Chapter 756 I Can Have Red Wine With You
“There won’t be any time left by the time I finish my work.” Benjamin walked out of the study. Arissa glanced at the
time and wondered whether the children had bathed.
No sooner had they gone out than the six children ran over from the dining room. “Mommy, Mr. Graham, it’s time
for supper!”
“Let’s have supper, Mommy!” “Let’s have supper, Ms. York!”
“Let’s have supper, Mr. Graham!” “Mommy, Mr. Graham, hurry up!”
“Mommy, Daddy, let’s have supper together!” All six of them called out to the couple in unison. Arissa beamed
widely upon seeing that they had all bathed. “I thought you all hadn’t bathed!”
“We know exactly what to do, Mommy!” Zachary exclaimed with a grin. As Arissa led them to the dining room, she
turned and called out to Benjamin, “Are you eating?”
After having been busy for a while, she was indeed a touch hungry. “Yeah.”
Benjamin gave her a look and brought the children to the dining room as well. The children were over the moon to
see that they were all having supper together. Oliver, Jasper, and Jesse chattered nonstop about the delicious food
that Edwin made.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAs the two of them went over, they were greeted by the sight of a tableful of scrumptious food. Arissa was
delighted. “Everything looks yummy! Was this all prepared by Edwin?”
“Yeah,” Benjamin muttered. Carrying the children, he plopped them onto the chairs before pulling out a chair for
the woman. “Sit down and eat!”
Arissa sat down and ate with them. Edwin then brought out a plate of barbecue skewers. The instant he spotted
Benjamin there, he was startled for a moment. “I added a bit of chili pepper to this.”
He specifically added it because he knew that Arissa loved eating spicy foods. “Thank you, Edwin! I love this!”
Getting up from her seat, Arissa took it from him. “Don’t bustle around anymore, Edwin. Sit down and eat with us!”
Edwin merely chucked. “You all go ahead. I’ll go and get the milkshakes.”

“Wow, you even prepared milkshake?”
Arissa was pleasantly surprised. In response, Edwin nodded. “Yup! The atmosphere won’t be right if there’s no
milkshake during supper!”
Arissa smiled from ear to ear and praised his cooking skills to the skies. “Edwin, the supper you prepare tastes
better than those prepared by professional chefs! They taste amazing!”
Edwin laughed heartily. “I’m glad you like it, Mrs. Graham!”
Benjamin glanced at them. When he saw Arissa beaming at the man, he frowned imperceptibly. Does she smile like
that at any man?
“Don’t talk while you’re eating!” he snapped.
Having been called out, Arissa curled her lips.
“Supper is to be eaten while chatting!”
“Yeah, Mr. Graham. Supper is usually paired with beer,” Jasper seconded.
Arissa’s eyes lit up. She turned to Benjamin. “How about some beer, Graham?”
Benjamin gazed at her long and hard. “If you want to drink, I can have some red wine with you.”
He loathed the fact that one hiccupped after drinking beer.
Arissa flashed him a sheepish smile. “Never mind, then. Red wine is too high-class.”
In truth, she was mainly afraid that she would end up drunk after imbibing.
I’ve still got to wake up early tomorrow to bring the kids to the hospital to visit Grandaunt. If I oversleep, there
wouldn’t be enough time.

Arissa cast a look at him.
At the sight of the smile on his face that rendered him handsome beyond words, her heartbeat inexorably
accelerated.
“Okay.”
She averted her gaze and focused on eating the barbecue skewers.
When Benjamin noticed the red marks staining the corners of her lips, his gaze darkened a shade.
“You’re having such spicy food?”
Blinking, Arissa smacked her lips.
“It isn’t spicy. Try one, and you’ll know. It only appears spicy.”
She instinctively handed him a barbecue skewer, but she suddenly remembered that he suffered from gastric.
Immediately, she retracted her hand.
Benjamin had already stretched out a hand to take it, so embarrassment swamped him when she did that.
“Your stomach is easily upset, so you’d better not eat such a thing.”
Benjamin quirked an eyebrow. “That only happens occasionally.”
Arissa shot him a sidelong glance. “Even if you’re feeling fine now, you can’t simply eat whatever you please!”
Benjamin’s gaze flickered, and he replied in a low voice, “Okay.”
His rich baritone voice carried a hint of joy.
