Chapter 657 Her Lips
All at once, the people sitting opposite Arissa raised their heads to look at her.
Arissa smiled awkwardly and pursed her lips before comforting Jesse, “It’s nothing. Hurry up and dig in!”
In the meantime, the other five kids were all staring at her too.
Tim then noticed something on the corner of Arissa’s lips.
“Ms. York, what’s wrong with your lips?” Tim touched his own lips to show her what he meant.
Upon hearing that, Kingsley, Shaun, Mary, and even Edwin were staring at the corner of her lips.
Arissa was embarrassed when she saw them looking at her.
Kingsley and Shaun seemed to have thought of something after seeing the marks on her lips, and they smiled ambiguously.
All the while, they kept glancing between Benjamin and Arissa.
Kingsley then teased her, “Mrs. Graham, what happened to your lips?”
Arissa avoided his gaze and uttered, “Perhaps I’m falling ill!”
“That doesn’t seem to be the case! I think they were bitten!” Shaun chimed in.
Indeed, she couldn’t hide it from Shaun because he was a doctor.
Arissa was rendered speechless.
Benjamin, on the other hand, glared at them ferociously. “Leave now if you guys aren’t going to eat!”
Kingsley and Shaun looked at him before exchanging glances with each other.
They both smiled at each other after realizing that they had the same idea in their heads. Now we know why Benjamin looks so unsatisfied and moody!
After that, they both smiled sheepishly and kept silent.
Arissa just kept eating with her head hung low. At that moment, she was blushing because she could sense everyone looking at her.
Benjamin’s eyes glinted when he saw her blushing.
“Eat more!” He took some food for her.
Arissa rolled her eyes and glanced at him from the corner of her eyes.
He was staring intently at her, not appearing the slightest bit apologetic at all.
He’s crazy!
Arissa cursed inwardly before going back to her meal.
She picked up the food he had given to her and chewed aggressively to vent her anger.
Benjamin couldn’t help but smile imperceptibly when he saw how grumpy she looked.
Suddenly, there was a commotion at the front door.
Benjamin furrowed his brows when he heard that.
It was Jack who had just arrived.
“Mr. Graham, you guys are back!” Jack had always been an easy-going and clumsy guy, so he just walked right in with a smile on his face.
When his gaze landed on the six children, he greeted, “Hi, everyone! We meet again!”
The kids all turned to look at him. Gavin uttered coolly, “Mr. Jack, you’re just in time!”
Jack chuckled and wanted to tousle the boy’s hair.
However, Gavin quickly dodged and stared at his hand in disgust.
Jack retracted his hand sheepishly and patted Tim instead. “Hi, Danny!”
“His name is Tim!” Benjamin’s expression turned solemn as he glared at Jack.
Jack gazed at Benjamin and quickly rectified, “Oh! Hi, Tim!”
“Hi, Mr. Jack!” Tim greeted obediently.
“You’re such a good boy!” Jack casually pinched Tim’s cheek.
Upon feeling an angry gaze fixed on him, Jack sneaked a peek at Benjamin before retracting his hand.
“Jack, you might have lost your hand if you were to pinch just a second longer,” Kingsley teased.
Upon hearing that, Shaun laughed at Jack.
“Tim is too cute! I can’t help it!” Jack chortled.
Jasper and Jesse laughed out loud, amused by the scene.
Gavin then rubbed Tim’s cheek and advised in a serious tone, “Tim, don’t let anyone pinch your cheeks anymore. Otherwise, they might go out of shape!”
Upon hearing those words, everyone laughed.
Jack ran his hand over his nose awkwardly because he had just been dissed, and by a child, no less.
Arissa chuckled because she knew how much Jack liked the kids. When she noticed he was embarrassed, she uttered, “Jack, have you eaten? Would you like to join us?”
“Sure, Mrs. Graham!” Jack was elated and went on to pull a chair out for himself.
“Did I say you can sit? Wait outside!” Benjamin scolded in a deep voice.
Jack immediately froze, not daring to sit down. In fact, he looked rather pitiful.
Arissa frowned and shot Benjamin a glance before standing up for Jack. “What’s with your temper? Jack means no harm!”
