Benjamin furrowed his brows as he followed Arissa out of the

bathroom. But instead of going to the dining room, he turned

and went into the bathroom next door.

She chuckled when she saw that. Hearing the sound of chatter

and laughter coming from the dining room, she hurried over

there.

Kingsley, Shaun, and Ethen were inside the room already.

When the six children saw her, they called out excitedly.

“Mommy!”

“Ms. York!”

Arissa murmured an acknowledgment in an affectionate tone.

Edwin drew out a chair near the head of the table and

motioned for her to sit down. “Please sit here, Ms. York.”

The kids were also sitting on the same side of the table as her.

After taking her seat, she glanced at the table laden with

delicious dishes. It was evident that Edwin had put in a lot of

effort as the food looked just like what one would expect to find

at a five-star hotel.

Edwin proceeded to instruct the help to serve the soup.

Tim secretly gulped as he gazed at the scrumptious spread on

the table while Jasper took a deep whiff of the delicious food

and declared, “It smells good!”

Meanwhile, Oliver and Jesse's stomachs started rumbling.

Jesse leaned against the table, staring starry-eyed at the

delectable dishes. “I can tell they're going to taste yummy just

by looking at them.”

Although Zachary laughed at her remark, he could not help

gulping too as his mouth watered at the sight of the food. “Why

isn't Mr. Graham here yet?”

“He's such a slowpoke,” Gavin grumbled, his remark tickling

Kingsley, Shaun, and Ethen.

Arissa's eyes twinkled with amusement as

she gazed at her children. “Daddy will be here soon. Just be

patient.”

After serving the soup, Edwin lifted the plate covers keeping

the food warm.

“Be careful, everyone. The food is hot.”

Just then, Benjamin walked in and swept his gaze over the

room. “Let's eat.”

He sat at the head of the table, then turned to Mary and said

warmly, “Help yourself to anything you fancy, Grandaunt. Think

of this as your house.”

Delighted, Mary replied, “All right.”

“Remember to blow on your soup and drink it slowly. Be

careful not to burn your tongue,” Arissa

reminded softly.

“I will. You should all hurry up and eat too!” said Mary, waiting

for the others to start digging in before she started eating.

Looking around at the kids and seeing Tim eating along with

the others, Arissa's lips curved into a smile.

Benjamin also cast a glance at the little ones. Seeing them

wolfing their food down ravenously, he cautioned, “Eat slowly,

kids.”

They raised their heads and glanced at him, then nodded.

Withdrawing his gaze from the children and looking toward

Arissa, he said, “You should eat too.”

“Okay,” she murmured, shooting a quick glance at him before

drinking her soup.

After finishing half a bow! of soup, Kingsley let out a contented

sigh. “I'm starving!”

Shaun laughed. “I can't believe you still have the audacity to

say that you're starving after how much you ate on the plane.”

“Right? He sneakily ate everything!” Jasper

piped up.

“Hush!”

Kingsley gestured for Jasper to lower his voice as he stole a

glance in Benjamin's direction, and the

other kids could not help giggling upon catching sight of that.

‘When Benjamin glanced at Kingsley, the latter merely smiled

back sheepishly.

Edwin had been standing behind the children, and when he

saw they had almost finished their soup, he asked in a low

voice, “Would you like some more soup?”

Jasper wanted more soup, so he quickly replied, “I'd like

another bowl of soup, Mr. Whitley.”

“Mr. Whitley, | want some pasta,” Jesse answered in her soft

and adorable voice.

Edwin felt his heart melt and agreed to bring some at once.

Then, he turned to Tim and asked, “Would you like to have

‘soup or pasta?”

Edwin could tell that Tim was feeling shy, so he smiled and

patted the boy's head fondly before going to get the pasta.

After serving Jesse and Tim their pasta, he ladled soup into a

bowl and placed it in front of Jasper. “Be careful. It's hot.”

“Thank you, Mr. Whitley!” Jasper sang out with a bright smile.

Tim and Jesse also thanked him sweetly.

“You're all such good children,” Edwin praised as he placed

more food on their plates.

Gavin, Zachary, and Oliver finished drinking their soup just

then and wanted to have pasta, so Edwin hastened to bring

them some.

Seeing Arissa getting up to take some pasta for herself, he

quickly took away her plate.

“Ms. York, please go ahead and enjoy the other dishes. I'll

bring you the pasta.”
