You More Than Anything In The World

Chapter 1109

CHAPTER 1109 HE SAID THAT I WAS USELESS

Soon, the children were carrying bowls of soup from the dining room into the living room.

“Watch yourselves!” Arissa reminded them.

When Ethen came out of the bathroom and saw what was going on, he hurried over and helped the children with the soup.

Unfortunately, he could only carry two. Hence, Arissa turned around and instructed Benjamin, “Go help them before they burn themselves!”

Benjamin gave her a look before putting down the bowl in his hand and doing as he was told.

In the end, only Gavin and Tim were carrying their own bowls of soup.

“Wait a moment and be careful not to scald yourself!” Benjamin reminded them before putting down the soups he was carrying.

“I'll be careful, Mr. Graham.” Together with Gavin, Tim carried his soup to the living room slowly.

Meanwhile, Ethen moved faster than Benjamin did. After putting down Jasper's and Oliver's soups, he swiftly returned to help the other two.

“Why aren't you eating in the dining room and coming here instead?” Benjamin swept his gaze across the children's faces.

The children stuck their tongues out innocently as they answered in unison, “We want to eat with Mommy!”

Just as they spoke, they fought amongst themselves to sit right next to Arissa.

Her heart melted at the scene, and she reached out her hands to hug them all. “Quick, drink your soups!”

“Okay!” Only then did the children sit around the coffee table to drink their soup.

Previously, Benjamin frowned upon eating outside the dining room. Now that the children were huddled together, not only did he not disapprove of the idea but also found the scene to be particularly heart- warming.

“Move aside!” Benjamin pulled Gavin up so that he could sit beside Arissa.

The fuming Gavin glared at him. “How can you do this, Daddy?”

Despite his son's complaint, Benjamin continued feeding Arissa as if he was oblivious to it.

Breaking into a smile, Arissa pulled Gavin into her arms. “Let me hug you.”

Leaning against Arissa's knees, Gavin gloated in Benjamin's direction. “Hehe!”

Benjamin gave him the side-eye and spoke in a serious tone. “If you drink your soup sitting that way, you'll spill it over Mommy and scald her!”

Blinking his eyes, Gavin quickly grasped the logic in Benjamin's words. Thus, he turned around and said to Arissa, “Mommy, I'll sit to the side or I might spill hot soup on you that way.”

“You won't” Arissa tightened her hug over him as she began to feed him soup.

“I'll feed you, Sweetheart.”

Gavin eyes sparkled, and he opened his mouth in delight.

As for the other five children, they couldn't help feeling envious.

Unfortunately, it was clear that Arissa could only have one child sitting in her arms. Left without a choice, they resigned themselves to drinking their respective soups.

Benjamin had no choice but to allow her to pamper the children however she wanted. After he was done feeding her a bowl of soup, he went off to get a refill.

“Mr. Graham, let me get it for you.” Ethen came over to take the bowl from Benjamin's hands.

“If you're hungry, you should get a bowl for yourself too,” Benjamin suggested to Ethen, who nodded in response.

“Sure!”

Ethen scurried off to the kitchen to refill Arissa's bowl before going back again to get one for himself.

Inside the living room, the family of eight ate together in a heartwarming scene. Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

Meanwhile, the dejected Julian returned to an empty home.

“Mr. Graham, I'm surprised to see you back so early,” the butler remarked at the sight of him.

“Why can't I come back early?” Julian snapped at the butler.

“It's not that—” the butler tried to explain but decided to hold his tongue when he noticed Julian's gloomy expression.

At that moment, a sound was heard from the door. Crystal Mallory, Julian's mother, had returned home.

“Julian, have you seen Benjamin? What did he say?”

When Crystal came up to Julian and noticed the glum look on his face, the answer became obvious.

“Mom, don't mention that name in front of me. We're not family to him, and he even called me useless!” Julian railed.

His anger had yet to dissipate ever since he returned from the Graham residence.
