Chapter 952

Benjamin's brows furrowed slightly. “Is oxtail soup hygienic?”

It's made of the tail of a cow, after all.

Arissa thought, Oh God, I shouldn't have asked him. He's a germaphobe, so he doesn't eat such a thing.

“You can try it later. It's very fragrant!”

How filthy can cows' tails be? They're exceedingly clean, okay? Cows merely roam in pastures, so cows' tails are far

cleaner than pigs' tails.

And so, Arissa led the children in search of the stall selling oxtail soup.

After they exited the amusement park, the aroma grew all the stronger. That aside, they were greeted by the sight

of a long queue.

“Follow your daddy. I'll go and buy it.”

Leaving that instruction to her five sons, Arissa joined the queue.

“We'll accompany you, Mommy!”

Jasper trotted over.

“Go and wait in the car. I've still got to stand in line here,” Arissa said, glancing back over her shoulder.

Then, she said to Benjamin, “Keep an eye on them, Benjamin!”

Benjamin quirked a brow, feeling a touch disgruntled that all the children wanted to stay with her.

Thus, he also headed over to them on his long legs while carrying his daughter in his arms.

Seeing that they had all come over, Arissa chortled. “You all want to queue as well?”

There are still dozens of people in front of us.

A frown marred Benjamin's countenance, and he proposed, “Let's wait in the car. I'll have the bodyguards buy it.”

After all, who knows how long we'll have to wait.

He eyed the long queue before him, greatly puzzled. Is this really that delicious?

“No, it's okay. Let's not trouble them.”

Arissa glanced at the bodyguards who were with them. They don't have it easy either.

With his brows scrunched together, Benjamin waited with her and the children.

“Why don't you go back to the car first?”

Arissa was worried that it would be taxing for him, considering the fact that he was cradling Jesse.

“I'll just wait with you,” Benjamin insisted, pursing his lips.

In light of his demurral, Arissa stretched out her hands. “I'll carry her for a while.”

“No, it's okay.”

Benjamin was adamant about carrying Jesse by himself, even shifting her so that she could sleep more comfortably.

Jesse lay against the man's shoulder.

Arissa smiled, looking at the man.

He kept grumbling about us pampering Jesse, but he has also changed a lot after learning that she's a girl!

“Why are you smiling?”

Benjamin raised a brow domineeringly.

The corners of Arissa's mouth lifted, and she teased, “Didn't you say that you want Jesse to be like the other boys?

It isn't proper for you to be showing her preferential treatment!”

Benjamin was stunned for a moment. “She's already asleep. Am I to carry her on my back instead of in my arms?”

Arissa snickered, but she didn't expose him.

Benjamin continued queuing with Jesse in his arms.

When the line remained stationary after they had queued for some time, he lifted his wrist and glanced at the time.

“Carry Jesse for a while. I'll go and buy it.”

How much longer do we need to wait if this persists? It's already past ten o'clock now, and it's going to be eleven

o'clock soon.

“You're planning on jumping the queue?” Arissa questioned in a low voice to prevent the children from overhearing.

But it'd be even worse if he were to do that, no?

“I've got a plan.”

Shooting her a look, Benjamin bent down a fraction and handed Jesse to her.

Arissa took her daughter from him.

Thereafter, Benjamin strode toward the front of the queue.

“Why did Daddy go to the front, Mommy?”

Gavin's eyes went wide like saucers.

Meanwhile, Tim blinked. Don't tell me Daddy is going to cut in line. That wouldn't be appropriate, would it?

“Mr. Graham is going to jump the queue?”

Zachary stared fixedly in Benjamin's direction.

Jasper and Oliver giggled. “I never thought that Mr. Graham would do such a thing as jump the queue!”

The corners of Arissa's mouth twitched.

In order to maintain Benjamin's image in the children's hearts, she clarified, “He isn't going to the front to jump the

queue.”

“Why else, then?”

Zachary was confused.

That had Arissa at a loss for words, for she wasn't sure why Benjamin had gone to the front either. If I deny it, what

if I happen to be proven wrong later?

“Perhaps he wants to have a look at the menu? Let's just wait and see.”

Utterly curious, the children craned their necks as they observed Benjamin.

“Let's go and have a look, too!” Jasper couldn't stay still.

Arissa quickly held him back. “Don't run around!”
