Chapter 252 Let The Children Keep Him Company Arissa was relieved to hear the childrenâs happy voice and, at the same time, happy to hear that Darius liked the kids.
âI have something going on right now, so I canât go. Your daddyâs also not available, so weâre not having dinner with you guys. Weâre not going back either, so be nice and listen to your grandpa.â
âWhat happened, Mommy? Why arenât you guys coming home?â Zachary was astonished.
At the same time, Gavin also heard Zachary when he came over to call him.
Mommyâs not coming back?
âWhy arenât you coming home, Mommy?â Gavin asked as well.
âWe have a social event to attend, so I doubt we can go back. You guys wash up and rest early. Youâll definitely see me tomorrow morning.â
Arissa did not tell them Benjamin was hospitalized so they would not worry.
âThen donât drink too much at night, Mommy. Stay safe!â Zachary urged.
âDonât worry, Mommy. Weâll be going back after dinner,â Gavin said to Arissa.
Arissa smiled. âYou guys can stay there overnight. Thereâs no need to hurry back since weâre not there. Stay there and keep Grandpa company.
Tomorrowâs the weekend anyway, so spend some more time with him.â
Arissa figured it was a good idea since she was in the hospital and could not spend time with them.
So, instead of the children staying at home alone, it was better for them to spend time with Darius.
âOkay, Mommy!â Gavin nodded.
âMommy, Grandpaâs actually eager to see you. Itâs a shame that you canât make it. He asked the chef to make a lot of delicious food and even asked us what you like to eat!â Zachary told her.
Arissa smiled. âMaybe next time. Iâll pay him a visit when Iâm free. So, tell Grandpa that we canât join him for dinner because of the social event.â
Arissa did not expect Darius to want to meet her that quickly, so she was a little unprepared.
On top of that, Benjamin was still in the hospital, so there was no way she could leave.
At the very least, Benjamin needs to be there when we go and see his father. Besides, Benjamin has never even thought of bringing me to meet his parents, so itâd be inappropriate to meet his father out of the blue.
âOkay! Iâll go tell Grandpa right now!â
Zachary handed the phone to Gavin and ran over to Darius.
âGrandpa, my mommy, and Benjamin went to attend a social event. They wonât be able to make it back for dinner.â
âA social event?â
Darius was surprised to hear that. Doesnât he hate attending social events? What happened? Donât tell me the childrenâs mother is afraid to see me...
Darius laughed. It looks like my eagerness has scared my future daughter-in-law.
âNo worries, thereâs always next time!â
Zachary smiled and said, âYeah, Mommy said sheâll visit when she finds the time!â
âGreat!â Darius responded with a hearty laugh and ruffled the little boyâs head.
Gavin saw that and happily told Arissa, âMommy, Grandpa says you can come over next time for a meal!â
âSure!â
Arissa could actually hear Zachary since he was very loud.
âSweetheart, Mommy still got work to do, so go finish your dinner!â
âOkay! Bye, Mommy!â Gavin replied.
âBye, Sweetheart!â
Arissa gave her phone an audible kiss before finally ending the call.
Coincidentally, the bodyguards came back with food in their hands. âMs. York, your food is here.â
âOkay. Thank you!â Arissa nodded with a smile. âYou guys go eat as well.â
The More the Merrier ï¤Chapter 251 EX-husband Groveling to Me ï¤Chapter 730 Let Victor Shoot For You âWeâre still on duty right now. Weâll eat when we change shifts, so Iâll leave you to it, Ms. York. If you need anything, feel free to tell us. Weâll get it for you,â the bodyguard said before he went out.
âOkay!â
Arissa smiled. They have shifts?
After catching a whiff of the aroma from the food, her stomach started rumbling. So, Arissa quickly headed over to the coffee table and munched down the food in front of her.
Drawbridge Diningâs food is the best!
After that, Arissa let out a sigh of ineffable satisfaction as her stomach was thoroughly conquered by the delicious food.
At that moment, all those miserable memories of being ordered around got washed away as well.
