You More Than Anything In The World novel Chapter 151

Chapter 151 Takeaway

With regard to his meals, Gavin was just like his father. They were both picky eaters, and it was rare for Gavin to give a high review of any food.

Seeing Gavin’s expression, Edwin knew that the taste of the chicken pie must be divine. Unfortunately, Arissa had only made a few pieces of chicken pie. There was not enough made for him, so he could only stare in fascination at the food.

“Gav, is it good?”

Just by looking at his expression, Arissa knew that he loved it.

Gavin nodded and exclaimed, “Mommy, you’re a great cook! Everything you made tastes delicious!”

The corners of Arissa’s eyes crinkled as she beamed up at Gavin and ruffled his hair adoringly.

When she looked up, she saw Edwin staring unblinkingly at Gavin eating. He was almost drooling at the sight of the chicken pie.

Arissa chuckled and said, “Edwin, go ahead and try some.”

“It’s fine, Ms. York. You’re too kind… You can have it!” Edwin shook his head in embarrassment and declined her offer. It’s not proper for me to request food from my employer.

“Don’t worry, there’s another one left. You can have it!”

Arissa took the pie on her plate and handed it over to him.

“Ms. York, you can have it. I have already taken my breakfast!” Edwin was stunned and did not dare to move a muscle.

“I want to eat something else. Try this. Let me know how it tastes. If it’s good, I’ll make it again on another day.” Arissa handed it over to him once more.

Edwin sneaked a peek at Benjamin. Seeing that the latter was focused on his breakfast and not looking in their direction, he gathered his courage and approached Arissa. He took the food and said gratefully, “Thank you, Ms. York!”

“Thank Mr. Graham instead, I was able to cook this because of the ingredients that he bought!”

Arissa looked at Benjamin before sitting down.

Benjamin looked over at her and said, “My ingredients? In that case, why didn’t you take the initiative and invite me to eat?”

Arissa was stunned.

She did not dare to argue that Edwin had previously mentioned Benjamin’s preference for having a light breakfast. She hesitated to invite him, for the dishes she made were quite heavy.

Besides…

“This is your house. You can eat whatever you want. Why do you need my invitation? I’m not the owner here!” She pursed her lips in annoyance.

Benjamin lightly harrumphed. She has a way with words. I’ll give her that.

“You aren’t the owner, but you dare take away the food?” He could not help but joke.

Watching the two of them squabble, Edwin felt that the chicken pie in his hands was burning a hole through them, and a feeling of uneasiness filled his heart.

Gavin, however, was not affected by their squabble as he was happily devouring his chicken pie.

“In the future, remember to pack more food. I don’t want Gavin to be on an empty stomach!”

Gavin and Arissa were astonished by the change in his stance. They could not believe their ears and stared at Benjamin with their mouths agape, not knowing what to say.

Edwin snickered before hurriedly resuming a face of seriousness.

“Okay,” Arissa replied.

She had prepared a hearty breakfast, and Gavin relished the food. He was over the moon, having breakfast that his mother had specially prepared for him.

Benjamin was also very full. He did not foresee that Arissa would have such a flair for cooking. Unknowingly, he had stuffed his stomach to the extent he felt a little bloated.

After breakfast, Arissa and Benjamin sent Gavin to school together. The three of them sat in the back of the car, looking very much like a family.

Benjamin sat aside looking at work documents. Nobody dared to raise their voices.

Arissa brought Gavin aside and spoke softly to him. Her voice was gentle and pleasant to the ears.

“Gav, Mommy will return to my house to stay tonight.”

“Mommy, you’re not going to stay with us anymore?”

Gavin was shocked, and his brows furrowed in worry.

Previously, Mommy was in danger. If she doesn’t stay with us now, won’t she be in more danger?
