While Tim was getting water for Benjamin, Arissa took over and fed Mary.

When she heard Benjamin talking to the child, her eyes widened.

Since when did he tell the child about his identity?

He should have told me, so I won't have to tiptoe around.

If that's the case, the boy must know who we are then.

Arissa glanced at them and saw Tim sitting rigidly on Benjamin's lap.

Even Tim's small face looked really tense. She reminded Benjamin, “Benjamin, don't scare Tim!”

Benjamin looked up and glanced at her before returning his attention to the boy.

That was when he released his hands and said, “If they bully you, you have to tell me!”

“They never,” responded Tim softly.

Feeling that he was acknowledging Benjamin, the boy pursed his lips, jumped off from Benjamin's lap, and even smoothened his clothes.

Benjamin's heart skipped a beat. This boy is very endearing.

Gavin, Zachary, Oliver, Jasper, and Jesse saw that Tim seemed a little scared of their daddy.

“Tim, come over here and take a seat. Let's have some fruit!”

Zachary was very welcoming to Tim.

However, Tim shook his head and ran over to Mary.

When he saw that Arissa was feeding Mary, he tugged at her clothes before saying, “Ms. York, I'll feed Grandma. You go and sit over there!”


Arissa turned to look at her son lovingly and said, “It's fine. I will do it. Go play with Gavin and the rest of them!”

Tim remained by the bedside and watched as Arissa fed Mary.

When Arissa saw Tim standing next to her, she pulled him over and said, “Help me blow at the soup and cool it down!”

Tim just cast a glance at her and used the spoon to stir the soup to cool it down.

When Arissa saw that, she was thrilled. She was not expecting him to accept her so soon. She could wait.

“Mdm. Mary, take your time and eat slowly!”

Arissa was very patient and fed Mary as if she was feeding a child.

Once in a while, she would clean Mary's mouth and even coax her.

Mary was very touched. “Issa, there's no need to feed me. I can eat by myself.”

“It's all right. Anyway, I have nothing to do. I slept on the way here, so I'm not tired at all,” said Arissa with a smile.

She continued to feed her.

Seeing that she was so determined, Mary did not refuse her kindness anymore.

Once Mary was done with her meal, Arissa fed her with some soup.

Worried that it might be too hot for her, Arissa cooled it down by blowing on it before giving it to Mary.

“Be careful.”

“Okay.”

Mary looked at her adoringly. This girl is genuinely good to me. She isn't putting up a front.
