Chapter 294 Give Me The Green Light

Unsure of how to respond to that, Arissa tried to change the topic. "Aren't you tired from your lack of sleep? Why come play with the kids instead of getting some sleep?" Kingsley had stayed up the whole night, so how is he still so energetic?

"I had a nightmare and couldn't go back to sleep. Anyway, I am feeling a little tired now. Do you mind if I sleep here, Mrs. Graham?" Kingsley said.

"Why are you asking me? This is Benjamin's place, so you should be asking him for permission instead!" Arissa retorted.

Kingsley chuckled. "Boss won't say no if you give me the green light!"

Arissa fell speechless as she wondered if she really did have that much authority.

"You can sleep in our room if you're tired, Mr. Watts. That way, Mr. Graham won't be mad at you!" Jesse suggested with her hands wrapped around Arissa's neck. "That's a good idea, but will your brothers allow it? They're such clean freaks, after all!" Kingsley said when he saw the four kids running toward them.

"You could just take a shower before sleeping in our room!" Jesse replied.

Arissa patted her on the head and said with a chuckle, "He's just messing with you, Jesse. We have a guest room, so he doesn't need to sleep in your room at all!" Benjamin and Kingsley were close friends, so he wouldn't stop him from sleeping over anyway.

Gavin glanced at Kingsley when he heard what Arissa said.

"Why would you want to sleep in our room when you have a guest room available? Where are we going to sleep, then?"

Kingsley burst out laughing. "Calm down, Gavin. I was just teasing Jesse for a bit."

"Hmph! You're such a meanie, Mr. Watts!" Jesse exclaimed in annoyance.

Gavin sat down beside Arissa with a plate full of food. "Hurry up and try this, Mommy!"

Zachary, Oliver, and Jasper all came over with plates of food as well.

"Here you go, Mommy! We've already eaten, so we're very full right now!"

"All right, put it down on the table. I can eat it by myself."

Arissa then sat Jesse down on the couch before calling out to Kingsley, "Would you like to have some, Mr. Watts?"

"Oh, I already ate with them earlier. You go on ahead, Mrs. Graham!"

"Okay, then. Don't mind if I do!"

"You don't have to be so formal around me, Mrs. Graham! Besides, doesn't everything here belongs to you anyway?" Kingsley teased. "Please don't say that in front of other people, Mr. Watts. They might get the wrong idea and think I own this place!" Arissa replied.

I'm just staying here. Everything in this place belongs to Benjamin.

"All right, let your mommy have her meal in peace, kids. Come play with me instead!" Kingsley called out to them.

Zachary shot him a glance. "We've been playing with you for a while. Right now, we want to keep Mommy company!"

"But your Mommy is right here, isn't she? She's not going anywhere, so why would you stick to her like glue? How about we go have some fun outside?" Kingsley suggested. To his surprise, the kids weren't tempted by his offer in the slightest.

"No, thanks!"

Kingsley could only rub his nose awkwardly in response to their rejection. He really envied Arissa for being surrounded by such adorable children.

While sipping on some milk, Arissa noticed Jesse staring and handed her the glass.

Jesse happily took a tiny sip of it before saying, "You should drink more of it, Mommy!"

"I'm staying home today, so you kids can go out to play!" Arissa said with a smile as she continued eating the rest of the food.

I can't go anywhere if Benjamin is home anyway... Speaking of Benjamin, he's probably busy in his study right now, isn't he?

With that in mind, Arissa glanced at the study.

"Mrs. Graham, why don't you bring Boss some food?" Kingsley suggested when he saw where she was looking.

"Why don't you do it?" Arissa asked with a smile.

"You see, Boss will be happy if you bring him the food. If I do it, he'll just roll his eyes at me in disgust!" Kingsley replied while munching on an apple. Zachary stared at him. "Then why did you go see him in the study earlier?"
