Chapter 861 Smoking Is Bad For Your Health Gripping the childrenâs shoulders, Arissa scanned her eyes over them to ensure that all of them were there. Then, she uttered gently, âLetâs go in!â
âCome on!â Upon seeing that Shaun had also come over, Benjamin entered the restaurant with his arm still wrapped around her waist. âFortunately, the traffic wasnât that bad. Otherwise, weâd only be arriving a while later,â Shaun remarked with a smile.
Subsequently, he added, âKingsley called several times to hurry me up. Did he not phone you?â He glanced at Benjamin. âHe phoned me twice,â
Benjamin replied placidly, his thin lips parting a smidge.
Arissa chortled. âMr. Watts phoned twice, but he declined the first call. The second call came right on the heels of that.â Hearing that, Shaun guffawed before grumbling about Kingsley. âHe must have had nothing better to do to keep calling this person and that!â
Suddenly, Benjamin halted in his tracks. He turned to the man. âWho else did he invite?â
âJust the few of us. Jonathan will be coming over in a bit!â Shaun eyed him dubiously. Nodding, Benjamin led Arissa and the children in.
The six children held hands. As they walked, Gavin explained the layout of the restaurant to Tim. âThe public restroom is over there, Tim. But we probably wonât have any use for it. Weâll be eating in a private room, and it comes with an attached restroom.â
Tim had never been there, so his eyes roved around, following Gavinâs introduction. Zachary, Oliver, Jasper, and Jesse had all been there once, but they were still exceedingly curious about the place and loved to look around.
Even Arissa couldnât help scrutinizing the surrounding décor. The restaurant was quaint, seemingly transporting one back to ancient times. On top of that, all the servers wore gowns, making for a delightful sight.
âIsnât it beautiful here, Tim?â Jasper inquired, poking his head out. Tim bobbed his head. âYup! Itâs beautiful!â At his affirmation, Jasper beamed from ear to ear. âThe food here is also delicious! Have more later!â
Again, Tim nodded shyly. âWatch where youâre going,â Arissa cautioned the children smilingly. âWatch where youâre going, Mommy!â Jesse parroted.
Arissa giggled. âOkay!â
Meanwhile, Benjaminâs thin lips curved upward. Trailing behind them, Shaun was tickled pink as well. They strolled over to the private room with the children.
Kingsley was waiting at the door. If it werenât for his dashing posture as he leaned against the wall, one might mistake him for a server there.

Thereafter, he turned and instructed the children, âKeep away from him.â The corners of Kingsleyâs mouth twitched. He hurried over to the air conditioner to dissipate the stench of cigarettes on him.
At his docility, all six children snickered. âSmoking is bad for your health, Mr. Watts!â Jasper advised, his eyes shimmering in the light. Kingsley flashed him a sheepish smile before throwing a look at Benjamin. âYour daddy smokes, too!â
Tilting his head, Jasper studied Benjamin. Does Daddy smoke? I donât think Iâve ever seen him smoking. Benjamin rolled his eyes at him and stepped into the private room with the children after Arissa entered.
Mirth filled Arissa. Shaun likewise shot Kingsley a glare. âYou knew Gavin and the others were coming over for dinner, yet you still smoked. Itâs already merciful of Benjamin that he didnât throw you out.â
âI was just bored while waiting for the lot of you. Unexpectedly, I had only taken a few puffs when you all arrived.â Kingsley patted his clothes before sauntering in as well.
Taking the menu, Benjamin slid it over to Arissa. âYou order!â Delight flooded Arissa. All six children crowded over, instantly jostling Benjamin out.
They all started to place their orders.
âThese look yummy!â Timâs eyes lit up as he stared at the pictures on the menu. Smiling, Arissa slid the menu closer to him. âWhich one do you like, Tim? Iâll order it for you!â
