You More Than Anything In The World

Chapter 440 I Am Not Thinking Of Him

Edwin had finished preparing breakfast for the family. At the sight of Arissa and the little ones coming down, he warmly ushered them over to have breakfast. “Good morning, Edwin.”

“Good morning, Mr. Whitley!” The five little ones followed and greeted Edwin. “Good morning, children!” He rubbed their heads adoringly and carried them onto their seats.

During breakfast, Arissa had only eaten a few mouthfuls when she noticed that the five little ones did not have much of an appetite. Even Jesse, who could usually eat a lot of food, took small bites and even picked on her food.

Puzzlement overwhelmed Arissa. “Is there something wrong with you guys?”

Had it only been one of the children who had behaved that way, she would have thought he was ill. But since they all acted the same way, she figured something was off.

The five kids turned to look at each other, then shifted their gazes back to Arissa.

“Nope!”

Arissa knitted her brows together. Nothing’s wrong, yet they’re behaving like this?

“Are you all feeling unwell?”

With that said, she stood up and reached out to touch their foreheads.

“No,” Zachary quickly denied.

Finding that their body temperature was normal, Arissa stared at them, who were, by now, all shaking their heads in denial.

“Mommy, we aren’t unwell!”
