The More the Merrier novel Chapter 658

Chapter 658 Bitten By Benjamin

Jack was touched. He looked at Arissa and said, “You’re so nice, Mrs. Graham!”

Arissa blushed when she heard those words.

Benjamin stared at her and snorted softly. “You’re quite adept at standing up for others, aren’t you?”

Arissa’s eyes flickered, and she ignored Benjamin’s sarcastic tone. “He was just messing around with the kids, no? You’re wrong for throwing a tantrum.”

Jack became worried for Arissa when he saw Benjamin’s warning look.

“Sit down, Jack!” Edwin uttered. Mr. Graham is only going to get even more pissed if Jack keeps standing there.

Benjamin turned toward Edwin and stared at him intently. “You’re not getting paid this month!”

“Yes, Sir!” Edwin retreated to the side and kept silent.

Arissa was frustrated by Benjamin’s domineering attitude.

Although most of the people there were aware of Benjamin’s temper, Mary and Tim weren’t.

That was why they felt uneasy when they saw Benjamin throwing a tantrum.

Instantly, the mood in the dining room became awkward.

When Arissa saw how uncomfortable Mary looked, she reached out her hand to tug at Benjamin’s pants under the table before shooting him a pointed look.

She then reminded him softly, “Don’t throw a tantrum when everyone’s eating. Do you see that? They’re now too scared to eat.”

Benjamin glanced at her and saw how passive and coquettish she looked.

When he eventually saw her hand on his pants, his mood lightened up almost instantly.

“Please carry on, Grandaunt!” Benjamin uttered respectfully and shot Edwin a look, hinting him to get food for Mary.

“Okay. You too!” Mary nodded and said nothing more.

Benjamin then glanced at Tim. “Tim, just take whatever you want to eat, okay? If you can’t reach them, get the others to help you!”

“Thank you, Mr. Graham!” Tim answered politely.

After that, Benjamin’s gaze shifted toward Jack.

Arissa was afraid that the tension would rise again, so she quickly coaxed, “Benjamin, let Jack join us, okay? We have plenty of food!”
