    Chapter 866 Rosetta Tags Along


    “Of course, I’ll drink!” Kingsley replied before clinking sses with Benjamin. With that, thetter ced


    his wine ss down and gestured for everyone to start tucking into their meal.


    Just as they were enjoying the food, Aaron finally turned up. “Oh! Everyone’s here!” he eximed,


    albeit rather sheepishly. “I’m thetest, aren’t I?”


    “Not at all! We’ve only just started. Come on in!” Kingsley greeted warmly. Aaron promptly did as


    instructed, and only then did the group see who he had brought along.


    “Hi, guys!” Rosetta said cheerily. Needless to say, everyone was shocked, especially since they


    thought Aaron would show up with his wife. No one had expected to see Rosetta instead.


    Kingsley’s smile quickly faded as he red at Aaron. Thetter, on the other hand, looked utterly


    helpless. While Shaun and the rest nodded politely in response, Benjamin ignored the woman and


    turned his attention to Aaron.


    “Take a seat, Aaron. We’ve only just begun!” As a glint shed across her eyes, Arissa hurriedly


    chimed in, “Yes, please join us! We’ve only just started eating.”


    “Thank you, Arissa!” Aaron replied smilingly before sitting with Shaun and the others. Rosetta followed


    suit and was about to take the empty seat beside Benjamin when Ethen jumped up from his.


    “Here, Ms. Adams. You can have my seat!” After giving up his seat so Rosetta could sit with Aaron,


    Ethen quickly plopped himself down next to Benjamin.


    The smile on Rosetta’s face froze for a moment, but it wasn’t long before she rposed herself and


    nodded cheerfully. “Sure!”


    s, with her around, the atmosphere no longer felt as fun and rxed as before. “Everyone, I’d like to


    apologize for beingte by giving a toast!” Aaron eximed as he raised his ss and downed the


    wine.


    Straightforward as always, Kingsley shot him a look and blurted out, “Aaron, why didn’t you bring your


    wife along? You could’ve informed us earlier that your sister wasing instead!”


    “My wife couldn’t join us because one of her friends was in an ident. I’ll bring her along next time,”


    Aaron murmured, his voice gradually bing softer. “Anyway, Rosetta insisted on tagging along


    when she found out I wasing here for dinner. I didn’t have a choice…”


    Meanwhile, Rosetta was quietly studying everyone at the table until the sight of the six children sitting


    beside Arissa took her aback.


    As it turned out, the little ones were also staring at her, except their eyes were full of hostility and


    contempt.


    “Benjamin, who are those—”


    However, before she could finish her question, Aaron hastily tugged at her hand to shut her up.


    “Rosetta!”


    Naturally, the six children became even more annoyed when they heard how intimately she had


    addressed their father.


    They turned to look at Arissa, only to find her seemingly unbothered and eating her food quietly.


    Nevertheless, they couldn’t stop themselves from worrying.


    Benjamin’s face, too, had turned incredibly solemn as he gave Rosetta a cold-eyed stare.


    “Ms. Adams, I’ve already reminded you yesterday not to call me with that tone lest people get the


    wrong idea!”


    Try as she might, Rosetta couldn’t hide her pained expression. “I—”


    “Eat your food and stop talking!” Aaron interrupted angrily.


    My goodness. Can’t Rosetta see that Benjamin has no romantic feelings for her? Why else would he


    be hosting this dinner tonight?


    The next second, Aaron turned to Benjamin with an apologetic look. “I’m sorry, Benjamin. I didn’t mean


    to ruin your mood.”


    Thetter shot him a sideways nce and replied, “Don’t let it happen again!”


    With that, Aaron finally heaved a sigh of relief and raised his ss to give a toast to the couple.


    “Benjamin, Arissa, congrattions on your marriage! Who knew you guys would be so much more


    efficient than me?”


    “Thank you,” Benjamin answered before clinking sses with Aaron.


    Arissa, too, chimed in, “Thank you!”


    Rosetta, however, still had her doubts. I can’t believe they’ve gotten their marriage certificate already!


    Those six kids are clearly Benjamin’s, but are they also Arissa’s?


    “Have you guys really collected your marriage certificate?” she asked.


    Despite feeling the weight of Rosetta’s stare, Arissa merely smiled and ced more food on her


    children’s tes.


    “Eat up, Sweethearts!”


    Nodding in unison, the children broke into cherubic smiles. “Thank you, Mommy!”


    Rosetta frowned and clenched her fists. Mommy?This material belongs to N?velDrama.Org.
