You More Than Anything In The World

Chapter 598

Utterly pleased, Arissa kissed him again.

In the meantime, Gavin and the others were eavesdropping on their conversation outside the door.

Meanwhile, Jesse tiptoed toward her brothers, scratching her head at what they were up to. She poked Jasper and Oliver's shoulders with her finger.

“Stop disturbing me!” Jasper moved to shrug her finger off in frustration.

When Oliver turned and saw Jesse, he gestured at her to be quiet.

“What are you doing?” She lowered her voice and pressed her ears onto the door inquisitively.

“Mommy is having a chat with Tim inside!” Zachary explained to her before letting out a sigh. Our instinct is proven right. Mommy knows everything! Mr. Hinton must have investigated the matter for her!

“How did Mommy manage to find out? Did she investigate it?” Gavin walked aside; his forehead creased into a frown.

Zachary threw a glance at him and responded resignedly, “Mr. Hinton helped her dig into the matter.”


Right that instant, the door opened abruptly. Arissa emerged with Tim in her arms and was astounded when the other five kids came into sight.

She scanned them and questioned, “Are you guys eavesdropping on our conversation?”

The others' hearts skipped a beat. Jasper explained earnestly, “Mommy, we're worried stiff about you and Tim!”

Arissa let out a chuckle and bent down to put Tim down. “How much have you heard?”

Jesse retorted, “Mommy, I didn't hear anything as I've just come over. Great-grandaunt is asleep!”

Arissa did not doubt her words.

Gavin asked, “Mommy, how did you find out Tim was beaten?”

Arissa gazed at them and explained, “I had a bad feeling after your great-grandaunt talked about him. That's why I requested Mr. Hinton investigate him.”

All the six kids finally had a grasp of the situation.

Jasper piped up, “Mommy, he has been arrested...”

“Shh!” Arissa motioned to him to lower his voice.

Oliver knocked his head hastily. “Lower your voice! Don't let Great-grandaunt hear that!”

Jasper stuck his tongue out and smiled sheepishly before asking softly, “Hasn't Great-grandaunt known about it?”

Tim chimed in, “I'd told Great-grandaunt earlier about it. However, she was receiving her treatment when I lodged the police report. Hence, she doesn't know what happened.”

Arissa felt a stabbing pain in her heart at the sight of the fury on Tim's face when he mentioned Raphael.
