Chapter 747 Did Daddy Discover Something
Benjamin stroked the boy’s head gently, pleased by his offer. “You can have it. I don’t eat buns.” Gavin glanced at Benjamin before turning to Tim. “Daddy doesn’t like to eat this!”
Tim froze for a moment. Why not? Buns are delicious! Upon noticing the confused look on his face, Shaun chuckled. “Your Daddy is a picky eater. He doesn’t know how to appreciate delicious food.”
Zachary, Oliver, Jasper, and Jesse could not help but giggle. Arissa walked toward them and glanced at Benjamin before turning her attention to the children. “You kids should eat more. We’re still hours away from dinner.”
“There’s still a lot of buns left, Mommy. Join us!” The little ones invited Arissa over. “All right!”
Since Mary was still eating, Arissa walked toward Benjamin and sat next to him. The man tilted his head, looked at her, and ordered, “Here. Eat mine!”
Arissa turned around and gave him a side-eye. “Finish it yourself! I’ll eat mine.” Benjamin knitted his brows. She took a bun and stuffed it in his hand. “What are you waiting for? Eat it!” Shaun found their interaction amusing.
The six little ones all fixed their gazes on Benjamin as well. The man scanned the children and saw them munching on the buns like wide-eyed chipmunks. The expression on his face softened. “Focus on enjoying your buns. They wouldn’t taste as good when they get cold!”
The children chuckled before lowering their heads and continued savoring the buns. After finishing the bun in her hand, Arissa reached for another one. Benjamin then gave her his bun. “Take this!”
“That’s your bun. You eat it!” Arissa got a little annoyed. Benjamin arched his brows and smirked. “I’m only giving it to you because you seem hungry!” Arissa instantly blushed when she heard those words. “I’m not hungry!”
“Why would you gobble up the bun if you’re not hungry?” Benjamin stared at her from the corner of his eyes. The corners of Arissa’s mouth twitched. Benjamin fed the bun to her. “I don’t want it. You eat it!”
Arissa snatched it from the man and munched on it. Edwin, who came to deliver food, greeted everyone with respect. “Hello, Mr. Graham, Mrs. Graham, Mr. Bailey. Hi, kids!”
“Edwin?” Arissa stood up and retrieved the food container from him. “Go and grab yourself a bun, Edwin.”
“Thank you, Mrs. Graham!” Edwin responded with a smile and listed out the ingredients in the container to Arissa. The woman bobbed her head in acknowledgment before bringing the container to Mary’s bed.
Edwin helped set up the dining table before going over to the kids. Arissa then took the food out of the container and started feeding Mary dinner. Benjamin asked Edwin, “Is dinner ready at home yet?”
“I’ve ordered the housekeepers to prepare the ingredients before leaving. I’ll cook dinner once I get home!” Edwin informed him. Benjamin nodded and glanced at the six children. “We’ll have an early dinner this evening. They’re famished.”
“All right, Mr. Graham. I’ll see to it right now!” Edwin, who had just taken a seat, stood up, bade Mary and Arissa farewell, and went home to prepare dinner.
Jesse grabbed a bun and passed it to Edwin. “Here’s a bun for you, Mr. Whitley.”
That put a smile on Edwin’s face. He stroked the little girl’s head and said, “Thank you, em…Jesse!”
Edwin swallowed his words and almost bit his tongue when he noticed Benjamin was standing next to him.
Shaun chuckled and asked, “Do you want to go home with Mr. Whitley?”
Jesse shook her head and ran to her brothers. “We’ll go home with Mommy later!”
Edwin looked at the six children one last time before leaving.
Benjamin narrowed his eyes. Why did he hesitate when he called Jesse’s name?
“Come here, Jesse!” he called the girl over.
Jesse lifted her head and gave Benjamin a sheepish look. “Yes, Mr. Graham? How can I help you?”
Zachary, too, put his guard up and looked at the man. So did Oliver and Jasper. Did Daddy notice something is amiss?
