Chapter 955 Fighting the Children for Affection
Since Benjamin liked oxtail soup, Arissa fed him more. “I told you it was delicious, but you didn’t believe me. Don’t you find it irresistible now?” she teased, her bright eyes pinned on the man.
Benjamin’s eyes flickered. Indeed, it smells nice. “Give me another spoonful.”
The boys watched as their father enjoy the oxtail soup. “Mommy, don’t just feed Daddy! We want to eat, too!”
Arissa turned to feed them, but the man grabbed her hand that was holding the spoon. “I’m not full yet.”
That promptly rendered Arissa speechless. Benjamin glanced at the children and said in a deep voice, “Take another serving and eat it by yourselves.”
Arissa regarded him with a smirk on her face, yet he remained unfazed without showing the slightest hint of embarrassment. Gavin snorted. “How shameless!”
Benjamin’s expression darkened. “Do you still need Mommy to feed you when you’re already an adult, Mr. Graham?”
Zachary shot him a disdainful look. With all the shamelessness in the world, Benjamin retorted, “My hands are occupied.”
Nudging the glasses on his face, Oliver scoffed, “Don’t you have a hand around Mommy’s hand? How is it occupied?”
“Exactly! Do you think we’re blind?” Jasper seconded, bobbing his head. Arissa laughed so much that her shoulders jerked violently.
Tim glanced at Benjamin. Although he didn’t criticize the latter, the look in his eyes was no different from that of his brothers.
Benjamin frowned at Arissa. “Are you going to feed me?”
A crimson shade stained Arissa’s cheeks. “I’ll feed everyone, okay?”
She gave him a spoonful of oxtail soup before swiftly feeding the children next. “You eat, too, Mommy! We’ll eat by ourselves, unlike someone who needs others to feed him like a baby!”
Zachary harrumphed, his words hinting at something. Everyone knew he was referring to Benjamin.
Arissa grinned so widely that her face went stiff. Benjamin turned his gaze to the children, only to see Zachary holding a serving of oxtail soup.
All five boys ate together with spoons, enjoying the food.
His gaze grew tender. Hearing some noise from beside him, he looked over and stared at the woman eating by herself.
Arissa flashed him a sheepish smile and quickly fed him a spoonful of soup.
“Have some, Graham!”
Benjamin opened his mouth and ate it.
“You love eating this?”
“Yes! But I could only afford to buy a small serving back then. On my way back from school, the aroma of oxtail soup was truly tempting!”
Benjamin’s heart ached when he took in the smile on her face.
“I’ll buy it for you whenever you want to eat it in the future.”
Arissa’s eyes lit up, and sheer delight showed on her face. “Thank you!”
“Hmm?” Benjamin’s gaze darkened, seemingly hinting at something.
Arissa studied him, not quite sure what he wanted. A moment later, she amended, “Thank you, Darling!”
Her voice was soft, making it sound as though she was acting coy with him. Benjamin was very much satisfied by that.
“You’re welcome.”
Arissa rolled her eyes at his arrogant and imperious expression.
The children ate by themselves and didn’t need her to take care of them. The couple ended up eating a serving, taking a bite each.
Just then, the bodyguards returned with oxtail soup to go. After that, Benjamin ordered them to drive.
“They bought a lot, Mommy!”
Looking at the takeaway containers in the few bodyguards’ hands that added up to a dozen servings, all five boys were stunned.
That sight likewise took Arissa aback.
“There’s so much!”
“A few servings are for us to continue eating at home while the rest are theirs,” Benjamin said.
“Oh, I see.”
Arissa bobbed her head in understanding.
Having satisfied her craving earlier, she turned and said to the children, “We’ll eat again when we arrive home.”
“Yay!”
“Let’s wake Jesse to eat together when we arrive home, Mommy,” Tim murmured.
