The More the Merrier Chapter 954

Chapter 954 Are You Not Sharing It with Me

“Here, I’ll carry Jesse.” Benjamin took his daughter from Arissa and cradled her in his arms. That aside, he even snagged a blanket and draped it over her.

Quirking a brow, Arissa smiled. “You guys go ahead and eat.”

Benjamin gazed down at her, his voice a mere whisper. Noticing that their sister was asleep, Gavin and the rest of the children followed suit, lowering their voices thoughtfully.

“Is Jesse not eating?” Tim inquired. “She’s already asleep,” Jasper replied. Zachary chimed in, “We’ll just save some for her.”

Benjamin pinned his eyes on them. “There’s more. The bodyguards will be bringing the rest over in a while. Eat first.”

Hearing that, the five boys were overjoyed. “Can we eat, Mommy?”

Gavin turned to Arissa, swallowing audibly.

Arissa couldn’t resist the temptation either as the fragrant aroma wafted into her nostrils. She carefully took one out. “Let’s eat together.”

“Sure!”

Excited to the core, Oliver picked up a spoon and handed it to his mother.

“Here, this is for you, Mommy.”

“Thank you.”

Stirring it for a bit, Arissa inhaled deeply. “How fragrant!”

She looked at her five sons, chuckling at the sight of them drooling.

Scooping up a spoonful of the soup, she fed it to Tim first. “Try some, Tim!”

Tim opened his mouth and ate it. His eyes promptly lit up, and he nodded fervently. “It’s delicious, Mommy!”

Flashing him an affectionate smile, Arissa fed him another spoonful.

“Hey, we want to eat, too, Mommy! You can’t just feed Tim alone!” Jasper protested.

“There’s more, so you don’t need to panic.”

Taking a spoonful of soup, she fed it to Jasper before doing the same with Oliver, Gavin, and Zachary.

“Eat some, too, Mommy! It smells really good.”

Zachary’s eyes lit up.

Smiling, Arissa ate a spoonful herself.

Indeed, it’s delicious!

Seeing that the children had swallowed and were looking at her eagerly, she hastily fed them again.

After feeding them, she took a spoonful and was just about to eat it when she glimpsed the man beside her. She held it out to him.

“Try some, too!”

Benjamin eyed the oxtail soup that contained the tail of a cow, his brows knitting together.

“Try it! You’ve already tried offal anyway. This tastes even better than offal!” Arissa cajoled.

The five boys stared at their father while grinning from ear to ear.

“It’s delicious, Daddy! It smells really good.”

Gavin wanted Benjamin to try it as well.

“Yeah. Quick, open your mouth! It’s going to drip!” Arissa warned.

“Take it—”

Before he had finished speaking, a drop of soup dripped right onto his shirt. His handsome face started contorting.

Following that, Gavin’s jaw dropped open in shock.

Tim, Oliver, Zachary, and Jasper were also taken by surprise.

It never occurred to Arissa that the soup would really drip onto his shirt. She flashed him a sheepish smile. “I’ll wash it for you when we arrive home.”

Benjamin shot her a sidelong glance.

“Hurry up and eat it!” Arissa brought the spoon to his mouth again.

Benjamin heaved a sigh. His striking face stiffened, but still, he opened his mouth.

Arissa fixated her eyes on him. However, his expression remained unchanged, so she couldn’t tell whether he liked it.

“Quick, give me some, Mommy!”

Jasper tugged on the hem of her shirt.

“Sure, sure!” Arissa hurriedly scooped some for the children.

In no time, they had finished the entire serving of oxtail soup.

“Hmm?”

Nudging Arissa’s arm, Benjamin arched a brow.

Arissa turned to glance at him even as she took another serving out. “What is it?”

Benjamin motioned at the oxtail soup with his eyes. “Are you not sharing it with me?”

Immediately, Arissa gaped at him. “I thought you didn’t like it?”

Narrowing his eyes a fraction, Benjamin shot daggers at her.

Arissa blinked, surprised beyond words. “You find it delicious as well?”

Benjamin’s lips pressed into a thin line. “Its taste is still acceptable.”

“Is that a compliment or what?” Arissa deliberately asked with her eyes trained on him.

The corners of Benjamin’s mouth lifted slightly. “It’s a compliment.”

“In that case, eat more!”
