You More Than Anything In The World

Chapter 362 Tying A Tie For Benjamin

“Jesse, can I hold you?” Edwin asked, reaching out for the girl.

Jesse shook her head and dodged Edwin’s outstretched arms.

Arissa smiled in amusement and said to her daughter, “Mr. Whitley wants to hold you. Won’t you let him?”

“No! I want Mommy to hold me!”

Jesse wrapped her little arms around Arissa and pressed her face into her neck, inhaling her mother’s scent happily.

Mommy smells so good!

Benjamin frowned when he saw her blissful expression.

It’s unbecoming for a child to be so attached to her mother.

“Sweetheart, your mommy has been carrying you for a long time. Her arms are tired. Why don’t you walk on your own?” Benjamin said with a frown.

Jesse glanced at Benjamin and saw his serious expression. Guilt flooded into her little heart.

She whispered to Arissa, “Mommy, you can put me down now! I can walk!”

Arissa noticed Jesse’s timid expression. She turned and saw the stern look on Benjamin’s face.

He says he wants to bond with the children and yet, he treats them so sternly…

“Mommy, we’re done! Let’s go and have breakfast!” Gavin said, running over with his three younger brothers.

“Let’s go then!”
