You More Than Anything In The World

Once Arissa had settled down, the six children began to guide her toward the main house.

Jesse said, “Mommy, are you in a hurry?”

Oliver said, “Mommy, please hang in there!”

Jasper said, “Mommy, you better not wet your pants!”

Tim said, “Mommy, if you can't hold it in, I'll go get the urinal for you!”

Zachary said, “Mommy, hold on tight. Let's walk a little faster!”

Arissa was so amused by the children that she felt like she was going to pee herself from laughing so hard. Wiping the tears from the corner of her eyes, she said, “Slow down. You're making me feel even worse with all the shaking!”

Gavin said, “Mommy, should I call someone over to carry you inside?”

“No need. Just slowly push me back will do!” She could hold on a bit longer. She'd feel embarrassed if others were called. It seems it would be better not to drink too much water in the garden in the future.

They had just returned to the vicinity of the entrance when they saw Benjamin's car pull up.

“It's Daddy!”

“Mr. Graham is back!”

The kids were brimming with excitement, eagerly hopping and waving toward Benjamin, signaling him to hurry up.

“Hurry up!”

Benjamin saw the children waving and calling out to him. Unsure of what was happening, he pressed on the accelerator, speeding toward the entrance.

Squeak!

The tires screeched against the pavement, followed closely by the sound of Benjamin getting out and closing the car door. He strode over to them, his voice laced with concern. “What happened?”

Arissa gave an awkward smile. “It's nothing.”

“Mommy needs to pee. Quickly carry her inside!” Zachary instructed Benjamin in a rapid-fire manner.

Benjamin glanced at the children, bent down, and lifted Arissa from the wheelchair. He strode toward the house. It was a much smoother journey than the wheelchair ride.

“It's more convenient for me to be at home, isn't it?” He looked down at the woman in his arms, who was too shy to meet his gaze.

Arissa didn't want to laugh anymore, fearing she couldn't hold it in. She glared at him.

“I can call someone else too!” She pouted a little, showing some stubbornness.

With a light hum, Benjamin carried her straight to the first-floor bathroom to let her pee.

“You're back pretty quick!” After finishing her business, Arissa was in the mood to chat with him.

Benjamin bent over to wash his hands, then he washed a handkerchief and used it to wipe her hands as well.

“The kids asked me to come back early for dinner, so I returned as soon as I finished with my work!”

With a smile, Arissa looked at his handsome face and said enviously, “The children called you?”

“Yes!” Benjamin glanced up at her, hung up the handkerchief, and then picked her up to go out.

“They were so happy to see me come home!” Arissa shared with a twinkle in her eyes.

Benjamin's thin lips lifted slightly. “I can see that!”

He carried her out, passing by the kitchen where everyone was still bustling about. It seemed dinner wouldn't be ready anytime soon.
