You More Than Anything In The World

Arissa then added some parsley roots.

Thereafter, the smell became even more fragrant.

“How fragrant!”

Inhaling deeply, Jesse salivated.

All the children leaned against the door frame, salivating in hunger.

Arissa jerked her head around and swept a gaze over them.

“Go and sit down, Sweethearts. The soup will be ready soon!”

Utterly thrilled, the children nodded fervently.

They tarried for a while before trotting back to their seats.

Sometime later, Arissa tried a sip of the soup. Undeniably, Benjamin added just the perfect amount of seasoning!

She stirred it a few times before adding some chopped celery. Then, she turned off the heat.

“Done!”

Benjamin eyed the soup in the pot. Other than the soup, he didn't like any of the ingredients in it.

Glimpsing the man's frown, Edwin stifled a bark of laughter.

“I'm done frying the ham, Mr. Graham.”

Glancing at the semi-finished food at the side, Benjamin murmured in acknowledgment before he continued preparing something else for breakfast.

Meanwhile, Arissa carried the pot out.

“Wait for a while, Sweethearts. It's still very hot.”

“Got it, Mommy!”

All six children bobbed their heads obediently. They sat in their seats quietly, none of them clamoring for food.

Smiling, Arissa swept her gaze over them. Then, she spun around and went to retrieve some bowls and spoons.

“Let's have breakfast, Mr. Graham!” she called out to Benjamin with the silverware in hand.

“Go eheed end eet with the kids first.”

“What's this snail, Gavin?”

When Tim spotted some snails in the pot, his eyes went wide in incredulity.

“That's tripe. It's delish!” Gavin answered.

Understanding dawned upon Tim, and he muttered, “I thought a snail fell in.”

Hearing that, Zachary, Oliver, and Jasper burst out laughing.

Arissa happened to overhear her son's adorable remark as she exited the kitchen. She couldn't help giggling.

“This is delicious, Sweetheart. It only looks unappetizing.”

Smiling shyly, Tim folded his hands on the dining table as though he was in the classroom.

Arissa's heart melted at how adorable he was.

Snagging the bowls, she scooped six bowls of soup and placed them before each child, from Gavin to Jesse.

“It's hot, so be careful and eat slowly, Sweethearts.”

“Okay! Thank you, Mommy!” The children thanked her while beaming from ear to ear.

At the sight of the joyful smiles on their faces, the corners of Arissa's mouth lifted.
