You More Than Anything In The World

Ethen approached Benjamin and reported the findings of his investigation the night before.

“We've figured it out, Mr. Graham.”

“Send the details to my phone,” replied Benjamin discreetly.

“Yes, Mr. Graham!”

Ethen nodded and sent the information right away.

Benjamin added, “Keep a close eye on the Old Manor!”

“Understood!”

Ethen moved away to discuss the Old Manor's surveillance plans with Jack.

Meanwhile, Arissa carried the children into the trailer before getting in herself. When Benjamin noticed that Kingsley was about to follow Arissa, he grabbed the latter by the shirt collar and pulled him aside.

At the same time, he ducked into the car and muttered pettily, “You can take another car!”

Kingsley was flabbergasted by his jealous outburst and occupied the passenger seat of the trailer.

Ethen and Jack drove another car behind the trailer.

Rounding out the entourage were more cars driven by bodyguards, all headed toward the Graham family's Old Manor.

Just then, Jasper tugged on his mother's arm and cried, “Mommy!”

Arissa smiled and pinched his nose gently. “What's wrong?”

Jasper beamed at her and exclaimed, “You haven't looked this pretty in a long time, Mommy!”

His praise drew a smile from Arissa, who replied teasingly, “Does that mean I'm usually not pretty?”

“Hehe, you're always pretty!” came Jasper's hasty reply.

Gavin, Tim, Zachary, and Oliver burst into laughter while Jesse cooed, “Mommy's the prettiest person I know!”

The girl chuckled and responded softly, “Mr. Graham is handsome too!”

Benjamin was about to burst with joy as he replied, “Our dear Jesse is very pretty today too!”

Jesse dissolved into a puddle of giggles.

Arissa turned to glance at their interaction. She's quite similar to her dad.

“Jesse, who's more handsome? Mr. Graham or me?” The chatty Jasper simply could not resist throwing himself into their conversation.

His sister answered wittily, “You're both handsome. In fact, don't all of you look like Mr. Graham?”

The reply thoroughly charmed Jasper, who ran his fingers through his hair and boasted, “Well, I think I'm the most handsome person of the lot!”

Jasper's narcissistic declaration had his brothers and Benjamin going slack-jawed in disbelief.

Arissa leaned forward and pinched his cheeks, chiding him, “Don't be so vain!” It merely drew a snigger from Jasper.
