You More Than Anything In The World

“I'm just looking at my wife,” Benjamin replied.

His lips quirked into a smirk—a smirk so roguish that made her blush.

Arissa looked away and hastened to continue doing her makeup. She forced herself not to pay attention to the man.

However, when she was drawing her eyeliner, a sudden knocking on the door startled her. Her hands trembled, and she drew out of line.

“Oh no!”

Benjamin looked at her and asked, “What's the matter?”

He didn't notice the knocking on the door.

“My hands trembled, and now my eyeliner is out of line.”

Arissa was dejected. “Go and see who's at the door.”

She reckoned that it was her children.

Arissa was right. Their voices came through the door right then.

“Mommy, are you guys done?”

Benjamin got up and edged closer to Arissa. She turned around and said, “Hurry up and open the door. Don't let them shout at the door anymore.”

“Let me help you clean that up.” Benjamin's thin lips curved upward.

Arissa darted away when Benjamin was already ready to wipe away the out-of-line eyeliner.

“You don't know how to do it right. I'll do it myself. Go and open the door.”

Benjamin furrowed his brows in response. Seeing as she was already working on it, he was left with no other choice but to open the door for the kids.

His five sons had already changed into their suits, and they all matched Benjamin's.

“Benjamin, you cut a dash today!”

Kingsley gave Benjamin a thumbs up.

Benjamin glanced at them and said, “Are you guys going over to Old Manor or taking a rest?”

“We're going to head to Old Manor,” Kingsley, Jack, and Ethen replied.

Benjamin nodded. “Head downstairs and wait for me first.”

Then, he turned around to walk back inside the room.

The six children trailed behind him. “Is Mommy ready?”

“She isn't ready yet. Why don't you guys go play aside?”

Meanwhile, Arissa was still trying to fix her eyeliner.

“Hehe. Mommy, you look so pretty. Your dress is exactly like mine!”

Jesse noticed the dress Arissa was wearing and beamed with delight. The little girl took a spin around her mother in glee.
