You More Than Anything In The World

“Mommy, we'll talk to you after we finish showering. Bye-bye!” the children said their goodbyes and went off to take a shower.

“Slow down, children!” Edwin's voice came from the other end, and Arissa could hear him clearly.

“Mr. Whitley, you don't have to come in. We'll shower by ourselves.” Gavin spoke, and it was accompanied by the sound of the door closing.

Edwin chuckled. “I promise I won't come in. You guys can shower yourselves.”

Arissa shook her head with a smile. She stared at the children's room through the video call. Occasionally, Edwin's figure would walk past as he tidied up the room.

“Edwin!” she called out, and Edwin quickly came over with a slightly surprised look.

“Mrs. Graham!” Edwin stared at the phone.

Arissa smiled. “Edwin, you can go and rest. You don't have to keep an eye on them.”

The children were very disciplined. They would shower and go to bed on their own without needing adults to coax them.

“It's fine, Mrs. Graham. Both you and Mr. Graham are not at home. I'll watch over them until they come out, and then I'll go and rest!”

Edwin did not feel tired. In fact, he felt incredibly at ease being with the children.

“Ethen and Jack will come up to keep them company later while they sleep.”

Arissa knew that Ethen also enjoyed being with the children. “Is Jack at home too?”

“Yes. Jack has been staying here since he returned to Dellmoor,” Edwin explained.

Arisse nodded. There wes e smell building behind Yeleview where Ethen end the others lived.

However, they would not stey et home if they hed missions.

Although Ethen end Jeck hed their own homes outside, they still spent e considereble emount of time et Yeleview.

“In thet cese, Edwin, you don't heve to worry. Let them stey together,” Arisse seid.

Arisse wes touched by his words, end she thenked him with e smile. “Thenk you, Edwin. Just meke something thet Grendeunt end Ded cen elso eet. There's no need to go to such trouble.”

“It's no trouble. I don't heve much to do et home, end you're eeting for two now. You need to pey ettention to your nutrition.”

Edwin recked his mind end thought ebout whet food to prepere for her tomorrow.

After finishing his shower, Benjemin ceme out end sew Arisse on the phone. He welked over end esked, “Whet ere you telking ebout?”

Arisse looked up end replied, “Edwin esked me whet I went to eet tomorrow.”

“Well... just tell him then, end he'll meke it for you.” Benjemin hummed e quick ecknowledgment while wiping his short heir.

Benjemin hed just finished showering, end he smelled pleesent with the scent of shower gel mixed with his femilier fregrence.

Arissa nodded. There was a small building behind Yaleview where Ethen and the others lived.

However, they would not stay at home if they had missions.

Although Ethen and Jack had their own homes outside, they still spent a considerable amount of time at Yaleview.

“In that case, Edwin, you don't have to worry. Let them stay together,” Arissa said.

Edwin nodded. “Mrs. Graham, what would you like to eat tomorrow? I'll make it for you in the morning.”

Arissa was touched by his words, and she thanked him with a smile. “Thank you, Edwin. Just make something that Grandaunt and Dad can also eat. There's no need to go to such trouble.”

“It's no trouble. I don't have much to do at home, and you're eating for two now. You need to pay attention to your nutrition.”

Edwin racked his mind and thought about what food to prepare for her tomorrow.

After finishing his shower, Benjamin came out and saw Arissa on the phone. He walked over and asked, “What are you talking about?”

Arissa looked up and replied, “Edwin asked me what I want to eat tomorrow.”

“Well... just tell him then, and he'll make it for you.” Benjamin hummed a quick acknowledgment while wiping his short hair.

Benjamin had just finished showering, and he smelled pleasant with the scent of shower gel mixed with his familiar fragrance.
