Chapter 746 A Bun For Benjamin
“Grandaunt, we’ve only just arrived and haven’t even warmed our seats yet. Why are you chasing us away so soon?” Arissa said jokingly before she stood up to fetch a basin of warm water to wipe Mary’s hand and face.
“Just look at me, I’m really fine! The kids must be tired after having classes the entire day as well. You should bring them back to rest!” “Grandaunt, don’t worry. I’ll bring them back in a while!” Arissa replied quickly.
Benjamin and Shaun were sitting on the couch. Seeing that Benjamin was replying to some emails, Shaun called the kids over. “Gavin, come here with your siblings. Come and give me a hug! I missed all of you so much today!”
Gavin glanced at the man and replied, “I’m not hugging you!” Shaun could not help but feel amused at the boy’s response. Since he was ignored by the boys, Shaun looked toward Jesse and said, “Jesse, come here!
However, Jesse did not move as well, seeing that her brothers had all stayed put. Shaun did not know whether to laugh or cry. “Why are you guys not coming here? Is it so interesting to watch Great-grandaunt bathe? Shame, shame!”
When the little ones heard that, all of them blushed with embarrassment. However, instead of going over to Shaun, they merely turned around and stared at the man with their backs facing the bed.
Shaun was speechless. When Arissa saw that, she exchanged smiling glances with Mary. “Sweethearts, go play with Mr. Bailey!” Arissa said. The kids merely acknowledged their mother’s words without moving.
Shaun looked toward Benjamin and asked, “What’s going on with your kids? Why is it so difficult to get them to come over?” “You’re harboring impure motives!” Benjamin replied without looking up.
The corners of Shaun’s lips twitched before he answered, “I just wanted a hug from them! How is that impure?” After saying that, Shaun turned to the kids again and tried to tempt them over with fruits, but that didn’t work as well.
Just then, the bodyguard arrived with the buns he bought, and the little ones dashed toward him at once. “Tim, give two buns to Great-grandaunt first!” Gavin said to his brother after seeing that there were extra buns.
“Okay!” Tim brought two buns over to Mary and said, “Great-grandaunt, these are for you!” Mary took over one bun and said with a smile, “Just one is enough. I’m going to have my meal in a while.”
Tim nodded and gave the other bun to Arissa. “Thanks, Sweetheart. You should go have one yourself too.”
Arissa took the bun from her son and started eating. “It’s piping hot! It’s so yummy! Grandaunt, you should eat it now!” Arissa beamed as she said to Mary.
Mary nodded and took a bite before saying, “This is better than the ones I make!”
“Great-grandaunt’s buns are the best!” Tim looked at Mary and said.
When Mary heard that, she replied with a chuckle, “How do you know that when you haven’t even tasted this bun yet?”
“I’m sure that Great-grandaunt makes the best buns!” Tim said as he recalled the taste of those buns fondly.
“I’ll make you more buns next time!” Mary said affectionately. “Okay!”
Just then, Tim heard Gavin calling him over, and he quickly joined his siblings as they ate their buns together.
Arissa finished hers in no time and asked, “Grandaunt, you make your own buns?”
“Yup! I make raviolis as well!” Mary replied with a smile.
“Let’s make some together when you get better!”
Arissa was rather keen on tasting Mary’s cooking.
“Sure!” Mary nodded.
Arissa brought the basin to the restroom while the six little ones ate their buns with Shaun.
The atmosphere in the room was extremely lively.
“This is the best bun I’ve ever had!” Shaun said jokingly.
“My mommy makes better buns than these!” Zachary announced proudly.
“My great-grandaunt makes really yummy buns too!” Tim glanced at Shaun and said softly.
“Mommy’s buns are better than those made by Mr. Whitley. Let’s ask Mommy to make some for us when she’s free!” Gavin chimed in.
Jasper and Oliver nodded in agreement.
“The buns are all so yummy!” Jesse said with a grin on her face.
Her five brothers could not help but feel amused at the little girl’s words.
“Jesse, anything edible is yummy to you, right?” Shaun teased.
Jesse glanced at the man before she nodded and replied, “Well, this is indeed yummy!”
Shaun laughed heartily when he heard the girl’s reply.
“Mr. Graham, have a bun too!”
Noticing that Benjamin had not eaten yet, Tim handed a bun to his father.
