“Daddy!” Gavin ran over to his father excitedly.

Benjamin embraced him and stroked his head. “Are you having fun here?”

“Yes! Mommy… Ms. York has made me a lot of delicious food. I like all of them!”

The four children hiding inside the room smirked when they heard Gavin say that.

Zachary murmured under his breath, “How shameless!”

Benjamin’s eyes lit up. He turned to face the woman standing idly at the door.

“Aren’t you going to close the door?”

Arissa sighed and did just that before joining them.

“Mr. Graham, have a seat. Gavin’s having his dinner. Let him finish his meal first. Then, you may bring him home.”

Benjamin narrowed his eyes. Can’t she read the room and invite me to dinner? After all, I’m her boss.

“Well, I haven’t eaten yet. Let me join you.”

With that, he carried Gavin in his arms and walked toward the dining table.

Arissa was bewildered. Never had she imagined that Benjamin would invite himself just like that.

“Why? I invited you for dinner at my house last night. Won’t you at least allow me stay for dinner tonight?”
