The More the Merrier novel Chapter 120

Chapter 120 Thank You For The Hearty Meal

Gavin was amused.

“Daddy, don’t you think Mommy’s made a wonderful breakfast?”

A sharp look fleeted across Benjamin’s eyes as he met his son’s bright gaze.

With a faint nod, he answered, “It’s not bad.”

“What do you even mean by that?”

Arissa glowered at Benjamin, for she took pride in her culinary skills.

“I know it’s delicious! Could it be that you just can’t stomach peasant food, Mr. Graham?”

Benjamin studied her broodingly.

“Can you seriously call this fried egg delicious?” he quipped, glancing at the burnt egg on his plate.

For a moment, Arissa seemed stunned.

“I got lost in thought, so I wasn’t paying attention. This is a mishap. It doesn’t mean I don’t know how to fry an egg. You will know I speak the truth after tasting it!”

She picked up her fork and reached for a fried egg, which she offered to Benjamin. Then, she placed another two onto Gavin’s plate, leaving the burnt one for herself.

Benjamin glared at her, still frowning. “Why would you even want to eat the burnt one?”

Arissa looked at him before picking out the burnt part of the egg with her fork.

“It’s still edible.”

With that, she took a bite, enjoying her egg along with the oatmeal porridge she made.

“You can have mine, Mommy!”

Gavin offered Arissa one of the eggs on his plate.

“You can have it. I will get something else to eat.”

Arissa smiled at Gavin before putting more food onto his plate.

“Eat up, Sweetheart!”

When she sensed Benjamin gazing at her, she turned her head to meet his dark eyes. Her heart sank.

“You sure know how to put up an act,” Benjamin commented impassively.

Arissa, who quickly caught on to his implication, was momentarily stunned.

I’m not pretending to be Gavin’s mother. I am his mother.

“I’m only trying to cheer him up. Isn’t that the most important thing? Am I wrong, Mr. Graham?”
