Chapter 951 Romantic Gesture
The six children were busy gazing out at the stunning night view in the distance, so none of them noticed Arissa and Benjamin kissing. Boom! Boom! All of a sudden, fireworks lit up the sky from afar, emitting dazzling lights.
“Wow!” “How beautiful!” “Quick, look, Mommy! There are fireworks!” The sextuplets snapped their heads back to Arissa, but their eyes promptly rounded in unison.
Daddy and Mommy are kissing! Before Benjamin could let go of her, Arissa had hastily pushed him away, embarrassed beyond words.
Ugh! The kids caught us red-handed, yet he still carried on nonchalantly! Her face flushed bright red. She shot a glare at the man, and when she met the children’s curious and mirthful gazes, even greater embarrassment deluged her.
She turned their heads around. “Watch the fireworks. Enjoy them, or you won’t be able to see them anymore in a while!”
At that, the children giggled. Jasper commented, “Haha, Mommy is shy!”
Oliver seconded, “Yeah, Mommy’s face is all red.” Tim merely chortled. Zachary, on the other hand, said, “They were actually kissing secretly!”
Finally, Jesse asked, “Mommy, was it you who kissed Mr. Graham or the other way round?”
Gavin glanced at Benjamin, the corners of his mouth twitching when his eyes met his father’s calm gaze.
Daddy has got really thick skin. Mommy is already blushing, but he’s still unfazed. Arissa’s face flushed. She composed herself before looking out at the fireworks in the distance.
Casting a glance at the tip of her ears, which were bright red, Benjamin chuckled. He leaned close to her. “How do you like the fireworks?”
His deep voice and warm breath brushed across her ear, making it tingle.
It was so melodious that her heart also skipped several beats. Arissa looked back over her shoulder at the man. “You lighted them?”
Benjamin stared at her fixedly and shook his head. “No.”
“I see,” Arissa replied lowly. Why is he asking me that when it wasn’t him who lit the fireworks?
“Ethen and the others lighted them.” Wrapping an arm around her waist, Benjamin rested his chin on the top of her head.
Arissa’s heartbeat sped up. Beaming widely in surprise, she lightly leaned back to bump his chest. “Why did you deny it earlier, then?”
“You asked whether I lighted them.” With a solemn expression on his face, Benjamin picked fault with her choice of words.
That had the corners of Arissa’s mouth twitch. Anyhow, she was still elated by the man’s romantic gesture.
“Wow, they’re so dazzling! Oh, there’s more!” the children cheered in high spirits. Arissa and Benjamin gazed at them affectionately, their lips curving upward.
By the time they alighted from the Ferris wheel, Benjamin was cradling Jesse in his arms. She was worn out from playing, so she was a tad sleepy.
Arissa led the other five children out of the amusement park. “Are you all hungry?” she asked, looking down at the children. Tim and Oliver were a bit sleepy.
Conversely, Gavin, Zachary, and Jasper were still as energetic as ever. “Yes!” they hurriedly exclaimed. “What do you want to eat?” Arissa asked with a smile.
“Let’s go for barbecue, Mommy!” Jasper suggested. Arissa arched a brow. “That will take quite some time. Let’s have something else instead.”
Jasper muttered, “Why did you ask us what we wanted to eat, then? You should’ve just decided by yourself!”
In response, Arissa chuckled. Then, she asked the other children, “How about ham sausage, oxtail soup, and meatballs?”
Tim started salivating. “Okay!” Gavin nodded, curious as he had never tried oxtail soup before.
“I second that!” Zachary agreed as well. Even then, he could already smell the fragrance of it in the air.
“Oxtail soup? Quick, let’s go, Mommy! Where is it?” Oliver swallowed, no longer sleepy after hearing them discuss having oxtail soup.
The sight of the children salivating made Arissa giggle. “I think it’s right ahead. Quick, let’s go!”
Benjamin was cradling Jesse, and the latter was almost asleep by then. But when she heard the mention of food, she forced her eyes open, only for them to droop the next moment. It made for an amusing sight.
“Sleep first if you’re drowsy,” Benjamin coaxed, patting her lightly on the back. Arissa threw Benjamin a questioning look. “Are you fine with oxtail soup?”
