Chapter 875 Did You Threaten Mommy
Embarrassment washed over Arissa. “Oh, it was an accident.” “Mommy, did a certain someone bite you?”
The little guy grinned mischievously while eyeing Benjamin suspiciously. Arissa blushed so hard that even her ears were red. “That is not the case at all. I accidentally bit myself, and kids shouldn’t talk in that tone.”
She pinched the boy’s chubby cheek while smiling. “What? She already made it clear that I didn’t hurt her, so why is everyone still glaring at me?”
Benjamin was exasperated while facing the kids.
Gavin harrumphed loudly and in dissatisfaction.
“Who knows? Maybe you threatened Mommy, and that’s why she’s saying all that.”
Benjamin’s lips twitched uncontrollably.
Arissa chuckled before she got all six kids back to their table.
Benjamin followed closely behind them and said, “We should eat up before everything gets cold.”
“If you know that, then why did you trap Mommy in the restroom with you? Doesn’t it stink in there?” retorted Zachary.
Benjamin arched his brows. He hadn’t noticed it earlier, but now that the kid had mentioned it, he realized that the place really did stink a little.
When did Drawbridge Dining’s maintenance become so terrible?
When Benjamin and Arissa returned to their seats, everyone stared at them while grinning meaningfully.
“That was fast,” teased Kingsley mercilessly and without any regard for his safety.
Glaring at him, Benjamin warned, “Shut up and eat!”
Both Jonathan and Shaun snickered. Their gaze kept shifting between Benjamin and Arissa.
Despite feeling embarrassed, Arissa got the kids in their seats and helped get them food.
“Have the others gone home?”
“Yeah. Forget about them. We’ll enjoy the meal ourselves.”
Kingsley felt a little bad about it. “Arissa, did Rosetta say anything to you? Don’t believe a word she said, okay? That woman is evil and is always playing an angle. You should talk to Boss about everything to make sure that you’re both on the same page. D*mn it! If I had known that she’d show up and cause trouble, I’d never have invited Aaron in the first place.”
“This is not on you,” replied Arissa while grinning.
Kingsley was touched. “Thank you, Arissa. You’re the best!”
Lifting his glass, he aimed it at her in a toast.
“You’re too kind,” replied Arissa. She picked up her glass of juice and took a sip.
“Hey, Boss, didn’t you say that you’d drink in Arissa’s place?”
Kingsley glanced sideways as he teased Benjamin.
The latter picked up his glass and downed the drink without saying another word.
That prompted Kingsley to laugh aloud and compliment, “Now that is cool!”
Jonathan was quick to toast Arissa, too.
Once again, Benjamin drank in Arissa’s place.
Shaun followed suit, and Benjamin had no choice but to drink again.
Arissa could tell that everyone was deliberately ganging up on Benjamin.
“Mrs. Graham, I’d like to drink with you too,” said Ethen while grinning at Arissa.
“Okay,” replied Arissa with a smile. She drank her juice in response.
“Yo, Boss, why aren’t you drinking the wine Ethen offered? That’s discrimination, and it’ll break his heart, you know?”
Kingsley was determined to mess with Benjamin.
Ethen glanced at Benjamin. The former was too scared to force his boss to drink, but extending an invitation to drink together was fine.
“Mr. Graham, here’s to you and Mrs. Graham living happily ever after,” uttered Ethen.
Benjamin murmured a reply before downing his drink.
“We really should learn from Ethen. Notice how kind his words are even when he’s trying to get Benjamin drunk?” teased Jonathan.
Everyone laughed in response.
Not to be left out, Jack swiftly joined in after everyone had gotten Benjamin to drink. He toasted Arissa, then Benjamin. By that point, Jack was already a little drunk, his cheeks flushed.
Kingsley and the others were getting a little drunk as well. Ironically, Benjamin was the only one who appeared fine.
“Come on, you all shouldn’t focus only on drinking. Enjoy the food too,” said Arissa.
She got Benjamin some food, then grabbed some for the kids as well.
“I’m so jealous. What a kind and sweet wife! Benjamin, what’s it like to have your wife feed you?” teased Kingsley.
Shaun chimed in, “I bet he’s all warm and fuzzy inside.”
Jonathan laughed aloud and joined in the fun. “How I wish someone would feed me, too.”
Gavin got Jonathan some chicken. “Oh, here you go, Mr. Patterson.”
