You More Than Anything In The World

Arissa hurried back up.

Edwin looked on with amusement before returning to the kitchen to make coffee for Benjamin and his guests.

Kingsley, who still hadn't left, was in the study together with Shaun. Both of them were watching Benjamin busy himself with work.

Ethen and Jack were updating Benjamin on the latest.

Once they were done with their reports, they began a small-scale meeting.

Shaun and Kingsley, on the other hand, were sipping coffee by the side.

After the meeting, Benjamin furrowed his brows when he saw that both of them were still around.

He instructed Ethen, “Get Jonathan to see me tomorrow.”

Ethen nodded. “Mr. Graham, do you want Mr. Patterson to come here or go to the office?”

Benjamin remembered that he needed to take Mary to the hospital in the morning. Hence, he answered, “The office.”

“All right.” Ethen nodded. “Mr. Graham, is there anything else?”

Benjamin threw Ethen a glance. “You should go back and rest. You can come in later tomorrow.”

Ethen was elated by the news.

“Thank you!”

Ethen said to Jack, “Let's go.”

“Mr. Graham, I'll be off, then,” Jack informed Benjamin, who nodded in acknowledgment.

Before they left, they asked Kingsley, “Mr. Watts, aren't you going home?”

“You guys go ahead.” Kingsley waved with a smile. He wasn't in a hurry.

After bidding Edwin farewell, Ethen and Jack went off.

“Benjamin, now that you're done with work, let's have some coffee.” Kingsley poured Benjamin a cup.

Benjamin walked over and said to Shaun, “You should make the arrangements now so that Grandaunt doesn't need to wait when she goes over tomorrow for her checkup.”

Shaun nodded, cognizant that Benjamin was grateful to Mary. Nevertheless, it was still rare to see him care so much about someone.

“I've given the instructions. I'll also be there early tomorrow morning to make the preparations.”

Benjamin nodded, then swept his gaze at Kingsley. “Aren't you gonna go home?”

Unsure of how to react, Kingsley teased, “Benjamin, why do you keep targeting me?”

Benjamin snorted. “Stop bothering me!”

He got to his feet, returned to his desk, and got back to work.

Shaun and Kingsley exchanged smiling glances and remained in the room.

“Shall I bunk with you tonight? I'm lazy to go home,” Kingsley suggested to Shaun softly.

Shaun chuckled. “You'd better discuss it with Benjamin.”

Kingsley rolled his eyes. “There's no such need at all.”

Finishing his coffee, Kingsley got to his feet and declared, “Benjamin, I'm going back now. Good night.”

Benjamin shot him a glance. “Don't disturb the children.”

Kingsley broke into a sheepish smile and waved his hands.

“Good night!”

He left the study. Once he was sure the coast was clear, he swiftly tip-toed upstairs.

He slipped into the children's room for a while before going into the guest room where Shaun would be staying in.

When Shaun returned and saw that Kingsley was in there, he grimaced.
