The More the Merrier novel Chapter 650

Chapter 650 I Would Not Say No

Arissa sat back down. “Thank you, Edwin.”

“You’re welcome,” he responded warmly.

Turning to Mary with a smile, Arissa placed some food onto the woman’s plate. “Have some of this, Grandaunt.”

“Ah, okay. I’ll have some soup first,” Mary replied hurriedly.

“Have some of both,” Arissa said as she piled more food onto the children’s plates.

“Eat slowly. Don’t scarf down the food!”

Too engrossed in eating, the other kids merely murmured a response and nodded.

However, Tim looked up and answered, “Okay, Ms. York.”

Gazing at him lovingly, Arissa murmured a response before continuing to eat.

“These dishes are absolutely delicious! Edwin, did you prepare all of this?” Arissa asked when she saw the butler walking over.

“Yes. I had the help of two cooks as well.”

Worried that he would not be able to cope with preparing so much food, Edwin enlisted the help of two cooks.

“It must’ve been a lot of work,” Arissa remarked as she took the pasta from him with both hands.

“As long as they’re to your liking, it’s all worth it,” Edwin responded with a grin.

Then, he went to get Mary some pasta and refill her plate while directing the help to serve pasta to Kingsley and the others.

Benjamin had peeled a bowlful of prawns, and after passing some to Arissa, he told Edwin to distribute the remainder among the children.

“Thank you, Daddy!”

“Thank you, Mr. Graham!”

A smile appeared on Edwin’s face when he heard their different ways of addressing Benjamin.

“Thank you,” Arissa muttered as she shot Benjamin a glance, sharing some of the peeled prawns with Mary.

However, Mary covered her plate, saying, “Oh, that’s enough for me. I can’t eat that much. You should have more, Issa.”

“We can share them. There’s still plenty left,” Arissa answered smilingly.

Seeing that, Kingsley could not help saying in jest, “Arissa, I wouldn’t say no if you were to give some to me.”

Arissa glanced at him in amusement.

“If I were to give some to you, I’d have to share them with Dr. Bailey and Mr. Frank too. There isn’t enough to go around, so you’d better peel them yourselves. There’s still a lot left.”

Benjamin had shot Kingsley a warning look, but his expression relaxed a little after hearing Arissa’s response.
