You More Than Anything In The World
Chapter 518

"No, we'll wait for Mommy!" Jesse answered with an unwavering smile.

Oliver, Jasper, and Tim also stood at the door, not wanting to leave without their mother.

Arissa couldn't help but smile. When she saw her the two older children come out of the restroom, she quickly called them over. "Come and wash your hands!"

"We'll do it ourselves, Mommy. Why don't you use the restroom too?" Zachary replied as he and Gavin went to the sink to wash up on their own.

"Go on, Mommy. We'll wait for you!" Gavin urged.

Grinning, Arissa patted their heads and went off to relieve herself.

Right then, Benjamin popped into the restroom and saw all six kids gathered beside the sink.

As it turned out, Gavin and Zachary were teaching Tim how to use the faucet, and the latter bashfully followed their instructions.

When he brought his hand under the faucet and saw the water coming out automatically, Tim widened his eyes in amazement.

"Wow! How did the water come out?"

"It's because there's a sensor inside. Whenever you bring your hand up to the faucet, the sensor will detect it and turn on the water valve, thus letting the water flow out," Zachary patiently explained. "However, the water will only flow for about ten seconds before it stops. If you haven't finished washing, you'd have to wave your hand in front of the sensor to activate it again."

"What are those for, then?" Tim asked as he pointed at the bottles on the sink.

This time around, it was Gavin who helped with the explanation. "Those bottles contain liquid hand wash! You use it by squeezing some onto your hands!"

The next second, he went on to show Tim how to use the hand dryer. "After washing your hands, you can put them under this machine to dry them!"

Naturally, Tim was blown away by everything. "That's so amazing! We don't have these in our village!"

Jasper, Oliver, and Jesse stared at their brother, feeling rather sorry for him.

"Oh, I'm sure these will show up in the village soon. In the past, the city didn't have such fancy gadgets either. There are always newly developed items popping up, and even I have to figure out how to use them!" Zachary reassured.

Just then, Benjamin walked up to the kids. "Well, have you all washed your hands?"

The kids immediately turned to look at him, with Tim looking especially red in the face.

Benjamin gently tousled the boy's hair. "It's okay. You'll get the hang of these things once you've had more practice. Feel free to ask your siblings if you have any questions."

"Okay!" Tim said, nodding sheepishly.

Benjamin looked at the kids and turned to Gavin. "Gavin, take everyone outside and show Tim around."

"Let's go, Tim!" Gavin exclaimed while pulling him out.

After tossing a glance at Benjamin, Zachary proceeded to shepherd the rest of his siblings out.

Jasper and Oliver promptly left the restroom, but Jesse stayed on, staring at the cubicle.

"I want to wait for Mommy!"

"She'll join you guys once she's finished here. Go wait outside for her!" Benjamin persisted.

My goodness. Why is the youngest one constantly clinging to Arissa?

Realizing that her brothers had all left, Jesse took one last look at Benjamin and ran out.

When Arissa finally came out of the cubicle, she was shocked to see that the kids were gone and only Benjamin was there.

"Are you here to use the restroom?" she asked.

Benjamin merely grunted an acknowledgment as he went straight into the cubicle.

Arissa began washing her hands, but it wasn't long before she heard him relieving himself. At that, the corners of her mouth twitched.

This man has no shame at all! Can't he wait till I've gone out?

With that, she picked up the pace and hastily left the restroom.

Meanwhile, Shaun, Ethen, and Bradley were playing with the kids and introducing the high-tech products to Tim.

Arissa smiled at the sight and turned to the three men. "Do you guys know what Benjamin has ordered?"

Shaun shook his head. "I'm only here for a free meal. I don't know what he's ordered."

"I think Mr. Graham was the one who booked this restaurant. I have no clue either," Bradley chimed in with a shrug.

Arissa instantly looked at Ethen, who couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Okay, I was the one who booked the restaurant, but Mr. Graham personally picked all the dishes himself. Not even I have any idea what he ordered!"

Left without a choice, Arissa took her seat. I was hoping to order more of the kids' favorite dishes, but I guess I'll have to ask him when he's back.

Then, she picked up the menu and started flipping through it.

"Mommy, I want dessert!" Jesse exclaimed as she snuggled up to Arissa.
