Chapter 1251 Use My Phone


    “Mommy, quick. Drink up,” the children urged Arissa to start eating.


    With a smile, she said, “Let''s eat then!”


    She turned to Kingsley and gestured for him to sit down. “Join us, Mr. Watts.”


    “Thank you, Mrs. Graham. I won''t stand on ceremony then.”


    Kingsley exchanged a nce with Benjamin before settling down next to the children.


    Meanwhile, Arissa caught Benjamin''s eye when she nced over.


    “Eat up!”


    With an arched brow, Benjamin passed her a spoon, and Arissa gratefully epted it, taking a sip of


    her soup.


    Benjamin gestured to the children, silently encouraging them to eat up as well. Worried that Arissa


    might sense something was amiss, the children obediently started eating their food quickly.


    While Benjamin was busy making sure she was eating, Arissa couldn''t help ncing over at him,


    saying, “You should eat too.”


    Benjamin softly acquiesced, yet intermittently, he continued to ce food on her te, showing his


    consideration and affection.


    “Sweethearts, is Grandaunt alone at home?” asked Arissa as she swept her gaze across her children.


    “Yes, she is. Initially, she wanted toe over, but there weren''t enough seats in the car!” Zachary


    offered a reasonable exnation.


    “Oh, okay.” Arissa nodded in response and continued eating.


    The children stole a quick nce at their mother and noticed Benjamin''s watchful gaze on them. They


    turned their attention back to their tes, catching their father''s warning re, and obediently resumed


    eating their meals.


    Meanwhile, Kingsley paid no mind to the others. His initial concern for the children had now been


    reced by his hunger, and he was fully engrossed in enjoying his meal.


    Their mealtime seemed a lot quieter that day.


    Arissa noticed the peculiar behavior of everyone around the table and gave them a teasing look. “Didn''t


    you all have lunch?” she asked.


    They were so focused on their food that they had no time to chat.


    The children looked up at her, and Gavin asked withplete seriousness, “Mommy, we did. Why?”

    “You all seem so hungry; I thought you must have missed lunch!” Arissa jokingly remarked, ncing at


    all of her children.


    Meeting their mother''s gaze, Jasper yfully teased, “Mommy, are you surprised to see us behaving


    ourselves for a change?”


    Arissa chuckled and exchanged a nce with both Jasper and Jesse.


    “Why did you two suddenly decide to behave yourselves today?” she asked.


    Jasper grinned mischievously and replied, “Mommy, you''re so strange! When we are noisy, you


    comin. Now that we are quiet, you find us odd.”


    “That''s right! Mommy, I thought you said that we mustn''t talk while we''re eating?”


    Jesse stared at her with those round, ck eyes and her pouting mouth, looking so adorable that


    anyone who took one look at her would want to pinch her chubby cheeks.


    Arissa was dumbstruck by her children''s replies.


    Benjamin turned to look at her. “Eat up. Weren''t you hungry a while ago?”


    A sheepish smile etched itself across Arissa''s features as she stopped engaging in further conversation


    with the children and turned her attention back to her food.


    There was not a single sound during the entire meal.


    “I''m done!”


    With that, Arissa stretched her body.


    As the others continued eating, Arissa leaned back in her chair, captivated by the adorable sight of her


    children eating.


    Their tiny mouths moved cutely as they chewed their food, and she couldn''t help but be enchanted by


    their innocence and charm.


    As she watched them, she could not help but curl her lips into a smile.


    “I wonder if Tim has eaten yet?”


    Despite Tim being with Darius, Arissa couldn''t shake off her worries about him. She considered calling


    Darius to inquire about her son''s well-being, but she hesitated, not wanting to disturb him.


    Benjamin noticed her sigh and shifted his gaze toward her. “Why are you sighing so soon after having


    your dinner? Is the food not good enough?” he asked, concern evident in his tone.


    Arissa smiled and nced at him. “Do you think I''ll disturb Dad if I give him a call?”


    Aware of her concern for Tim, he handed her his phone, a silent gesture encouraging her to make the


    call.


    Arissa blinked in confusion. “What?”


    “Use my phone to give him a call!” Benjamin said as he handed her the device before continuing to eat.
