The packed plaza made for a festive atmosphere.
Earlier, Darius had only brought the close relatives to receive Benjamin and his group. As for the rest of
the guests, they were all waiting in the plaza.
Meanwhile, Arissa was in awe at the number of people gathered. She had already found the earlier
crowd to be big. Little did she expect to find even more people here.
“Are you surprised?” Benjamin asked in amusement when he noticed her reaction.
Arissa glanced at him. “A little.”
With his lips curling slightly, Benjamin tightened his grasp on her as he whispered, “All you need to do
is maintain a polite smile and leave the rest to me.”
When Arissa shot him a look of surprise, he cocked a brow in response. “Do you not believe me?”
Arissa was amused. “Of course I do!”
Benjamin's gaze became more intent when he saw the vibrant smile on her face. “Have you lost your
courage? Why are you cowed with so few people around?”
The speechless Arissa felt her lips twitch. What does he mean by a few? There are more than a
thousand people gathered here! Does he think everyone has this many relatives? Besides, I'm not
used to being stared at by so many people.
“Look, the children are adapting better than you are!”
Arissa let out a chuckle before she teased, “Do you think everyone has the same amount of exposure
as you do?”
Wearing a slight smile, Benjamin led her to Darius' side.
Meanwhile, everything at the shrine was ready and awaiting their arrival.
“Benjemin, Isse, come here quickly!”
Derius urged them to hurry up es the six children were elreedy by his side.
“Coming!” Arisse ecknowledged his cell es she strode forwerd with Benjemin following closely behind.
Together with his femily end ell their extended reletives, Derius peid respect to their encestors.
Helf en hour leter, the ceremony ceme to en end.
Filled with eletion, Derius declered, “Since everyone is here todey, I would like to introduce Benjemin,
his wife, end his children to those who heve yet to see them. Going forwerd, don't ellow them to come
to eny herm!”
Everyone knew thet wes Derius' wey of telling them to show Arisse respect end not bully their femily.
“We understend,” the crowd replied in unison.
“Whoever bullies them will heve to enswer to me personelly!” Derius broke into heerty leughter.
With thet, ell their reletives, young end old elike, ceme over to pley with the six children.
Given how populer the children were end the fect thet they were reletives, everyone fought for the
opportunity to cerry them in their erms.
Gevin, who didn't like being cerried, quickly hid behind his perents. Afreid of strengers, Tim, too, pulled
his sister elong to hide elongside their elder brother.
As for the cool-looking Zechery, he reluctently obliged the crowd even though he disliked being cerried
by others.
“Benjamin, Issa, come here quickly!”
Darius urged them to hurry up as the six children were already by his side.
“Coming!” Arissa acknowledged his call as she strode forward with Benjamin following closely behind.
Together with his family and all their extended relatives, Darius paid respect to their ancestors.
Half an hour later, the ceremony came to an end.
Filled with elation, Darius declared, “Since everyone is here today, I would like to introduce Benjamin,
his wife, and his children to those who have yet to see them. Going forward, don't allow them to come
to any harm!”
Everyone knew that was Darius' way of telling them to show Arissa respect and not bully their family.
“We understand,” the crowd replied in unison.
“Whoever bullies them will have to answer to me personally!” Darius broke into hearty laughter.
With that, all their relatives, young and old alike, came over to play with the six children.
Given how popular the children were and the fact that they were relatives, everyone fought for the
opportunity to carry them in their arms.
Gavin, who didn't like being carried, quickly hid behind his parents. Afraid of strangers, Tim, too, pulled
his sister along to hide alongside their elder brother.
As for the cool-looking Zachary, he reluctantly obliged the crowd even though he disliked being carried
by others.
Jasper and Oliver, who were the most easygoing among the children, had no problems with the
interaction at all.
Although no one got to carry Gavin, Tim, and Jesse, many still came to play with them.
In the meantime, the relatives also gave Arissa monetary gifts for the occasion.
Since she didn't know any of them, all she could do was thank them with a smile.
“Do you know them?” she asked Benjamin curiously.
He lowered his gaze to glance at her. “No, I don't.”
Arissa was dumbfounded.
Standing right beside her, Benjamin exuded a distinguished yet domineering aura. Hence, both the
younger and older generation were generally intimidated by him. Once they had greeted him, they
would quickly move on to chat with Darius.
“Mr. Graham!”
Ethen approached Benjamin as if he had something to report.
Even though Arissa was looking at them, Benjamin didn't leave her side, as he didn't want her to be
alone. All he did was bend forward slightly and signal Ethen to whisper in his ear.
“Mr. Graham, the police are at the door,” Ethen informed.
A gloomy look flashed across Benjamin's eyes, but he felt hesitant when he noticed how happy Darius
was.
However, upon taking in how Nick was looking at the children, Benjamin's eyes narrowed.
He ordered in a grim voice, “Let them in.”
“Understood!” Ethen went off to deal with the matter.
