Arissa immediately blushed when she heard Kingsley's teasing words.
At the same time, the kids were all also staring at her curiously.
Sensing the attention on her, Arissa's face turned even redder.
“Get lost if you can't keep your mouth shut!” Benjamin scolded Kingsley.
Although Kingsley swiftly zipped his lips, he was still looking at Benjamin suggestively.
Benjamin narrowed his eyes and glared at him in response.
Seeing that, Kingsley instantly retracted his gaze sheepishly and looked elsewhere.
Shaun was smiling as well when he swept a glance at Benjamin and Arissa.
Right then, Mary uttered in a concerned tone, “Issa, eat slowly, okay? Don't burn yourself!”
“Okay. I know, Grandaunt!” Arissa was less embarrassed when she saw how concerned Mary was about her.
The kids were blinking in bewilderment as they stared at Arissa. Did Daddy really bite Mommy?
Gavin knitted his brows and glared at Benjamin.
At the same time, Zachary was also glaring at Benjamin. If Daddy really did that, he has gone over the line!
Jack, on the other hand, didn't dare to get curious at all. He just kept his head lowered and ate his dinner.
“What are you looking at? Eat up!” Benjamin uttered in a deep voice when he noticed the angry glares from the kids.
The kids snorted in response before getting on with their dinner.
Arissa was delighted when she saw the kids do that. Even the kids are angry at Benjamin's shameless act!
Benjamin then took a bowl and filled it up with food before placing it in front of Arissa. “Eat these. They're not as hot!”
Arissa glanced at Benjamin and saw him looking calm and collected.
Benjamin shot her a look and uttered domineeringly, “What are you looking at me for? Hurry up and eat!”
At that, the corners of Arissa's mouth twitched.
The rest of them merely looked on in amusement, though none of them dared to utter another word.
The men, in particular, were aware that Benjamin was going to get angry if they were to speak again. He's really going to chase us out in the middle of dinner!
Hence, they all focused on eating as much as they could and kept mum.
The kids wisely remained silent as well. However, some of them would sneak a glare at Benjamin from time to time.
Arissa's embarrassment faded when she saw everyone eating quietly. Finally, I can eat in peace!
Before she could finish her food, Benjamin would fill her plate up again.
In response, she accepted his gesture willingly. I'll just treat it as him making it up to me. Since he's so attentive, I guess he's feeling remorseful.
With those thoughts in her mind, her mood lightened up, and she started eating happily.
Benjamin noticed how much she was enjoying dinner. The way her cheeks bulged with food made her look like a squirrel. Her lips were also glistening with oil from the food.
His gaze darkened at the sight, and he reached out to wipe her mouth for her affectionately.
When his hand came in contact with her lips, Arissa trembled and leaned backward. At that moment, she started blushing once again.
She breathed a sigh of relief when she saw no one had noticed it because they were all busy eating.
Benjamin's eyes glimmered when he saw how shy and innocent she looked when she blushed.
However, Arissa didn't notice the tenderness in his eyes.
Unlike Arissa, Edwin saw it, and he was delighted. The relationship between Mr. Graham and Ms. York is getting better!
An hour later, everyone was done with dinner, but Arissa wasn't.
“Take your time, okay, Mrs. Graham? We understand your circumstances. We'll go to the living room for coffee!” Kingsley smiled and said.
Shaun was also smiling when he pushed Mary toward the living room. “Mrs. Graham, I'll bring Mdm. Mary for a walk, okay? Carry on!”
“Mrs. Graham, enjoy your dinner! I'm going for a walk as well!”
“Mommy, enjoy your dinner. We'll keep Great-grandaunt company!” the kids uttered before following Kingsley to the living room.
“You may leave now. Keep an eye on Gavin and the others!” Benjamin turned and ordered Edwin.
With a smile on his face, Edwin answered, “Yes, Mr. Graham!”
Edwin quickly left after that. Hehe! Mr. Graham wants to spend time alone with Ms. York!
With that, everyone left Benjamin and Arissa alone in the dining room.
She sneaked a peek at Benjamin, but he was looking right back at her. Taken aback, she immediately averted her gaze from him.
