Chapter 909 Benjamin Helps Her Cut The Steak
The table was covered with a white tablecloth and had a vase in the middle with a beautiful rose in it. There were also balloons and flowers all over the surrounding area.
Arissa was completely frozen in awe and shock. It was obvious that she really liked what she saw. “Let’s go have a seat, shall we?” Benjamin said.
“Come on, Mommy!” the six kids called out to them. “Did you guys plan this surprise together?” Arissa asked with a smile as she walked alongside him. Benjamin whispered affectionately, “Do you like it?”
Arissa nodded at him with a sweet smile on her face. While she was distracted, Benjamin leaned in close and gave her a quick kiss on the cheek. Arissa tensed up and burned bright red on the spot.
Fortunately for her, none of the kids saw that. “Come here, kids!” Benjamin called out to them as he pulled the chair and sat her down. The table was just large enough to fit three of them on each side.
“Wow! This is so romantic! We’re going on a date with Mommy and Mr. Graham!” they exclaimed excitedly. “All right, behave yourselves!” Arissa said with a smile.
Benjamin then sat down in front of Arissa and motioned to the butler to serve up the food. Having received the signal, Edwin quickly came over while a few other housekeepers followed behind him.
They were all holding a dish in their hands and looked just like professional waiters at a fancy restaurant. Arissa couldn’t help but smile as she watched them serve the food.
Well, I must say, this is quite an interesting way to have dinner! “Enjoy your meal, Mrs. Graham!” Edwin said as he placed the steak down in front of her.
Arissa nodded happily. “Thanks, Edwin!” Edwin simply returned the smile as he handed Benjamin his steak. “Enjoy your meal, Mr. Graham!”
After that, Edwin took the plates of steak from the housekeepers and handed them out to the kids. “You kids enjoy your meal too!”
“Thank you, Mr. Whitley!” the kids replied in unison.
Edwin then poured both Benjamin and Arissa a glass of wine each before serving the kids some juice.
Not wanting to disturb them during dinner, Edwin quickly stepped aside after that.
“Dig in!” Benjamin said as he began cutting up the steak on his plate.
Arissa nodded. “Okay! Dig in, kids!”
While the kids were happily cutting away their steaks, Tim was just staring cluelessly at them.
He had never eaten steak before, so he didn’t know how to go about it.
Noticing his reaction, Benjamin decided to show him the way.
“Tim, you need to pin the steak down with the fork first. After that, you hold the knife like this and cut the steak.”
“Go ahead and apply a bit more pressure on the knife, Tim,” Arissa said.
“Okay!” Tim blushed a little as he continued to cut at the steak.
After a few failed attempts, Tim was finally able to cut the steak perfectly.
“Well done, Tim!” Arissa complimented him.
Tim felt a little shy from the attention he was receiving.
“You’re doing great, Tim! Jesse still doesn’t know how to use a knife!” Zachary said while getting him to look at Jesse, who had been struggling really hard but still couldn’t cut a chunk off her steak.
“Here, I’ll help you.” Arissa quickly took the knife and cut it for her.
“Thanks, Mommy!” Jesse said as she propped her chin up with both hands and watched from the side.
A few minutes later, Arissa handed her a plate of steak that had been cut into lots of tiny chunks.
As Benjamin glanced at the kids, he noticed that the other four were cutting their steaks just fine.
He then cut up his portion and handed it to Arissa.
“Let me have yours instead.”
Arissa looked him in the eye as she took his plate over and handed him hers.
“Thanks, Mr. Graham!”
