The More the Merrier novel Chapter 741

Chapter 741 Prepare Lunch For Benjamin

Arissa only sent the kids back to school after lunch. “Sweethearts, call me if there’s anything. Understand?” The six children nodded in acknowledgment.

“Don’t worry, Mommy. The bodyguards and Mr. William will protect us!” Gavin also chimed in, “I can fight, too!” Arissa bobbed her head and tidied the children’s clothes before bidding goodbye to them. “I’ll pick you guys up after school later!” “Okay. Goodbye, Mommy!”

Learning that they would be able to see Arissa again in the afternoon, the six children were over the moon. They no longer felt torturous having to endure another few hours in school.

Arissa waved at them and waited till they disappeared from her sight before she headed back to the company. Upon arrival, she went to the top floor to look for Benjamin, intending to talk to him regarding the children’s matters. However, there was no one around in the office.

Arissa was stunned for a moment. Where did he go? Ethen isn’t around too. Just as she turned and headed toward her office, she ran into Benjamin, who happened to step out of the elevator. “You’re back?”

Benjamin grunted a cursory response that had a tinge of exhaustion to it. Arissa glanced at him before sweeping her gaze toward Ethen, who was following behind.

Seeing that, Ethen immediately answered, “Ms. York, Mr. Graham hasn’t eaten lunch yet.”

Initially, Arissa wanted to ask what they had been busy with, but it did not take long for her to change her mind. “You probably haven’t eaten too, right? Let me get the cafeteria to whip something up for you guys then.”

With that, she hurried off to prepare lunch for them. Even though Ethen felt touched by Arissa’s action, he could vividly sense Benjamin’s piercing glare cast in his direction. He tactfully decided to return to his office.

“Mr. Graham, have a good meal later. I’ll get back to work first!”

Benjamin merely snorted lightly. Returning to his office, the man removed his coat and hung it on the chair before taking a shower in the lounge.

At the cafeteria, Arissa got a worker to prepare two plates of chicken alfredo pasta. She also grabbed some snacks before going up to Benjamin’s office. “Lunch is ready, Mr. Graham.”

Arissa fixed her gaze on him. “Yes. The kids and I. I went to the school to look for them and just came back not too long ago.” Benjamin nodded. “Have they gotten used to school?”

Unwilling to discuss such a worrying issue with him during mealtime, she uttered, “Eat your pasta first. We’ll talk later!”

The man shot her a look. “Eat with me.” “But I ate a lot just now.” Arissa stared at him. Instead of replying to her, Benjamin lowered his head and began digging in.

Contrarily, Arissa glued her eyes to that plate of pasta before her, contemplating if she should eat it. I really ate a lot just now. I’ve even eaten everything those kids couldn’t finish. And it hasn’t even been thirty minutes!

However, unwilling to see the food go to waste, she eventually held her head low and started shoving it into her mouth. Benjamin lifted his head, swung his gaze to her briefly, and continued eating his pasta.

He never liked pasta, but now, he found that it was not too bad, after all. It was warm and comforting to the stomach. “Eat more of it. It’s good for your stomach,” Arissa casually remarked.
