You More Than Anything In The World novel Chapter 665

“Oh, okay...”

Arissa immediately handed the phone to Darius.

The moment Darius took the phone, he began giving out orders in a grim tone.

“Kingsley! Where have you brought the kids! Bring them back now!”

“Mr. Graham...”

Kingsley was dumbfounded to hear Darius' voice over the phone.

“Mr. Graham, I've just brought them out. We haven't even gone anywhere fun yet. I'll bring them back soon!” Snapping out of his shock, Kingsley argued.

Darius' eyebrows knitted together tightly, not pleased by the fact that he had to wait even longer to see his grandchildren. Who knows how long I have to wait!

“Bring them back first! You can take them out some other time! Come back now!”

With that, Darius hung up the phone.

Just then, Arissa brought out a platter of fruits and served it to Darius.

“Have you had your dinner, Old Mr. Graham?”

“Mm-hmm!”

Darius nodded cheerfully. With a polite grin on his face, he told Arissa, “You don't have to accompany me! Go rest. I'll wait for them on my own!”

Arissa merely smiled in response. Naturally, it would not be polite for her to leave her guest on his own.

“Go rest, Ms. York! I'll stay with Mr. Graham.” William chipped in from the side.

“It's alright. It's still early. I've only just finished eating when you guys arrived!” Arissa smiled politely at William.

“Please, take a seat! I'll go see if Benjamin is in the study!”

From the phone call with Kingsley just a moment ago, Arissa assumed that Benjamin did not go out with them.

“You don't have to get him. I'm not here for him anyways. The mere sight of him annoys me!” Darius snorted in anger.

Arissa laughed courteously in response.

“Take a seat, Issa! Have a cup of coffee with me!”

As he spoke, Darius glanced at William, motioning the latter to make coffee.

Taking the hint, William quickly brewed them a pot of coffee.

Without much choice, Arissa sat down and started striking up conversations with Darius.

Nevertheless, she sent a text to Benjamin in secret, informing him that Darius had come to visit.

Within minutes, Benjamin showed up in the living room.

Arissa's eyes lit up at the sight of him.

On the other hand, Darius pursed his lips together in a prideful manner upon seeing Benjamin.

“What are you doing here?” asked Benjamin as he took a seat next to Arissa.

However, the simple question was enough to tick the old man off.

“What is that supposed to mean? Am I not welcomed here?”

Darius glared at Benjamin.

In contrast to Darius' frustrations, Benjamin's expression remained calm.

Seeing that Benjamin could not be bothered, Darius' fury spiked even higher.

“Why did you block my number? Not answering my phone calls is one thing. Who are you to forbid me from seeing my own grandkids?” Darius hollered.

Benjamin merely glanced at Darius calmly.

“Aren't you tired from running around all the time?” he asked casually.

Darius' lips twitched in frustration.

“Who's tired? I'm not tired,” argued Darius.

“I'm beyond excited to meet my grandchildren!” he huffed.

Benjamin raised an eyebrow at Darius. “Look at you, huffing and puffing as you speak. Are you sure you're not tired?”

Darius almost fainted out of anger.

“Look at this attitude, Issa. Have you seen anyone else speaking to their own father in this manner?” Darius pointed an indignant finger at Benjamin.

Sensing the rise in tension, William quickly fanned Darius to cool him down.

“He's definitely in the wrong, Old Mr. Graham!”

Arissa agreed with Darius. She herself was appalled by Benjamin's attitude toward Darius as well.

Upon hearing her response, Benjamin narrowed his eyes and turned to look at her.

Sensing Benjamin's eyes on her, Arissa pretended not to notice and ignored him.

If she acted clueless, Benjamin could not do anything.

However, Benjamin did not plan to let her off the hook.

He raised his hand out and pinched her cheek.

“I'm in the wrong?”

Arissa sucked in a sharp breath in pain before shooting him a glare.

“Obviously you're the one in the wrong! How could you talk to Old Mr. Graham that way? He's your father!”

“Hmph!” Benjamin let go of her cheek and leaned into the chair, crossing his legs domineeringly.

Arissa rubbed her sore cheek while looking at him speechlessly.

“What did Dad give you for you to take his side?” Benjamin teased.

One could easily tell from his voice that he was not mad.

Darius eyed the couple back and forth. Seeing that the pair seemed to have gotten closer than they were before, he could not help but feel delighted.

“Issa, come over here.” Darius waved Arissa over.

Out of reflex, Benjamin shot Darius a glare.

Just as Arissa was about to make her way over, Benjamin reached out to grab her shirt.
