    I Would Not Say No


    Arissa sat back down. “Thank you, Edwin.”


    “You’re wee,” he responded warmly.


    Turning to Mary with a smile, Arissa ced some food onto the woman’s te. “Have some of this,


    Grandaunt.”


    “Ah, okay. I’ll have some soup first,” Mary replied hurriedly.


    “Have some of both,” Arissa said as she piled more food onto the children’s tes.


    “Eat slowly. Don’t scarf down the food!”


    Too engrossed in eating, the other kids merely murmured a response and nodded.


    However, Tim looked up and answered, “Okay, Ms. York.”


    Gazing at him lovingly, Arissa murmured a response before continuing to eat.


    “These dishes are absolutely delicious! Edwin, did you prepare all of this?” Arissa asked when she saw


    the butler walking over.


    “Yes. I had the help of two cooks as well.”


    Worried that he would not be able to cope with preparing so much food, Edwin enlisted the help of two


    cooks.


    “It must’ve been a lot of work,” Arissa remarked as she took the pasta from him with both hands.


    “As long as they’re to your liking, it’s all worth it,” Edwin responded with a grin.


    Then, he went to get Mary some pasta and refill her te while directing the help to serve pasta to


    Kingsley and the others.


    Benjamin had peeled a bowlful of prawns, and after passing some to Arissa, he told Edwin to distribute


    the remainder among the children.


    “Thank you, Daddy!”


    “Thank you, Mr. Graham!”


    A smile appeared on Edwin’s face when he heard their different ways of addressing Benjamin.


    “Thank you,” Arissa muttered as she shot Benjamin a nce, sharing some of the peeled prawns with


    Mary.


    However, Mary covered her te, saying, “Oh, that’s enough for me. I can’t eat that much. You should


    have more, Issa.”


    “We can share them. There’s still plenty left,” Arissa answered smilingly.


    Seeing that, Kingsley could not help saying in jest, “Arissa, I wouldn’t say no if you were to give some


    to me.”


    Arissa nced at him in amusement.


    “If I were to give some to you, I’d have to share them with Dr. Bailey and Mr. Frank too. There isn’t


    enough to go around, so you’d better peel them yourselves. There’s still a lot left.”


    Benjamin had shot Kingsley a warning look, but his expression rxed a little after hearing Arissa’s


    response.


    “I was only joking. I’ll peel some for everyone.”


    Noticing that the children liked to eat prawns, Kingsley put down his fork and started peeling diligently.


    But after peeling one, he popped it straight into his mouth.


    Shaun and Ethen burst outughing when they saw his antics.


    “You offer to peel prawns for us, yet there’s barely enough for you!”


    “That’s so true!” Ethen chimed in.


    The children also started giggling, and the sound ofughter filled the dining room.


    Even with Edwin and the help attending to them, Arissa did not forget to ensure the kids had enough to


    eat.

    Meanwhile, Benjamin was attentive to Mary and served thetter some food.


    “Try this, Grandaunt!”


    “Okay,” Mary replied graciously.


    Benjamin also served Arissa some food from the dishes that were further away.


    The sight caused Kingsley, Shaun, and Ethen to look at the couple with a twinkle in their eyes.


    Ignoring their ambiguous gazes, Arissa thanked Graham calmly.


    Benjamin gazed at her and only started eating when he saw her enjoying the food.


    Since they were all hungry, everyone ate quietly.


    “Tim, this is yummy. Try it!” Gavin said while cing some food onto Tim’s ce.


    Tim had never had such exquisite dishes before. Even if there were some dishes that he had eaten at


    hotels before, he found Edwin’s cooking much tastier.


    Every dish he tried filled him with awe.


    Just like him, Mary felt she had never tasted such delicious food.


    “It’s so yummy!” Tim said, licking his lips.


    Zachary also took some food for Tim. “This is tasty too!”


    “Thank you,” Tim replied, feeling moved.


    “Don’t mention it. This is our home, so go ahead and take whatever you like to eat. Since you’ve never


    had Mr. Whitley’s cooking, you can try a little of everything!” Zachary said warmly.


    Tim nodded. “Okay!”


    Oliver and Jasper also passed Tim some of the other dishes he had not yet tried.


    Following her brothers’ example, Jesse stretched out her hand to take some food for Tim, but it was too


    far for her to reach.


    The dish happened to be in front of Ethen. Hence, he ced some on her te with a smile.
