You More Than Anything In The World

Chapter 676

Darius went after them anxiously. “Slow down, or you'll fall!”

Edwin and William followed suit.

Knitting his brows, Benjamin joined the pursuit.

Seeing that, Shaun, Kingsley, and Ethen, went out as well.

Everyone's attention was focused on the children.

Meanwhile, Arissa had just finished bathing Jesse and was helping the latter change into her clothes.

“Mommy, is Jesse done?” Gavin yelled happily as he stood by the bathroom door.

“Yes. I'm helping Jesse to get dressed. How about you boys?” Arissa replied.

“We're done too. Grandpa and Daddy even helped us to dry our hair,” Gavin said before turning to look at his brothers.

“Is Mommy not finished yet?” Zachary gave Gavin a look.

Tim, too, did the same.

Oliver and Jasper stared at the bathroom door instead. “Mommy's really slow!”

“Mommy probably hasn't bathed yet. Only Jesse is done,” Gavin said.

Jasper pursed his lips. “Mommy was slow when she gave me a bath last time. If she were to do so for all of us, it would take hours on end.”

At that moment, Darius and the others were standing outside the door. When they heard the children's conversation, they couldn't hold back their laughter.

“Sweethearts, go back to your room to sleep. Your mommy will go over once she's done.”

“Grandpa, we're waiting for our sis—Jesse!”

Jasper almost had a slip of tongue. He snuck a glance at Benjamin.

“We're waiting for Jesse,” Gavin reiterated calmly.

Benjamin walked in and gestured at the door.

“Go back to your room first. Who knows how long your mommy needs to finish up with Jesse.”

Gavin gave him a look but didn't say a word.

Zachary glanced at him. “But Mommy said she's done.”

When Tim heard the footsteps from inside, he broke into an excited smile.

“Ms. York and Jesse are about to come out!”

Just as he spoke, someone opened the door.

Arissa came out with Jesse in her arms. Even though the latter's hair was still a mess, it didn't diminish how cute she looked.

The adorable charm she exuded made it hard for anyone to peel their eyes away.

“Jesse, you look great!” Gavin gushed in admiration.

“Just like Mommy!” Tim nodded. He felt that both of them resembled each other.

When Benjamin's gaze fell upon both of them, he, too, thought that Jesse looked like Arissa.

He reached out to take Jesse from Arissa's hands. “Why didn't you blow his hair?”

Arissa gave him a look. “Jesse has just finished bathing!”

“I can't believe how slow you are. The other five children are done, and yet, you still haven't finished with Jesse.”

Arissa was stumped. Of course the other five will be faster because they are less thorough bathing by themselves.

“They're not as clean as when I do it for them.”

The boys were speechless.

“Mommy, all of us bathed ourselves thoroughly,” Oliver refuted.

Arissa smiled and tousled his hair.
