You More Than Anything In The World
Chapter 534

Shaun looked over. "Are you going to see Mrs. Graham?"

Benjamin merely hummed in response without turning his head around.

Shaun could not help but chuckle. Is he acknowledging it already?

When Benjamin entered the lounge, a sleeping Arissa came into view. She was in a deep sleep, and her mouth was wide open.

As Arissa rolled over, the blanket fell to the side.

Seeing that, Benjamin walked over and placed the blanket over her. Just as he was about to turn around to deal with some work at the side, his clothes were tugged at by Arissa.

He cast a gaze downward to look at the woman who was sound asleep.

"Don't leave." The gentle voice sounded pitiful. Anyone who heard it would surely feel bad.

Benjamin's gaze softened. He sat down at tapped on her nose. "Ah, you look cute only when you're asleep."

When she was awake, every word she uttered had the potential to drive him up the wall.

Thinking he was her son, Arissa stretched out her arms and hugged him.

She wrapped her arms tightly around his waist and even rubbed her face against his body, feeling a sense of blissfulness.

Benjamin narrowed his eyes as his gaze darkened.

His Adam's apple bobbed as he swallowed hard, trying his best to suppress the reverie in his mind. He then gently leaned beside the bed.

"Sweetheart," Arissa murmured.

The corner of Benjamin's lips lifted, feeling delighted.

Unfortunately, that feeling only lasted for a few seconds. After hearing Arissa's next words, he froze instantly.

"Mommy really loves you!"

He glared at the sleeping woman, not realizing the jealousy that was displayed all over his face.

Her words would have sounded better without the word "mommy."

How dare she take me for her son?

Benjamin snorted inwardly.

However, when he saw her rubbing her face against himself, his displeasure dissipated, feeling comforted by her actions.

He then pulled the blanket over her and started looking through the documents using his phone. Perhaps it was Arissa's snoring that affected his work efficiency.

After forcefully reading through one document, he tossed his phone aside and lay down as well.

When he brought the children back to the hotel, he barely had any time to take a nap.

Benjamin pinched Arissa's nose gently, causing the latter to grumble defensively and turn her head away.

Shortly after, she turned her head back and hugged him tightly.

Her familiar fragrance entered Benjamin's nostrils, which gave him a calming effect. Not long after, he fell asleep, too.

Meanwhile, the children wanted to see if their mother was asleep or not. To their surprise, they saw them hugging each other to sleep.

Looks of surprise were displayed on their faces.

"I'm going to take a picture as proof!" Oliver took out his phone cheekily and took a picture of the scene before him.

"It's Mommy who's hugging Mr. Graham!" Jesse told her brothers.

"Mr. Graham is also hugging Mommy!" Jasper stared at the two adults on the bed without blinking.

Seeing Arissa was still sleeping, Jesse gestured for his siblings to go out. "Let's go out first. Mommy's still sleeping."

"We'll come back later." Gavin, too, pulled Tim out of the room.

Tim gave Benjamin and Arissa a glance. "Is it weird for Mr. Graham to sleep with Ms. York?"

Immediately, Gavin, Zachary, Oliver, Jasper, and Jesse looked at him.

Tim did not understand why they were so surprised.

Nathan's parents sleep on the same bed in the village, too! Mr. Graham and Ms. York are our parents. Of course, they should be sleeping together, right?

"Tim, Mr. Graham and Mommy's relationship aren't... very close," Zachary explained while walking out. "Mommy didn't know him in the past. She didn't know him even when she gave birth to us. She only came to know him when she came looking for Gavin and you."

Tim was dumbfounded when he heard that. "If they didn't know each other, then why would they have..."

He stared at the rest of the children.

Jasper cleared his throat, his face turning slightly red. "They were set up and made a mistake. That's why we're here."

"Huh?" Tim was puzzled, not sure if he understood it correctly.

Nonetheless, Gavin continued pulling him out of the room.

Once the six children sat on the bench in the passageway, Gavin and the others took turns explaining Arissa's relationship with Benjamin to Tim.
