You More Than Anything In The World

“Even if you don't want to eat, you should drink this soup to warm your stomach first,” Arissa suggested.

Benjamin met her caring look, apologized to the other person on the phone, and ended the call. “Let's eat!”

Shaun, Kingsley, and Ethen were shocked. He really listens to Arissa.

The three of them stared at the couple.

The six children also sneakily glanced at the couple as they smiled.

They were pretty happy.

Gavin whispered, “Daddy's listening to Mommy more and more now!”

Zachary added, “Mr. Graham has been getting more intimate with Mommy. Not bad.”

The children were glad to see the couple getting along well.

“I'll give you this egg, Mommy!” Jesse put an egg on her plate onto her mother's plate.

“Thank you, Sweetheart!” Arissa bent down to kiss her forehead before eating it. “Tasty!”

Jesse smiled. “Isn't it tasty, Mommy?”

“Mmm!” she replied and helped put food into her children's bowls. “Let's finish quickly! Once we're done, we'll go and buy the phone!”

“Okay!” the children replied and increased their eating speed.

“Phone? For who?” Kingsley was curious.

Shaun and Ethen turned their attention to her.

Arissa answered, “I'm buying a phone for Tim!”

“Why the hassle? I can just ask Ethen to buy one later.” Benjamin glanced at Ethen.

Ethen didn't mind as he looked at Arissa, awaiting her order. “I can go and buy one now, Ms. York. Aren't you going back to the hospital?”

“I'm not in a rush. I just want to take them out on a shopping trip. They have been staying in the hospital for the entire day. It was boring them out of their minds, so I thought it'll be best if I take them outside for a stroll and relax.”

“Don't talk while eating.” Benjamin swept his gaze across them.

Everyone smiled and continued their meal in silence.

Arissa glanced at Benjamin, but when he did the same, she looked away.

“You should eat more of these!” He put the wild mushrooms on his plate onto hers.

She blinked. “You aren't going to eat it?”

“I don't like it!” Benjamin began drinking the mushroom soup.

The edge of her mouth twitched.

He would occasionally put food onto her plate, causing her to always have food on her plate. She turned to him.

He explained, “These provide your body with the nutritions it needs. You should eat more, so you won't faint easily.”

Pft!

Kingsley failed to hold it back. That sounded so romantic.

Shaun and Ethen lowered their heads and held back their chuckles.

The children looked at Arissa caringly.

Gavin said, “You've been taking care of Mdm. Mary for the entire day, Mommy. You should eat more so you have the energy!”

Jasper agreed, “That's right! This is for you, Mommy!”

The children continued to pile food on her plate.

She felt very happy at that moment. “Okay, okay, that's enough. I can't eat the food if you keep adding it to my plate. There's basically a small mountain of food on my plate right now!”

Jesse giggled as she stared at the mound of food on her mother's plate. The other five smiled too.
