Chapter 292

They Still Care About You

“Honestly, I don’t get why Daddy would befriend a talkative person like you!” Gavin replied with a
defiant snort.

Zachary was curious about that as well. “You really are exceptionally talkative, Mr. Watts!” he said with
a cheeky grin.



“You too? Boohoo…”

Kingsley stared at them with sad puppy dog eyes.

“Jasper is as talkative as you are!” Zachary added.

Jasper shot him an angry look. “Hey! I’m not that talkative!”

Oliver snickered. “Yes, you are! You’re the most talkative one whenever we’re together!”

Suddenly, Kingsley noticed that Jesse had been rather quiet and turned to look at her, only to realize
she had finished his entire plate of pasta.

So, that’s why she was so quiet… She was eating the whole time!

“Hehe… Hi, Mr. Watts!”

Jesse flashed him a smile when she realized she had been caught in the act. She looked so adorable
with her dimples and innocent face that Kingsley couldn’t even get mad at her.

“Don’t you feel bloated after eating so much?” Kingsley asked while ruffling her short hair.



The fact that Benjamin was still unaware that he had a daughter amused Kingsley to no end.

Jesse shook her head. “Nope!”

“Jesse has a really huge appetite!” Jasper added with a chuckle.

That was the reason Jesse looked a little chubbier than the other siblings.

“You kids want anything else? I’ll go get you some food from downstairs!” Kingsley asked.

“We’ll eat downstairs. Mr. Whitley should have the food ready by now,” Gavin replied as he headed
downstairs with the other siblings following closely behind him.

Kingsley too, went downstairs with them out of curiosity.



The kids ran straight for the dining room when they detected the fragrant aroma coming from inside.

“What did you make, Mr. Whitley?” Oliver asked while swallowing excitedly.

“Popcorn chicken! Go sit down at the table. I’ll serve it up in a minute!” Edwin replied with a loving smile
when he saw them standing at the door.

He then brought them a plate of it and watched as they happily helped themselves to the food.

“It’s delicious!” Jesse commented while licking her lips.

“Feel free to eat as much as you like. There’s more in the kitchen! It’s hot, so make sure to slow down
or you might burn your tongue!” Edwin reminded them before heading back into the kitchen to heat up
some milk.



Kingsley ate a few pieces of popcorn chicken and went off to see Benjamin in the study.

“You sure are energetic today, Boss!” he exclaimed with a smile as he sat down in front of Benjamin’s
desk.

“Not as energetic as you are!” Benjamin retorted with a hint of sarcasm in his voice.

Kingsley had actually stayed up the entire night and only slept for a few hours by the time he got home.

As he couldn’t go back to sleep after waking up, he decided to get out of bed.

“I couldn’t sleep after having a nightmare!” Kingsley ranted.

Benjamin looked up at him and asked, “Why did you tell Gavin and the others that I was sick? You’ll
just make them worry about me.”

“You’re all better now, aren’t you? They won’t be so worried if they find out after you’ve recovered. I told
them about it on the way here, and you should’ve seen how anxious they got! They kept urging me to
drive faster! This shows that they still care about you a lot! What, are you not happy that your kids are
concerned about you?” Kingsley replied with a chuckle.
