He blinked his eyes at him. It was an amusing sight. “Sure!” Benjamin gave a piece of meat to him too. He then looked at Gavin, Zachary, and Jesse. “Do you guys want some more?”
“Yes!” yelled Jesse. “Come over here.” Benjamin fed her another piece. Both Gavin and Zachary shook their heads. Arissa popped her head out of the kitchen and asked, “Sweethearts, are you guys hungry? Shall I cook some pasta for all of you?”
“Yes, Mommy! I want pasta!” Jasper got excited and ran to the door.
Jesse joined him. “Mommy, me too!”
With a smile, Arissa said gently, “Got it. I’ll cook the pasta in a short while. Don’t take your daddy’s food. He hasn’t had his dinner yet.”
The children stuck their tongues out, and Jasper teased Arissa, “Mommy doesn’t love us anymore. She only cares about Mr. Graham.”
Arissa blushed upon hearing that.
When Shaun, Kingsley, and Jonathan heard what Jasper said, they broke out in laughter.
Once Arissa served Benjamin his steak, she went back into the kitchen to cook the pasta.
Kingsley was very thick-skinned and followed Arissa into the kitchen. “Mrs. Graham, can you cook some for us as well? I didn’t have my fill at the banquet just now.”
“Is seafood pasta all right for you?” asked Arissa as she turned her head.
“Of course. We are okay with anything.”
Kingsley dared not make any request. Instead, he made his way back to his seat with a smile and found himself looking straight into Benjamin’s stare.
“Heh! Heh! Benjamin, you can’t just eat by yourself. We need to eat too.”
Benjamin snorted. “If you are hungry, why don’t you go out and have supper instead?”
Kingsley stated shamelessly, “The supper I get outside is nothing compared to Mrs. Graham’s cooking!”
To that, Benjamin raised his eyebrows. The compliment made him feel pleased indeed.
“Let me check on Arissa and see if she needs any help.” With that, Shaun went into the kitchen.
However, not long after, Arissa chased him out. “She doesn’t want my help!”
The corners of Kingsley’s mouth twitched. “You’re only putting on a show, and Mrs. Graham can tell. That’s why she doesn’t want to force you.”
Shaun glared at him before retorting, “At least I offered to help, unlike you!”
Jonathan admitted with a smile, “Well, I will just wait for the food.”
“My mommy is very fast at cooking pasta. She will be done in a few minutes,” said Zachary proudly to the adults as he beamed with pride.
Jonathan patted his head and asked, “I heard you know how to cook too?”
Zachary nodded. “Yes, all of us can cook!”
“That’s right! All of us know how to cook,” said Gavin with a smile.
“How about Tim?” asked Jonathan gently.
“I do. I know how to make a salad,” informed Tim as he nodded his head.
“All of you are great. One of these days, I must try your cooking.”
Jonathan was stunned to learn that those children could whip up a few dishes.
“Don’t try to be funny!” warned Benjamin.
Jonathan smiled sheepishly.
Seeing his children looking at him, Benjamin ended up feeding all of them a piece of his steak as well.
Benjamin’s appetite increased when he saw the children enjoying the food.
Very soon, the father and six children devoured the piece of steak.
Kingsley, Shaun, and Jonathan had rarely witnessed such a heartwarming scene. Furthermore, they did not expect to see that loving side of Benjamin.
