Chapter 919 Benjamin Cooks Breakfast Casting a glance at Benjamin, Arissa turned her head to the side and giggled furtively. Benjamin cut his gaze over and stared at her. Lifting his hand, he pinched her cheek.
However, Arissa dodged and gazed at him innocently. âYouâre not allowed to pinch Mommyâs cheek, Mr. Graham!â Oliver shouted at Benjamin, sticking his hands on his hips.
Verily, he did seem somewhat intimidating while all irate and somber. âWhy?â Benjamin teased, his interest piqued. âNo reason! Itâll be painful for her if you pinch her cheek!â
Oliver scowled at him. Quirking a brow, Benjamin lifted his hand and pinched his sonâs petite cheek. âIs it painful?â
Oliver merely blinked. It isnât painful, but he obviously pinched Mommy hard just now. âItâs a different story!â At that, Benjamin twisted his body sideways and glanced at Arissa. âWas it painful earlier?â
In response, Arissa blinked. âA tiny bit.â Words eluded Benjamin. âLook, Mommyâs face had turned red from your pinch!â Jasper exclaimed.
Stricken, Benjamin swung his gaze at Arissa. When he saw that her cheek was a tad red, he kneaded it for a bit. âDoes it still hurt?â
His tenderness had warmth suffusing Arissa. âA tiny bit.â
She turned her face to the side, signaling him to knead it further. Benjaminâs gaze darkened, a spark of desire igniting within his eyes. Throughout it all, the six children looked on intently.
Noticing their stares, Arissa said to them, âGo to the dining room and get ready to have breakfast.â The children looked at her before glancing at Benjamin warily.
Pinning his eyes on Arissa, Benjamin jested, âThe kids care about you so much that they regard me as a villain though Iâm their daddy.â
In turn, Arissa flashed him a sheepish smile. âServes you right for doing something they would misunderstand.â
Harrumphing softly, Benjamin shifted his gaze to the children. âCome with me for breakfast.â
Gavin eyed him dubiously. âBreakfast isnât ready yet.â
Benjaminâs eyes remained fixated on the children. âThen, are you all hungry now?â
The children looked at each other before they nodded honestly.
âYeah.â
âGo and sit down. Iâll cook for you all!â
After saying that, Benjamin headed to the kitchen.
Surprise flooded Arissa. Heâs making breakfast?
She quickly followed after him. Her jaw dropped when she saw that he was really cooking.
At her expression, Benjamin arched a brow. âJust wait with the kids outside.â
Truly, it was rare that he was in the mood to cook.
Noticing that he seemed to handle things well, Arissa queried, âYou can cook?â
âYeah,â Benjamin grunted in reply without taking his eyes off the pot.
Edwin was also in the kitchen, assisting him.
âWait outside with the kids first, Mrs. Graham. Mr. Grahamâs cooking skills are pretty good, so heâll have no problems preparing breakfast.â
Arissa chuckled before studying Benjamin again. Clocking his skillful movements, she walked in.
âThis soup of mine should be ready.â
Turning, Benjamin cast a look at her. âHave you added any seasoning?â
âNope.â
Benjamin proceeded to uncover the lid of the pot and add some seasoning.
Subsequently, he sampled it.
âYou can add the ingredients now,â Arissa reminded, shooting him a glance.
Thus, Benjamin carried the plate of offal at the side over. The instant he made out what it was, his brows creased deeply.

Arissa threw a look at him. âFrom the market.â
âWeâre eating this?â Snapping his head over, Benjamin glared at her.
Arissa blinked. Clocking his aversion, she hurriedly took it from him, afraid he would chuck them away.
âWhy not? Itâs delicious!â
Pressing his lips into a thin line, Benjamin turned and admonished Edwin. âYou bought it for her?â
âMrs. Graham loves this, so I prepared some,â Edwin hastily explained.
âWhy are you criticizing Edwin? This soup is scrumptious! Go away! Iâll do it myself!â
Disregarding Benjaminâs pickiness, Arissa poured the plate of offal into the pot and stirred it, keeping it simmering at low heat.
A frown marred Benjaminâs face, for he never ate offal.
