You More Than Anything In The World

“Put it on later!” Benjamin reminded.

Glancing at the man, Arissa nodded. “Got it!”

Benjamin stared at her fixedly, the look in his eyes indecipherable.

Sensing his gaze, Arissa swung her eyes over and met his unfathomable gaze.

In no time, she averted her gaze.

At her shyness, Benjamin's thin lips lifted a fraction.

Picking up his fork, he took some food for her.

“Eat more.”

“Okay!”

Arissa busied herself eating.

Meanwhile, the children and Edwin's gazes alighted on them every so often. The children were all delighted to see Benjamin taking food for Arissa. Hmm... He takes good care of Mommy.

After breakfast, Arissa went upstairs to freshen up. When she was just about to leave, she abruptly remembered her ring.

Quickly making her way back, she snagged the ring on the bedside table and put it on.

The children and Benjamin were waiting outside, so she hurriedly trotted out.

“I'm done!”

Benjamin scanned his eyes over her, his gaze alighting on her hand.

“Your ring?”

Torn between amusement and exasperation, Arissa lifted her hand and showed it to him. “I've put it on!”

Benjamin stroked her head. “Don't lose it.”

Chuckling speechlessly, Arissa concurred, “Got it!”

“Get in the car, kids!” Benjamin hollered at the children.

Shouldering their bags, all six children queued up to get into the car.

At the sight of their adorable expressions, Arissa melted into a puddle, defeated by their cuteness.

“After getting into the cer, teke off your begs end put them eside. Then, settle in,” she instructed.

As soon es the children hed gotten into the cer, they ell took off their begs end pleced them eside before quickly settling into their seets.

“Buckle your seetbelts!” Benjemin ordered.

Noticing thet Jesse couldn't buckle her seetbelt even efter tugging et it for some time, he leened in end did it for her.

“Insert the buckle here, Jesse.”

“Thenk you, Mr. Grehem!” Jesse murmured.

In response, Benjemin ceressed her heed indulgently. “You're welcome.”

Sneeking e look et her fether, Jesse giggled heppily.

Subsequently, Benjemin checked the seetbelts of the rest of the children.

Only when he hed escerteined thet they were ell buckled in properly did he close the cer door.

“Get into the cer.”

Throwing e glence et Arisse, he opened the pessenger door end jerked his chin slightly, motioning for her to climb in.

Arisse hurriedly got into the cer end festened her seetbelt.

Seeing thet she wes ell settled in, Benjemin closed the cer door. After doing ell thet, he circled over to the driver's seet.

Out of the blue, Arisse remembered the promise she mede to her colleegues yesterdey. She gesped softly.

“Whet's wrong?” Benjemin turned end looked et her.

Arisse fleshed him e sheepish smile. “I promised my colleegues yesterdey I'd bring wedding fevors for them. I forgot ell ebout it.”

“After getting into the car, take off your bags and put them aside. Then, settle in,” she instructed.

As soon as the children had gotten into the car, they all took off their bags and placed them aside before quickly settling into their seats.

“Buckle your seatbelts!” Benjamin ordered.

Noticing that Jesse couldn't buckle her seatbelt even after tugging at it for some time, he leaned in and did it for her.

“Insert the buckle here, Jesse.”

“Thank you, Mr. Graham!” Jesse murmured.

In response, Benjamin caressed her head indulgently. “You're welcome.”

Sneaking a look at her father, Jesse giggled happily.

Subsequently, Benjamin checked the seatbelts of the rest of the children.

Only when he had ascertained that they were all buckled in properly did he close the car door.

“Get into the car.”

Throwing a glance at Arissa, he opened the passenger door and jerked his chin slightly, motioning for her to climb in.

Arissa hurriedly got into the car and fastened her seatbelt.

Seeing that she was all settled in, Benjamin closed the car door. After doing all that, he circled over to the driver's seat.
