The More The Merrier Chapter 699

The Lunch Appointment Became A Date

After explaining things to Arissa, Jonathan got up to leave. “Enjoy your meal. I have to go back to the
office to sort out the details. See you.”

Arissa jumped to her feet. “Come and eat with us, Mr. Patterson! It won’t take much time.” “It’s fine.
Work is more important.” The man cast a glance at Benjamin before nodding at her and walking away
with his briefcase.

Arissa was bewildered. But it’s lunchtime! Doesn’t he need to eat?

“Sit down.” Benjamin’s brows puckered into a frown when he tilted his head to look at her, only to find
her looking outside the window.

Meeting his dark gaze, Arissa could somewhat tell that he was not too pleased.

“Weren’t we supposed to have lunch with him? Why did he leave?”

“Didn’t you hear what he said? He’s busy,” Benjamin stated, obviously not caring whether or not
Jonathan was going to eat lunch.

Soon, the dishes arrived.

“Let’s eat.”

Seeing him begin to eat, Arissa could only do the same.

It was not long until the woman’s eyes shone with delight. She looked especially pleased.

The food here is really good!



Benjamin’s eyes twinkled at the sight of how lovely the woman looked enjoying her food.

She looks so relaxed whenever she eats.

“Do you like the food?” he asked tenderly.

“Yeah!”

Arissa nodded while continuing to stuff her face, paying no attention to her aching wound.

Benjamin placed some side dishes on her plate.

The woman glanced up at him. “You should eat too.”

“I will. Slow down! Don’t hurt your lip again.”

Arissa’s face fell. She would not have noticed the pain on her lip if he had not mentioned it.

“Okay.”

Her phone suddenly rang as she continued eating. A feeling of guilt washed over her when she
realized who was calling her.

“Gavin’s calling.”

Benjamin smirked upon noticing her flustered expression.

He took the woman’s phone and answered it for her.

“Hi, Mommy. Mr. Whitley said you went out for lunch with Daddy?”

Arissa grew frantic when she heard the child’s voice.



“Your mommy’s with me now. What’s the matter?” Benjamin asked solemnly.

The boy at the other end of the line fell silent for a moment before replying, “I was just asking. Since
you’re taking Mommy out for lunch, you’d better take her somewhere nice.”

Benjamin arched a brow. “Your mommy’s already eating.”

Arissa’s lips twitched. Then, she glared at him and exclaimed at the phone, “I had something to discuss
with Daddy, Sweetheart! That’s why we’re having lunch together!”

“What are you two discussing, Mommy?” Gavin asked earnestly.

“Stop being nosy,” Benjamin responded in a deep voice.

“Give me back my phone!”

Arissa snatched her phone back.

“I just met up with a lawyer, Sweetheart,” she explained the situation to Gavin gently.

“Was it Mr. Patterson?”

“Yes, but he left without having lunch with us. I’ll be heading back to the hospital once I’m done, okay?
Has your grandpa arrived?”

“He just did. He’s walking out of the elevator now,” Gavin answered.

Coincidentally, his grandfather appeared at that very moment, so the boy informed his mother.

“Okay.” Arissa smiled, recalling that Darius had just left home when she called him prior.



“Enjoy your meal, Mommy. We’re about to have lunch too,” the boy exhorted seriously before bidding
her goodbye. “Bye, Mommy!”

“Okay. Bye, Sweetheart! Muahh!”

The woman even kissed her son through the phone, and the boy returned the gesture before hanging
up.

Benjamin’s expression darkened as he saw how affectionate Arissa was with the boy.

Noticing his gaze, she turned to him and put her phone down. “What’s wrong?”

“Do you always do that when you’re on the phone?”

The man was curious and despondent at the same time. She always sounds like she can’t wait to hang
up whenever we talk on the phone.

“Do what?” Arissa asked as she continued eating.

“The goodbye kisses.” Benjamin’s gaze was intense.

Arissa tittered. “Yeah. Is there a problem with that?”

His eyes gleamed as he stared into her dazzling eyes.
