You More than Anything in the World (Arissa)

Chapter 567

“Hurry up! My arm is sore!” urged Arissa, sounding like she was whining. When Benjamin heard her soft voice, his mood improved and he actually took a bite.

“How is it? Is it yummy?” She moved closer and stared at him with an eager smile.

When Benjamin met her clear gaze, a glint flashed across his eyes.

He chewed slightly. The meat tasted extremely fresh, without any stench that he had expected.

That surprised him greatly. He had to admit that the oxtail tasted quite decent.

“It's not bad!”

Arissa laughed before giving him the rest of the meat. “Eat up!”

Sitting at the al-fresco seats, Benjamin ate the delicacies which he had never tried before.

Arissa placed a bowl of oxtail soup in front of the kids before giving them a serving each.

“Eat it while it's hot! Don't burn yourself!”

“Okay!”

The six kids nodded. With their lips oily from the food, they grinned in satisfaction.

Seeing the kids happy, Arissa felt happy too.

She continued eating with them. “What barbequed food did you order?”

“Chicken wings, eggs, beef, mutton, fish, prawn, chili, noodles, eggplant, corn... And Mommy's favorite oyster!” reported Jesse.

Looking at the kids, Arissa smiled and said, “You little glutton! Since you ordered so much, you aren't allowed to go home before you finish all the food!”

“Haha! Don't worry, Mommy. We'll finish everything. In fact, there might not be enough to go around!” promised Jasper with a pat on his chest.

Benjamin pulled out the chair in the middle and sat closer to them.

Arissa glanced at him. When she saw him eating attentively, she felt embarrassed. She thought that he wanted to sit closer to her.

Unable to control herself, she snuck a few more glimpses of him. He was eating slowly and elegantly.

Those were just normal street snacks, but it looked like he was an upper-class man dining at a luxurious restaurant.

Then, she glanced at the other kids. Except for Gavin who was eating as elegantly as Benjamin, the rest were just like her.

In comparison to the other two, they were much more brazen and devoured the food quickly.

Looks like the kids will have to change their dining habits slowly. It's obvious upon comparison.

“What are you looking at? Why aren't you eating?” Benjamin turned his head around and looked at her.

Arissa smiled. “It's nothing.”

Benjamin stared at her for a while before averting his gaze.

The food was soon served. The barbeque skewers and oxtail soup on the table had already been finished.

When Arissa saw that the kids were actually hungry, she ordered a few more servings.

“Tim, try all of them!”
