The More the Merrier novel Chapter 424

Chapter 424 A Heavy Atmosphere

Darius laughed and put down his fork.

“Take your time to eat. There’s no hurry. Since Benjamin doesn’t know how to look after you all. In the future, I shall come often to cook good food for you guys.”

Arissa was surprised to hear that.

“Dad, can’t you just let her eat in peace? You’re talking too much.”

Benjamin raised his eyes and glanced at his father with a look of displeasure.

Darius frowned and said in a low voice, “I’m not talking too much. Not everyone behaves like you, you know? With your mouth clammed up and hardly speaking at all.”

Arissa let out a snort. Old Mr. Graham sure knows his son well.

Benjamin swept his gaze to her, only to see her looking away.

The five kids were snickering as well.

Benjamin kept his gaze on Arissa for a while before he continued to eat silently.

Darius shot a glare at his son before serving more food to the five kids and then digging in himself.

Edwin and the help stood behind the children, ready to serve them.

Shaun watched the five children as they ate. Their mannerisms were so cute that he could not take his eyes away.

Just then, Gavin looked up and frowned when he saw Shaun’s engrossed expression.

“Mr. Bailey, why are you staring at us?”

Shaun snapped back to his senses and smirked. “Because you guys are just too adorable!”

The five kids were left speechless.

Darius looked at them lovingly.

Shaun’s right. They are really adorable!

If only we could find the other child… then everything will be perfect.

Concerned about his missing grandchild, Darius turned toward his son to enquire, “Benjamin, is there any news about the kid?”

Benjamin cast a glance at him. “No, not yet.”

The atmosphere in the dining hall seemed to turn heavy.

Instantly, the food in Arissa’s mouth seemed tasteless.

Her heart ached as she looked at the sumptuous dishes in front of her. Here I am eating good food while my son is still out there going through all kinds of suffering God knows where.

The five children were no longer in the mood to eat, their little faces looked dejected and they seemed dispirited. It was a heartbreaking sight to behold

Benjamin narrowed his eyes.

“Arissa.”
