Chapter 952 Jump the Queue Benjaminâs brows furrowed slightly. âIs oxtail soup hygienic?â Itâs made of the tail of a cow, after all. Arissa thought, Oh God, I shouldnât have asked him. Heâs a germaphobe, so he doesnât eat such a thing.
âYou can try it later. Itâs very fragrant!â How filthy can cowsâ tails be? Theyâre exceedingly clean, okay? Cows merely roam in pastures, so cowsâ tails are far cleaner than pigsâ tails.
And so, Arissa led the children in search of the stall selling oxtail soup.
After they exited the amusement park, the aroma grew all the stronger. That aside, they were greeted by the sight of a long queue.
âFollow your daddy. Iâll go and buy it.â Leaving that instruction to her five sons, Arissa joined the queue.
âWeâll accompany you, Mommy!â
Jasper trotted over.
âGo and wait in the car. Iâve still got to stand in line here,â Arissa said, glancing back over her shoulder.
Then, she said to Benjamin, âKeep an eye on them, Benjamin!â
Benjamin quirked a brow, feeling a touch disgruntled that all the children wanted to stay with her.
Thus, he also headed over to them on his long legs while carrying his daughter in his arms.
Seeing that they had all come over, Arissa chortled. âYou all want to queue as well?â
There are still dozens of people in front of us.
A frown marred Benjaminâs countenance, and he proposed, âLetâs wait in the car. Iâll have the bodyguards buy it.â
After all, who knows how long weâll have to wait.
He eyed the long queue before him, greatly puzzled. Is this really that delicious?
âNo, itâs okay. Letâs not trouble them.â
Arissa glanced at the bodyguards who were with them. They donât have it easy either.
With his brows scrunched together, Benjamin waited with her and the children.
âWhy donât you go back to the car first?â
Arissa was worried that it would be taxing for him, considering the fact that he was cradling Jesse.
âIâll just wait with you,â Benjamin insisted, pursing his lips.
In light of his demurral, Arissa stretched out her hands. âIâll carry her for a while.â
âNo, itâs okay.â
Benjamin was adamant about carrying Jesse by himself, even shifting her so that she could sleep more comfortably.
Jesse lay against the manâs shoulder.
Arissa smiled, looking at the man.
He kept grumbling about us pampering Jesse, but he has also changed a lot after learning that sheâs a girl!
âWhy are you smiling?â
Benjamin raised a brow domineeringly.
The corners of Arissaâs mouth lifted, and she teased, âDidnât you say that you want Jesse to be like the other boys? It isnât proper for you to be showing her preferential treatment!â
Benjamin was stunned for a moment. âSheâs already asleep. Am I to carry her on my back instead of in my arms?â
Arissa snickered, but she didnât expose him.
Benjamin continued queuing with Jesse in his arms.
When the line remained stationary after they had queued for some time, he lifted his wrist and glanced at the time.
âCarry Jesse for a while. Iâll go and buy it.â
How much longer do we need to wait if this persists? Itâs already past ten oâclock now, and itâs going to be eleven oâclock soon.
âYouâre planning on jumping the queue?â Arissa questioned in a low voice to prevent the children from overhearing.
But itâd be even worse if he were to do that, no?
âIâve got a plan.â
Shooting her a look, Benjamin bent down a fraction and handed Jesse to her.
Arissa took her daughter from him.
Thereafter, Benjamin strode toward the front of the queue.
âWhy did Daddy go to the front, Mommy?â
Gavinâs eyes went wide like saucers.
Meanwhile, Tim blinked. Donât tell me Daddy is going to cut in line. That wouldnât be appropriate, would it?
âMr. Graham is going to jump the queue?â
Zachary stared fixedly in Benjaminâs direction.
Jasper and Oliver giggled. âI never thought that Mr. Graham would do such a thing as jump the queue!â
The corners of Arissaâs mouth twitched.
In order to maintain Benjaminâs image in the childrenâs hearts, she clarified, âHe isnât going to the front to jump the queue.â
âWhy else, then?â
Zachary was confused.
That had Arissa at a loss for words, for she wasnât sure why Benjamin had gone to the front either. If I deny it, what if I happen to be proven wrong later?
âPerhaps he wants to have a look at the menu? Letâs just wait and see.â
Utterly curious, the children craned their necks as they observed Benjamin.
âLetâs go and have a look, too!â Jasper couldnât stay still.
Arissa quickly held him back. âDonât run around!â
