Chapter 1199


    The six children eagerly waited in the car, pressing their faces against the window to watch Benjamin''s


    every move.


    There was no long queue at the patisserie, and Benjamin swiftly bought some pastries. As soon as he


    got into the car, he noticed the children''s eager gazes fixated on the food in his hands.


    A warm smile filled Benjamin''s eyes as he kept one portion aside and handed the remaining pastries to


    the children sitting behind him.


    “This is yours. Share it among yourselves!”


    The six children''s faces lit up with happiness. Gavin epted the pastries and began sharing them


    with his younger siblings.


    “Thank you, Daddy!” “Thank you, Mr. Graham!”


    Benjamin shook his head and couldn''t help but wonder when the other children would start calling him


    Daddy as well.


    While enjoying their meal, the children noticed the portion that had been set aside for Arissa. Zachary


    couldn''t resist teasing Benjamin about it. “Mr. Graham, are you ying favorites here? There are so


    many of us, and yet you''ve only given us such a small amount of food. Meanwhile, you''ve set aside so


    much for Mommy!”


    Jasper nodded and agreed with his brother. “Absolutely right! We''ve got six hungry mouths to feed, so


    this little amount won''t do.”


    Benjamin was amused. He nced at the children''s ravenous faces and replied while starting the car.


    “You guys have such small stomachs. Are you sure you''ll still have room for dinner after eating so


    much now? Meanwhile, your mommy is eating not just for herself but also for the baby in her belly. She


    needs to eat more.”


    The six children were rendered speechless by his reply.


    When they arrived at the hospital, the six children immediately dashed inside to look for Arissa.


    Benjamin was left momentarily behind.


    Benjamin took the things and followed behind the children.


    “Mommy!”


    The children rushed into the ward and were delighted to see Darius and Mary there. They greeted them


    politely.


    “Hello, Grandpa!”


    “Hello, Great-grandaunt!”


    The two elders smiled and looked at them lovingly. “Sweethearts, you''re done with school.”


    The children nodded joyfully, rushing over to Arissa and enveloping her in a group hug. They eximed


    in unison, “Mommy!”


    “You''re here!” Arissa was happy to see them. She embraced each of them, gently stroking their heads


    and showering them with affection.


    “Who brought you here?” she asked.


    “Mommy, Daddy brought us here,” Gavin said, his eyes fixed on Arissa. “Mommy, we missed you so


    much. Do you miss us too?”


    “Of course, I do.” She reached out and yfully pinched Gavin''s cheek, then turned to Danny and gave


    his cheek a gentle pinch as well.


    Her iridescent eyes crinkled into a smile as she looked at the rest of the children. “Are you all doing well


    in school?”


    “Absolutely, Mommy. We all behave well in our sses,” Danny replied with a serious expression on his


    face.


    Arissa smiled, fully trusting Danny''s words. Then, she spent a delightful time ying and bonding with


    them.


    Benjamin entered the room and was met with the heartwarming scene of the seven of them embracing


    each other. He furrowed his brows and intervened. “Alright, kids. Give your mommy some space to


    rest. Step aside, please.”


    The six children stuck out their tongues, and Jasper whispered under his breath, “We just got here.


    How could we possibly disturb Mommy?”


    “Huh?” Benjamin nced over, and Jasper shrank his neck.


    “Mommy, we bought you some pastries. You should eat it while it''s still warm. It won''t taste as good


    when it gets cold,” Oliver reminded her, holding Arissa''s hand tenderly.


    “Mommy, Mr. Graham is being biased toward you. He''s giving you the biggest portion while we only got


    the smaller portion,” Jesse said in a soft voice, her ck eyes sparkling. She looked adorable.


    Arissa smiled and nced at Benjamin.


    Benjamin didn''t know what to reply to that.


    He was the one who bought the food, yet the children were taking all the credit.


    “Eat it while it''s still warm.”

    He brought over the food, opened it for Arissa, and served some to Darius and Mary.


    “You two have some too.”


    “Thank you.” Mary nodded affectionately. She gestured for Darius to join her before she took a piece


    and began eating.


    “Mommy, eat!” Danny picked up a piece of food and gently fed it to Arissa.


    “Thank you, Sweetheart!” Arissa happily took the food from Danny, savoring each bite.


    Benjamin poured a ss of water and ced it on the cab, feeling a little jealous as he watched


    Arissa enjoy the food.


    “Do you believe everything the kids say?”
