Chapter 1288 Caught In The Act


    “Are you going out to buy it?” Arissa looked at Benjamin—who was already prepared to leave—feeling


    deeply touched in her heart.


    “Yeah.” Benjamin nodded, ncing at the time. It was still quite early.


    After some thought, Arissa''s mouth watered at the thought of thete-night snacks from Supper Town.


    “I want to eat barbecued shrimp pasta! And grilled corn,mb skewers...”


    Benjamin''s brows furrowed, and he reminded her, “You can''t eat barbecue!”


    Arissa gulped, looking at him pitifully. “Can I have corn then?”


    Sighing internally, Benjamin replied, “I''ll go take a look and buy some food you can eat!”


    “Alright, hurry up then!” Arissa had no choice but to agree. Otherwise, he would buy her food that was


    even nder.


    “You can sleep for a while first!” Benjamin said before leaving the room.


    Supper Town was just less than a ten-minute drive from the hospital, which was not far.


    When Benjamin arrived, he first ordered a barbecued shrimp pasta and a roasted chicken. He didn''t


    order any other barbecued dishes.


    Seeing the cooked corn, he decisively bought one and also purchased a serving of beef casserole.


    Twenty minutester, he was already carrying the packedte-night snacks in both hands, heading


    towards the car.


    Suddenly, he saw a familiar figure from the corner of his eye. He nced in that direction, and his


    eyebrows furrowed tightly.


    Kingsley and a few others were walking over from the other side, with the kids protected in the middle.


    They were having a st.


    Suddenly, Kingsley and the group felt a piercing gaze fixed on them. They all turned to look ahead,


    meeting Benjamin''s tapered eyes. Each of them shuddered involuntarily.


    Oh my goodness!


    Why is Mr. Graham also here to buyte-night snacks?


    Why is Daddy here to havete-night snacks?


    Isn''t our luck just the worst? We were almost returning home, but we bumped into the person we feared


    the most.


    “Can someone exin?” Benjamin asked in a calm voice, his gaze sweeping over them with a chilling


    intensity.


    Biting the bullet, Kingsley chuckled awkwardly and hid behind the kids.


    The six adorable kids twitched their mouths. This subordinate is not up to par.


    “They''re hungry, so we all came out for ate-night snack! We''re heading back now!” Shaun exined


    carefully.


    Swallowing his saliva, Ethen met Benjamin''s gaze and quickly exined, “Mr. Graham, we didn''t let


    them eat anything unusual, only what they usually eat.”


    Benjamin gave a cold huff, ring at them. Then his gaze fell on the children. “Didn''t you tell your mom


    that you were home?”


    The six kids were huddled together with their heads down. We didn''t say that. It was a


    misunderstanding on Mommy''s part.


    However, they didn''t dare to argue with Benjamin by saying those words.


    “I-I''m hungry, so Mr. Watts treated us to a meal!” Jesse was soft and tender, twisting her small hands


    as she spoke to Benjamin. Her timid demeanor made it impossible for Benjamin to get angry.

    Benjamin stared at them for a moment, then said in a deep voice, “Go back now.”


    “Okay!” Jesse nodded vigorously. Gavin, Tim, Zachary, Oliver, and Jasper also nodded in agreement.


    “We''re going home right now!”


    Seeing the children''s sincere attitudes, Benjamin felt somewhat satisfied. His sharp gaze then swept


    over to Kingsley. “Don''t take them out for a casual stroll in the middle of the night.”


    Benjamin wasn''t forbidding the children from going out at night. But given the current special


    circumstances, he didn''t want the kids to be exposed to danger again.


    “Boss, I was wrong!” Kingsley admitted his mistake with his head hung low, looking somewhat pitiful.


    “After sending them home, punish yourself by running tenps!” Benjamin''s gaze was icy as he


    nced at Ethen, Shaun, and Kingsley.


    Ethen and Shaun''s expressions froze. Are we going to be punished as well?


    Ethen dared not protest, “Yes, Mr. Graham!”


    “Yes!” Shaun said, looking particrly innocent.


    Benjamin gave them a nce before turning around to get into the car. His words were meant for the


    kids. “Once you''re home, give me a call!”


    The children replied, “Understood!”


    The group stood by the roadside and watched Benjamin''s car disappear into the distance. Then, they


    collectively let out a sigh.


    “What awful luck!”
