The More The Merrier Chapter 423

Chapter 423 The Meal Prepared By Darius

“Mommy, he must still be waiting for us. We will find him eventually,” Zachary put away his own feelings of sadness

and consoled his mother.

Arissa looked at her son as she replied softly, “Yeah, you’re right.”

After going down the stairs, she called out to her other children, “Sweethearts, come on, let’s have dinner!”

“Mommy!” Jesse ran toward her and hugged her leg.

Arissa stroked her hair. “What’s the matter?”

Zachary signaled to his sister not to leak the secret.

“Mommy, I’m hungry…” Jesse pouted.

Arissa laughed softly at that. She then took her daughter’s hand and led her toward the dining room. “Come on,

let’s go and fill up your little tummy right now.”

“Issa, bring the kids over. It’s time for dinner!” Darius took off his apron and greeted Arissa cordially.

“Got it!” she responded cheerfully.

“Mommy, let’s wash our hands before we eat!” Gavin reminded Arissa.

“Sure.” Arissa led the five kids to wash their hands.

“Benjamin, it’s time for dinner!”

From the dining room, Darius yelled in the direction of the study.

Shaun had already gone to get Benjamin, but when he saw that the man was busy, he waited for a while.

“Benjamin, it’s time to eat.”

“Yeah, got it,” Benjamin replied before he packed his things and got up from his seat.

“You know, I saw Gavin and the others in a bad mood earlier. I’m not sure if it’s because of hunger or something

else,” Shaun casually informed him.

Benjamin tilted his head and looked at him. “Wasn’t Arissa together with them?”

“No. When I told them it was meal time just now, they said Arissa was upstairs.”

Shaun followed Benjamin out of the study.

They just happened to see Arissa coming out with the five kids after washing their hands.



Benjamin studied the faces of Arissa and the five children and noticed the sullen look on Arissa.

He frowned. “Are you still not feeling well?”

Arissa stiffened and replied, “I’m fine. Go wash your hands, Old Mr. Graham said it’s time for dinner.”

“You go ahead first,” Benjamin replied and went with Shaun to wash up before going to the dining hall.

The five children sat down with Arissa.

When Darius saw them, he urged, “Come, it’s time to eat!”

He then pulled out the seat at the head of the table and sat down.

When Benjamin saw there was no space left on Arissa’s side, he went to sit on the chair that was on Darius’ left

side, and opposite Arissa.

Shaun sat next to him.

“All right. Let’s start!”

As Darius spoke, he picked up his spoon and served some food to Arissa. Then, he served his five grandchildren as

well.

“Thank you, Old Mr. Graham,” Arissa said.

“Don’t mention it. Hurry up and dig in,” Darius said adoringly. He was in bliss seeing all his grandchildren present at

the table.

“Grandpa, since you’re the one who prepared the meal, you should be the first to eat!”

All five children started serving food to Darius and then to Arissa.

Seeing how filial his grandchildren were, Darius beamed from ear to ear. “Sure, I’ll start digging in then!”

He picked up his fork and took a mouthful of food before he urged the others to start.

“Go ahead and eat. The food will taste different once it gets cold. Issa, you too. Try it and see if the dishes suit your

taste!”

Still grinning, Darius looked at Arissa expectantly.

Arissa smiled and swept her gaze at the spread of sumptuous dishes on the table.

“Old Mr. Graham, did you really cook all these? Your cooking skills are pretty good!”

Darius was delighted to hear that and he smiled, saying, “Well, don’t just look at it. The most important thing is that

it tastes good when you eat it!”



As he spoke, he placed another piece of steak on her plate.

She took a bite of the food. Nodding, she affirmed, “It tastes great! Old Mr. Graham, your culinary skills are

amazing!”

Darius laughed aloud. “Since it’s good, you should eat more. Look at you, you’re so slim! It’s no wonder you are

malnourished. You need to eat more to keep your body healthy, you hear?”

He proceeded to pile more food onto her plate.

Seeing how her plate was getting full to the brim with food, Arissa looked at Benjamin who was seated opposite her.

However, the man was engrossed in eating and paid no attention to those around him. Left without a choice, she

had to try and stop Darius herself.

“That’s too much, Old Mr. Graham. I can’t possibly finish all that.”
