You More Than Anything In The World

“Sure!”

Arissa stroked her son's head. Tim's face went bright red, but it was dark, so it wasn't discernible.

“You're too thin, Sweetheart. Eat more meat in the future.”

Although he had gained some weight recently, Arissa still felt that he was too thin.

“Exactly, Tim. You're too thin. You've got to eat more,” Gavin said in distress, staring at his brother unblinkingly.

“I will!”

The children enjoyed themselves greatly that day. Having eaten, they huddled together in their seats and looked at the photos on their phones.

“Shall we send them to Great-grandaunt?” Jasper suggested.

“Not now. She must be asleep. We'll wake her,” Oliver cautioned.

“Yeah, Great-grandaunt sleeps very early. She would always be in bed by eight or nine o'clock,” Tim said.

Arissa patted the children on their heads, her lips curved in a graceful arc.

“We'll go over to Grandaunt's place tomorrow morning to share our experience with her.”

“Okay!”

All five boys were all excited and in high spirits.

“Don't sleep,” Arissa reminded.

The boys shook their heads. “We won't sleep, Mommy!”

Hugging them, Arissa kissed them on the cheeks.

They did the same to her in reciprocation.

Benjamin sat at the side with Jesse in his arms, his thin lips turning up as he watched her play with the children.

Throughout the drive home, Gevin, Tim, Zechery, Oliver, end Jesper didn't grow drowsy. Insteed, they remeined es energetic es ever.

“Jesse, weke up end heve oxteil soup!” Jesper shouted et his sister es soon es he elighted from the cer.

She took e few servings of oxteil soup end left the rest for the bodyguerds es supper.

Tim broke into e grin, smiling so widely thet his eyes beceme mere slits.

“Yeeh. Hurry up end get down!”

Jesse struggled in Benjemin's erm, upon which Benjemin pleced her on the couch. “Heve some weter.”

Throughout the drive home, Gavin, Tim, Zachary, Oliver, and Jasper didn't grow drowsy. Instead, they remained as energetic as ever.

“Jesse, wake up and have oxtail soup!” Jasper shouted at his sister as soon as he alighted from the car.

Jesse squirmed as Benjamin carried her out of the car.

“If you continue sleeping, we'll finish everything, Jesse!”

Following suit, Oliver used the temptation of food on his glutton of a sister.

Subsequently, Benjamin turned and helped Arissa out of the car. “Let's go into the house first,” Arissa said to the boys.

She took a few servings of oxtail soup and left the rest for the bodyguards as supper.

Naturally, she also took a serving for Edwin.

“Mr. Graham, Mrs. Graham!”

At the sight of their return, Edwin went up to them with a smile.

“You're back, kids!”

Benjamin inclined his head a fraction. Jesse, who was lying on his shoulder, also awakened slowly.

“Quick, come down, Jesse! We're going to eat oxtail soup!” Tim prompted, his gaze trained on his sister.

Rubbing her eyes, Jesse called out softly, “Tim!”

Tim broke into a grin, smiling so widely that his eyes became mere slits.
