Chapter 911 Millions Is Gone
Jasper exclaimed, “Mommy, look! It’s so pretty!” Oliver said, “It’s been a while since I last saw fireworks!” Tim claimed, “How pretty…”
“Mr. Watts, more fireworks, please!” Zachary requested while clapping his hands. Gavin shouted, “Mommy, it’s so beautiful. Look!” Arissa smiled in response and watched the dazzling fireworks light up the sky in surprise.
Benjamin was happy to know the children and Arissa liked the fireworks very much. Wrapping an arm around Arissa, he also looked up at the enchanting view in the sky.
“I want to take some photos!” Arissa realized her phone was still in her bag, which she left on the cabinet when she wanted to get her phone to take pictures.
“Here. You can use my phone.” Benjamin passed his phone to her.
With that, Arissa beamed so widely that her eyes became mere slits. Immediately, she took some photos of the fireworks.
As Benjamin intently stared at her beaming smile, he could not help but plant a kiss on her cheek.
When Edwin saw that, he smiled and averted his gaze to enjoy the fireworks.
Meanwhile, Arissa sneaked a glance at her surroundings. She only felt less awkward after knowing everyone was focusing their attention on the fireworks in the sky.
Benjamin wrapped his arm around her waist. “Just enjoy the view. Why are you still taking pictures?”
“Because it’s beautiful!” Arissa responded and continued to take a few more photos.
She was overjoyed just like her children since she hadn’t seen fireworks up close in a long time.
Besides that, she took some pictures of the kids as well.
Benjamin abruptly got the phone from her and took a selfie of the two of them.
Arissa turned around to look at him.
“You’re taking photos of the children but not me?” Benjamin asked with a smile.
Upon hearing his question, Arissa chuckled. “I thought you didn’t like it,” she replied while looking up at the fireworks.
Benjamin snorted in response.
“Wow! That is so nice!”
“Look! At the back! Woah!”
The kids cheered in excitement. All of them ran over to Arissa’s side to hold her hands and watched the fireworks with her.
“Mommy, such beautiful fireworks!”
“Yes!” Arissa exclaimed together with the children while holding their shoulders.
Benjamin’s lips curved upward slightly when he saw how excited Arissa and the six children were.
“There’s more to come!”
The kids were over the moon.
Although the beautiful fireworks lasted ten minutes and consisted of all kinds of patterns, Arissa still hadn’t seen enough of them.
Even the six children wanted more.
Jesse uttered regretfully, “The fireworks finished too soon!”
“That’s the longest fireworks I’ve ever seen!” Tim was overjoyed.
“Tim, there will be more beautiful fireworks during New Year!” Gavin shared the joy with his brother.
Tim nodded with anticipation written all over his face.
“We’ll still have to wait a long time for New Year to arrive!” Oliver sighed while pushing his glasses.
Zachary heaved a sigh and chimed in, “You’re right. There’s still a long way until New Year!”
“I can’t get enough of the fireworks!” Jasper pursed his lips.
Gavin nodded. “Me too. Mr. Watts should have ignited more fireworks!”
“We might be able to see the fireworks again when there’s an event in the future,” Arissa comforted the children.
Meanwhile, Kingsley and Jonathan walked over and heard their conversation.
“Well, the fireworks cost millions!” Kingsley uttered with a smile.
Arissa giggled in response.
“Since you guys like it so much, let’s see the fireworks again a few days later!” Benjamin announced.
“Isn’t that too lavish?” To Arissa, it would be enough to see it once in a while as it would cost a lot to do it frequently.
“When the kids return to pay respect to their ancestors, we can light the fireworks at night.” Benjamin glanced at her before he added, “I can still afford it!”
“Mrs. Graham, Benjamin is rich. If he doesn’t spend the money, what is the point of making so much of it and not spending?” Kingsley teased.
Arissa merely smiled and said nothing.
Benjamin supported her to sit down before he turned around to return to his seat.
Edwin added two chairs each on one side among the children for Kingsley and Jonathan.
“I’m starving! When I saw you guys eating just now, I wished I could rush over to eat with you.” Kingsley immediately dug in.
Mirth filled Jonathan. “When he was over there just now, he almost ran here to urge Benjamin to propose.”
Arissa looked at them and asked them to have some food.
Benjamin swept a glance at the duo. “Thanks.”
