Chapter 390 Benjamin Made Jesse Cry

"If you're any slower, Mommy won't buy it for us anymore!"

Jesse huffed and turned around to run off. She did not even put the things into the cart properly, so they fell to the ground.

Benjamin then hunched over to pick up the things to put inside the cart, but the moment he saw the cart full of junk food, he halted in his tracks.

In the next second, he put what he had picked up back onto the shelf.

When the girl came back and saw what Benjamin did, she turned anxious.

"Mr. Graham, why did you take my stuff out of the cart?"

When he looked into her red eyes, he found himself stumped.

"Mommy, Mr. Graham took my things out of the cart!" the girl immediately tattled to her mother.

The moment she realized her daughter was about to cry, Arissa hastily consoled, "Mommy will take it back for you, okay?"

Jesse pouted as tears welled up in her eyes. She looked like the epitome of misery.

Left without a choice, Benjamin took back the things from the shelf and softened his tone.

His head was starting to ache, and he realized he could not stand to watch Jesse's tears.

Doesn't the little one cry a lot? Jesse is so different from the boys.

"Here, I took them back for you."

"Jesse, help yourself. I won't take your stuff out of the cart anymore."

"Hmph!"

Jesse huffed before pouting.

Arissa then shot Benjamin a glare and chided, "What's the matter with you? Why did you have to take them all out?" Benjamin was speechless at that.

"Sweetheart, you still have time, so hurry and get something you like to eat," Arissa said to Jesse as she ruffled her hair. Immediately, Jesse's eyes lit up, and some of her tears went away. "Really?"

"Yes," Arissa affirmed.

"Hurry now, or your brothers are going to get them all."

"Okay!"

The girl then wiped her tears and sniffled before running off for her snacks.

When Arissa turned to look at Benjamin, she noticed the guilty look on his face.

He then explained, "There are too many junk foods in here, so I was thinking of taking some out."

Arissa rolled her eyes at him and whispered, "Don't you know how to be discreet? If you want to take it out, you can't let the kids see you." Benjamin pursed his lips. I did do it discreetly. Who knew the kid was going to come back so quickly?

Right then, Gavin, Zachary, Oliver, and Jasper rushed back to them.

"Mr. Graham, how can you do this? Did you take our snacks out too?"

Benjamin did not know how to reply to the children's questions.

"I didn't take yours out; I just took out Jesse's," he explained, but the four boys refused to believe him.

Jasper and Oliver then dug through the food in the cart.

A beat later, they huffed, "No wonder the things in the cart are getting lesser and lesser even though we've been taking so many snacks!" Benjamin blinked in silence.

"I don't want you to push the cart anymore! We'll do it ourselves."

With that said, Gavin pushed the cart away, not trusting Benjamin to help out anymore.

"Hmph! I don't want you to push this anymore either," said Zachary with a scoff before helping Gavin push the cart. Both hurried away for more snacks.

Meanwhile, Arissa was watching Benjamin with a gleeful look on her face, thinking, You did this to yourself.

Benjamin narrowed his eyes and whipped his head around to look at her.

At that, Arissa quickly looked away. Once the children were done choosing their snacks, she brought them away to the other aisles.

The five children were joyous throughout the shopping trip.

An hour later, they went to pay for the cart full of food.

After all, the butler was in charge of purchasing household necessities, so Arissa did not need to buy them at all.

Benjamin trailed behind them. When they reached the counter, he took out his card.

Arissa noticed it, but she did not stop him from paying for the food.

As they had bought too many things, they needed a few bags to pack them all in.

When Arissa pushed the shopping cart out, Benjamin pulled her away and said, "I'll do it."

She did not reject him as she stepped aside and leisurely watched the man busy away. "Put them inside the cart before pushing it out."

"Okay."

Once Benjamin placed all the bags into the cart, he began pushing it toward the outside.

"Sweethearts, let's go!" Arissa called out to the five children. Once they were by her side, the family of seven left the supermarket together.
