Benjamin swept his gaze over Tim. “We’ll talk when you’re done eating.”

Tim hesitated for a moment before he continued eating.

As Benjamin crossed his legs, he pinned his gaze on the little boy and scrutinized him.

Sensing the man’s gaze, Tim turned and looked over. The instant he met the man’s eyes, he lowered his head once more.

At the hotel, Arissa had just finished showering and was planning to tuck the children into bed when she heard Jesse’s stomach growling.

“Are you hungry?”

She pinched the little girl’s cheeks indulgently.

In response, Jesse nodded.

“Yup! I’m hungry, Mommy!”

“Wait for a while. I’ll order some food up!”

Arissa then phoned the suite’s housekeeper and ordered some food to be delivered to the room.

The five children were ecstatic, cheering, “Yay! We’re having supper!”
