Chapter 861

Smoking Is Bad For Your Health

Gripping the children’s shoulders, Arissa scanned her eyes over them to ensure that all of them were
there. Then, she uttered gently, “Let’s go in!”

“Come on!” Upon seeing that Shaun had also come over, Benjamin entered the restaurant with his arm
still wrapped around her waist. “Fortunately, the traffic wasn’t that bad. Otherwise, we’d only be arriving
a while later,” Shaun remarked with a smile.

Subsequently, he added, “Kingsley called several times to hurry me up. Did he not phone you?” He
glanced at Benjamin. “He phoned me twice,” Benjamin replied placidly, his thin lips parting a smidge.

Arissa chortled. “Mr. Watts phoned twice, but he declined the first call. The second call came right on
the heels of that.” Hearing that, Shaun guffawed before grumbling about Kingsley. “He must have had
nothing better to do to keep calling this person and that!”

Suddenly, Benjamin halted in his tracks. He turned to the man. “Who else did he invite?”

“Just the few of us. Jonathan will be coming over in a bit!” Shaun eyed him dubiously. Nodding,
Benjamin led Arissa and the children in.

The six children held hands. As they walked, Gavin explained the layout of the restaurant to Tim. “The
public restroom is over there, Tim. But we probably won’t have any use for it. We’ll be eating in a
private room, and it comes with an attached restroom.”

Tim had never been there, so his eyes roved around, following Gavin’s introduction. Zachary, Oliver,
Jasper, and Jesse had all been there once, but they were still exceedingly curious about the place and
loved to look around.



Even Arissa couldn’t help scrutinizing the surrounding décor. The restaurant was quaint, seemingly
transporting one back to ancient times. On top of that, all the servers wore gowns, making for a
delightful sight.

“Isn’t it beautiful here, Tim?” Jasper inquired, poking his head out. Tim bobbed his head. “Yup! It’s
beautiful!” At his affirmation, Jasper beamed from ear to ear. “The food here is also delicious! Have
more later!”

Again, Tim nodded shyly. “Watch where you’re going,” Arissa cautioned the children smilingly. “Watch
where you’re going, Mommy!” Jesse parroted. Arissa giggled. “Okay!”

Meanwhile, Benjamin’s thin lips curved upward. Trailing behind them, Shaun was tickled pink as well.
They strolled over to the private room with the children.

Kingsley was waiting at the door. If it weren’t for his dashing posture as he leaned against the wall, one
might mistake him for a server there.

“You’re finally here!” Puffing out a cloud of smoke, he quickly snubbed out the unfinished cigarette.
Benjamin glowered at him. “Didn’t you know that Gavin and the others are joining us for dinner?”

Thereafter, he turned and instructed the children, “Keep away from him.” The corners of Kingsley’s
mouth twitched. He hurried over to the air conditioner to dissipate the stench of cigarettes on him.

At his docility, all six children snickered. “Smoking is bad for your health, Mr. Watts!” Jasper advised,
his eyes shimmering in the light. Kingsley flashed him a sheepish smile before throwing a look at
Benjamin. “Your daddy smokes, too!”

Tilting his head, Jasper studied Benjamin. Does Daddy smoke? I don’t think I’ve ever seen him
smoking. Benjamin rolled his eyes at him and stepped into the private room with the children after



Arissa entered.

Mirth filled Arissa. Shaun likewise shot Kingsley a glare. “You knew Gavin and the others were coming
over for dinner, yet you still smoked. It’s already merciful of Benjamin that he didn’t throw you out.”

“I was just bored while waiting for the lot of you. Unexpectedly, I had only taken a few puffs when you
all arrived.” Kingsley patted his clothes before sauntering in as well.

Taking the menu, Benjamin slid it over to Arissa. “You order!” Delight flooded Arissa. All six children
crowded over, instantly jostling Benjamin out. They all started to place their orders.

“These look yummy!” Tim’s eyes lit up as he stared at the pictures on the menu. Smiling, Arissa slid the
menu closer to him. “Which one do you like, Tim? I’ll order it for you!”
