Chapter 649 A Warm Welcome

Benjamin furrowed his brows as he followed Arissa out of the bathroom. But instead of going to the dining room, he turned and went into the bathroom next door.

She chuckled when she saw that. Hearing the sound of chatter and laughter coming from the dining room, she hurried over there.

Kingsley, Shaun, and Ethen were inside the room already.

When the six children saw her, they called out excitedly. “Mommy!”

“Ms. York!”

Arissa murmured an acknowledgment in an affectionate tone.

Edwin drew out a chair near the head of the table and motioned for her to sit down. “Please sit here, Ms. York.”

The kids were also sitting on the same side of the table as her.

After taking her seat, she glanced at the table laden with delicious dishes. It was evident that Edwin had put in a lot of effort as the food looked just like what one would expect to find at a five-star hotel.

Edwin proceeded to instruct the help to serve the soup.
