Chapter 1311 Jealous After All


    Edwin has prepared a spread of aglio olio, tater tots, and bread.


    The children who arrived ahead of him had their eyes gleaming with anticipation. They eagerly


    mbered onto the dining table, inhaling deeply the delightful aroma wafting from the food.


    “Mr. Whitley, you''re so amazing! You''ve made so many delicious dishes in such a short time!”


    Edwin''s eyes crinkled into a smile as he took bowls and skillfully served them portions of aglio olio.


    “It didn''t take long. I baked the bread in advance so you can enjoy it as soon as youe home.”


    The children''s tion was palpable. Their voices were tender and sweet as they conveyed their


    appreciation. “Thank you, Mr. Whitley!” they chimed in unison.


    “You''re wee. Come, try the aglio olio I made!” Edwin ced the aglio olio in front of Jesse first.


    “Mr. Whitley''s cooking must be amazing, I can tell it''s delicious without even tasting it!” Jesse said


    sweetly as she hugged her bowl.


    Edwin, gratified by their response, was in an especially cheerful mood. “Thank you, Ms. Jesse!”


    “Mr. Whitley, could you please serve Mr. Graham a big portion?”


    “Mr. Graham seems to be the most ravenous among us, so a small serving should be enough for the


    rest of us!”


    “Just give us a little, and leave the rest for Mr. Graham!”


    “Of course!” Edwin was also pleased to see them treat Benjamin well. He promptly assembled another


    substantial te just as he noticed Benjamin approaching.


    Beaming, he remarked, “Mr. Graham, the children treat you well. They specifically requested that I


    serve you thergest portion and set aside the most food for you to enjoy!”


    Benjamin nced at the children, who hadn''t started eating yet. He took his seat at the head of the


    table, and Edwin promptly served him arge te of aglio olio.


    “Go ahead and eat. Once you''re full, head up to bed!”


    “Okay. Daddy, you should start eating. We don''t need to go out, so we can eat slowly!” Gavin looked at


    him and said earnestly.


    Benjamin nced at the children. He took a bite of the aglio olio and found it quite tasty. He was indeed


    hungry.


    By the time all the children had their own bowl, Benjamin had already eaten half of his.


    “Mr. Graham, there''s some left. Should I give it all to you?” Edwin gathered the remaining aglio olio


    from the pan and asked Benjamin.


    As the children had started eating, Benjamin nodded and said, “Give me the rest.”


    Edwin was delighted and quickly served Benjamin. “Mr. Graham, didn''t you take the children out for fun


    tonight?”


    They came back quite early tonight.


    “Yep! They went to y right after school!” Benjamin responded, joining the children for ate-night


    snack.


    The children would also offer him the food on the table.


    “I''m not partial to this, so feel free to have it,” Benjamin said. Barbecued food wasn''t his preference, so


    he only took a single skewer for himself.


    The six little ones split up the barbecued food, their mouths soon turning oily.


    Edwin wiped the corners of the children''s mouths before heading back into the kitchen to get busy,


    leaving them to their own devices.


    “Mr. Graham, here are two tater tots for you!”


    Jesse gave Benjamin two tater tots as she was feeling guilty.


    After all, she was the one who gave that bottle of drink to Benjamin. Now that Benjamin had a stomach


    upset, she knew she was in the wrong despite her initial delight.


    “Thank you, Jesse!” Benjamin said with a grateful smile.


    Jesse nced at him, feeling a bit shy. “You need to eat well so you have the strength to take care of


    Mommy!”

    Benjamin smiled, understanding the children''s intentions.


    “Mm!”


    Benjamin ate to his heart''s content, and the children were also delighted. They managed to finish


    everything prepared by Edwin.


    “I''m going to the hospital as your mommy is still waiting for me. You guys should go to bed early, if


    anythinges up, call me!” Benjamin told the children before leaving.


    “Goodbye, Daddy!”


    “Goodbye, Mr. Graham!”


    The six children stood at the door to see him off.


    Benjamin looked at the children, waved his hand to signal them to go inside the house, and then got


    into the car to leave.


    “Children, let''s head inside!” Edwin called out to the children to go to bed after seeing Benjamin leave.


    “Okay!” The six little ones obediently followed Edwin upstairs.
