Chapter 1342 Finding Kingsley


    The little ones were already waiting in the dining room, all seated in their chairs. A few adults were still


    waiting for Benjamin and Arissa.


    “Hurry up ande eat!” Darius called out to the couple.


    “Here we are!” Benjamin responded, striding forward with his long legs. He carried Arissa into the


    dining room and only after settling herfortably in her seat did he sit down himself.


    He called out to everyone, “Let''s all sit down and eat!”


    Shaun, Jonathan, Ethen, Jack, and Bradley took their seats one after another.


    Darius and Mary were busy arranging things, when Arissa quickly called out to them, “Dad, Grandaunt,


    Edwin, please take your seats and start eating.”


    Darius and Mary responded in agreement, and they all took their seats. Edwin gave a few instructions


    to the housekeepers, and once everything was arranged, he sat down to join everyone for dinner.


    “Come! Let''s drink!” Shaun, holding the wine that Jonathan had brought over, already chilled and ready,


    moved over to Benjamin and filled his ss. “Today, Arissa has been discharged from the hospital,


    Benjamin. You should celebrate with a few more drinks!”


    Arissa looked at Shaun''s ttering demeanor, then turned to Benjamin, who remained indifferent, and


    she couldn''t help butugh.


    “Huh? Why haven''t I seen Mr. Watts? Isn''t heing?” Suddenly realizing that Kingsley was missing,


    Arissa was puzzled. Hadn''t Shaun informed him earlier?


    She looked at Benjamin again. He had just said that everyone had arrived.


    Shaun burst into heartyughter before saying, “Arissa, he won''t be able to make it.”


    “Is he busy?” Arissa asked in bafflement. Usually, Kingsley is the quickest to show up. I don''t see what


    could keep Kingsley so upied. Among this group of people, he is the most idle one.


    “I guess Kingsley is probably...” Jonathan nced at Benjamin andughed. “That''s a question for


    Benjamin!”

    Arissa turned her head to look at Benjamin, her curiosity piqued. “Did you ask Kingsley to do something


    for you?”


    Benjamin met her curious gaze, lightly tapped her forehead, and said in a soft voice, “Let''s eat. Don''t


    mind him!”


    We''re all having a gathering, but they didn''t invite Kingsley. Is this appropriate? Arissa pouted,


    muttering to herself, “Work can always be der. It would be better to invite him over for a meal!”


    She bumped Benjamin''s arm, instructing him, “Call him over now!”


    Shaun found the couple amusing, watching them with a smile. Ethen, Bradley, and Jack were silent,


    not daring to make a sound.


    “Why is he so busy? Why not invite Kingsley over for dinner, just as your wife suggested?” Darius also


    urged Benjamin.


    “He''s not in Dellmoor!” Benjamin answered. If I don''t give them an answer, they''ll never stop asking.


    Shaun couldn''t help butugh. He decided to be straightforward with Arissa, so he said, “Arissa, the


    truth is, Kingsley was actually trying to avoid Benjamin, but he was discovered. As a result, he was sent


    even further away.”


    Arissa was utterly shocked, and she looked at Benjamin. This man actually imed he was helping


    Kingsley when it was clearly a punishment.


    With a slight lift of his eyes, Benjamin stared at her intently and said, “That''s right. He has gone to do


    something for me!”


    There was a project over there, and Kingsley couldn''t return to Dellmoor until it waspleted.


    Arissa wasn''t sure whether to believe it or not. A twitch tugged at the corner of her mouth as she turned


    her head. She then warmly invited everyone to start the meal. “Let''s eat then. I thought Kingsley was in


    Dellmoor!”


    Shaun had filled everyone''s sses with wine, both the adults and the elderly. For Arissa, it was juice.


    Kingsley was not around, so Shaun took on the role of setting the mood, taking the lead by raising his


    ss and calling out cheerfully, “Come! Let''s toast to celebrate Arissa''s discharge from the hospital and


    Old Mr. Graham''s robust health!”


    “Cheers!”


    “Cheers!”


    “Cheers!”


    “Wishing Old Mr. Graham and Mrs. Graham good health!”


    Everyone kept pace, each lifting their own wine ss in front of them. The little ones were overjoyed,


    raising their own juice sses and standing up to clink sses with everyone.


    “Wishing Mommy and Grandpa good health, and wishing everyone good health!”


    “Haha!”


    Upon hearing the soft, adorable voices of the kids, the adults couldn''t help but chuckle.
