You More Than Anything In The World

“Let's eat. There's no need to wait for Mommy. We can leave some food for her,” Zachary declared.

He urged his siblings to eat up.

The kids ate their breakfast and waited for Arissa patiently. Fortunately, they weren't in a rush. Otherwise, they would've been late.

Shortly after, Benjamin grew impatient. He placed the papers aside and got up.

The kids promptly giggled when they realized what he was about to do.

Benjamin strode into the room. Arissa was still inside the bathroom, so he went there instantly.

Knock, knock!

Inside, Arissa jolted in fright, for the sound was too loud and shocked her senseless.

“What are you doing inside?” Benjamin's sound boomed out.

Arissa's lips twitched. “What do you want?”

She couldn't bring herself to say that she was on the toilet.

“I was afraid you fell into the toilet.”

Benjamin heaved a sigh of relief after confirming she was all right.

Arissa gaped in disbelief.

“Leave me alone. I'll come out soon!” she told him.

After his figure left the room, Arissa flushed the toilet.

She washed her face before walking out of the room.

At the sight of Benjamin on the couch, she halted in her tracks.

It was an awkward moment.

“Won't you have breakfast?” she asked as she went over to him.

Benjamin observed her carefully. As she seemed to be in good spirits, he got up and left the room.

What a weirdo! Arissa grumbled to herself before following him out.

Upon spotting her, the kids greeted her excitedly.

“Mommy, hurry up! We're about to finish everything.”

Arissa chuckled and joined them. “It's fine. If you finish everything, I can order more food.”

They were at a hotel, so it would be convenient for her to order anything she wanted anytime.

When Benjamin took a seat beside Arissa, she shot him a look.

“Eat up. We need to go to the hospital later,” Benjamin told her.

Arissa took one look at the spread on the table and began eating. She took one bite of the food and drank a mouthful of milk. She then stuffed another bite into her mouth.

Her cheeks were all puffed up. She looked like a hamster as she munched on her food swiftly.

An unfathomable glint flashed past Benjamin's eyes. She looks like a kid when she eats.

Glancing at the kids, he noticed how Gavin resembled her when he was gulping down the food.

Tim was still shy and munched on his food slowly. He couldn't bring himself to finish all the delicious food.

“Sweetheart, eat up. If it's not enough, we can order more!” Arissa urged.

She helped the kids with the food without missing out on any of them.

“Got it!'

The kids nodded obediently and chewed on their food.

The family sat around the dining table and ate together. It was a pleasant sight.

After breakfast, Arissa asked, “If Mdm. Mary can leave with us, will we depart back to Dellmoor from the hospital? Or will we come back here later?”
