Chapter 254 Return The Favor
“Here, have some beef!” Darius said as he cut the five children a slice of roast steak each.
“Thank you, Grandpa. You should eat more too!”
Gavin did the same for Darius.
And Darius was pleasantly surprised by it. This little guy has always eaten while quietly ignoring everyone around him. He has changed so much, having been gone for only a few days. Does being with his siblings influence him this much?
After that, Zachary, Oliver, Jasper, and Jesse all followed suit and place different dishes on Darius’ plate.
“Grandpa, don’t just look at us. Eat up! If not, we might finish everything!” Jesse said with her missing front teeth, adorable to no end.
Darius was delighted. “Don’t worry. If you finish them, we can ask them to make some more!”
“Jesse, what about me? Where’s mine? I might start ignoring you from now on,” Kingsley teased the little girl.
Jesse’s eyes immediately darted toward Kingsley, and she proceeded to try and fork some food over to him.
“Uncle Kingsley, you’re too far away, move your plate closer!”
Kingsley was ecstatic, so he handed his plate over and let Jesse put food in it.
“Thank you, Jesse!”
“You’re welcome!” Jesse sat down once again and started munching her food.
“Jesse, what about me? You shouldn’t have favorites, you know?”
Shaun smiled as he looked at Jesse.
So, Jesse shifted her beady gaze toward him. “What would you like to eat, Uncle Shaun?”
Shaun smiled and gave Kingsley a smug look.
“I like shrimps.”
So, Jesse took a few pieces of shrimp and placed them on his plate.
“Good girl!”
Shaun took one shrimp and peeled the shell off before placing it on Jesse’s plate.
Jesse looked at him. “Why did you give it to me, Uncle Shaun?”
“Because I feel like it!” Shaun smile at her endearingly.
“Thank you, Uncle Shaun!” Jesse was overjoyed.
“Do you guys want some shrimp?” Shaun asked the other four kids.
“Yes, please!” They all nodded.
With that, Shaun took up the responsibility of deshelling the shrimps and gave some to Darius first before distributing them evenly between the children.
“Thank you, Shaun.” Darius’ lips curled.
“You’re most welcome, Mr. Graham. After all, I’m the one enjoying a free meal here. This is the least I could do,” Shaun responded with a smile.
Kingsley laughed when he heard that. “Based on what you just said, I would be ashamed of myself if I don’t help out.”
Then, he took a crab and started deshelling it.
The kids were all thrilled and took one each to deshell for the three adults.
“What are you guys doing? Just let me do it.”
Kingsley looked at the five children funnily.
“Mommy said that we should always return a favor. So, if you’re doing it for us, we should do it for you!”
Zachary was very serious about deshelling the crab.
So, other than Jesse, who did not quite do it right, the four brothers all did superbly and distributed the deshelled crabs to Darius, Shaun, and Kingsley.
All three adults were very happy to see that.
Darius looked at the four kids raised by Arissa and was very satisfied to see that they were all very polite and respected their elders.
Their mother has taught them well.
It left a very good impression in Darius’ mind.
She’s way better than that pretentious Danna. In the end, the biological mother is still the best.
Then, Darius looked at Gavin, relieved to see that the boy was fitting in and getting along happily.
The boy did not smile much when he was with Benjamin, but Darius had already seen more smiles from him in just one day.
“Here, wipe your hands with this.”
Darius took a towel and got up to help the kids wipe their hands.
“Thanks, Grandpa, but we can do it ourselves.”
Jasper wanted to wipe his hand, but Darius dodged him.
“Let me do it. I like it!”
“Alright then, Grandpa. Thank you.”
The little child’s cutesy voice was very endearing, and Darius just could not stop smiling.
