The More The Merrier Chapter 283

Chapter 283 Did You Call Me Weak

“You’re done eating?” Arissa, who had just had a bowl of soup, looked at him and asked.

“I’m full!” Benjamin had eaten quite a lot.

“How about another bowl of mushroom soup? It’s good for you since you are weak.”



All of a sudden, the man shot a sullen glare at Arissa.

She wondered why he gave her that look. “What’s with that look? Come, another bowl of soup for you. Eat more!

Be a man!”

She took over his bowl and filled it with soup.

Edwin, who was still observing them from a distance, turned around and giggled.

“Be a man? Do you mean I’m not a man?” Benjamin’s expression turned grim. “And did you just call me weak?”

What a humiliating way to doubt a man.



Arissa finally realized why he got mad. She immediately opened her mouth to defend herself. “Come on, don’t be

so sensitive. It was just a casual remark. Don’t take it to heart.”

She continued, “I didn’t mean to say you’re weak. You were admitted to the hospital and given an injection, weren’t

you? I only want you to drink more soup so that you can boost your system with nutrients, that’s all. It’s up to you if

you still want another bowl.”



Arissa noticed the man still had a grim expression on his face. Instead of clarifying what she said earlier, she

swallowed the fluid lodged in her throat, lowered her head, and continued with her lunch.

Yum! Edwin is such a good cook. I’ll not let these dishes go to waste!

Benjamin looked away and continued drinking the mushroom soup.

Arissa peeked at him and could not help but chuckle in her heart.

Didn’t he say he is full?

After finishing the bowl of soup, Benjamin said, “Enjoy your lunch!”

He then stood up, left the dining area, and went upstairs.



“Mr. Graham has never eaten so much in his life! He usually eats a small portion, and that’s it,” Edwin said with a

grin.

Arissa was surprised to learn that. “Just a small plate?”

He seems to eat more than a plate in front of me though.

“Yeah. Maybe your presence here had whetted his appetite?”

Upon hearing that, Arissa instantly blushed. “Stop teasing me, Edwin.”

“Gavin also eats a lot when he’s with you, right?” Edwin smiled.

“Have you taken your lunch? If not, come and join me. I can’t finish these all by myself.” Arissa tried to divert his

attention.

“Don’t worry about me. I ate something just now.” Edwin then went to the kitchen to clean things up.

Arissa grinned. I wonder if the kids had had their lunch.

She gave Gavin a video call, but he did not answer.

Is he having his afternoon nap?

She immediately ended the call.

Arissa then continued with her lunch while scrolling her phone.

Meanwhile, Benjamin, who had just taken his bath, came downstairs and noticed she was still eating.

He called, “Arissa!”

Arissa turned around and froze for a moment when their gaze met.

“Stop playing with your phone. Finish your food, quick!” Benjamin reprimanded her before entering the study.

At first, she wanted to defend herself but eventually gave in. She put down her phone and focused on finishing the

food on her plate.

What’s wrong with me playing with my phone? There’s no one around me to talk to anyway!

What a domineering man!

Edwin chuckled from a distance. It looks like Mr. Graham had started behaving like an ordinary man now.

It took Arissa another thirty minutes to settle her lunch.

She had finished a big portion of the dishes on the dining table. “Thanks for the meal! It’s delicious!”



Edwin smiled at her and said, “Go and take a rest. I’ll clean these up later.”

“Let me help you!”

When she was about to pick up one of the plates from the table, Edwin went up to stop her. “Don’t worry about it.

You still have to cook for Mr. Graham tonight. Go and get some rest!”

Edwin cleaned up the table as quickly as possible, as he did not want Arissa to help him.

“Thanks, Edwin.”

Edwin responded, “You’re welcome, Ms. York.”

Arissa then left the dining area. As she was walking by the study, she peeped into the room and asked, “Aren’t you

gonna take a break?”

Benjamin lifted his head to look at her. “I’m still busy!”

Arissa nodded. “Have you taken your medicine?”
