Brushing Their Teeth Together
Kingsley pointed at Benjamin furiously. He was at a loss for words.
Shaun gloated over his defeat. “Hah! Serves you right.”
“Are you stupid? Weren’t you punished as well? How could you laugh at me?” Kingsley glared at him.
“You were the one who dragged me into this.”
Shaun scowled. “Can you please stop messing with Benjamin?”
He reckoned he would have been punished again if Benjamin wasn’t in a good mood just now.
Kingsley said to Shaun in a low voice, “Hey, don’t you think he’s in a really good mood today?”
“Well, obviously. You wouldn’t be standing here right now if he wasn’t in a good mood,” Shaun replied.
Kingsley pursed his lips. He’s right.
He took his breakfast out and dug in.
“We’re not going to wait for them?”
Shaun was amused as he watched Kingsley wolf down the food.
“I think they’re still brushing their teeth. Anyway, I’m almost dying of hunger. I need to console my
frightened self.”
Kingsley was so loud that Arissa could hear everything from the restroom.
She gave Benjamin a look out of the corner of her eye when he entered the restroom.
Benjamin reached for his toothbrush, squeezed some toothpaste on, and brushed his teeth.
Arissa shuddered when she realized how close he was to her. She simply needed to lean back a little
and she would be in his arms.
“Can’t you scoot over to the other side?”
She was worried that her hair might be splattered with foam even though Benjamin was a lot taller than
her.
Benjamin looked at the woman in the mirror and scoffed.
Fine.
He’s the boss.
With that thought, Arissa moved over to the other side to wash her face.
She was already done washing up when Benjamin finished brushing his teeth.
I want to pee. But I think I should do it later.
“Mrs. Graham, come and have some breakfast!”
Kingsley and Shaun called out to Arissa.
She smiled and nodded in response. “Oh, okay. You can dig in first. I’m going to tidy things up.”
Arissa made up the bed and went into the restroom to relieve herself after Benjamin was done washing
up.
“Benjamin, come and have breakfast!” Kingsley gave him a look.
Benjamin walked over and sat down. He glanced at the breakfast they brought and frowned.
Kingsley and Shaun looked at him and knew he was about to pick on the food.
“Dig in first. That’s all they have around here.” Shaun smiled.
Benjamin felt a little annoyed. I guess she won’t be making breakfast for me anymore since they’ve
already bought breakfast.
“Come on, dig in. It’s hygienic and tasty. You should try commoner food from time to time. Don’t act like
such a dignified creature.”
Kingsley handed him some sausages.
Benjamin glanced at his hand but didn’t accept it.
Kingsley’s lips twitched. D*mn it. How can someone be so difficult to deal with?
“Hey, I never complained about you leaving us up on the mountain and even bought breakfast for you.
You should be grateful.”
“Did I ask you to buy me breakfast?” Benjamin shot him a look.
Kingsley was rendered speechless. What the heck?
“Here, Benjamin, have some oatmeal porridge instead. Avoid the oily stuff for now.”
Shaun handed him a bowl of oatmeal porridge.
“Are you feeling better now?”
Shaun noticed that his face and neck weren’t as red as before.
“Yeah.”
Benjamin stirred his oatmeal porridge, took a spoonful, and ate it.
Hmm, the taste’s all right I guess.
Just then, Arissa walked over and sat down beside Benjamin since that was the only seat left. “Wow.
So much food.”
“We had to buy enough for four.”
Kingsley chewed as he spoke.
Arissa smiled and picked up a sandwich. “This is good.”
Kingsley arched a brow and shot Benjamin a look. “At least someone has good taste.”
Benjamin glanced at him. “Don’t you know that you’re supposed to eat with your mouth shut?”
Kingsley was rendered speechless once again.
Meanwhile, Shaun smiled and kept quiet.
After taking a few bites, Arissa reached out for a piece of ravioli.
“Did you guys really spend the night on the mountain yesterday?”
She noticed the two men were still wearing yesterday’s clothes and had dark circles under their eyes.
The moment Arissa brought this up, Kingsley took this opportunity to complain about how cruel
Benjamin had been to them.
