Chapter 337 Benjamin Was Not Invited To Dinner
“Okay. See you later, Sweetheart!”
After Arissa hung up, she could feel Benjamin staring at her.
She turned around and stared back at him, asking, “Why are you looking at me?”
Benjamin felt slightly frustrated when he saw that the smile that Arissa had on her face earlier on had completely disappeared.
He could not understand why the woman was so gentle when she interacted with the kids but was stingy with her affection when she was facing him.
“Is Dad treating you to dinner?” Benjamin asked, cocking his brows.
Arissa nodded and replied, “That’s what Gavin said.”
Benjamin’s eyes gleamed when he heard that, wondering why he was not invited to dinner as well.
How could my own father do that to me? Am I really his son?
At the same time, he also thought about his own son, who no longer felt like his son, as the boy was much closer to Arissa than him currently.
Benjamin’s face fell slightly at the thought of that.
Arissa took a glance at his handsome face that was visibly tensed and explained in a soft voice, “Maybe Mr. Graham didn’t ask you because he thought that you were busy.”
Benjamin turned toward her and replied, “You don’t have to comfort me. Do you really think I’ll be upset over just a meal?”
Arissa gulped when she heard that.
If you’re not upset, why are you following me then?
On the way to the restaurant, the couple did not speak to each other.
When they reached the dinner venue, the five children were in the midst of playing with Darius, Kingsley, and Shaun in the private room.
Laughter filled the entire room.
When the kids saw Arissa, they ran over to her at once.
“Mommy, you’re here!” they exclaimed, jumping into their mother’s arms, hugging her.
Arissa stumbled a little when she tried to take all five of them into her embrace.
Noticing that, Benjamin quickly put his arms around her waist to steady her, preventing her from falling.
“Mommy, we’ve waited so long for you to reach!”
Arissa smiled and tousled the children’s hair affectionately.
“Didn’t you say dinner start at six?”
The kids nodded and replied, “Even though it’s at six, you can still come earlier!”
Arissa replied with a chuckle, “I was worried that you guys won’t be here yet if I arrive too early!”
