You More Than Anything In The World

Kingsley chuckled and slanted Benjamin a look before he shifted his gaze to Arissa. “Do you think it's romantic, Mrs. Graham?”

“Yes, of course!” She broke into a sweet smile and looked at Kingsley and Jonathan. “Thank you both!”

Both of them exchanged a humorous look.

“We only offered a hand. Arissa, you should be thanking Benjamin. He was the one who planned it all,” Kingsley shot a pointed look at Benjamin, his eyes bright with amusement.

She smiled and looked at the man sitting across from her. “All right, let's dig in before the food gets cold.”

Benjamin swept a glance over them and filled the kids' plates with food. “Let's eat!”

The kids were overjoyed.

“Thank you, Daddy!”

“Thanks, Mr. Graham!”

“Eat up.” He did the same for Arissa.

“Okay.” She nodded with a smile. “You should eat too.”

“Tsk, did you forget about us? You'd better watch yourselves!” Kingsley teased.

Jonathan shook his head and repressed a smile while Benjamin glared at him and turned toward Edwin. “Please prepare more dishes.”

“Yes, Mr. Graham,” Edwin replied and hurried to kitchen.

“Here, salute!”
