Chapter 866 Rosetta Tags Along
“Of course, I’ll drink!” Kingsley replied before clinking glasses with Benjamin. With that,
the latter placed his wine glass down and gestured for everyone to start tucking into their
meal.
Just as they were enjoying the food, Aaron finally turned up. “Oh! Everyone’s here!” he
exclaimed, albeit rather sheepishly. “I’m the latest, aren’t I?”
“Not at all! We’ve only just started. Come on in!” Kingsley greeted warmly. Aaron promptly
did as instructed, and only then did the group see who he had brought along.
“Hi, guys!” Rosetta said cheerily. Needless to say, everyone was shocked, especially since
they thought Aaron would show up with his wife. No one had expected to see Rosetta
instead.
Kingsley’s smile quickly faded as he glared at Aaron. The latter, on the other hand, looked
utterly helpless. While Shaun and the rest nodded politely in response, Benjamin ignored
the woman and turned his attention to Aaron.
“Take a seat, Aaron. We’ve only just begun!” As a glint flashed across her eyes, Arissa
hurriedly chimed in, “Yes, please join us! We’ve only just started eating.”
“Thank you, Arissa!” Aaron replied smilingly before sitting with Shaun and the

Ethen jumped up from his.
“Here, Ms. Adams. You can have my seat!” After giving up his seat so Rosetta could sit
with Aaron, Ethen quickly plopped himself down next to Benjamin.
The smile on Rosetta’s face froze for a moment, but it wasn’t long before she recomposed
herself and nodded cheerfully. “Sure!”
Alas, with her around, the atmosphere no longer felt as fun and relaxed as
before. “Everyone, I’d like to apologize for being late by giving a toast!” Aaron exclaimed
as he raised his glass and downed the wine.
Straightforward as always, Kingsley shot him a look and blurted out, “Aaron, why didn’t
you bring your wife along? You could’ve informed us earlier that your sister was coming
instead!”
“My wife couldn’t join us because one of her friends was in an accident. I’ll bring her along
next time,” Aaron murmured, his voice gradually becoming softer. “Anyway, Rosetta
insisted on tagging along when she found out I was coming here for dinner. I didn’t have a
choice…”
Meanwhile, Rosetta was quietly studying everyone at the table until the sight of the six
children sitting beside Arissa took her aback.
As it turned out, the little ones were also staring at her, except their eyes were full of
hostility and contempt.
“Benjamin, who are those—”
However, before she could finish her question, Aaron hastily tugged at her hand to shut
her up. “Rosetta!”
Naturally, the six children became even more annoyed when they heard how intimately
she had addressed their father.
They turned to look at Arissa, only to find her seemingly unbothered and eating her food
quietly. Nevertheless, they couldn’t stop themselves from worrying.
Benjamin’s face, too, had turned incredibly solemn as he gave Rosetta a cold-eyed stare.
“Ms. Adams, I’ve already reminded you yesterday not to call me with that tone lest people
get the wrong idea!”
Try as she might, Rosetta couldn’t hide her pained expression. “I—”
“Eat your food and stop talking!” Aaron interrupted angrily.

My goodness. Can’t Rosetta see that Benjamin has no romantic feelings for her? Why else
would he be hosting this dinner tonight?
The next second, Aaron turned to Benjamin with an apologetic look. “I’m sorry, Benjamin. I
didn’t mean to ruin your mood.”
The latter shot him a sideways glance and replied, “Don’t let it happen again!”
With that, Aaron finally heaved a sigh of relief and raised his glass to give a toast to the
couple.
“Benjamin, Arissa, congratulations on your marriage! Who knew you guys would be so
much more efficient than me?”
“Thank you,” Benjamin answered before clinking glasses with Aaron.
Arissa, too, chimed in, “Thank you!”
Rosetta, however, still had her doubts. I can’t believe they’ve gotten their marriage
certificate already! Those six kids are clearly Benjamin’s, but are they also Arissa’s?
“Have you guys really collected your marriage certificate?” she asked.
Despite feeling the weight of Rosetta’s stare, Arissa merely smiled and placed more food
on her children’s plates.
“Eat up, Sweethearts!”
Nodding in unison, the children broke into cherubic smiles. “Thank you, Mommy!”
Rosetta frowned and clenched her fists. Mommy?
