Chapter 1059 A Hassle

“You called Dad?” She looked at Benjamin. Did he call Dad when I was sleeping?

Benjamin swept a glance at her and answered flatly, “Shaun was the one who told me Dad was recovering well.”

Arissa nodded. He has been busy, so he wouldn't have the time to call.

“I'll call Dad later!” Arissa served Benjamin some food. “You should eat too!”

“Are you not drinking your soup?” Benjamin saw there was still half a bowl of soup left.

“I'll continue with the soup after I'm done with my pasta. If I finish my soup now, I won't have the appetite for my pasta anymore.”

Benjamin chuckled and finished her soup for her before serving her the ingredients leftover in the soup.

Arissa smiled back at him and ate happily.

“Don't just keep giving me food. You should eat more!”

“I enjoy watching you eat!”

“Huh?” Arissa looked confused.

Benjamin tapped her nose and explained, “I have a good appetite whenever I eat with you because it seems that you enjoy everything!”

Arissa beamed. “Well, that's because I'm not a picky eater!”

Benjamin arched a brow and leaned toward her. “Are you calling me a picky eater?”

“Are you not? You're more picky than the kids!” Arissa argued.

Benjamin was amused. “I'm just very particular toward tastes!”

Arissa's lips twitched, and she swept a glance at the dishes before her eyes. There isn't a dish that he dislikes. Edwin must've taken his preferences into consideration. If there was a dish here that he doesn't like, I would serve him that dish immediately to see if he would eat it.

“The pasta tastes nice. Why are you not eating?”

Benjamin cleared his throat and murmured, “I don't like mushy food.”

Arissa raised her gaze toward the ceiling. Yet, he said he wasn't a picky eater. It's such a hassle to prepare food for him!

Benjamin saw the look on her face and snorted. “Don't you have anything you don't enjoy eating?”

Arissa refused to argue with him. “I'm still not as picky as you!”

Benjamin was rendered speechless.

Before they finished eating, Benjamin's phone rang, and he saw that it was a call from Gavin.

Benjamin looked at Arissa. “Gavin is calling again!”

Again? “Did he call earlier?”

“Once, and he was looking for you. I told him you were sleeping and hung up the phone.” Benjamin didn't answer the phone. Instead, he continued piling her plate with food.

“Answer the phone!” Arissa grew anxious. Gavin must be worried about me!

“Let's just eat first,” Benjamin said placidly.

“Ugh... I can eat and talk at the same time. Don't let the kids worry,” Arissa urged.

In the end, Benjamin heaved a sigh, answered the phone, and put it on speaker.

“Is Mommy awake?” Gavin asked.

Benjamin frowned. “Aren't you going to greet me first?”

“Daddy!” Gavin greeted. “Is Mommy awake?”

“She's eating,” Benjamin replied.

Arissa shot Benjamin a look before saying to her son softly, “Sweetheart, I'm here. What's up?”

“Hehe! Mommy, we were wondering if you were awake. Are you feeling better after the IV drip?” Gavin asked in a concerned tone.

“Yes, I'm feeling much better. I'm actually having a meal with your daddy now!” Arissa was in a good mood. This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

“We haven't eaten! Mr. Whitley hasn't sent us food,” Jasper uttered.

“Mr. Whitley is on his way to you guys, so he should be there soon. After the meal, go home and get some rest, okay? Let your grandpa and great-grandaunt rest at the hospital!” Arissa advised because she was worried about Darius and Mary.

Upon saying that, she quickly hung up the phone. If I don't hang up the phone soon, someone will be upset.

Benjamin kept the phone aside and said domineeringly, “From now on, don't talk to them on the phone during meals. It's a bad habit!”

Arissa glanced at the jealous man and giggled.
