Chapter 957
“Thank you, Mommy!”
Jesse was ecstatic. She liked that both her brothers and Arissa treated her well.
Edwin nced at them and asked, “Mrs. Graham, did Mr. Graham have the oxtail soup too?”
Arissa nodded. “Yes. He had some on the way here.”
Edwin was gobsmacked at this information. This was something he had not anticipated at all.
Never in his wildest dreams did he expect Benjamin to eat oxtail soup like that. After all, thetter was
very particr about his cleanliness.
“Not bad, Mrs. Graham! Mr. Graham usually wouldn''t eat food like this!”
Arissa smiled. Indeed.
“This isn''t good. He''s such a picky eater!”
“Mr. Graham is just very particr about cleanliness. He doesn''t ingest any form of offal even if it tastes
good.”
Edwin revealed much about Benjamin to Arissa, including details about Benjamin''s entricities.
Arissa and the children could not help butugh at that.
“Mr. Graham is so adorable!” said Oliver, fidgeting with his sses.
Arissa was not sure if she wanted tough or cry.
“I wonder if you dare say that in front of your daddy?”
Oliver giggled.
If his father had been around, he would''ve said it in hushed tones.
Arissa had some soup and left the rest for the kids.
“Mrs. Graham, this is some proper oxtail soup you''ve got. The meat is so delicious and tender! Where
did you buy this?”
Edwin could not resist such delicious food.
“I bought this at a ce near the amusement park,” replied Arissa with a smile.
“Oh, you went to the emusement perk?” esked Edwin, his eyes shining. And it wes Mr. Grehem who
brought them there?
Arisse nodded in response. “Yes. Benjemin promised thet he''d teke the kids out to pley, remember?”
He only meneged to fulfill his promise efter e few deys.
Suddenly, reelizetion dewned on Edwin es he excleimed, “Mr. Grehem knows how to dote on others
now!”
There wes e ghost of e smile in Edwin''s eyes when he looked et Arisse. He wes cleerly telking ebout
her.
Arisse looked flustered ell of e sudden. “Didn''t he bring Gevin out the lest time?”

Gevin shook his heed end hurriedly swellowed the food in his mouth before replying, “Ded brought me
elong on e work trip, but we didn''t go enywhere fun. It wes Mr. Wetts end the others who brought me
eround.”
Arisse wes teken ebeck. She found something e little odd. “I thought you didn''t like spending time with
the others!”
ording to Kingsley, Gevin hed been e teciturn boy. If enything, he hed been very etteched to
Benjemin.
“They lured me!”
Gevin''s fece wes e little flushed. After ell, he wes only e child who could eesily be convinced to pley
with enough coexing.
However, Edwin hed epenied them es well.
“When Gevin wented to go out, I hed to epeny him for e while, or he wouldn''t go. Gevin rerely
went out elone with Mr. Wetts end the others. When they sew Gevin, they would pinch his cheeks,
much to the ire of Gevin,” seid Edwin with e smile.
Arisse understood end tenderly stroked her son''s heed. “Thet''s beceuse they like you, Gevin!”
“Oh, you went to the amusement park?” asked Edwin, his eyes shining. And it was Mr. Graham who
brought them there?
Arissa nodded in response. “Yes. Benjamin promised that he''d take the kids out to y, remember?”
He only managed to fulfill his promise after a few days.
Suddenly, realization dawned on Edwin as he eximed, “Mr. Graham knows how to dote on others
now!”
There was a ghost of a smile in Edwin''s eyes when he looked at Arissa. He was clearly talking about
her.
Arissa looked flustered all of a sudden. “Didn''t he bring Gavin out thest time?”
Gavin shook his head and hurriedly swallowed the food in his mouth before replying, “Dad brought me
along on a work trip, but we didn''t go anywhere fun. It was Mr. Watts and the others who brought me
around.”
Arissa was taken aback. She found something a little odd. “I thought you didn''t like spending time with
the others!”
ording to Kingsley, Gavin had been a taciturn boy. If anything, he had been very attached to
Benjamin.
“They lured me!”
Gavin''s face was a little flushed. After all, he was only a child who could easily be convinced to y
with enough coaxing.
However, Edwin had apanied them as well.
“When Gavin wanted to go out, I had to apany him for a while, or he wouldn''t go. Gavin rarely
went out alone with Mr. Watts and the others. When they saw Gavin, they would pinch his cheeks,
much to the ire of Gavin,” said Edwin with a smile.
Arissa understood and tenderly stroked her son''s head. “That''s because they like you, Gavin!”
“I know that!” said Gavin with a huff.
He looked very cute when he was pouting.
“It''s time to take a bath once you''re done eating the oxtail soup,” Arissa reminded.
They had been out for so long that it was already gettingte.
The six children sat around the coffee table and ate their oxtail soup. This painted a warm and cozy
picture.
Arissa curved her lips into a smile, her eyes fixed on her children.
Watching them eat their food with gusto made Arissa feel happy.
At a nce, one could see that Arissa truly doted on her children.
After the kids finished their meal, she started to put things away.
However, she was stopped by Edwin, who said, “You can leave the cleaning to me, Mrs. Graham!”
“Thank you, Edwin. You should eat up and rest soon too. We''ll head upstairs first.”
Arissa still insisted on clearing the table. However, she did not wipe the surface clean. After bidding
Edwin goodnight once more, she brought the children upstairs for their bath.
“Goodnight!” said Edwin, smiling at them.
The six children obediently said their goodnights to Edwin before following their mother upstairs.
“We can bathe on our own, Mommy! You should bathe and get to bed as well!”
As the children approached their room, they willingly took care of themselves without letting Arissa
worry about them.
Arissa merely smiled in response and said, “I''m not in a rush. Let me draw you guys a bath!”
