Chapter 338 Peeling Prawns For Mommy

Arissa settled the kids down first before taking her seat at the dining table. Benjamin sat down next to her.

Darius took a look at the couple and smiled.

Kingsley and Shaun looked at the two of them as well and exchanged knowing smiles.

“We’re starving just because we had to wait for you guys.”

“Do you have nothing else to do?” Benjamin glanced at the two men expressionlessly.

Kingsley and Shaun merely smiled in response.

“Mrs. Graham, are you feeling better now?” Shaun glanced at Arissa and asked.

“Much better.” Arissa nodded.

“Why? What happened to you, Issa?” Darius noticed something amiss and asked Arissa in concern.

Feeling somewhat embarrassed, Arissa replied, “I scalded my tongue when I was drinking coffee this morning, but

I’m fine now!”

“You should take care of yourself more,” Darius reminded before asking for the dishes to be served.

“Mommy, let me take a look at your tongue!” Gavin said, turning toward his mother.

Arissa chuckled and patted her son’s head before answering, “I’m fine now.”

She felt awkward acceding to her son’s request with so many people around.

While Gavin continued to fix his gaze on Arissa, Zachary, Oliver, Jasper, and Jesse looked over as well. “Mommy, are

you really okay now?” they asked.

Arissa nodded and said, “Yes I am. Anyway, let’s eat!”

While the five kids were taking turns putting food onto their mother’s plate, they suddenly remembered Darius and

started putting food onto their grandpa’s plate as well.

Darius was beaming from ear to ear as he watched his grandchildren serve him.

“Thank you, Sweethearts!”

“You’re welcome!” the children replied in unison.

“Jesse, come over to Grandpa!” Darius said to the little girl, who was the apple of his eye.

Jesse glanced toward Arissa and only went to Darius after receiving an encouraging nod from her mother.

“Here, Jesse, you’ll sit right next to Grandpa!”

Darius lifted the girl onto his lap and started placing food onto her plate.

“Mr. Graham, why don’t you let her sit on her own?” Arissa said to Darius, worried that he was spoiling Jesse.

She did not want her daughter to get used to other people feeding her.

Benjamin glanced at her and said to his father, “Dad, let Jesse sit on her own.”

Darius looked at the couple and laughed. “I just want to spend more time with Jesse given that I only get to eat with

the kids once in a blue moon.”

Gavin, Zachary, Oliver, and Jasper were already used to the fact that their sister was getting special treatment from

their grandpa since she was his favorite.

However, not only were they not jealous at all, they were glad that that was the case.

“Grandpa, I can eat myself. Let me sit on my own!”

Seeing that her brothers were all sitting independently, Jesse wanted to do that as well.

Darius was a little annoyed at Benjamin and said, “It’s all your fault that Jesse doesn’t want me to carry her now.”

Benjamin frowned when he heard that.

Darius then instructed Kingsley to add a chair next to him for Jesse. After placing the girl on the chair, Darius

started placing food on her plate again.

“Here you go, Jesse. You should eat more! Tell Grandpa what you like to eat,” Darius said to the girl in a gentle tone

before addressing the rest in a louder voice, “Everyone, dig in! Stop looking at us!”

Everyone laughed before picking up their utensils and started eating.

Benjamin found it strange that Darius was only paying attention to Jesse while the boys ate on their own.

However, Shaun and Kingsley were not surprised at all.

Arissa smiled and continued eating.

Seeing that the little girl was favored by Darius, she took some food for the boys.

“Thank you, Mommy!” the four boys said simultaneously.

Arissa smiled and replied, “Eat more, boys!”

The four little fellas nodded.

Benjamin glanced at Arissa, and his eyes lit up, noticing that she was enjoying her food.

“Mommy, I’ll peel some prawns for you!” Gavin offered and started peeling a large prawn for his mother.

Arissa was delighted and said, “Thank you, Sweetheart!”

“You’re welcome, Mommy!” Gavin replied with a wide grin on his face.

After peeling a prawn for Arissa, the boy peeled one more prawn for Jesse before peeling one for himself.

Zachary, Oliver, and Jasper followed their eldest brother’s lead and started peeling prawns for their mother too.

Benjamin shot a glance at Arissa’s plate that was piled up with love from their children.
