You More Than Anything In The World
Chapter 787

"Why are you giggling?" Benjamin lowered his gaze at her.

Arissa gave him a look and asked, "Were you the one who coaxed Gavin when he cried?"

Benjamin arched his brow. "Isn't that obvious?"

"Graham, it never crossed my mind that you know how to coax a child!" Arissa smiled.

Benjamin's expression turned dark all of a sudden. What does she take me for?

"Did you think that you're the only one who knows how to console a child? Fine, I'll send all the crying children to you from now onward."

Arissa continued smiling. “Perhaps the kids love being coaxed by Daddy!"

Benjamin harrumphed softly.

Right then, Edwin came out of the kitchen to serve them food. His eyes lit up when he saw the couple come down the stairs arm in arm.

Did Mr. and Mrs. Graham make up?

"Mrs. Graham, could you please help me bring the food out to Old Mr. Graham and the children?"

"Is dinner ready, Edwin?" Arissa asked as she received the food.

"Just a little while more." Edwin cast a glance at them before returning to the kitchen.

Arissa passed the food to Benjamin and instructed, "You bring this to the kids. I'm going to help in the kitchen."

Shortly after watching her leave, he turned around and walked away.

When Darius saw Benjamin heading in his direction, he turned toward the six kids, who immediately called out to him in their cutesy voices.

"Daddy!"

"Mr. Graham!"

"Mr. Graham!"

"Hey!" Benjamin glanced at them. "Come and have some snack."

The six kids darted toward him. Subsequently, Gavin took one for Darius.

"Here you go, Grandpa!"

"Thank you, Gavin." Delighted, Darius stroked his head dotingly.

The thoughtful Zachary also grabbed some for Tim, Oliver, Jasper, and Jesse before enjoying the snack himself.

As Gavin ran back to Benjamin, the latter passed him another one and said, "Sit down and eat."

Hence, the six of them each took a seat and munched their snacks away.

"You should have one too, Mr. Graham." Zachary stared at Benjamin.

"Take a seat, Mr. Graham," Oliver chimed in.

"Okay." Benjamin did as told.

"Where's Mommy, Mr. Graham?" All six children turned to look at him in unison.

Jesse looked exceptionally adorable when she blinked. Her lashes were long and thick.

Benjamin fixed his gaze on her and answered, "Mommy is in the kitchen."

"I bet she's making delicious food for us." Jesse grinned from ear to ear.

Her five brothers, too, were anticipating the food with great excitement.

Darius watched them with a smile on his face and commented, "Your mommy is a great cook indeed."

Upon hearing Darius' compliment, Zachary expressed his gratitude smugly. "Thank you, Grandpa."

"Mommy can make an array of delectables. Grandpa, please visit more often. Then, you'll get to taste them all," Jasper said.

"Sure!" Overjoyed, Darius turned and looked at Benjamin.

"Hey!" Benjomin glonced ot them. "Come ond hove some snock."

The six kids dorted toword him. Subsequently, Govin took one for Dorius.

"Here you go, Grondpo!"

"Thonk you, Govin." Delighted, Dorius stroked his heod dotingly.

"Sure!" Overjoyed, Dorius turned ond looked ot Benjomin.

The latter then poured each child a glass of water. He reminded them, "Don't just keep eating. Have some water."

"Thanks, Daddy!" Gavin said sweetly.

"Thanks, Mr. Graham," Tim chimed in as well and followed by the other four kids.

Chuckling, Darius teased, "You haven't gotten their approval?"

Benjamin side-eyed his father and said nothing.

"You seem to be quite free today. Are you done with work, Benjamin?"

"I'm spending time with my kids," he replied placidly.

Not only was Darius taken aback by his answer, but the children were also astounded.

Tim asked softly, "Mr. Graham, are you going to coach us on our studies now?"

"There's no hurry. I'll help you all with your homework after dinner." Benjamin tousled the boy's head. "You like the snacks?"

Tim nodded vigorously. "It's so yummy!"

He had been eating very slowly because he could not bring himself to finish the delicious food.

It pained Benjamin's heart to see him acting that way. "Go ahead and eat as much as you like. Edwin has made lots of them."

At that instant, Gavin served his brother some more. "Come on, eat faster, or else we're going to finish them all. More mouth-watering food is coming our way later!"

Jasper looked at his two older brothers and guffawed. "You guys are the slowest!"

Then he stuffed the snack into his mouth and gobbled it down.
