Chapter 821 Still Not Calling Her Mommy
Arissa finished cooking the pasta, and Edwin helped to serve the food on the table so that the children, Kingsley, and the others could help themselves.
“Uncle Kingsley, Mr. Patterson, and Mr. Bailey, please enjoy the food,” Gavin said as he pushed a plate of food in Kingsley’s direction. Zachary pushed his plate toward Shaun too.
“Mr. Bailey, please enjoy the pasta.” “Mr. Patterson, you too,” Tim said as he passed a plate to Jonathan. The three of them were elated and accepted the children’s offer.
“Hurry up and eat. I’m going to cook some more if this is not enough!” Arissa said as she went to fetch some plates for her kids. “Mrs. Graham, the barbecued meat was really good!” Kingsley said with a wide grin.
“We don’t have any streaky bacon at home anymore. I’m going to make you some more next time,” Arissa remarked. “Thank you, Mrs. Graham. I sure hope I am welcome here every day.”
Kingsley wolfed down the scrumptious pasta, the delectable taste making him grin from ear to ear. Shaun and Jonathan found his demeanor amusing. “You’re truly the one with the most time to spare, huh.”
Shaun was always busy at the hospital, while Jonathan was busy with his cases at the law firm. Of the three of them, Kingsley was indeed the one with the most time to spare.
“Don’t worry, I’m going to take photos and show them to you guys,” Kingsley said.
Shaun and Jonathan exchanged glances with each other and shook their heads.
“Is the food not enough to stuff your mouths?”
All of them dared not utter a single word more after Benjamin spoke up.
Arissa chuckled. Then, she reminded her kids, “Be careful of the hot foods.”
“Thank you, Mommy.”
“Thank you, Ms. York!”
The six children piped up.
“Tim, are you still calling your mommy Ms. York?” Kingsley asked the little boy in a teasing manner.
Tim lowered his head awkwardly.
Arissa smiled and patted her son’s head. “It’s all right. Just ignore him and eat your pasta.”
“Okay,” Tim nodded.
Arissa was delighted to see all her children enjoying the pasta.
“You take a seat and eat too.” Benjamin tugged at her.
“Do you want some?” Arissa turned around and asked.
“I’d like some soup,” Benjamin said as he looked at the others enjoying their food.
Arissa went over to the kitchen to fetch him a bowl of soup full of seafood and vegetables.
“You have to finish it,” she said.
Benjamin did not protest.
“Mrs. Graham, do have some too. I’m going to prepare some snacks,” Edwin stated.
“Could you get us some fried chicken wings, please?”
Kingsley took it upon himself to order some food.
Edwin chuckled in amusement.
“Mr. Watts, do you want anything else?”
“Get me some beef skewers, corn on the cob, and some beer,” Kingsley added with a chortle.
Edwin asked Shaun and Jonathan if they wanted anything else, and the two did not add more to Kingsley’s list.
“Mrs. Graham, what about you?” Edwin asked as he looked at Arissa.
“It’s all right. Just prepare what Mr. Watts asked for but in a bigger portion. I’ve already had some food outside,” Arissa replied with a smile.
Edwin then headed inside to prepare some more food.
Benjamin enjoyed his scrumptious soup without another word.
It was a bowl of warm and comforting soup.
Arissa, Kingsley, and the others were satiated after enjoying the delicious pasta.
“My sweethearts, do you want some more?”
Arissa kept her eyes on her children’s bowls.
“I’ve had enough, Mommy,” Gavin replied.
“Me too,” Zachary said.
“Ms. York, I’m good,” Tim informed.
Oliver and Jasper shook their heads as well as they stated, “Mommy, we’ve had enough too.”
“Mommy, I want one more serving of this,” Jesse chimed in after looking at her five brothers.
“I’m going to get you some more after this,” Arissa said dotingly as she patted her daughter’s head.
“You have such a good appetite,” Kingsley quipped.
He found Jesse’s little cheeks plump and adorable.
Shaun cast a glance at the little girl, amazed by her huge appetite.
Kingsley looked at Jesse and then at Arissa. “Jesse looks just like you, Mrs. Graham!”
