You More Than Anything In The World

Chapter 599

Arissa was stunned. Huh? That's really fast!

She nodded and reassured the kids, “I'll discuss about it with him later.”

They nodded solemnly. “Okay! Coincidentally, we're thinking of asking for Daddy's help too!”

Seeing that the kids shared the same sentiments with her, Arissa crouched in front of them and advised, “Keep it mum from Great-grandaunt first so she won't be upset, okay?”

“Okay!” All the kids nodded in unison.

Arissa stroked their heads lovingly as she sank into contemplation. She had no choice but to keep things under wrap from Mary temporarily. We'd better find an ideal time before telling her the truth. Now that her condition is still unstable, we mustn't take the risk of triggering her emotion.

Moments later, Benjamin was back.

He narrowed his eyes when he caught sight of Regan outside the hospital. Paying no heed to the man, he stepped into the building directly, with Ethen trailing behind him.

They were both wearing sunglasses, and Regan did not recognize them. Ethen could not help snorting inwardly. Hmph! What a lowly small fry!

Kingsley quickened his pace to catch them up. “Ah! Benjamin, you're back! Do I still have to keep an eye on that man?”

“Carry on with that!” Benjamin only replied briefly before stepping into the elevator.

“Where did you go?” Kingsley asked inquisitively. He stopped the door from closing with half of his body inside the elevator.

“To the town!” Benjamin shot him a glance.

Kingsley's curiosity was piqued, and he was about to ask further, but Ethen shoved him out. “Mr. Watts, continue to keep an eye on him!”

Low in spirits, the former could only continue to stand guard as instructed.

Seconds later, something came to his mind. Since Arissa is upstairs all the time, I guess there won't be any issue if I'm not here!

“Continue to keep an eye on him! I'll go up a while,” he instructed a few bodyguards before entering the elevator.

Moments later, Benjamin arched his brows when he noticed Arissa sitting alone on the bench. None of the six kids was by her side at the moment.

“Why are you sitting alone here?” he asked right away.

Arissa's eyes lit up upon hearing his voice. “Ah! You're back!”

She got to her feet and kept her eyes glued to his face.

Mary was still asleep, and the kids were in the lounge. Hence, she stepped out to sit on the bench while waiting for him.

Looking intently into her glittering eyes, there was a flicker of inexplicit emotion in Benjamin's eyes.

“Are you waiting for me here?” he mumbled.

Arissa chuckled. “Yeah! I've something to discuss with you.”

Benjamin took off his sunglasses and sat next to her. “What is it?”

Arissa looked at him and questioned, “Did you go to Rutaceae Village?”

“How did you know that?” A hint of surprise flashed across Benjamin's eyes. Other than Ethen and a few bodyguards who went along with him, nobody else was supposed to know about that.

“Bradley was there too. He saw you stepping out of the police station.” Arissa did not beat around the bush.

Leaning against the bench with his long legs crossed, Benjamin exuded a vibe of idleness. “You assigned him to investigate Raphael, didn't you?”

“Yeah!” Dumbfounded, Arissa gave a thumbs-up inwardly at Benjamin's perfect guess. Good gracious! What a smart man!
