Chapter 822 Only Her

Arissa smiled and patted Jesse’s head gently. “You look more and more like a girl!” Everyone

turned to look at Jonathan as he said that. Shaun and Kingsley’s eyes were filled with

smiles.

 

Gavin, Tim, Zachary, Oliver, and Jasper turned to look at Jonathan as well before they snuck

a glance at Benjamin. His eyes darted back and forth between Arissa and Jesse, and he

realized that Jesse did look a lot like a girl.

He turned to look at Jonathan and said, “He is still young. It’s normal for him to look like his

mother. He’s going to look more like a boy when he grows up.”

Jonathan smiled and nodded. Benjamin was right. It was difficult to identify a child’s gender

from their looks alone when they were really young.

Jesse hid behind Arissa with a mischievous glint in her eyes.

Arissa was enthralled by the amusing exchange.

Edwin came out of the kitchen. Noticing that Arissa did not intend to let Benjamin know that

Jesse was, in fact, a girl, he bit his tongue as his lips curled into a slight smile.

“I’m done with the chicken wings! Here, have one each!”

Edwin handed one to every child and the last one to Arissa before he headed into the

kitchen to prepare more.

“Thank you, Mr. Whitley!”

The children were delighted and munched on the chicken wings.

 

It was as if they were having supper outside.

“Mr. Watts, Dr. Bailey, Mr. Patterson, please enjoy the chicken wings.”

“Mrs. Graham, it’s all right. We will help ourselves. You have some too.”

Kingsley took over the plate of chicken wings and passed one to Jonathan and Shaun.

Noticing that there were two left on the plate, he was elated.

“Haha! I have two!”

Benjamin threw a glance at him. “Give it here!”

Kingsley peered at him and hurriedly took his chicken wing. “You don’t eat wings!”

Benjamin glared at him, and Kingsley hurriedly passed the chicken wing back to him.

“You take it,” Benjamin said as he passed it to Arissa.

Everyone burst into a fit of giggles.

“Benjamin, be careful not to overfeed your lady,” Kingsley remarked as he looked at the

two.

Benjamin rolled his eyes at him.

“Are you really not going to eat?” Arissa asked with a smile on her face.

“No,” Benjamin answered. He was focused on finishing his soup.

He still had half a bowl to go, even after everyone had finished their pasta.

Benjamin continued to enjoy his bowl of soup.

Arissa was full after eating two chicken wings. The beef skewers and corn on the cob were

finished by the others.

She took care of her children as they ate.

Benjamin picked up a piece of corn and placed it on her plate.

“I can’t finish it. You take it,” she uttered as she looked at him.

Benjamin did not like corn either. Hence, he gave it to Jesse instead.

The little girl was thrilled as her eyes lit up with joy. “Thank you, Mr. Graham!”

Benjamin eyed Jesse’s rosy pink lips and fair porcelain skin as she thanked him.

Jesse does look like a little girl.

Arissa had noticed that Benjamin had spared more glances at Jesse, and her lips curved.

Will Benjamin be mad if he learns that Jesse is, in fact, a girl? Everyone but him already

knows about it. Well, I can’t blame him for getting furious later now, can I?

They suddenly locked gazes with each other, and Arissa hurriedly averted her gaze guiltily.

What is this woman trying to hide from me?

Benjamin had noticed Arissa’s odd demeanor. After everyone was full, he summoned Shaun

to the study to discuss the next day’s surgery.

Jonathan and Kingsley followed them into the study as well.

Arissa did not know what they were going to talk about, and she did not think it was

appropriate to try to barge in either. Hence, she brought the kids upstairs for their bath.

After putting the kids to bed, Arissa returned to the master bedroom’s bathroom to take a

bath. After she was done, Benjamin was still nowhere to be seen. Hence, she headed

downstairs to take a look.

Benjamin and the others were just heading out of the study. “Are you guys done with the

discussion?” Arissa asked.

“Yes,” Benjamin replied.

“We’re going back now, Mrs. Graham!” Shaun, Kingsley, and Jonathan stated before they

left.

“Drive safely, guys.”

“Let’s go upstairs and rest.” Benjamin spoke as he took her hand and led her upstairs.
