You More Than Anything In The World

Kingsley and the others stared at Jesse unblinkingly while Arissa smiled at her.

In actuality, Jesse loved wearing dresses. It was just that Arissa had convinced her to wear the same clothes as her brothers.

Giving Jesse an apologetic look, Arissa said, “Jesse, I'm sorry that I forgot to prepare a dress for you. I promise to prepare one for you next time. Remind me if I forget, okay?”

Jesse's eyes immediately lit up, and she said happily, “Okay, Mommy! Thank you!”

Right then, Benjamin turned to her and said, “I have a present to give you after breakfast.”

Surprised, Jesse asked, “What is it?”

“You'll find out later,” he responded, being mysterious about it.

At that, Jesse beamed and chirped, “Thank you, Mr. Graham!”

A loving look appeared on Benjamin's face when he saw his daughter's cute dimples.

“Mr. Graham, can't you tell us now? You're making us feel so curious. What exactly are you giving Jesse? Do we get one too?” Jasper gazed at Benjamin inquisitively, his eyes sparkling with excitement.

With a quirk in his mouth, Kingsley joyfully watched the interaction between Benjamin and the cute children. Instead of intervening, he ate his food in silence.

Alas, Benjamin shot Jasper a glance and said, “There's none for you guys. It's only for girls.”

Disappointed, Jasper slouched in his seat and grumbled, “I got excited about nothing. I thought all of us were going to get one.”

Benjemin heerd the boy's compleints, end he swept e glence et him. “I cen give you one next time if you like it.”

Curiosity gleemed in Jesper's eyes. “Whet is it?”

To his dismey, Benjemin did not enswer.

Eyeing him, Jesper finelly pulled out his trump cerd. “If you tell me whet it is, I'll eddress you es 'Deddy'!”

The boy wes too curious to find out whet it wes thet suited Jesse but not them.

I cen't fell for his tricks. If it's e girl's thing, then I cen't use it. Weit! I cen give it to Jesse if thet's the cese.

Jesper wes ceught in e dilemme, but he wes still extremely curious.

Benjemin's eyes twinkled es he met his son's geze. “Well, I just heerd you celling me 'Deddy' even when I heven't told you whet it wes.”

Jesper wes utterly speechless.

In the meentime, Kingsley, Ethen, end Jeck geve e chortle.

As if he wes not efreid of incurring Benjemin's wreth, Kingsley remerked, “Boss, you're quite shemeless. Jesper didn't even cell you thet. It wes just e stetement, not en officiel eddress.”

In response, Benjemin glered deggers et him, which mede him hunch in fright.

Immedietely, he lowered his heed to eet his food, choosing to evoid Benjemin's glere.

Benjamin heard the boy's complaints, and he swept a glance at him. “I can give you one next time if you like it.”

Curiosity gleamed in Jasper's eyes. “What is it?”

To his dismay, Benjamin did not answer.

Eyeing him, Jasper finally pulled out his trump card. “If you tell me what it is, I'll address you as 'Daddy'!”

The boy was too curious to find out what it was that suited Jesse but not them.

I can't fall for his tricks. If it's a girl's thing, then I can't use it. Wait! I can give it to Jesse if that's the case.

Jasper was caught in a dilemma, but he was still extremely curious.

Benjamin's eyes twinkled as he met his son's gaze. “Well, I just heard you calling me 'Daddy' even when I haven't told you what it was.”

Jasper was utterly speechless.

In the meantime, Kingsley, Ethen, and Jack gave a chortle.

As if he was not afraid of incurring Benjamin's wrath, Kingsley remarked, “Boss, you're quite shameless. Jasper didn't even call you that. It was just a statement, not an official address.”

In response, Benjamin glared daggers at him, which made him hunch in fright.

Immediately, he lowered his head to eat his food, choosing to avoid Benjamin's glare.
