NovelEnglishGavin looked at Tim with a smile and said, “Tim, if you address
him as Daddy, Daddy is going to be so happy!”
Zachary frowned and protested, “No! You can't call him
Daddy!”
The rest of the kids looked at him in bewilderment.
Zachary's eyes gleamed as he said to Tim, “Tim, you have to
call Mommy first. Since Mr. Graham hasn't passed the test yet,
you should refrain from calling him Daddy!”
Tim merely stared at them, not knowing who to listen to.
Right then, Benjamin came out. As his gaze swept across the
children, it finally landed on Zachary.
With a teasing look in his eyes, he asked, “Zachary, did you
just call me Daddy?”
Zachary was stunned momentarily and started blushing. He
then instantly retorted, “No, | didn't call you Daddy!"
Benjamin smiled and stared at him intently. “Didn't you just call
me Daddy again?”
Zachary went silent upon hearing that.
Speechless, Gavin also glanced at Benjamin and said,
“Daddy! Do you have no shame?”
Benjamin's eyes flickered, and he glared at his son.

Seeing that, Gavin flinched and addressed his siblings, “Let's
go wash our hands before our dinner!”
“Mommy is here!” Jesse was over the moon when she saw
Arissa and Mary come in.
Upon hearing that, all the kids quickly went
to wash their hands.
Arissa saw Benjamin standing by the entrance of the study
room, but she shifted her gaze away. Instead, she just pushed
Mary right past him.
Benjamin merely glanced at her in response.
“It's time to eat, Mr. Graham!” Mary called out.
Benjamin nodded. “Grandaunt, you can just call me Benjamin!”
Mary smiled and nodded.
Benjamin followed them from behind to wash his hands as
well.
Sensing the man's gaze on her, Arissa turned her head back to
look.
However, she quickly turned back around again after she saw
Benjamin talking to Edwin. Was | imagining things?
She pushed Mary to the bathroom after that. Jesse was just
done washing her hands, so she came out and said, “Mommy,
I'm done!”
“Good! Head over to the dining room first!” Arissa replied with
a smile.
After Mary was done using the bathroom, Arissa washed her
hands for her before pushing her out.
“Please let me help, Ms. York!” Edwin came over to push Mary
to the dining room.
Arissa went back to the bathroom to relieve herself before
washing her hands. After that, she went to the dining room.
By then, the kids were all already seated.
“Mommy, hurry up!” they urged her excitedly
when they saw her.
After giving them a nod, Arissa was stunned when she noticed
Shaun and Kingsley there.
“Let's eat, Mrs. Graham!” Kingsley greeted with a smile.
Arissa nodded awkwardly. “I thought you guys had already
left!”
“No. We were upstairs, and we've just woken up!” Kingsley
smiled and answered.
Benjamin came over and frowned when he saw Kingsley
looking at Arissa. “Zip it before | throw you out!”
Kingsley was shocked when he noticed Benjamin's warning
gaze. He then looked away and teased softly, “Benjamin, why
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmare you so petty? Can't | chat with Mrs. Graham?”
Benjamin shot him a fierce stare and uttered, “Edwin, get him
out!”
Edwin glanced at them and had no choice but to approach
Kingsley.
However, Kingsley remained seated. “Edwin, do you have to
be so obedient and listen to everything he says? At least wait
till I'm done eating, okay? I'm famished!”
Benjamin shot him another glare.
Upon seeing that, Kingsley quickly shut his mouth after saying,
“Fine! I'll keep my mouth shut!”
Arissa was amused by their interaction.
“Shall we eat? The kids are hungry,” she asked Benjamin
softly.
Something flickered in Benjamin's eyes as he gazed at her.
“Let's eat!”
Arissa smiled and said to everybody, “Dig in, everyone!” She
then got some food for Mary and the kids before she started
eating.
The moment the hot food came into contact with the corner of
her lips, she gasped in pain.
Benjamin's eyes flashed, and he stared at the corner of her
lips for a while.
Jesse, who was sitting beside Arissa, heard it. She then tilted
her head and asked, “Mommy, what's wrong?”
