Chapter 753 Or Are You Unwilling
Seeing that Arissa and the children were all enjoying the steak, Benjamin eyed the plate of garlic butter steak. “Give
me a piece.”
Arissa cast a look at him. “I thought you don’t eat minced garlic?” At that, Benjamin swept a sharp gaze over her.
“Didn’t you make it for me?”
Warmth suffused Arissa, and she took a piece of steak for him. “Don’t force yourself if you really dislike it. The kids
and I can finish it.”
Benjamin looked at her. Surprisingly, he finished the piece of steak. He stilled for a second when the taste hit him,
for the minced garlic didn’t taste as bad as he expected. “Not bad!” he commented.
Arissa gaped at him. Shooting her a sidelong glance, Benjamin motioned for her to give him a few more pieces.
Thus, Arissa took another piece of steak for him. All six children loved it as well, so they quickly took more.
With that, the entire plate of steak was gone. Benjamin directed his gaze at the children, and they giggled.
“Mommy made this, so we can also eat it!”
“I’ll make it again next time if you all like it,” Arissa turned and promised the children. She then prompted them to

The six children were all delighted. When Arissa saw them all eating with relish, her mood remained upbeat.
Following suit, Benjamin had another helping of pasta as well.
As Edwin clocked it all, sheer gratification deluged him. At that precise moment, Darius came with William. Arissa
swiftly greeted them and invited them to join in for dinner.
The six children were even more exuberant to see their grandfather. They all greeted Darius, putting him in
seventh heaven. After dinner, Darius played with the children in the living room.
Arissa brewed coffee for him in warm hospitality. “There’s no need to bustle about, Issa. I’ll go and look for
Benjamin for a moment,” Darius remarked smilingly.

He then told her to keep the children company while he stood up and went to the study in search of
Benjamin. “Benjamin!”
Benjamin lifted his head, only to see Darius walking in. “Have a seat, Dad.”
Taking a seat on the chair in front of the desk, Darius stared at his son, who was busy with work. This youngest son
of mine is outstanding in everything he does and is my pride, but he’s worrying in some aspects.
“Did you not bring Issa over to register your marriage today?”
“It isn’t time yet,” Benjamin murmured placidly. Darius’ eyes remained fixated on him. “Is it not time yet, or are you
unwilling to do so?”
Benjamin frowned, saying nothing at all.
“Benjamin, Issa is a girl. Don’t put her in an awkward position when she has given birth to six children for you. If you
really don’t want to marry her, don’t have her stay with you. How is she going to get married in the future?”
Raising his head, Benjamin pinned his eyes on Darius. “Do you want to see her taking the six kids away?”
“How is she going to raise six kids alone? She still has to go to work. The kids must be in your custody. If she misses
them, she can come and visit them,” Darius asserted solemnly.
Benjamin narrowed his eyes a fraction as he continued eyeballing the old man.
“You previously promised to allow her to have custody of the kids. Why did you suddenly change your mind?”
“That was because I thought she might marry into the Graham family. Now that you’ve got no feelings for her, it’s

Darius regarded his son stonily without giving the game away.
In response, Benjamin merely snorted. “Instead of worrying about this, you’d be better served worrying about
those few sons of yours.”
Darius’ brows creased deeply in puzzlement. “What’s wrong with them?”
Pressing his lips into a thin line, Benjamin remained silent.
Knowing that he wasn’t getting anything out of his son, Darius heaved a sigh.
“Benjamin, how am I to resolve the problem if you won’t tell me about it?”
Benjamin’s expression went cold.
Helplessness inundated Darius. “I failed to fulfill my responsibilities as a father. I didn’t take good care of you when
you were young. I caused you much suffering. Now, you’ve got children and have become a father yourself. You
have your own family, so you need to consider your children in everything you do. Don’t follow in my footsteps and
make them drift increasingly further away from you.”
He didn’t spell things out, but he knew that Benjamin would understand his meaning.
“Don’t obsess over the past anymore. It’ll only hurt you and those around you.”
