The More the Merrier novel Chapter 565

Chapter 565 Arissa Boldly Fed Him

“These are the barbeque skewers! Come and eat them.”

Benjamin opened the packet before sitting beside Gavin.

“Barbeque skewers!”

Standing up, Gavin looked at it and sniffed it. “How fragrant!”

Benjamin cast a glance at him.

Zachary smiled brightly. “There are four portions! That’s a lot!” He passed Gavin a skewer. “Have a bite! They’re delicious.”

After giving two skewers to Tim, he passed a skewer each to his siblings. In the end, he started munching on a skewer.

“Eat up, Tim!” When Zachary noticed Tim staring at the skewer, he gently nudged Tim.

“Um…” Nodding, Tim glanced at them and asked softly, “Aren’t we going to wait for Ms. York?”

Benjamin answered his question, “Your mommy went to buy some oxtail soup.”

“That’s great!” Jasper and Oliver were elated.

Jesse also grinned. While she munched on the food, she exclaimed happily, “Oxtail soup is tastier than skewers!”

“Yeah! Oxtail soup is delicious. Tim, you should have a taste of it later!” shared Jasper with Tim excitedly.

“Eat up, Tim! You still have more food to eat later,” urged Oliver. “You don’t have to wait for Mommy. There’s more for her to eat when she comes back.”

Tim already wanted to eat it when he saw the rest eating so happily. When he lowered his head and took a bite, his eyes lit up.

“Is it delicious, Tim?” asked Gavin affectionately.

Tim glanced at him and nodded. “Yeah!”

“There’s still pork, meatball, tofu, squid, mutton, prawn…” listed Zachary enthusiastically, encouraging Tim to try each of them.

“Okay!” Tim nodded.

“Tim, do you like spicy or non-spicy food? This is spicy,” asked Jasper as he passed his skewer to Tim.

Tim’s eyes lit up. “I like spicy food!”

“Here!” Jasper passed a prawn to him.

“Thank you! I’m not done eating yet.”

Tim was holding three skewers—the most out of the other kids. Since the other kids only had one skewer each, he felt embarrassed.

“Eat up! It’s yummy when it’s hot!” said Oliver with a smile.

“Everything’s yummy when hot!” teased Zachary.

“Thank you, Ms. York!”

“You’re welcome. It’s tough on you to keep following us around.”

Arissa sat beside Jesse, leaving one seat between her and Benjamin.

“The oxtail soup is here, Sweethearts!”

When she opened the packet, the fragrance filled the air. Swallowing her saliva unconsciously, Arissa quickly picked up some meat and started eating.

“Yummy!”

Looking at how immersed she was in the food, Benjamin asked, “Is it that yummy?”

It’s oxtail! How can she possibly like it?

When Benjamin recalled what it was, he frowned in disdain.

Casting him a look, Arissa picked up a piece of oxtail meat. “You’d know that it’s delicious just by smelling it. Have a bite!”

She passed it to him.

Staring at it, Benjamin did not really want to eat it. However, Arissa was bold enough to place it beside his lips.

The fragrance drifted into his nose, tempting him greatly.
