Chapter 852
“I can eat by myself. You should eat with the children first!” Mary said.
With a grin, Arissa replied, “We'll be taking them out for a meal soon, Grandaunt. I have plenty of time
to spend with them, so now I'm spending some with you.”
The old woman was delighted to hear that. She asked with a smile, “Are you having a meal with
Benjamin?”
“Mhm. So, we went to pick up the marriage certificate today, right? When Mr. Watts and the others
heard about that, they asked him to treat them to a meal. So we've decided to eat together outside.”
Arissa informed Mary about it in advance because they wouldn't have time to accompany her later.
Mary nodded with a smile. “One should invite friends out for a meal to share good news like that. You
don't have to worry about me and just enjoy yourselves. Later, Edwin will bring me food, and there are
still other people in the hospital to look after me, so relax.”
Arissa nodded and ate some fruits with Mary while waiting for Benjamin to arrive.
Before the man came, Darius arrived with William.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe old man brought many supplements and also Mary's dinner, which the help in Old Manor prepared.
“Old Mr. Graham...” Arissa greeted him.
When the elderly man shot a glare at her, she quickly changed how she addressed him. “Dad!”
“Don't make a mistake when addressing me in the future, all right?” He smiled brightly.
Arissa nodded and took the food container in Darius' hand. “Why did you bring so much stuff with you?”
“It's not that much. All of these are nourishing to the body. Since Mdm. Mary just had an operation, she
needs to recuperate.” Then, he asked William to put the items down in a tidy manner.
Mary greeted the visitors, “It's not necessary to bring so many things with you when you're visiting me. I
can't eat that much, anyway. Bring these things back with you when you're leaving later!”
“There aren't actually that many things inside of these packages. They just look big on the outside.”
With a smirk, Darius approached the bed. “Are you feeling better?”
“Much better, thank you! You two should sit!”
“All right. You should rest. We'll make ourselves at home.” Darius proceeded to exchange pleasantries
with her.
“Come here and eat some fruits, Grandpa!” the children called out to him.
That prompted the old man to approach the kids and hug them one by one. “Remember to not make
too much noise, all right? Otherwise, you'll disturb your great-grandaunt's rest!”
“We know!” The children nodded obediently.
Darius caressed their heads affectionately.
After Arissa placed Mary's dinner on the nightstand, the latter reminded the former, “You should tell
Edwin that there's no need for him to deliver food to me anymore.”
“We talked to Edwin when we were coming by earlier. He probably wouldn't be delivering food to you,”
William informed.
“I think I should still give him a call and tell him that he doesn't need to prepare dinner today.” With a
grin, Arissa quickly gave Edwin a call. “We're going out for dinner tonight, so there's no need for you to
prepare dinner, Edwin!”
Turning his head in Arissa's direction, Darius asked, “You lot aren't having dinner at home?”
“We're eating outside tonight, Grandpa!” Jasper uttered.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“We aren't returning home to eat since Daddy's treating us.” Gavin glanced at the old man.
With a raised eyebrow, Darius asked curiously, “Your daddy's treating you all?”
“That's right!” Gavin nodded.
“He's treating Mr. Watts and the others, too!” Zachary added.
Upon approaching Darius, Arissa said, “Benjamin's treating Mr. Watts and the others to a meal. We'll
be joining them instead of having dinner back home. You should come with us, Dad!”
With a smirk, Darius rejected, “I won't be joining you lot. An old man like me shouldn't ruin you
youngsters' gathering.”
“You won't! Everyone there is going to be someone you already know.” Arissa smiled.
She knew everyone who would be having dinner together with them later, so that meant Darius was
familiar with them, too.
“No, no. We'll have our meal back home. You all should go! Besides, if we're around, you youngsters
won't feel comfortable chatting with each other.”
