Chapter 338 Peeling Prawns For Mommy

Arissa settled the kids down first before taking her seat at the dining table. Benjamin sat down next to her.

Darius took a look at the couple and smiled.

Kingsley and Shaun looked at the two of them as well and exchanged knowing smiles.

“We’re starving just because we had to wait for you guys.”

“Do you have nothing else to do?” Benjamin glanced at the two men expressionlessly.

Kingsley and Shaun merely smiled in response.

“Mrs. Graham, are you feeling better now?” Shaun glanced at Arissa and asked.

“Much better.” Arissa nodded.

“Why? What happened to you, Issa?” Darius noticed something amiss and asked Arissa in concern.

Feeling somewhat embarrassed, Arissa replied, “I scalded my tongue when I was drinking coffee this morning, but I’m fine now!”

“You should take care of yourself more,” Darius reminded before asking for the dishes to be served.

“Mommy, let me take a look at your tongue!” Gavin said, turning toward his mother.

Arissa chuckled and patted her son’s head before answering, “I’m fine now.”

She felt awkward acceding to her son’s request with so many people around.

While Gavin continued to fix his gaze on Arissa, Zachary, Oliver, Jasper, and Jesse looked over as well. “Mommy, are you really okay now?” they asked.

Arissa nodded and said, “Yes I am. Anyway, let’s eat!”

While the five kids were taking turns putting food onto their mother’s plate, they suddenly remembered Darius and started putting food onto their grandpa’s plate as well.

Darius was beaming from ear to ear as he watched his grandchildren serve him.

“Thank you, Sweethearts!”

“You’re welcome!” the children replied in unison.

“Jesse, come over to Grandpa!” Darius said to the little girl, who was the apple of his eye.

Jesse glanced toward Arissa and only went to Darius after receiving an encouraging nod from her mother.

“Here, Jesse, you’ll sit right next to Grandpa!”

Darius lifted the girl onto his lap and started placing food onto her plate.

“Mr. Graham, why don’t you let her sit on her own?” Arissa said to Darius, worried that he was spoiling Jesse.
