Chapter 946 Stop Harassing My Wife
Benjamin brought Arissa and their six children to have lunch. Unexpectedly, Regan was having his meal there as well.
He had yet to wrap his mind around the fact that Arissa had gotten married. His eyes glinted when he saw the man with a regal bearing and formidable aura beside her. Is he the mysterious Mr. Graham?
At the thought of his lack of shrewdness in offending Arissa, he hastily approached his daughter shamefacedly.
“Issa!” Arissa looked at Regan with a poker face, showing no inclination to entertain him. “Issa, I suppose this is Benjamin. You two should come home to have a meal with us when you’re free.”
Regan regarded the couple with an amicable expression. Benjamin held Arissa’s hand and didn’t even spare Regan a glance.
Arissa ignored Regan too. Those people trailing behind Regan shuffled forward to greet Benjamin after realizing who the latter was.
“Good day, Mr. Graham.” Benjamin merely responded with a slight nod. Because of his overly imposing aura, those people didn’t dare to act too chummily with him. Instead, they sounded Regan out in an undertone.
“Mr. York, who is this?” Someone was curious about Arissa’s identity. “Issa is my eldest daughter. Her name is Arissa York. Benjamin is my son-in-law!” Regan introduced proudly.
He didn’t care even though Arissa and Benjamin completely disregarded him. Arissa sneered. “Regan, who’s your daughter and son-in-law? Quit trying to relate yourself to us. We don’t have the slightest connection with you!”
Those people who came with Regan turned to look at him awkwardly.
Unable to stand the embarrassment, Regan coaxed Arissa in a low voice, “Issa, I know you’re still mad at me. I was wrong for infuriating you previously, but that doesn’t change the fact that you’re my daughter. It’s one thing to be angry at me, but you should avoid spouting statements like this. Others will treat us as mere laughingstock if they hear you. Bring Benjamin home with you to have dinner with us when you have the time.”
How pretentious!
She flashed a mocking smile.
“We’ve cut ties long ago. I doubt we’ll be able to digest the food at the York residence either. You can quit wasting your effort.”
She was well aware of his intention.
“You just want to become acquainted and curry favors with Benjamin, don’t you?” Arissa added harshly.
Regan’s face darkened as he felt utterly humiliated.
Just then, the six kids ran over. “Mommy, hurry up!”
“Okay,” Arissa answered before striding toward them.
Regan widened his eyes in astonishment when he heard the children addressing Arissa as their mother.
Noticing their facial features, which resemble Benjamin’s, he grew even more shocked. Does that mean Arissa has been with Benjamin for a long time?
“Stop harassing my wife!” Benjamin warned Regan before walking away to catch up with his family.
Regan frowned as remorse filled his chest. I would’ve buttered Arissa up if I had known she knew Benjamin and was in an intimate relationship with him. I shouldn’t have helped my mother to scold Arissa at Northstream back then.
“Mr. York, I have to leave now. Let’s meet again next time.”
“Mr. York, I have some unfinished work at my office, so I’ll be going now.”
Realizing Regan’s unamiable, perhaps even hostile, relationship with Benjamin, the people planning to have lunch with Regan excused themselves one after the other, skipping the meal altogether.
After all, Benjamin did not treat Regan like the latter was his father-in-law when he warned him earlier.
If they continued to have their meal with Regan, that would imply their stance of opposing Benjamin, and they didn’t have the guts to offend someone like Benjamin.
Regan grimaced. I went to so much trouble to invite these people here, yet they all left because of Benjamin’s words.
He gritted his teeth while staring in the direction Arissa and the others had left. Did Arissa really give birth to the six kids?
His eyes shone. I’m a granddad. Those six children are my grandchildren.
He couldn’t help but walk toward them but was halted by the bodyguards.
“Issa is my daughter!” Regan hurriedly explained.
“I’m sorry. Without Mr. Graham’s order, we’ll never let you pass.” The bodyguard blocked Regan’s way forward.
Regan stayed there for some time and only left after accepting the fact that he couldn’t get in.
