Chapter 853 Wife

Darius genuinely didn’t feel like joining Arissa and the others. “We’ll stay here for a while

before heading home. Dinner will be waiting for us when we get back! Initially, I wanted to

invite you all back to Old Manor for a meal, but since you all have decided to eat outside,

then go ahead! No need to mind me.”

Arissa looked at him apologetically. “We’ll join you for dinner tomorrow, Dad!”

A chuckle escaped his mouth as he stared at her. “I’ll be waiting, then!”

“I’ll let Benjamin know about it later!”

Darius nodded.

While the children played with their grandfather, Arissa approached Mary with the intent

of feeding her dinner.

“I’ll eat dinner a little later, Issa. I hadn’t digested the meal I had during the afternoon

yet!” Mary smiled as she gestured for Arissa to spend time with Darius.

“In that case, feel free to eat it when you’re hungry!” Arissa tucked her under the blanket,

caressed the back of her hand where she received the injection, and went to accompany

Darius.

When Shaun returned to the room to refill the IV drip, he greeted Darius, “You’re here, Old

Mr. Graham?”

“I just arrived!” the old man replied.

Seeing that the doctor was busy, he turned around and drank his coffee.

“Get some sleep if you’re feeling tired, Mdm. Mary,” Shaun reminded. “When you wake up,

it’ll be the perfect time for you to eat!”

“I’m still not tired yet.” Grinning, Mary spoke as she watched the children talking to

Darius.

Shaun nodded.

“Come here, Shaun!” Darius exclaimed.

With a smile, Arissa gestured for Shaun to come over. “Come and drink coffee with us, Mr.

Bailey!”

Upon joining them, Shaun drank some coffee with Darius. “Have some more coffee, Old

Mr. Graham!”

The old man chuckled. “It’s been a long while since we drank coffee together, Shaun. Say,

if you keep busying about in the hospital, when are you going to find a wife?”

The edges of Shaun’s lips twitched. Now that Benjamin’s married, Old Mr. Graham is

turning his attention to me?

“I’m simply too busy, Old Mr. Graham. I don’t have time to look for a partner. Do you think

everyone’s like Benjamin? People don’t just suddenly have six children. I’m not as lucky as

him!” He laughed.

That made Arissa feel awkward.

Darius shot a glare at Shaun before grinning. “I suppose he is quite lucky. If he didn’t come

across Issa, he wouldn’t have that many children!”

“That’s why I need time to look for a partner.” A smirk surfaced on Shaun’s face.

“Your grandfather must be anxious!”

The edges of Shaun’s mouth twitched before he joked, “If you don’t bring it up in front of

my grandfather, he won’t panic about it, Old Mr. Graham.”

“Your grandfather is super jealous of me!” Darius laughed.

The children stared at them unblinkingly.

Oliver joined the conversation. “When are you going to find a wife, Mr. Bailey?”

Glancing at the young boy, Shaun exclaimed, “Kids shouldn’t talk nonsense!”

Oliver stuck his tongue out.

It was then a female nurse called out for Shaun at the entrance, “Dr. Bailey?”

“What’s the matter?” Shaun turned to the door.

“Our director is looking for you!” The nurse pointed in a direction.

After thanking her, Shaun bade Darius goodbye and left. He couldn’t wait to leave the

ward because they were pestering him about getting a wife.

“I’ll treat you to a meal another day!” He spoke to the female nurse.

A joyous blush appeared on the nurse’s face. “Okay!”

She was over the moon that the handsome doctor was treating her to a meal.

Inside the ward, Darius commented, “Hmph! He sure runs fast.”

Amused, Arissa smiled and asked the old man to eat some snacks.

“You all should eat too!” He stared at her and her children.

The first person he gave two snacks to was Jesse. “Come over here, Jesse!”

“Thank you, Grandpa!” Jesse thanked him with a tender voice.

When she smiled, dimples appeared on her cheeks, which made her look very adorable.

She took a bite of the snack in her left hand and then another bite of the snack in her right

hand. From her expression, anyone could tell she was enjoying herself.

The sight made Darius and William happy.

“Come, there are snacks for everyone!” The old man continued to distribute snacks to her

other siblings.

Each of them got two pieces of snack.

“You should eat too, Issa! William, give Mdm. Mary some, too.”

“Thanks, Dad.” Arissa accepted with a smile.
