You More Than Anything In The World

“Mommy, it's been a long time since we last visited the supermarket. Let's go to the supermarket with Tim!”

Oliver seconded with Jesse's suggestion.

Jasper hastily nodded in agreement.

Tim sneaked a look at Arissa bashfully. He actually wanted to go to the supermarket too.

“Mommy, it's settled then. You'll take us to the supermarket after school today!”

Zachary made the decision for her.

Arissa was amused. “I haven't even agreed to your suggestion.”

“In that case, when will you take us there?” Gavin was looking forward to their excursion to the supermarket too.

Sensing the kids' anticipation, Arissa decided not to tease them further and assented, “I'll take you all to the supermarket this afternoon after school, alright?”

“Yeah! You're the best, Mommy!”

“Mwah, Mommy!”

“I love you, Mommy!”

Oliver, Jasper, and Jesse expressed their gratitude one after the other by showering their mother with flattery.

She gazed at them affectionately.

Gavin, Tim, and Zachary were delighted as well.

Benjamin glanced at the rearview mirror. He was also feeling joyful, being affected by the kids' joy.

They went to the hospital to visit Mary before Benjamin drove the children to school.

Arissa and he hurried to the office after sending their kids. Ethen, holding a big bag of candies, biscuits, and snacks, was already waiting at the building's entrance when they arrived.

“Mrs. Graham, are these sufficient? I'll ask someone to send more over if it's not enough.”

“You're welcome, Mrs. Graham,” Ethen replied cheerily.

Benjamin cast a glance at Ethen and ordered, “Send them to her office.”

“Understood, Mr. Graham,” Ethen answered before trailing behind the couple to enter the building.

When the receptionists saw Benjamin and Arissa holding hands while walking in, they widened their eyes and were so shocked that they forgot to greet them.

Ethen shot them a stern look.

Then, he swiftly went to hold the elevator door open for Benjamin and Arissa.

Benjamin ushered Arissa into the lift.

Feeling a little embarrassed, she lowered her head and followed him inside.

Ethen was about to turn around and get into the elevator, but he halted abruptly after meeting Benjamin's gaze.

“Mr. Graham, Mrs. Graham, please make your way upstairs first,” Ethen chirped sheepishly.

He took a step back and strode to the employee's lift on the side.

Arissa eyed the man next to her. “Why didn't you allow him to join us?”

Turning his head sideways to look at her, he let go of her hand and wrapped his arm around her waist.

“Why should I do that?”
