Chapter 298 Wanting Some Privacy
“Kingsley!” When Benjamin’s voice rang out from the study, Kingsley turned around and walked in.
“Benjamin, what’s up?”
Kingsley grinned at Benjamin. When he noticed the empty plate on the table, his smile broadened.
Just as expected, Arissa does have an impact on him.
Benjamin sharpened his gaze at Kingsley. “Aren’t you going home?”
With a twitch of his lips, Kingsley took a seat opposite Benjamin. Leaning back, he then put his feet on
a corner of the table.
When Benjamin glared at his feet, Kingsley had no choice but to take it off and cross his legs instead.
“I’ll leave after dinner. Don’t tell me you’re not allowing it, are you? Mrs. Graham has invited me to stay
for dinner.”
Even though Benjamin felt that “Mrs. Graham” had a nice ring to it, he replied, “She’s just being polite.”

show me no mercy by chasing me out?”
“I didn’t ask you to do it!” Benjamin snorted as he didn’t want them home.
Widening his eyes, Kingsley stared at Benjamin intently. When it finally dawned upon him, he let out a
cheeky laugh.
“You’re blaming me? Looks like you were looking forward to having some privacy. Why don’t I send
them back to your dad’s place?”
Benjamin rolled his eyes at him. “Anyway, just help me keep an eye on what the media has to say
about them.”
Kingsley nodded. “Don’t worry, I will. What did Mr. Patterson say?”
“Life imprisonment!” Benjamin answered frostily.
Kingsley nodded. “I’m surprised that she has plotted against you for so many years. Benjamin, haven’t
you suspected her before?”
Suddenly, Benjamin emitted a bloodthirsty vibe.
Previously, he had his suspicions but didn’t have any incriminating evidence.
After all, she had schemed for a long time to take advantage of him.
Sensing the change in Benjamin’s mood, Kingsley didn’t continue the topic.
Since Benjamin had left Jonathan in charge of the case, all they had to do now was wait for the verdict.
“Benjamin, it’s not easy for Mrs. Graham to care for the four children alone. Thus, if you’re interested in
her, you had better be more overt about it. Or else, she might leave with your children.”
When Benjamin rolled his eyes at him, Kingsley chuckled. “I’ll check in on Mrs. Graham and see if she
needs any help.”
With that, Kingsley quickly slipped out.
After sitting for a while longer, Benjamin followed him outside too.
“Mrs. Graham, do you need any help?” Kingsley asked with a smile as he walked into the kitchen.
Arissa turned to grin at him and replied, “No, I’m fine. You should go ahead and have a seat.”
“Kids, go play with Mr. Watts!” she instructed the five children.
After all, it was dangerous for them to be in the kitchen, as they were at risk of getting splattered with
hot oil if she wasn’t careful.
“Mr. Watts, you should leave. You managed to arrive only after we have done everything,” Zachary
ridiculed him.
“Exactly!” Oliver and Jasper added.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmJesse narrowed her eyes, “Mr. Watts, do you know how to cook? Why don’t you help Mommy cook
instead?”
Kingsley placed his hands into his pockets. “If I cook, I’m worried that all of you will get a tummy ache
at night!”
“Mr. Watts, you had better leave the kitchen and not get in the way of Mommy cooking.” Gavin pushed
Kingsley out.
Chuckling in response, Kingsley joked when he saw Benjamin approach, “Your kids really resent me
being here.”
Benjamin shot him a icy glare.
When they children looked at Benjamin, he pointed outside.
“Go out and play!”
With that, the children quickly ran out.
As for Kingsley, he didn’t dare linger when he saw Benjamin’s stern expression. Hence, he followed the
children out of the kitchen.
“Wait, Mr. Watts. Why are you running so quickly? Is there a beast chasing after you?”
Meanwhile, Benjamin walked up to Arissa and looked at what she was cooking.
Arissa turned toward him. “Aren’t you busy?”
“I came to check if you’ve made my favorite dishes.”
When Benjamin shot her a glance, Arissa’s lips twitched.
