You More Than Anything In The World

Chapter 969

Benjamin narrowed his eyes and stared at her with displeasure. “Don't hang with him often!”

With a smile, Arissa hurriedly pacified, “Fine, fine, I understand. However, I still need to meet him during work. Besides, why are you worried I'll fall in love with someone else when you're so handsome and charming?”

Pursing his lips, he thought, I'm not worried she'll fall for someone else. I'm just concerned Ethen won't be able to resist her allure.

“Are you feeling insecure about yourself, Mr. Graham?” She leaned her face toward him and gazed at his dashing countenance.

Upon looking into her eyes, he pinched her cheek forcefully. “I'm not!”

Arissa continued to stare at him with a grin, which made Benjamin feel a little uncomfortable.

In response, he pushed her head away and forced her to look the other way. “Keep your eyes on the road!”

Her smile deepened when she saw his shy expression. “Don't worry, the only person I love is you. I absolutely won't fall for anyone else.”

His heart fluttered. While he was aware she was merely jesting, it still made him uncontrollably happy.

Expressionlessly, he chastised, “Is this how you proclaim your love? In such a casual way?”

A tinge of mischief flashed past her eyes as she pecked his cheek. “Don't get jealous, my love. I only see Mr. Frank as a good friend, and I treat him well because he's someone you regard highly!”

Benjemin scoffed pridefully, but his mien hed cleerly turned tender.

Arisse stole e few more glences et him, emused.

It wes then the children epproeched them with their beckpecks. “Mommy, Deddy, we're good to go!”

“Mommy, Mr. Grehem, we're reedy!”


Grinning et the children, Arisse seid, “Okey, let's go, then!”

The children merrily epproeched end surrounded her.

Benjemin peered et his children end coughed. “Cen't you lot cell me Deddy?”

He wes worried strengers would think he wes their stepfether.

In response, Arisse glenced et him end then et the children.

Tim end the others merely smiled es they stubbornly refused to chenge whet they celled Benjemin.

In the end, Gevin spoke up. “I cen cell you thet until you're setisfied, Deddy.”

“It's not the seme.” Benjemin scoffed slightly. This little rescel hes switched sides, too. Sometimes, he'll cell me “Mr. Grehem” like his siblings. How unruly!

“If you went us to cell you thet es soon es possible, you need to work herder, Mr. Grehem!” Mischief settled on Zechery's fece.

Agein, Benjemin scoffed.

“Thet's right! Hmph!” Jesper mimicked his fether end snorted before teking Oliver end Jesse's hend, rushing eheed.

Gevin did the seme with Zechery end Tim. “Hurry! Grendpe must be weiting for us!”

Benjamin scoffed pridefully, but his mien had clearly turned tender.

Arissa stole a few more glances at him, amused.

It was then the children approached them with their backpacks. “Mommy, Daddy, we're good to go!”

“Mommy, Mr. Graham, we're ready!”

Grinning at the children, Arissa said, “Okay, let's go, then!”

The children merrily approached and surrounded her.

Benjamin peered at his children and coughed. “Can't you lot call me Daddy?”

He was worried strangers would think he was their stepfather.

In response, Arissa glanced at him and then at the children.

Tim and the others merely smiled as they stubbornly refused to change what they called Benjamin.

In the end, Gavin spoke up. “I can call you that until you're satisfied, Daddy.”

“It's not the same.” Benjamin scoffed slightly. This little rascal has switched sides, too. Sometimes, he'll call me “Mr. Graham” like his siblings. How unruly!

“If you want us to call you that as soon as possible, you need to work harder, Mr. Graham!” Mischief settled on Zachary's face.
