Chapter 753 Or Are You Unwilling Seeing that Arissa and the children were all enjoying the steak, Benjamin eyed the plate of garlic butter steak. âGive me a piece.â
Arissa cast a look at him. âI thought you donât eat minced garlic?â At that, Benjamin swept a sharp gaze over her. âDidnât you make it for me?â
Warmth suffused Arissa, and she took a piece of steak for him. âDonât force yourself if you really dislike it. The kids and I can finish it.â
Benjamin looked at her. Surprisingly, he finished the piece of steak. He stilled for a second when the taste hit him, for the minced garlic didnât taste as bad as he expected. âNot bad!â he commented.
Arissa gaped at him. Shooting her a sidelong glance, Benjamin motioned for her to give him a few more pieces. Thus, Arissa took another piece of steak for him. All six children loved it as well, so they quickly took more.
With that, the entire plate of steak was gone. Benjamin directed his gaze at the children, and they giggled. âMommy made this, so we can also eat it!â
âIâll make it again next time if you all like it,â Arissa turned and promised the children. She then prompted them to savor the other dishes.
The six children were all delighted. When Arissa saw them all eating with relish, her mood remained upbeat. Following suit, Benjamin had another helping of pasta as well.
As Edwin clocked it all, sheer gratification deluged him. At that precise moment, Darius came with William. Arissa swiftly greeted them and invited them to join in for dinner.
The six children were even more exuberant to see their grandfather. They all greeted Darius, putting him in seventh heaven. After dinner, Darius played with the children in the living room.
Arissa brewed coffee for him in warm hospitality. âThereâs no need to bustle about, Issa. Iâll go and look for Benjamin for a moment,â Darius remarked smilingly.
He then told her to keep the children company while he stood up and went to the study in search of Benjamin. âBenjamin!â
Benjamin lifted his head, only to see Darius walking in. âHave a seat, Dad.â
Taking a seat on the chair in front of the desk, Darius stared at his son, who was busy with work. This youngest son of mine is outstanding in everything he does and is my pride, but heâs worrying in some aspects.
âDid you not bring Issa over to register your marriage today?â
âIt isnât time yet,â Benjamin murmured placidly. Dariusâ eyes remained fixated on him. âIs it not time yet, or are you unwilling to do so?â
Benjamin frowned, saying nothing at all.
âBenjamin, Issa is a girl. Donât put her in an awkward position when she has given birth to six children for you. If you really donât want to marry her, donât have her stay with you. How is she going to get married in the future?â
Raising his head, Benjamin pinned his eyes on Darius. âDo you want to see her taking the six kids away?â
âHow is she going to raise six kids alone? She still has to go to work. The kids must be in your custody. If she misses them, she can come and visit them,â Darius asserted solemnly.
Benjamin narrowed his eyes a fraction as he continued eyeballing the old man.
âYou previously promised to allow her to have custody of the kids. Why did you suddenly change your mind?â
âThat was because I thought she might marry into the Graham family. Now that youâve got no feelings for her, itâs better to draw a line between you both.â
Darius regarded his son stonily without giving the game away.
In response, Benjamin merely snorted. âInstead of worrying about this, youâd be better served worrying about those few sons of yours.â
Dariusâ brows creased deeply in puzzlement. âWhatâs wrong with them?â
Pressing his lips into a thin line, Benjamin remained silent.
Knowing that he wasnât getting anything out of his son, Darius heaved a sigh.
âBenjamin, how am I to resolve the problem if you wonât tell me about it?â
Benjaminâs expression went cold.
Helplessness inundated Darius. âI failed to fulfill my responsibilities as a father. I didnât take good care of you when you were young. I caused you much suffering. Now, youâve got children and have become a father yourself. You have your own family, so you need to consider your children in everything you do. Donât follow in my footsteps and make them drift increasingly further away from you.â
He didnât spell things out, but he knew that Benjamin would understand his meaning.
