Arissa chuckled and replied, “We won't be coming home anytime soon. You should take a rest if you're tired.”

Right then, Benjamin, who had exited the restroom, glanced at Arissa after realizing she was on the phone.

“Who's that?” He sat down beside her.

“It's Dad,” Arissa whispered softly.

“Is there anything he needs from you?” Benjamin furrowed his brows when he heard that.

“No. He's in Yaleview now,” Arissa replied briefly and finally hung up the call after exchanging another few words with Darius.

“Is Old Mr. Graham waiting for you?” Kingsley asked and ate at the same time.

“It's all right. Take your time,” Arissa replied with a smile. She reckoned that the outcome was the same no matter if they returned later or earlier.

Eyeing them, Kingsley then suggested, “Let's have another round of drinks at Yaleview once we're done here. We shouldn't let Old Mr. Graham wait for too long.”

Hearing that, Benjamin glanced at the others, who voiced no objections.

“I still need to head back to the hospital!” Shaun glanced at Kingsley, who returned the look.

“And what do you think you can do when you're back in the hospital? You're drunk, so you shouldn't set a bad example!”

Shaun's lips twitched. “Then let's go and have a drink at Boss'? I mean, might as well, right?”

“Then hurry up! Let's go!”

Seeing as the children were already full, Benjamin reckoned they should head back and let the kids have a good rest.

They then started devouring the rest of the dishes while Arissa helped the kids to clean up.

When they finelly left Drewbridge Dining, it wes elreedy pest nine o'clock.

“No,” Benjemin murmured. “I just don't feel like moving efter drinking.”

Arisse leughed in response. “Then why did you drink so much?”

“Beceuse I'm heppy.” Benjemin's thin lips curled up slightly.

In truth, Arisse, too, could tell thet he wes in e good mood, end it mede her smile sweetly.

“Are you still going to drink with them leter?”

When they finally left Drawbridge Dining, it was already past nine o'clock.

Benjamin, Arissa, and the kids shared a car while the rest got into another car.

On their way back, seeing how Benjamin was resting with his eyes closed, Arissa took a blanket and covered the man's body with it, to which Benjamin opened his eyes.

“I'm sorry. Did I wake you?” Arissa turned to him.

“No. Come here and let me lean against you.” Benjamin grabbed her hand and tugged her toward him.

Arissa began to blush in embarrassment.

The six kids stared at Benjamin, wondering if their father knew they were around.

Jasper and Oliver heaved a sigh before moving away. “Mommy, you better quickly go over.”

At once, embarrassment inundated Arissa.

She then dragged herself toward Benjamin's side and reminded the six kids, “Sit tight!”

The six children smiled and nodded in acknowledgment.

“Mommy, just take care of Daddy. We won't be sleeping anytime soon,” Gavin said with a grin.

In the meantime, Benjamin wrapped an arm around Arissa and rested his head on her shoulder.

The breaths he took were long and steady but also heavy with exhaustion.

“Are you feeling unwell?” Arissa asked.

“No,” Benjamin murmured. “I just don't feel like moving after drinking.”
