You More Than Anything In The World

Chapter 655

Arissa scrutinized her face as she asked, “How's the mattress? Is it comfortable? We can get you another one if you don't like it!”

“Do we have hard mattresses here? It's too soft...” Mary said awkwardly.

Arissa smiled and nodded. She turned to Edwin and said, “Edwin, can you replace Grandaunt's mattress with a harder one? She's used to hard mattresses, so it's better to get her one to help with her sleep.”

“Of course. We do have hard mattresses.”

Edwin then instructed the housekeepers to replace Mary's mattress.

“Is it too much trouble?” Mary asked apologetically.

“No.” Edwin smiled. “Anything is fine as long as you are well-rested, Mdm. Mary. Don't be shy. I'm sure Mr. Graham wants you to live comfortably. That's why he brought you here.” Mr. Graham has never brought anyone home before this. But he has changed a lot ever since Ms. York moved in. He can even accept living with strangers now.

“We look to be about the same age. Please just call me Mary.”

Mary felt a little shy.

Edwin gave it some thought and nodded in agreement. “How about I call you Ms. Connor instead?”

Mary thought this sounded better than Mdm. Mary, but it didn't make much of a difference.

Arissa smiled. “I think it's fine. Edwin will call you Ms. Connor, and you will call him Edwin. How nice.”

Mary and Edwin smiled. They decided they would refer to each other that way from here on out.

“Grandaunt, let's get dinner.”

Arissa got up and wheeled Mary into the house.

“Sweethearts, let's go. We can come for a walk again after dinner.”

“Okay!”

The kids replied sweetly as they followed close behind.

Arissa couldn't stop smiling as she looked at them.

“Tim, do you like it here?”

Tim glanced at Arissa and nodded. “This place is so big!”

Arissa smiled. “It is. I had some trouble getting used to this place when I first arrived. I even got lost along the way!”

“When did you lose your way, Mommy?” Gavin asked out of curiosity.

Arissa laughed awkwardly.

“When I first arrived. I got lost in the garden.”`

Gavin smiled. “Can you find your way around now, Mommy?”

“No. She has no sense of direction.”

Zachary giggled and told him Arissa's secret.

Arissa blushed upon his words.

“I got lost because I wasn't familiar with the place.” She tried to save her dignity.

Edwin and Mary laughed as they found their conversation to be very amusing.

“Ms. York, I'm not very good at finding my direction in an unfamiliar place either. You'll be fine once you get used to this place.”

Tim comforted.

Arissa stared at his grim expression and nodded.

“Yes! Sweetheart, did you sleep well?”

Tim nodded.

“Mommy, Tim woke up later than all of us. He slept like a baby.”

Oliver reported.

Arissa felt relieved upon his words.
