You More Than Anything In The World

Arissa took a seat back out of habit and shot a glare at the man.

“What are you doing?”

“Be good and sit still!” Benjamin ordered as he cocked his head sideways to look at Arissa.

Arissa did not take it well.

Darius glared at Benjamin and chided, “Little punk, you'd better be gentler to Issa!”

Benjamin gave his father a sideways glance and said, “It's already so late. Why are you still here?”

Darius gritted his teeth in frustration. “I have not met my grandchildren yet. Do you think I don't dare to stay the night if you chase me out the door right now?”

At the sight of Darius almost gasping for air from the rage, Arissa hurriedly tugged at Benjamin's sleeve.

“Mind your tone with Mr. Graham. Don't anger him further.”

Benjamin took a look at her fair hand, and the tense expression on his face eased a little.

“Where did the kids go?” he asked in a gentle voice.

“They went out with Kingsley,” she replied.

Benjamin furrowed his brows and gave Kingsley a call.

Over the phone, Benjamin ordered in a low voice, “Hurry up and bring them back right now!”

Darius was not sure if he should be happy or angry about the matter.

Can't this little punk let me stay longer?

However, at the thought that he would be able to see his grandchildren soon, Darius was overjoyed.

“Old Mr. Graham, please enjoy the tea,” William said as he served Darius some tea.

“Okay.”

Darius nodded. He took over the cup of tea and started to enjoy it.

William served Benjamin a cup of tea as well and said, “Please enjoy the tea, Mr. Benjamin.”

“Please enjoy the tea as well, Ms. York.”

“Thank you,” Arissa replied with a smile.

William flashed a smile at her.

Arissa stole a glance at Benjamin. Does he have siblings? Why is the butler addressing him as Mr. Benjamin?

Then, she recalled that Benjamin was actually the third child of Darius. However, she had never met his siblings even after having known him for quite some time.

“What do you plan to do now that all your children are found?”

Arissa's train of thought was instantly pulled back to the present with Darius' question.

Benjamin leveled a stare at his old man and said, “Haven't you got it all planned out already?”

“Are you saying you agree to my plans?” Darius' eyes glinted.

He hurriedly glanced at Arissa and said, “Issa, the children have been back for quite some time. It's time for them to meet their relatives. They have not paid their respects to their ancestors either. So, I'm planning on picking out a good day for them to go back and pay their respects to our ancestors together with the other family members. Otherwise, it's going to be awkward when they cannot recognize their own relatives out there. What do you say?”

It was not the first time Darius had brought it up, and Arissa did not have anything against the idea either.

“Sure, no problem.”

Darius was thrilled to hear her reply. “So I'm going to proceed with the arrangement?”

“Okay!” Arissa nodded.

Overjoyed, Darius hurriedly ordered William to make the necessary arrangements so that it could be done as soon as possible.

“I will let you guys know once the dates have been arranged. Oh, there's one more thing—”
