You More Than Anything In The World

Chapter 1340 Do Not Kick Mommy

Benjamin entered the children's bedroom and walked toward the direction of their raucous laughter sounding from the bathroom.

“Hurry up with your shower. Stop messing around!”

At the sudden sound of his voice, the children instinctively covered their bottoms with both hands. Their eyes grew wide as they stared at Benjamin, who had appeared at the door.

When he witnessed the children's panic, the corner of Benjamin's mouth twitched. “Do you need me to help you wash up?” he asked calmly.

The children shook their heads frantically. “We can manage on our own!”

“Wash yourselves thoroughly!” Benjamin instructed the children before turning around and walking away.

“What a fright that sneak attack gave me!” Jesse complained, eyeing the door as she hurriedly rinsed the foam off her body.

“Who was the last one to come in? Couldn't you have shut the bathroom door?” Zachary looked around at his siblings; he was the first one to enter.

Gavin glanced at them, then jogged over to close the bathroom door before returning to resume his shower.

“It was Jesse!” Jasper said loudly. The little girl was further in, taking a bath in the tub while the other five were taking a shower outside.

Upon hearing her name, Jesse quickly retorted, “I think it was you. When I came in, you went out to get your clothes!”


Jasper was left speechless.

Oliver burst into laughter. “I can testify to that!”

“What are you testifying to? Did you even see who it was?” Jasper glared at Oliver irritably; without his glasses, Oliver was practically blind.

Oliver smacked him, and Jasper buckled. He massaged his head where he had been struck.

“A true gentleman uses his words, not his fists!”

A roguish smile tugged at the corner of Oliver's lips. “So what if I'm not a gentleman?”

Jasper's face darkened. “Liar! Brute!” he muttered under his breath.

Tim watched them bicker, his eyes crinkling with amusement. “Stop messing around, you two,” he said, chuckling. “Hurry up and get cleaned up. Mommy is waiting for us!”

“Hurry up, hurry up!” Gavin urged the rest while quickening his own pace.

“Can you manage on your own, Jesse?” Gavin called out toward the bath.

“I can, Gavin!” Splashing about, Jesse wiped herself down with a towel.

After they were clean and dressed, they emerged to find Benjamin still in their room, which left them momentarily stunned.

“Why are you still here, Daddy? Do you have something to tell us?” Gavin looked at Benjamin, a little puzzled.

Benjamin glanced at them.

Noticing they were all clean, he instructed, “Go, spend some time with Mommy and keep an eye on her. Don't let her get out of bed and walk about. If she needs to use the bathroom, just call for me.”

The six children nodded and ran toward the door, shouting, “Got it!”

With a smile, Benjamin followed behind them. I'd better ask Arissa if she needs to use the restroom.

“Mommy! We're done showering. Aren't we quick?”

The children, smelling sweetly of soap, climbed onto the bed and snuggled into Arissa's embrace.
