You More Than Anything In The World

Chapter 1281 Have You Realized Your Mistake

“Hmm?” Arissa said with a solemn expression. Her tone instantly suppressed the kids' hopeful mindsets.

“Mommy, I have something to tell you!” Gavin glanced at her timidly, worried that Arissa would be mad at him.

“Go on!” Arissa was stern and aloof, and she was not wearing a smile. She was nothing like how amiable she usually was.

Gavin blinked and revealed the things they had done.

“Tim and Zachary got kidnapped by the bad guys. We were furious, so we decided to teach them a lesson. The bad guys are Julian and Justin. Julian was the one who beat us up...”

Gavin peeked at Arissa, then whispered, “We both came here secretly. We didn't let them find out!”

Arissa raised an eyebrow and asked, “Then how did your daddy find out?”

Stunned, Gavin averted his gaze toward Benjamin. Daddy only knows because Mr. Frank told him about it.

“If even your daddy knows about it, it's only a matter of time before others do. This shows that you're not being discreet enough and could be in danger any time!” Arissa furrowed her brows. She wanted to let them understand the gravity of the situation.

“Do you know what will happen if you get caught? At best, you'll only be injured. At worst, you might never see us again.”


The six kids retracted their necks in fright and stood before her meekly.

“You guys should have told Daddy and me about things like this instead of acting on your own accord. Daddy and I will have to teach you guys a lesson. You all are still young. No matter how careful you are, do you think you can outrun those bad guys if you get caught?”

The six kids hung their heads low and dared not talk back while being reprimanded.

Benjamin could tell that Arissa's ramblings would go on for some time. Sure enough, she lectured the kids for half an hour before finally stopping.

“Do you guys still dare act like this again in the future?” Arissa wore a sullen expression as her gaze wandered over the kids.

“Speak up!”

Shuddering, the kids obediently responded, “We don't dare do it again!”

“Have you realized your mistake?” Arissa raised her voice slightly.

“We know we were wrong!” The kids answered loudly.

At the sight of how sincere they were at admitting to their mistakes, the solemnity on Arissa's face faded and gradually got replaced by an amicable expression.

“Dealing with bad guys is a task for the adults. What you all should do is focus on your studies. If anything happens, you should let Mommy and Daddy know. We'll take care of it for you.”

“Okay!” The six kids nodded in acknowledgment obediently.

Arissa's throat had gone dry from all the talking. Seeing the kids' frightened faces, she felt her heart softened considerably. “All right. Go and drink some water.”

The six kids looked at her, shifted their gaze at each other, and then ran off to get some water.

Shortly after, they returned before her, each holding a glass of water.

“Mommy, drink some water to soothe your throat!”
