Chapter 301 Grandpa Likes Mommy
“Mommy has come down!” the children exclaimed in delight when they saw Arissa.
“Mommy, this is Grandpa! He is here to see you!”
Arissa smiled and approached Darius greet him.
“Old Mr. Graham, it’s a pleasure to meet you. I’m Arissa York.”
“The pleasure is mine.”
Darius’ eyes lit up when he saw Arissa.
She’s a wonderful child indeed, filled with poise and grace. Upon seeing me, she is neither fearful nor
sycophantic.
When she sensed that she was being scrutinized, Arissa felt slightly nervous, especially due to her
awkward identity.
Meanwhile, Benjamin walked up to her side and greeted, “Dad!”
“Mmm-hmm.”

When he saw them standing side by side, he felt that they were a match made in heaven.
Darius nodded in approval as he continued to observe her.
When Arissa looked at Benjamin, he shot her a glance but said nothing.
As a result, Arissa squirmed her lips. Is he going to let me entertain Old Mr. Graham alone?
“Old Mr. Graham, have you had your dinner? If you haven’t, you’re welcome to join us.”
“That’s great, as I haven’t eaten yet. Looks like I came at the perfect time!”
Smiling, Darius added, “There’s no need to feel nervous. I’m here to visit them.”
Darius pointed at the quintuplets.
“Grandpa, didn’t you just say that you were here to see Mommy?”
Jasper narrowed his gaze mischievously.
Darius cleared his throat. “I’m here to see everyone!”
“Grandpa, what do you think about Mommy?”
Jesse held Darius’ hand and shook it.
She was so cute that it was impossible for anyone to resist.
Given how Darius doted on her specifically, he couldn’t resist pinching her nose.
“Your mommy is beautiful, and I like her.”
When the children heard Darius’ words, they were filled with elation.
Turning to Arissa, they exclaimed, “Mommy, Grandpa says that he likes you!”
Arissa smiled awkwardly. “Mmm-hmm. I heard it too.”
When she looked at Darius, she remembered hearing rumors of him being a stern old man, to the
extent his family members would be nervous in front of him.
After all, he was a general who had spent most of his time in the army. Hence, it wasn’t a surprise
people fear him naturally.
Even though he had retired for a few years, the gravitas he emitted hardly diminished at all, causing
everyone to respect him.
When Arissa scrutinized Darius in return, she felt that his compliments were sincere and not just meant
to humor the children. Consequently, her mind was put at ease.
Regardless of whether she ended up with Benjamin in the end, to be able to gain Darius’ approval was
something to be proud of.
Furthermore, the children would also be delighted that their grandfather approved of their mother.
“Come, let’s have dinner first.” Darius led the children to the dining hall.
As for Kingsley, he followed them with a smile.
Meanwhile, the butler from Darius’ residence had also brought some food over.

When she felt his warm breath, Arissa rubbed her ear and shot him a glare.
“How can you stand there and not say a word?”
Benjamin raised his brows. “Dad wasn’t talking to me. It would be rude for me to interrupt.”
Arissa was stumped. That’s your father for goodness sake. Isn’t it better for you to be glared at than for
me to be questioned?
Luckily, Darius didn’t inquire much. Or else, she would have been put in a spot.
“It’s time for dinner!” Benjamin announced as he headed to the dining room.
When he noticed that she didn’t move, he turned around and reminded her with a smile, “Come over
quickly, or do you want to make Dad wait for you?”
After giving him the side-eye, Arissa hurried to the dining room, leaving Benjamin behind.
Chuckling to himself, Benjamin followed her there.
Darius sat at the head of the table while Kingsley was seated with the children on one side.
“Please sit. There’s no need to be so formal,” Darius invited Arissa.
She nodded with a smile. “Mmm-hmm.”
Subsequently, Benjamin pulled out her chair for her in a chivalric manner.
Arissa glanced at him before taking her seat.
