The More the Merrier novel Chapter 860

Chapter 860 The Actual Identity Of Jesse

Frowning, Benjamin glared at Arissa through the rearview mirror. “Why are you laughing when I’m talking to you?” Arissa hurriedly stifled her laughter and turned to look at the man. “Actually, Benjamin, Jesse is—”

Before she could finish speaking, she was interrupted by the ringing of a phone. It was Benjamin’s phone. With his eyes pinned on the traffic ahead, Benjamin ordered lowly, “Help me see who’s calling.”

Arissa glanced at him. Seeing that he had to drive, she twisted her body around and picked up the phone at the center console. “It’s a call from Mr. Watts,” she reported after taking a glimpse at the caller ID.

“Decline the call!” Benjamin showed no hesitance at all. At that, amusement crept over Arissa. “Perhaps he wants to ask you for the restaurant’s location.”

“Would he not know the location when he was the one who made the reservations?” Snorting, Benjamin placed his entire focus on driving since the traffic was rather heavy right then.

As he refused to take the call, Arissa could only decline it and set the phone back down. No sooner had she done so than Kingsley called again.

Benjamin happened to stop at a traffic light, so he snagged the phone and answered the call, bringing it to his ear. “What is it?” “Boss, Aaron wants to join us for dinner!” Kingsley’s voice drifted over the line.

Arissa stole a peek at Benjamin, noticing that he stilled for a moment before murmuring, “Got it.” “When are you all coming? I’ve been here for a while now, but I still see no signs of any of you. How lackadaisical! Don’t tell me you’re going back on your word to foot the bill?” Kingsley griped loudly.

“We’ll be arriving in a moment!” After replying, Benjamin hung up the phone. Arissa furtively glanced at him before casting her eyes out the window. “I wonder whether Mr. Bailey and the kids are following behind us.”

She could still see the car earlier, but it had disappeared then. Benjamin swept his gaze over her. “They’re in the second car behind us.” Turning, Arissa looked out the rear windshield. Alas, she still couldn’t see anything.

“Yup!” After parking, Benjamin climbed out of the vehicle first. He swiftly rounded the car and opened the passenger door for Arissa.

“Be careful,” he urged. Murmuring an acknowledgment, Arissa bent down and alighted from the car. She turned her gaze to the quaint restaurant. Well, I’m pretty fond of this place. The food here is great, too.

Darting her eyes around, she saw that Shaun and the children’s car had also arrived alongside the bodyguards’ car. The two of them stood at the entrance and waited for the children.

“This way, please, Mr. Graham!” “A moment, please.” Inclining his head slightly, Benjamin wrapped an arm around Arissa and waited for the children.

In no time, the six children got out of the car. The instant the doorman spotted an additional child, his eyes almost popped out of his head. Huh? How many kids exactly does Mr. Graham have?

At the sight of the sextuplets’ exquisite features, he went green with envy. “Mommy!” All six children trotted toward Arissa.
