Chapter 953 Treating Everyone to Oxtail Soup Benjamin strode to the front. He was evidently a walking pheromone dispenser, for he instantly became the center of attention.
Everyone couldnât take their eyes off his handsome features and regal aura.
âDo you mind allowing me to cut in line? My wife and kids are hungry. Your oxtail soups will be on me.â
Given his innate majesty, no one interrupted or cut him off.
After listening to him, everyone cheered, finding it all romantic beyond words that he was buying food for his wife and children.
In fact, those standing near him promptly expressed their agreement.
âWeâre in no hurry, so go ahead.â
Inclining his head in thanks, Benjamin ordered a few servings for a takeaway before paying via e-payment.
âIâm treating everyone in line. Is ten thousand enough?â Benjamin asked the stall owner.
The stall owner gaped at Benjamin before taking a look at the long queue.
âThatâs too much! At the very most, itâll only be a few thousand!â
No one knew the exact amount, so Benjamin still paid ten thousand after arching a brow.
âThen, just consider it my treat for those after me until everything is sold.â
The stall owner was nonplussed. âThis is really too much, Sir! All I have here isnât worth ten thousand. Let me refund five thousand to you!â
âNo, itâs okay. Just consider it as tips from me.â
Ultimately, Benjamin wasnât in the habit of taking money back after paying.
At his generosity, the stall owner didnât argue further. All he could do was prepare larger portions for the man.
After that, Benjamin beckoned at the bodyguards.
The captain of the bodyguards jogged over. âMr. Graham!â
âIf you guys want to eat oxtail soup, have some to go. Itâs my treat. Get more and bring it back for the others,â Benjamin said.
Flattered, the captain of the bodyguards nodded fervently.
âUnderstood, Mr. Graham! Mr. Graham, why donât you go over to Mrs. Graham first? Iâll bring the food over in a while.â
Seeing that a few servings were already ready, Benjamin picked them up. âTake the remaining few later.â
Then he walked back toward Arissa.
When the children saw the man coming back with food in his hands, they all wore expressions of astonishment.
âMommy, Daddy has indeed jumped the queue!â
Arissa scrutinized the man heading toward her. Whoa, he really cut in line?
âWhat did you do?â She regarded him with merriment dancing in her eyes.
Benjamin swept a gaze over her and the children.
Before he could explain, the stall owner at the front hollered, âCalm down, everyone! That gentleman earlier is treating all of you to oxtail soup, and that goes for everyone in line!â
Upon hearing that, Arissa chuckled, never having expected Benjamin to use such a tactic. âHow generous of you, Graham!â
âOthers wonât be willing to let me cut in line otherwise.â Benjaminâs lips quirked up. âLetâs get into the car first.â
Cradling Jesse in her arms, Arissa ordered the children to go over to the car.
âEveryone, follow me. Weâre not queuing anymore.â
Benjamin kept an eye on the five boys.
Gavin, Tim, Zachary, Oliver, and Jasper were over the moon.
âThat was smart of you, Mr. Graham!â Jasper complimented.
In response, Benjamin glanced at him, his thin lips curving upward.
âHow generous of you, Mr. Graham!â

With oxtail soup to go in both hands, Benjamin motioned at Arissa. âHurry up and go over there.â
The children giggled and ran over.
Only when Arissa and the children were all settled in the car did Benjamin climb in.
âQuick, give it to us, Mr. Graham!â
Zachary was incredibly eager to eat.
Benjamin looked at them, only to see the children gazing at him with expressions of anticipation on their faces.
âLetâs just eat when we arrive home, okay?â
In all honesty, he wasnât the kind of person who ate in the car.
Gavin pursed his lips. âIt wonât be delicious anymore if we wait until we arrive home, Daddy!â
The trip home takes at least half an hour!
âItâs only delicious when we eat it hot now. Give me a serving!â Arissa interjected.
She reached out to take a serving from him, but Benjamin placed the oxtail soup on the table in the car. âItâs still scalding hot, so let it cool for a while.â
