The More the Merrier novel Chapter 1112

Chapter 1112 Morning Sickness

“You've definitely lost some weight. My son has not been doing a good job taking care of you.” As he said that, Darius turned to glare at Benjamin. “Do you not heed my advice? Have you been ignoring all that I've told you? You've not been doing it right! Just look at how skinny Issa has become!”

Words eluded Benjamin when Darius reprimanded him out of nowhere.

He had even thought that Arissa had put on some weight. What does Dad mean by “skinny”?

Upon seeing the dumbfounded look on Benjamin's face, Arissa could not help but giggle before hugging Darius' arm and changing the subject. “What delicacies have you prepared for us, Dad? It smells heavenly. I'm getting hungry just by smelling the food!”

The anticipation on Arissa's face did not escape Darius' notice. He quickly led them into the house. “Let's head to the dining room. I've prepared all of your favorites!”

Arissa was ecstatic. As they walked to the dining room, Arissa asked Darius about his well-being and struck up some small talk.

Benjamin and the children tailed behind them. Despite being ignored by Darius, the children were not disappointed or upset. Instead, they followed behind.

When Arissa and the children saw all the scrumptious food on the table, their eyes lit up. They even cheered in excitement.

“Woah! There is so much delicious food!”

“I like this one! Oh, I like that one too!”

“I like this one. Mommy likes this too.”

“It smells so heavenly. Food from Grandpa's house is always so tasty!”

“Mommy, look! There's so much good food! It's like we're celebrating New Year!”

“There are so many yummy dishes! I wonder if we can finish all of them?”

The children's childish squeals of joy made everyone smile from ear to ear.

“Go wash your hands!” Darius grinned at the children affectionately.

As the children scurried away to the sink, William pulled out the chair at the head of the table for Darius and handed the latter a handkerchief to clean his hand. Arissa quickly took the handkerchief from William and helped Darius clean his hands.

“Please, take a seat, Issa!” Darius had not seen them in so long. He smiled cheerily. His sight had not left Arissa ever since he greeted them at the entrance.

One might mistake Arissa for Darius' biological daughter with the affection he was showing her. Ironically, the old man had ignored his son Benjamin ever since they arrived.

In the meantime, Benjamin followed the children to the sink and watched them wash their hands before bringing them back to the dining room.

“Have a seat!” Darius waved the children over with a huge grin.
