Chapter 305 How Dare She Yell At Me

After dinner, Darius led the children out into the garden for a walk. There, the children surrounded him and played merrily.

As Arissa and Benjamin followed behind them, Kingsley knowingly walked ahead to join Darius in fooling around with the children.

"Did you have your fill?"

When Benjamin turned to look at her exquisite face, he realized he couldn't peel his eyes away.

Meanwhile, Arissa's heart skipped a beat when she made eye contact with him.

"Yes, I have."

She looked at him. "Did you not?"

Benjamin snorted. "Despite knowing that I can't take spicy food, you ended up making a lot of it."

Arissa couldn't believe Benjamin still held a grudge over the misunderstanding.

"That was for Gavin. Is it so difficult for you to not eat it?"

Benjamin narrowed his gaze at her.

"Arissa, I'm sure you did it on purpose."

Arissa was stumped.

Can't I make something delicious for the children?

She felt exasperated at how he was kicking up a fuss at the children's expense.

"That's right. I did it on purpose. So what if I cooked something nice for my son? Is it wrong to do so? If you don't care for him, I do!" Fuming, she turned and walked ahead.

At that moment, Benjamin's veins started to throb as he watched her leave. How dare she yell at me!

Concurrently, Arissa was peeved. Isn't it just lasagna? Does he think he's still a kid? And that he can throw a tantrum at me? What a nut!

When Gavin noticed that Arissa was upset, he hurried to her side and held her hand.

"Mommy, let's go in front to play."

When she felt her son's hand enveloping her, Arissa managed to calm down.

She looked at him with an affectionate smile. "Sure, let's go!"

Then, she bent down to pick him up and pecked him on his cheeks.

Blushing, Gavin buried his face in Arissa's shoulders. The shyness he displayed was one that Benjamin had never seen before.

When he saw the mother and son together, Benjamin walked over and reached out to carry Gavin. "Gavin, come over here."

However, Gavin refused and hugged Arissa tighter.

After shooting Benjamin a glance, Arissa carried Gavin over to Darius' side.

"Issa, where do you usually take them out to?" Darius asked with a smile.

"Nowhere in particular although we might go shopping sometimes. During the weekends, I'll take them to the park or the playground. Such activities are popular overseas, especially going for a picnic. After all, it feels amazing to lay a cloth on the ground and lie together in the sun doing nothing."

Darius nodded in acknowledgment. "Were you also in Dellmoor before this?"

Arissa shook her head. "No, we were overseas and have only returned recently."

Darius looked in Benjamin's direction before adding, "In that case, you must have put in a lot of effort for them to speak Chanaen so well."

Darius was cognizant of how difficult it was to get the children to speak Chanaen fluently without a foreign accent given their circumstances.

"I have trained them to speak Chanaen since they were young."

As Arissa described their life overseas to Darius, he listened intently.

Even Benjamin was mesmerized by her stories.

Locking his gaze on her and watching her smile, he could imagine how difficult it was for her to raise four children back then.

Kingsley looked at Benjamin and teased, "Do you feel bad now?"

Benjamin gave him the side-eye. "Why are you still here?"

Scratching his nose, Kingsley laughed cheekily. "I'm leaving soon."

Benjamin snorted in response.

"Boss, if you want to be part of them, you can't maintain that domineering demeanor of yours.

Unlike Gavin whom you raised and is used to your methods, Zachary and the rest are different. They are not used to your heavy-handedness. If you want them to call you Daddy, you'll have to treat their mommy better. This is the information I have gathered from the children on your behalf. As long as you treat Mrs. Graham well, the children will quickly fall into place."
