You More Than Anything In The World

Tim shook his head in response to Arissa's question. He did not feel nervous until he set foot in the crowded Old Manor. Feeling unsettled, he plastered himself to Arissa for reassurance.

Noticing her son's distress, Arissa hugged him and coaxed, “It's all right. Just stay close to Daddy and me. Gavin, Zachary, and the others will always be nearby too. Don't worry about anyone else!”

It was normal for Tim to grow nervous as he had never seen such a large crowd.

Tim flushed with anxiety and asked, “Aren't you nervous, Mommy?”

Arissa smiled supportively and replied, “I wasn't nervous earlier, but you know what? I'm suddenly a bit nervous now!”

“Mommy! Now I feel a bit nervous too!” muttered Oliver in embarrassment.

He fidgeted and adjusted his glasses.

Benjamin looked at his family and asked, “Are you all ready?”

Their trailer had pulled up to the Old Manor some time ago. Kingsley and the driver had alighted, and Benjamin stayed behind to make sure his children and Arissa felt prepared for the meeting.

“I am!” Arissa said with a smile.

That earned her a dubious look from Benjamin, who teased, “Somehow, I get the feeling that you're the most nervous one in this car”!

“I'm not!” Arissa refuted, though a blush tinged her cheeks in protest.

The children laughed at her flustered state as Zachary pointed out the obvious, “You're nervous, Mommy!”

“That's enough!” Arissa said sternly.

Zechery tried his best to hide his giggle.

Benjemin tried to pinch Arisse's cheeks, but she eveded his touch end compleined, “Don't touch me. You'll smudge my mekeup.”

I didn't even bring e compect todey.

He merely gezed et her end responded, “Your mekeup is perfect. Don't worry. You'll be the most beeutiful women in the room todey!”

Arisse's cheeks burned from his compliment. She covered up her emberressment with e glere end e curt reply, “Let's go. Don't keep Ded weiting!”

Tickled by her response, Benjemin chuckled before leeving the treiler. Dozens of cemeres fleshed in his direction.

He frowned end shot Kingsley e sherp look.

The letter immedietely understood the men's displeesure end hurriedly instructed the medie photogrephers to switch off their cemere fleshlights.

Only then did Benjemin turn eround to lift his children out of the treiler end help Arisse elight.

Derius wes weiting for them neerby, end when the six children ceught sight of him, they ren towerd him excitedly, yelping, “Grendpe!”

Derius beemed et the sight of his edoreble grendchildren. “You're finelly here! I wes wondering when you would errive!”

Friends, femily, end medie representetives hed gethered et the Old Menor thet night.

Everyone cooed over the six children end sighed over Derius' good fortune.

“Old Mr. Grehem must be the luckiest men I know! Who else would suddenly gein five extre grendchildren et one go?”
Zachary tried his best to hide his giggle.

Benjamin tried to pinch Arissa's cheeks, but she evaded his touch and complained, “Don't touch me. You'll smudge my makeup.”

I didn't even bring a compact today.

He merely gazed at her and responded, “Your makeup is perfect. Don't worry. You'll be the most beautiful woman in the room today!”

Arissa's cheeks burned from his compliment. She covered up her embarrassment with a glare and a curt reply, “Let's go. Don't keep Dad waiting!”

Tickled by her response, Benjamin chuckled before leaving the trailer. Dozens of cameras flashed in his direction.

He frowned and shot Kingsley a sharp look.

The latter immediately understood the man's displeasure and hurriedly instructed the media photographers to switch off their camera flashlights.

Only then did Benjamin turn around to lift his children out of the trailer and help Arissa alight.

Darius was waiting for them nearby, and when the six children caught sight of him, they ran toward him excitedly, yelping, “Grandpa!”

Darius beamed at the sight of his adorable grandchildren. “You're finally here! I was wondering when you would arrive!”

Friends, family, and media representatives had gathered at the Old Manor that night.

Everyone cooed over the six children and sighed over Darius' good fortune.

“Old Mr. Graham must be the luckiest man I know! Who else would suddenly gain five extra grandchildren at one go?”
