The More the Merrier

Chapter 1023

Arissa pursed her lips. "Even if you're not tired, you should get some rest. Do you think you're made of metal?”

Pfft!

Shaun couldn't hold back his laughter.

Darius, Mary, the kids, and the two butlers were also grinning widely.

"There's nowhere to rest here. I'll finish my work at the company before returning home to rest in the evening," Benjamin explained to Arissa. There was no hint of anger in his voice. "Did you forget what day it is today?"

Arissa scrutinized the workaholic man.

"Yes, Daddy. Have you forgotten what day it is today?" Gavin also chimed in.

Benjamin glanced at Gavin. "Saturday!"

Everyone was left speechless.

"At least you remember that it's Saturday!" Arissa narrowed her eyes. "You should rest on a Saturday. Why are you working overtime?"

Benjamin laughed. "Then, I'll drop by the company for a short while before going back home to rest. Is that fine?"

Arissa pursed her lips and didn't say anything.

Does it make him sick when he doesn't go to the company for one day?

"Mr. Graham, did you forget what you promised us?" Zachary reminded Benjamin.

Benjamin made eye contact with Zachary. Naturally, he hadn't forgotten his promise. "I remember!"

"If you remember it, why don't you show it through your actions?" Zachary pouted.

Oliver also chimed in, "Don't wait till night. There won't be time at night!"

Benjamin nodded. It seemed that he shouldn't go to the office. "All right. I won't go back to the office."

Arissa looked at Benjamin and then at the children. Since when did they have secrets?

Everyone kept Darius company for a short while before letting him eat.

Arissa had prepared mushroom soup for him. It was scrumptious.

"Old Mr. Graham, Mrs. Graham prepared this for you herself! Have some of it!" Edwin told Darius giddily.

Darius' eyes lit up in delight. "Issa, you made this?"

Arissa smiled and explained to Darius, "Yes. Does it suit your tastes? Since you just had surgery, you shouldn't eat anything heavy, so I tried to make the dish simpler." Darius nodded delightedly as he praised her, "It's delicious and better than what they make!"

He was referring to Edwin and William.

Arissa smiled. "The food that Edwin and William make is delicious too. It's just that you don't usually eat what I make. Once you eat more of what I cook, you will get sick of it." "Of course not! I'll never get sick of your food even if I eat it every day."

Darius was in a good mood and drank two bowls of soup quickly.

Everyone laughed at Darius' gluttonous behavior.

At that moment, there was a commotion outside the room. Everyone exchanged glances, and Shaun walked toward the door. "I'll go and take a look!"

It was Bryan and his wife trying to visit Darius. However, the bodyguards had stopped them outside.

"What are you guys doing? Let us visit Dad! Move!" Susanna scolded them viciously.

"I'm sorry! The doctor says that Old Mr. Graham needs his rest."

The bodyguards didn't move a single inch.

Bryan scoffed coldly. "We are here to visit Dad. Can't a son visit his own father?"

"I'm sorry. Mr. Graham said not to let anyone in!"

The bodyguards refused to allow them entry.

Bryan's expression darkened. "How dare Benjamin not let us meet my father?"

Just then, Shaun walked out of the ward, greeting them with a smile, "So, it's you guys!"

Shaun and Benjamin grew up together, so he naturally knew about the grudges in the Graham family.

Bryan and his wife could see that Benjamin's family was inside the ward through the crack of the door. Their expressions darkened.

"Ask them to back off! We are going in to visit Dad!" Bryan ordered Shaun. He moved to barge into the ward with Susanna, but Shaun blocked them. "Old Mr. Graham needs his rest! You guys should leave!"
