The More the Merrier novel Chapter 86

Chapter 86 Free Meal

Arissa ruffled his hair lovingly and asked gently, “Didn’t you say that you were at school?”

It was not a coincidence as they had just spoken to each other over the phone less than ten minutes ago.

A devious look flashed in Gavin’s eyes. “Hehe… I wanted to surprise you!” he said softly.

Upon hearing that, Arissa laughed and gave him a hug. She was indeed surprised.

“I don’t think you’ve had your meal yet. Do you want to go grab a bite with me?”

She was completely ignoring the two men behind her.

Benjamin fell into a thoughtful silence as he watched her behave like Gavin’s mother.

When Gavin had called her mommy earlier, she did not correct him. That night… Was it really her?

Kingsley coughed loudly to draw their attention back to him.

Everyone immediately stood up and greeted the two men respectfully. “Mr. Graham, Mr. Watts, hello!”

Kingsley chuckled. “May I join?”

There was no way they could reject him, so they promptly asked the waiter to get an additional chair for the table. “Of course! Come take a seat, Mr. Watts.”

At the same time, everyone was staring at Benjamin, unsure if he wanted to join in as well.

His gaze was on Arissa. She felt a little intimidated and stood. With a faint smile on her face, she greeted, “Hello, Mr. Graham and Mr. Watts. Are you here for a meal as well?”

“Get Gavin over here,” said Benjamin coldly as he settled into the seat next to hers.

His sudden demand made Arissa freeze.

Kingsley was all smiles as he sat down as well, and everyone moved to make space for him.

Now that they were here, the atmosphere had become awkward.

Arissa eyed the two of them. Are they here for a free meal?

She called for a waiter to bring another set of cutlery and sat down with Gavin.

“Ms. York, how was work today?”

Gavin blinked his eyes at Arissa. He felt overjoyed as he could finally be with his mother without needing to hide anything.
