Chapter 303 You Cannot Eat This
Letting out a snort, Benjamin looked at the quintuplets.
If they aren’t brave, they wouldn’t have dared challenge me.
As his gaze swept across the children, it finally landed on Arissa.
Sensing his attention, Arissa turned and gave him an innocent look.
“Mr. Graham, what are you looking at me for?”
Your dip has already been changed. So, what else do you want?
Recovering his gaze, Benjamin continued eating. After all, he wasn’t able to pick on her given that Darius was present.
Meanwhile, when Benjamin saw the children eating something reddish, he grew curious.
Reaching out to try some, his spoon was suddenly seized from him.
When he turned to look, he saw Arissa knitting her brows in a domineering manner.
Unfazed by his gaze, she asserted, “You can’t have this!”
She then took a spoonful for herself.
At the same time, Darius and Kingsley looked on, humored by what had transpired.
Even the children were staring at Benjamin.
Other than Darius, everyone else knew why Arissa had stopped Benjamin from trying that particular dish.
“Why can’t I have some when you can?”
Benjamin glared at Arissa curiously.
She returned his gaze. “This is spicy. Do you think you can take it?”
Benjamin furrowed his brows. Didn’t I tell her not to make anything spicy?
Cognizant of what was going through his mind, Arissa explained softly, “Gavin wants to have it. Hence, I made it for him.”
Benjamin turned to look at his son, who was engrossed in his food. With his lips swollen red, Gavin complained about the spiciness while praising how delicious the food was.
“Gavin, don’t overeat,” Benjamin reminded his son.
Left without a choice, he took some other dishes instead.
Glancing at Benjamin, Gavin suddenly smiled with his eyes. “The spicy lasagna is delicious!”
He even licked his lips after that, rendering Benjamin speechless.
When they saw the exchange, Darius and Kingsley couldn’t resist laughing.
Darius nodded. “Mmm-hmm, it’s indeed delicious. Just that it’s a little too spicy.”
Arissa smiled. “It’s only good when it’s spicy!”
Or else, it wouldn’t be called spicy lasagna.
“I enjoy it too, Mrs. Graham. The spiciness is simply invigorating.”
Kingsley gave Arissa a thumbs up. The lasagna was so delicious that he too had a few portions.
“Thank you!” Arissa answered with a smile.
“Mommy, the steamed egg you prepared is delicious too!” Jesse exclaimed as she wiped the stains off her face.
When Darius saw how adorable the children were, he couldn’t help serving them more food.
“Have some more.”
Zachary, Oliver, and Jasper expressed their gratitude, “Thank you, Grandpa!”
“Gavin, you should eat more of the other dishes and not just the lasagna, as it’s really spicy,” Darius reminded as he was worried Gavin couldn’t take it.
“I know, Grandpa.” Gavin nodded in acknowledgment before serving Darius some food.
“Grandpa, try this!”
“Wow!” Darius couldn’t contain his delight.
One by one, the other four children took turns serving Darius.
“Grandpa, enjoy!”
“Very well, let’s eat together!” Darius was filled with joy.
When Arissa saw how filial the children were to Darius, she broke into a smile.
Previously, she was worried that the elders of the Graham family wouldn’t like them. But after seeing how much Darius loved the children, all her concerns were allayed.
“The food is simply outstanding. In fact, I have never eaten anything this delicious before outside.”
After finishing his food, Kingsley handed Edwin his empty plate. “Edwin, please get me seconds.”
With a smile on his face, Edwin did as he was told.
Arissa looked at Kingsley and joked, “Aren’t you being dramatic? There are so many chefs outside that can cook better than me.”
Kingsley shook his head. “Usually, their food would either be too bland or overseasoned.”
After Edwin refilled Kingsley’s plate with pasta, he hurried into the kitchen to make more.
When everyone exchanged glances over Edwin’s action, Arissa felt embarrassed, as she wondered if she had underestimated the portions.
