You More Than Anything In The World

Arissa exchanged a smile with him, reached out, and playfully grabbed Benjamin's shirt collar as she threatened him with a mischievous grin, “If you dare misunderstand my relationship with others in the future and refuse to listen to my explanations, I won't forgive you as easily as I did today. I will take the children and hide far away from you.”

“All right!” Benjamin knew he was in the wrong, so he agreed with her.

If she hides, I'll just find her and apologize to her!

Arissa looked at him, her heart filled with confusion. Why is he being so agreeable? “What do you mean by 'all right'?”

With a slight smile playing at the corners of his mouth, Benjamin leaned in, his forehead gently touching hers. In a soft voice, he said, “I'll listen to your explanation next time!”

Arissa huffed assertively. “That's more like it!”

Despite what she was demanding of Benjamin, she never allowed him to explain himself when faced with a similar situation. Instead, she got so consumed by jealousy that she made a fool of herself.

After Benjamin had wiped her clean and helped her change into clean clothes, he lowered the head of the hospital bed.

“Your clothes are wet too. Go take a shower!” Arissa reminded him when she noticed the water droplets on his clothes.

“I've already showered at home, so I simply need to change my clothes.”

Benjamin told her that it had only been an hour since he left home and he hadn't broken a sweat.

Despite being a clean freak, Benjamin decided to only change his clothes instead of showering again.

Arissa smiled and asked, “Did you shower with the kids?”

As Benjamin was changing his clothes, he glanced at her and said, “They can shower on their own, so I showered in our bedroom!”

Arissa's gaze fell upon his muscular physique, unable to look away for even a moment. “Oh, I see... You should help them shower, you know? Don't act all superior in front of them. Try to be more approachable!”

“They wanted to compete with me to see who could shower faster. That's why we didn't shower together.”

Bathing the children was not a problem for him as he used to bathe Gavin as well.

Arissa smiled and asked curiously, “Let me guess... You were the fastest, right?”

She had witnessed how fast he could shower. He was so fast that he could finish showering within two minutes.

Benjamin slipped into his pajamas, a smile playing on his thin lips as he walked over. “You guessed wrong. The kids were faster than me! They had already finished showering and were waiting for me by the time I came out!”

Arissa burst into laughter and said, “You definitely went easy on them, didn't you?”

Benjamin laid down on his side, affectionately brushing her nose as he replied, “I just wanted to let them have their fun!”

“So, you want to be a doting father now?” Arissa teased him.

Benjamin looked at her and explained, “You are the kind mother, and I am the strict father. But you will only discipline them at night. They won't be able to sleep well if I treat them sternly at night.”

Arissa thought so as well. “Have they gone to sleep when you left the house?”

“Nope,” Benjamin replied.

Arissa looked up at him, his joyful expression piqued her curiosity.

Before she even asked, Benjamin told her, “Before I left, I had supper with them. The children saw me off.”

Arissa chuckled, looking at his cheerful demeanor. This man really is easily satisfied!

She couldn't help but tease him, “Did you forget how you ran to the bathroom at night?”
