You More Than Anything In The World

“How long has Oliver been inside? Zachary, go check if he has diarrhea,” Arissa instructed her eldest son. She was concerned that her children could not acclimatize to the weather back home. “Okay!” Zachary went off to rush his brother. Arissa looked around for the aforementioned store, but she could not find it. “Jesse, where did Jasper go to buy cotton candy?” “Mommy, it’s over there! The one with a blue plane!” Jesse pointed toward a direction as she spoke with a missing front tooth. Arissa scanned the surrounding for a bit before finally spotting the cotton candy store.

Nevertheless, there was no sign of Jasper, much to her dismay. She could not see clearly as there was an influx of people moving around the airport. Arissa had no choice but to wait for Oliver’s return before she could start searching for Jasper. At last, Zachary came out of the restroom with Oliver. After waiting for a few moments, Arissa brought her three little ones along in search of Jasper while hauling their luggage. When they arrived at the cotton candy store, however, there was no sign of Jasper. Arissa could not help but worry for his safety. After all, her children were still unfamiliar with this place. “Where is he?” she asked impatiently. “Could Jasper have run off to buy something else?”

Zachary frowned. “Let’s wait for him a little longer!” Arissa reassured her children while trying to convince herself that Jasper would return soon. As time passed, he still did not show up. Could it be that he went back to the restroom to look for us? Just when Arissa thought about going back to search for Jasper, a familiar figure suddenly ran toward them. She breathed a sigh of relief and embraced the little boy tightly. Gavin Graham froze in shock after getting hugged by an affectionate woman who was a complete stranger to him. “Oh, my gosh! You almost scared your mommy to death! Didn’t I tell you to wait for me? Why are you running around in a place like this?” Arissa reprimanded.

“That’s right! We thought you had disappeared! If you still didn’t return, Mommy was going to use the airport’s public address system to find you!” Oliver chimed in. Mommy? This word caused a ripple in Gavin’s heart. He was shell-shocked when he saw Oliver’s face. That was because they looked like carbon copies of each other. Furthermore, there were two other children next to him. Both of them looked the same. Who are they? And why do they resemble me so much? Could they be… Gavin was rendered speechless at the sight of the three siblings.

Arissa’s doting gaze was on him. Is she my mommy? Gavin kept looking back and forth between Arissa and the three siblings, who resembled him. He was convinced that his instinct was correct. That mom isn’t my real mommy. This lady

Jasper? Zachary was shocked as a thought dawned on him. “Where did you go just now?” he whispered in Gavin’s ears. Zachary’s suspicion grew ever since Gavin said he could not find the location of the cotton candy store. “I… There were too many people!” Gavin had not calmed down from the earlier shock. He was more cold and aloof than Jasper, who had

They were overjoyed to the point that they did not notice the odd conversation between the other two siblings. Gavin’s heart skipped a beat as he

Oliver could not help giggling at the silly sight of his youngest sibling. “Jesse, your face is a mess right now!” he teased. “Eat slowly.” Arissa chuckled. She then wiped Jesse’s face before giving the
