Jack was touched. He looked at Arissa and said, “You're so

nice, Mrs. Graham!”

Arissa blushed when she heard those words.

Benjamin stared at her and snorted softly. “You're quite adept

at standing up for others, aren't you?”

Arissa's eyes flickered, and she ignored Benjamin's sarcastic

tone. “He was just messing around with the kids, no? You're

wrong for throwing a tantrum.”

Jack became worried for Arissa when he saw Benjamin's

warning look.

“Sit down, Jack!” Edwin uttered. Mr. Graham is only going to

get even more pissed if Jack keeps standing there.

Benjamin turned toward Edwin and stared at him intently.

“You're not getting paid this month!”

“Yes, Sir!” Edwin retreated to the side and kept silent.

Avrissa was frustrated by Benjamin's domineering attitude.

Although most of the people there were aware of Benjamin's

temper, Mary and Tim weren't.

That was why they felt uneasy when they saw Benjamin

throwing a tantrum.

Instantly, the mood in the dining room became awkward.

‘When Arissa saw how uncomfortable Mary looked, she

reached out her hand to tug at Benjamin's pants under the

table before shooting him a pointed look.

She then reminded him softly, “Don't throw a

tantrum when everyone's eating. Do you see that? They're

now too scared to eat.”

Benjamin glanced at her and saw how passive and coquettish

she looked.

‘When he eventually saw her hand on his pants, his mood

lightened up almost instantly.

“Please carry on, Grandaunt!” Benjamin uttered respectfully

and shot Edwin a look, hinting him to get food for Mary.

“Okay. You too!” Mary nodded and said nothing more.

Benjamin then glanced at Tim. “Tim, just take whatever you

want to eat, okay? If you can't reach them, get the others to

help you!”

“Thank you, Mr. Graham!” Tim answered politely.

After that, Benjamin's gaze shifted toward Jack.

Arissa was afraid that the tension would rise again, so she

quickly coaxed, “Benjamin, let Jack join us, okay? We have

plenty of food!”

She even placed some of his favorite food on his plate as she

spoke.

Benjamin snorted lightly and ordered, “Sit down, then!”

Jack was extremely grateful. “Thank you, Mr. Graham! Thank

you, Mrs. Graham!”

Arissa smiled awkwardly and answered, “You're welcome.

Also, you can just address me as—"

“Hey!” Benjamin voiced his displeasure.

Arissa turned to look at him.

“Did you forgCt what you've promised me?” Benjamin asked.

Reminded of her promise, Arissa cleared her throat and turned

away. “Don't be shy, okay? Eat up, everyone!” she said.

Edwin didn't feel a hint of uneasiness when he saw Arissa

acting like the lady of the house. Instead, he was rather

pleased.

Kingsley and Shaun smiled faintly when they sneaked a peek

at Benjamin, who was sitting in the main seat at the head of

the dining table. There's no doubt that Benjamin does treat

Avrissa differently.

Jack merely kept quiet as he smiled at the six kids.

The kids were all busy gobbling up the food served to them.

When they finished the food on their plates, Jack and the

others would fill it up again.

Arissa was pleased when she saw the men caring for the kids,

so she smiled and focused on filling up her own stomach.

However, she could only eat slowly because her lips were

causing her pain.

Benjamin noticed it, so he turned toward her and asked, “Are

the dishes not to your liking?”

Arissa shot him a look and answered, “That's not it!"

“Why are you eating so slow then?” Benjamin was puzzled

because she was usually a fast eater.

Avrissa twitched her lips and smiled at him before reminding

him what he had done to her.

“Are you able to eat fast if your lips are in pain?”

She had forgotten to lower her voice when she said that.

Hence, everyone in the dining room could hear her loud and

clear.

Kingsley was the first to react as he started laughing.

Seeing that, the rest of them couldn't help but laugh as well.

“Hahaha!”

“Mrs. Graham, please be honest with us, okay? Did Benjamin

do that to your lips? Did he bite you?” Kingsley asked.
