Chapter 974 I Was Wrong
“You should eat too, Dad. Let them be. They can take care of themselves,” Arissa advised. “All right, all
right.” Darius sat and offered, “Pick whatever you want to eat, Issa.”
“I know, Dad. I won’t hold back!” “Haha!” As Dariusughed, he swept his gaze across his son. “If she
can’t reach a certain dish, help her grab it.”
“Okay.” Benjamin nodded. Gleefully, Darius ate as he watched his grandchildren enjoying their meal
with satisfaction. Arissa kept her eyes on them too, smiling widely.
Benjamin leaned toward Arissa and whispered next to her ear, “What are you looking at? You should
eat too!” Upon hearing his words, she shifted her gaze away from the children to look at him. “I am
eating!”
She was pleased when he put some food on her te. In response, she did the same for him. “You
should eat more, too!” Her action cheered him up so much that the food he had gotten used to eat
tasted better than usual.
Then, as Arissa looked around the dining table, she found it weird that the other members of the
Graham family weren’t around. We’vee here for meals multiple times, but we were always the only
ones here. We never saw the other members of the Graham family, which is rather odd.
All of a sudden, she felt a sense of pain strike her head. As soon as Arissa turned to Benjamin, she
saw him retracting his hand. Confused, she questioned, “Why did you hit me?”
“Focus on your food. What are you thinking?” He red at her. The edges of her mouth twitched. Can
he read my mind? I can’t believe he caught me zoning out briefly.
“Nothing,” she replied, pouting. A look of amusement shed past Benjamin’s eyes as he took note of
how annoyed she was.
Darius’ expression darkened when he witnessed the couple’s interaction and admonished, “Why did
you hit Issa, Benjamin? You should be more mindful of your actions.”
Snickering in secret, Arissa lowered her hand that was touching her forehead.
Gloomily, Benjamin glimpsed at her before turning his sight toward his father. “I was just messing
around with her!”
The old man scoffed, “Messing around? Do you think I’m blind or deaf?”
“That’s right! We saw you hitting Mommy!” Gavin furiously reprimanded.
Silently, Benjamin turned to his wife and asked, “Did it hurt?”
Arissa blinked wordlessly.
“Don’t you threaten Issa! Are you still a man? How can you bully your wife?” Darius mmed the table
with rage.
In response, Benjamin pursed his lips.
Arissa lowered her head and stifled herughter. It’s your fault for hitting me!
Upon shing a nce in her direction, Benjamin looked at his father. “I was wrong, Dad. I won’t hit her
again!”
Darius stared at him seriously. “You shouldn’t have done it in the first ce!”
Instead of arguing with his father, Benjamin merely nodded subserviently.
Arissa focused on her meal and ignored the father-and-son duo.
Halfway through their meal, the sound of a car engine was suddenly heard outside the door.
Darius was taken aback for a moment before gesturing for William to check out who the visitor was.
Momentster, William returned and reported, “It’s Mr. Bryan, Old Mr. Graham.”
“What is he doing here?” Darius scowled.
Clearly, he didn’t want to see Bryan.
Benjamin’s eyes glinted.
A few minutes passed before Bryan strode into the dining room and started yelling at Benjamin. “You
sure are ruthless, Benjamin! Don’t think you can act impudently just because Dad loves you! I won’t let
you off the hook unless you give me an exnation today!”
A frigid look shed past Benjamin’s eyes. No one has ever had the guts to speak to me like that!
“You’re the impudent one here!” Darius pped the dining table, rattling the tes and bowls.
The children and Arissa didn’t have the nerve to keep eating as they watched the family drama unfold
fearfully.
Furiously, Darius berated, “Do you realize how disrespectful you’re acting right now? Do you think
you’re in the right just because you started yelling right after you came in here?”Content ? copyrighted by N?velDrama.Org.
