Chapter 881 He Is Still Waiting
Oliver blinked his eyes and looked at Benjamin. “For real, Mr. Graham?”
Benjamin nodded in response. “That’s awesome!” The little boy cheered excitedly. “Then
that’s a promise!” “Yes.” Benjamin nodded lovingly.
The six children were over the moon at the promise and could not wait for tomorrow night
to arrive. Arissa wrapped her arms around them and patted their heads.
Upon returning home, the six kids hurriedly got out of the car as soon as the door was
opened. “Mommy, Daddy, hurry!” Gavin shouted.
Arissa said, “You guys head in first. Go and see if your grandpa is still up waiting for you.”
“Okay!” Gavin nodded and led his brothers and sister into the house.
In the meantime, Arissa helped Benjamin up, to which Benjamin said, “I’m fine.”
Bending forward, he got out of the car and began tugging her toward the house.
Arissa, however, turned back to look as she knew that Kingsley and the others were right
behind them.
“Are we not going to wait for them?”
“No. It’s not like this is their first time here,” Benjamin murmured before turning her face

Arissa chuckled.
As soon as they entered the house, Arissa smiled after hearing the happy chatter between
the grandfather and grandchildren.
“Dad is still awake.”
“Yeah. He’s usually still awake at this hour!” Benjamin uttered before bringing her in.
“Dad,” Benjamin greeted, and so did Arissa.
Upon hearing that, Darius was delighted as it was very rare for Benjamin to address him in
such a calm manner. At that, he couldn’t help but smile. “You’re back.”
“Yup!” Arissa replied with a smile.
Benjamin then led Arissa to the couch before they sat down together.
“Seems like you’ve had quite a few glasses of wine.”
“Just a few.” Benjamin looked toward his father and said, “Why are you still here at this
hour? Were you waiting for us?”
“Bah! I’ve got nothing better to do at home, so I figured I might as well stay for a bit,”
Darius replied while playing with the kids.
He had Jesse in his lap and was feeding her.
At the sight of this, Benjamin’s gaze flickered. He wondered why the old man preferred
Jesse over the others every time.
“Jesse, have some fruits. They’re good for your skin!” Darius delivered some grapes to
Jesse.
“Thank you, Grandpa!” Jesse thanked with a tender voice.
“You all have some as well!” Darius shouted toward Tim and the rest.
“Thank you, Grandpa!” The other five kids nodded and thanked him in unison before
enjoying the fruits.
Darius looked toward the kids with a lovely smile. “So, what did you have for dinner? Did
you fill your tummies?”
Hearing that, the six children started chattering happily and shared their stories with the
elderly man, allowing Benjamin and Arissa to sit at the side and enjoy a moment of peace.
A short moment later, Kingsley and the rest arrived.
“Boss, let’s go! Bring out your precious wine! Today is a special day, a day that we must
celebrate!” Kingsley hollered.

“Aren’t you the same?” Kingsley refuted.
On the other hand, Darius turned around. After noticing they were staggering, he said,
“You’re already so drunk, yet you still want to drink?”
Hearing his voice, Kingsley and the rest stood up straight and greeted, “Old Mr. Graham!”
“Have a seat.” Darius smiled.
With that, they all sat at the side and made sure to mind their manners.
Right then, Arissa delivered some fruits to them and said, “Here, have some.”
Kingsley took it upon himself to take over the plate and invite the rest to have some of the
fruits. They were so comfortable here it was as if they were back in their own houses.
In the meantime, Darius glanced at them and asked, “Where’s Aaron?”
“He left a long time ago.” Kingsley twitched his mouth, not wanting to bring up that
incident again as it would only ruin the mood.
“Grandpa, Mr. Aaron’s sister was there with us just now, but she shamelessly stared at
Daddy the whole time!” Gavin explained what had happened to Darius.
Darius’ eyes darkened upon hearing that. He hurriedly looked toward Benjamin and Arissa
and, after realizing they showed no abnormal emotions, heaved a sigh of relief.
