Feeding Her
Benjamin pursed his lips. Is this a problem about me being too petty? If she’s so considerate toward
others, why isn’t she considerate toward me?
In the next second, Benjamin whipped out his phone and paid the bill.
Staring at him, Arissa teased deliberately, “Mr. Graham, do you want me to transfer the money back to
you?”
“There’s no need for that,” rebuked Benjamin solemnly as he glared at her.
Arissa laughed in amusement. “Thank you for your treat, then, Mr. Graham!”
Benjamin pinched her cheeks.
“You’ll have to treat me back next time.”
The corners of Arissa’s lips twitched.
After the food was all packed, Benjamin gestured at it. “Aren’t you getting it?”
Arissa was speechless.
She picked up the ten servings of barbeque and took a sniff at it.
“D*mn, that smells good! I can’t wait to eat it!”
A smile played on Benjamin’s lips when he saw how eager she was.
“What do you want to eat first?”
“Squid!” blurted Arissa.
She then glanced at the squid that the stall was selling before leaving with the food.
Benjamin took a bag from her, picked up some squid, and placed it beside her mouth.
Arissa shot him a glance before opening her mouth and taking a bite.
She exclaimed in satisfaction, “How yummy!”
Upon seeing how she seemed to find everything she ate delicious, Benjamin was curious about
whether it actually tasted good.
Just when he raised his hand to have a bite, Arissa urged him, “Hurry up! I want another bite!”
Benjamin’s hand froze mid-air. He then changed the trajectory of his hand and moved the squid to her
mouth again.
Taking a bite of the squid’s tentacles, Arissa closed her eyes with a smile, clearly savoring the food.
When Benjamin spotted the sauce at the corners of her lips, he searched his pocket. However, he
realized that he did not bring his handkerchief.
Just when he was about to raise his hand to wipe it for her, Arissa licked her lips clean.
Benjamin’s gaze landed on the pink tip of her tongue, and a glint flashed across his eyes.
When Arissa noticed his passionate stare, she was embarrassed. “I-I’ll bring this to them!”
As she spoke, she ran toward the kids.
Benjamin snorted softly and followed behind her.
“Sweethearts, have some barbeque!”
The kids cheered happily when they saw her rushing over with her hands filled with food.
“Thank you, Mommy!”
“Haha! There’s no need to thank me,” said Arissa with a smile.
She glanced at Benjamin and explained, “Your daddy’s the one who bought it.”
The five children, including Darius, Kingsley, and Shaun, looked at Benjamin.
“Thank you, Mr. Graham!” chorused the five children before taking the food from Arissa’s hands.
“Come on! Everyone has a share!”
Arissa passed the food out to everyone. When there was only one serving left, she started eating it.
Benjamin was holding onto his own portion of food.
“Benjamin, I didn’t expect you to buy food from such eateries!” teased Shaun with a grin.
Kingsley joined in on the fun. “We can only eat this because of Mrs. Graham. Otherwise, we’d never
have the chance to eat it.”
Ignoring them, Benjamin walked toward Arissa. “Do you still want your squid?”
Darius burst out laughing when he saw Benjamin’s serious expression.
Arissa took it, feeling embarrassed. “I have some squid here. Do you want it?”
“No. You can have it.”
Benjamin did not even eat the barbeque that he was holding.
The five children glanced at Benjamin, who returned their stares. “Do you want some drinks?”
They blinked.
“Of course, we want some drinks. Do you even have to ask?” Gavin scoffed.
Benjamin glanced at the children and passed his barbeque over. “Here. Take this. I’ll go and buy us
some drinks.”
Gavin looked at his father for a while before walking over and taking the food.
He then said haughtily, “I want milk tea!”
Zachary chimed in, “I want lemonade.”
Oliver said, “I want strawberry milk tea!”
Jasper added, “I want melon milk tea!”
Jesse joined in softly, “I want apple milk tea!”
Benjamin glanced at the children before looking at Arissa. “Would you like to have milk tea as well?”
She nodded. “I’d like a strawberry milk tea too!”
Shaun and Kingsley automatically gave their orders as well.
Kingsley said, “I’d like a mango milk tea.”
Shaun chimed in, “Same for me!”
Smiling, Darius said to Benjamin, “I want one with grass jelly inside.”
Benjamin was speechless.
With that, he left to buy some milk tea. Other than the kids and Arissa who wanted milk tea, he got the
other three adults plain water.
As for the milk tea, they were all of the same flavor—strawberry.
