Chapter 922 Where Is Your Ring
Benjamin stole a peek at Arissa, only to be amused at her sheer apprehension. “Not bad.” Arissa glanced at him. “Don’t force yourself if you’re not used to the taste.”
Sweeping his gaze over her, Benjamin took the soup in front of her away and continued eating. “You’re having Mommy’s soup, Mr. Graham,” Jesse muttered under her breath even as she sneaked a look at the man.
“You stole my mommy’s soup, Mr. Graham!” Jasper reproached with a snort. Benjamin scanned his eyes over the children. “Eat quietly!” The children stuck their tongues out before lowering their heads and continuing to eat their soup.
Seeing that he didn’t mind having her soup, Arissa snagged a bowl and took another serving for herself. She then started having it as well.
“If you’re not used to eating the offal and tripe inside, Daddy, you can give them to Tim!” Gavin said to Benjamin. Benjamin pinned his gaze on Tim. “You like eating those things, Tim?”
In response, Tim flashed him a smile. “Yup! But you don’t need to give them to me, Mr. Graham. I’ve still got a lot.”
With his lips curving upward a fraction, Benjamin picked the offal and tripes out of the soup. He gave all six children some.
“Hehe, thank you, Mr. Graham!”
Jasper grinned widely. He then continued, “Is there more?”
Stirring the soup, Benjamin took a piece of offal out. “Here!”
Jasper swiftly held his bowl out. Without warning, Benjamin pulled his hand back. “Call me Daddy!”
Jasper stared at him, his eyes darting all around before he harrumphed.
“You want to dupe me into calling you Daddy with just a piece of offal? Forget it!”
Benjamin quirked his brow slightly, contented with that address of “Daddy.”
In the end, he still gave Jasper the piece of offal.
Watching the interaction between them, Arissa told the children, “There’s still more in the pot. I’ll take more for you all when you’ve finished eating.”
“Okay!” The children all beamed in jubilance.
Jesse and Jasper ate the fastest.
Getting to her feet, Arissa took their bowls and scooped another serving for them. Next, it was Oliver, Tim, Zachary, and Gavin.
“Eat some with us, Edwin!” Arissa urged when she saw Edwin coming out with more food.
However, Edwin merely chuckled. “You all go ahead first, Mrs. Graham. I’ll eat in a while.”
“This soup is pretty good. I’ll take a bowl for you,” Arissa declared smilingly.
Snagging a bowl, she took some for Edwin.
“Don’t give me so much, Mrs. Graham!”
Verily, Edwin was flattered beyond words.
“There’s some more!”
