Chapter 976

Bryan asked, “Does this mean I can't have a meal here if you didn't invite me?”

“Do you look like you want to eat?” Darius glared at him.

Bryan's pride was hurt when he noticed no one welcomed his presence.

Even the six children didn't bother to greet him.

“Fine! All of you enjoy your meal then!” Upon standing up, Bryan sauntered into the living room instead of leaving.

Darius was pissed off. Is he ruining our appetite on purpose?

As he turned to the children and Arissa, his expression grew tender. “Ignore him! Let's eat.”

Arissa felt somewhat awkward after looking at the Graham men's interaction.

Aside from Gavin, who seemed to have been used to the scene, the other five children were visibly uncomfortable.

Benjamin looked at the children and softly encouraged, “Eat!” novelbin

Then, he put some food on Arissa's plate and comforted her, “Enjoy the food. Ignore everything else.”

Upon nodding, she continued eating.

“Eat up, children.” Darius spoke tenderly as he placed food on the kids' plates.

“Thank you, Grandpa!”

The children's lovable behavior melted the old man's heart and cheered him up.

He also placed some food on Arissa's plate. “You should eat more, Issa.”

In response, she smiled. “Thank you, Dad!”

“Eat! Don't let Bryan affect your mood!” he enthusiastically urged.

“You should eat too, Dad,” said Benjamin as he also served his father some food, which was something he seldom did.

That action of his lifted the old man's mood significantly.

As the family continued to enjoy their dinner, Bryan sat in the living room alone. Even the butler and housekeepers didn't acknowledge his presence.

William didn't have the nerve to greet him as his employer didn't instruct him to do so.

Instead, he remained in the dining room, busying himself to serve the family.

The longer Bryan waited, the more ticked off he appeared. The harmonious scene in the dining room frustrated him to no end. Dad is biased! When was the last time he treated my family as well as that? I've never even seen him showering my son with that much affection. He only cares about Benjamin's children!

Everyone ignored Bryan even after dinner.

Since Darius wasn't paying attention to him, everyone else had even less reason to do so.

The six children kept their grandfather company, whereas Benjamin brought Arissa to a room upstairs.

Bryan was sick of getting ignored.

Hence, suppressing his anger, he shouted at Benjamin, who was heading upstairs. “Let's talk, Benjamin!”

Benjamin was holding Arissa's hand when he peered downstairs as though he was a king looking down on a dissenter.

In response, Bryan frowned. He was unhappy about the fact that he was intimidated by his younger brother's overwhelming aura.

“There's nothing for us to talk about.” Benjamin didn't even bother to show him a shred of respect as he spat coldly, “I've told you everything I wanted to say. It's up to you how you want to deal with it!”

He then guided Arissa upstairs, leaving the enraged Bryan in the living room.

You are a cruel, ruthless man, Benjamin!

When Darius brought the children over to the stairs, he was unhappy to see Bryan's expression. “Are you staring at your sworn enemy or something?”

Panicking, Bryan concealed the scowl on his face and turned to his father. “Don't you think it's unfair that Benjamin is doing whatever he pleases?”

Darius shot a look of disdain at his son. “If you're just as capable as him, you can do the same. Benjamin earned everything he owned right now with hard work. If you want to talk about fairness, I'd say he's the one who received the most unfair treatment in this family. He never desired anything from me, while the rest of you only know how to depend on me. Instead of antagonizing your brother, you should use this time to devise a plan to improve your business!”

Even though he had provided his first two sons' families with many benefits, they still weren't satisfied.
