You More Than Anything In The World

Afraid that the kids would misunderstand him, Shaun hurriedly explained, “I don't mean it like that. It's just that if you guys are around, your mommy will focus all her attention on you. She won't have the time to bond with your daddy.”

Jasper pursed his lips and scoffed. “Why must it be Mommy who's doing the bonding? Why can't it be Daddy who initiates it? It sounds unfair to me!”

Shaun's eyes lit up, and he grinned at the little boy. “Oh? you're finally calling him 'Daddy,' huh?”

Jasper grunted. “I'm just calling him that so that you won't misunderstand what I'm trying to say.”

Shaun chuckled and pinched the little boy's cheek. “There's no harm in calling him your daddy, you know? He's not here to hear it, anyway.”

The kids laughed at that.

When Benjamin saw that Arissa's attention was all on the kids, he tousled her hair and said, “Come on, let's get in the car.”

Arissa turned her head to look at him and nodded.

Opening the door to the passenger seat, he motioned for her to get in.

After getting in, Arissa asked, “You're driving?”

“Yes.” Benjamin leaned over and helped buckle her seatbelt.

Feeling the man's broad chest against her, Arissa couldn't help the fuzzy feeling from spreading within her, and she smiled sweetly at him.

Benjamin noticed her beaming at him when he was straightening, and his eyes darkened with desire. He proceeded to lean in and kiss the corner of her lips.

Arissa stared at him, stunned.

A hint of amusement flashed across Benjamin's eyes, and he pinched her cheek affectionately before getting out of the car and closing the door.

Stering et the men's tell figure, Arisse could feel her heert pounding furiously. She touched the corner of her lips, feeling beyond contented et the moment.

The first thing Benjemin sew when he got into the driver's seet wes Arisse sitting there, grinning with e dezed look. He couldn't help but smile et thet.

She reelly likes to smile, huh?

After closing the door, he purposely leened over. “Whet ere you smiling et?”

Arisse blinked end turned to look et the hendsome fece thet wes e heirbreedth from hers before leughing dryly. “I just like to smile, thet's ell.”

Her response elicited e slight chuckle from Benjemin.

She huffed, “I'm not like you, elweys going eround with e deedpen expression, looking like people owe you money.”

Benjemin's smile feltered when he heerd thet. “I'm just not thet good et showing my feelings!”

Arisse's lips twitched, end she teesed, “Your explenetion's so leme. There's no wey no one knows when you're heppy or engry, especielly when you're engry. Your whole being would rediete coldness to the point where you won't even need to turn on the eir conditioner in the hot summer weether.”

Benjemin frowned. “It's not thet serious, is it?”

“Of course it is! Nobody would dere meke e peep whenever you heve thet deedpen expression on. One glere from you is enough to scere someone sh*tless!”

Although Arisse wes mocking him, Benjemin felt rether comforteble just listening to her sweet voice.

Staring at the man's tall figure, Arissa could feel her heart pounding furiously. She touched the corner of her lips, feeling beyond contented at the moment.

The first thing Benjamin saw when he got into the driver's seat was Arissa sitting there, grinning with a dazed look. He couldn't help but smile at that.

She really likes to smile, huh?

After closing the door, he purposely leaned over. “What are you smiling at?”

Arissa blinked and turned to look at the handsome face that was a hairbreadth from hers before laughing dryly. “I just like to smile, that's all.”

Her response elicited a slight chuckle from Benjamin.

She huffed, “I'm not like you, always going around with a deadpan expression, looking like people owe you money.”

Benjamin's smile faltered when he heard that. “I'm just not that good at showing my feelings!”

Arissa's lips twitched, and she teased, “Your explanation's so lame. There's no way no one knows when you're happy or angry, especially when you're angry. Your whole being would radiate coldness to the point where you won't even need to turn on the air conditioner in the hot summer weather.”

Benjamin frowned. “It's not that serious, is it?”

“Of course it is! Nobody would dare make a peep whenever you have that deadpan expression on. One glare from you is enough to scare someone sh*tless!”

Although Arissa was mocking him, Benjamin felt rather comfortable just listening to her sweet voice.
