The More the Merrier novel Chapter 283

Chapter 283 Did You Call Me Weak

“You’re done eating?” Arissa, who had just had a bowl of soup, looked at him and asked.

“I’m full!” Benjamin had eaten quite a lot.

“How about another bowl of mushroom soup? It’s good for you since you are weak.”

All of a sudden, the man shot a sullen glare at Arissa.

She wondered why he gave her that look. “What’s with that look? Come, another bowl of soup for you. Eat more! Be a man!”

She took over his bowl and filled it with soup.

Edwin, who was still observing them from a distance, turned around and giggled.

“Be a man? Do you mean I’m not a man?” Benjamin’s expression turned grim. “And did you just call me weak?”

What a humiliating way to doubt a man.

Arissa finally realized why he got mad. She immediately opened her mouth to defend herself. “Come on, don’t be so sensitive. It was just a casual remark. Don’t take it to heart.”

She continued, “I didn’t mean to say you’re weak. You were admitted to the hospital and given an injection, weren’t you? I only want you to drink more soup so that you can boost your system with nutrients, that’s all. It’s up to you if you still want another bowl.”

Arissa noticed the man still had a grim expression on his face. Instead of clarifying what she said earlier, she swallowed the fluid lodged in her throat, lowered her head, and continued with her lunch.

Yum! Edwin is such a good cook. I’ll not let these dishes go to waste!

Benjamin looked away and continued drinking the mushroom soup.

Arissa peeked at him and could not help but chuckle in her heart.

Didn’t he say he is full?

After finishing the bowl of soup, Benjamin said, “Enjoy your lunch!”

He then stood up, left the dining area, and went upstairs.

“Mr. Graham has never eaten so much in his life! He usually eats a small portion, and that’s it,” Edwin said with a grin.

Arissa was surprised to learn that. “Just a small plate?”

He seems to eat more than a plate in front of me though.

“Yeah. Maybe your presence here had whetted his appetite?”

Upon hearing that, Arissa instantly blushed. “Stop teasing me, Edwin.”

“Gavin also eats a lot when he’s with you, right?” Edwin smiled.
