You More Than Anything In The World

CHAPTER 1090 THE CHILDREN IGNORED BENJAMIN

Benjamin watched the children climb onto the bed before reminding them, “Don't crush your mommy!”

The children turned back to him before adjusting their positions.

There were two children by Arissa's side and two by her feet. She lay comfortably on the bed as the children gave her a massage.

“Mommy, does it feel good?”

“It does.” Arissa smiled at the children. “How was school today?”

“Mommy...” The children then took turns telling her about the interesting things that happened to them at school, and Arissa enjoyed every moment of it.

Benjamin poured glasses of water for the children before putting them on the coffee table. “Come over and have some water.”

The children did not move and continued talking to Arissa.

Arissa chuckled. Only when they were about to finish their stories did she remind them, “Your daddy's asking you to have some water. Go on.”

“All right, Mommy.” Gavin led the rest of his siblings down the bed to put on their shoes.

“Slow down,” Arissa said, keeping a close eye on the children, afraid that they would fall.

The children nodded. Once they put on their shoes, they ran over to get their drinks.

Benjamin looked at them in silence the entire time.

When the children were done drinking, they put down the glasses and ran back to Arissa again.

“Are you kids not going to eat?” Benjamin asked.

The children ignored him, and he arched a brow in response.

With a smile on her face, Arissa glanced at Benjamin before looking back at the children. The children were already back to giving her a massage again.

“Sweethearts, are you hungry?”

They shook their heads in unison. “We're not, Mommy.”

“Mommy, what about you?” Tim asked.

“I'm not hungry too,” Arissa replied. Most of her time was spent sleeping and eating, so she was sure she had gained much weight over time.

Tim beamed, and Arissa noted that he looked much healthier nowadays.

Right then, William came over and realized the children were, indeed, with Arissa. “Mrs. Graham, you're awake?”

Arissa nodded. “I just woke up, and they came not long ago.”

As she spoke, she patted two of the children's heads.

“Hello,” the children greeted with smiles.

William's heart melted. “Hello, kids.”

Turning to Arissa, William then said, “Old Mr. Graham and I saw them earlier when we were downstairs. I figured they were with you, Mrs. Graham, but Old Mr. Graham thought they had gone to Shaun!”

Arissa smiled and asked, “Dad doesn't know I'm here, right?”

“No, I'm the only one who knows. Don't worry, Mrs. Graham. Old Mr. Graham doesn't know about this,” William reassured before asking her about her health. He only relaxed upon finding out that she was fine.

“Let's not let Dad find out about this yet. I don't want him to worry. How is he now?”

“Old Mr. Graham is doing much better. No worries, Mrs. Graham. You take care,” William said.

Knowing that Darius missed the children, Arissa said to the children, “Sweethearts, go to your grandpa's first. Otherwise, Grandpa will find out that I'm in the hospital too!”

“But I want to be with Mommy,” Jesse insisted.

Arissa ruffled her hair. “Keep Grandpa company for a while. You can sneak over to visit Mommy later, okay?”

“All right,” Jesse relented although she was still a little reluctant to do so.

Arissa pulled her over to give her a kiss. “Remember not to spill the beans, Sweethearts.”

“Don't worry, Mommy. We'll keep this a secret for you,” Zachary swore.

Arissa spent a little more time with the children before asking them to head to Darius' ward with the butler.

“Remember to keep Great-grandaunt company too,” she reminded.

“Mrs. Graham, Old Mr. Graham is currently with her,” William informed.

“Oh, that's good to hear,” Arissa said, inclining her head. That way, the children would not forget to visit Mary and make Mary feel left out. Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

“Mommy, rest well. We'll come back to keep you company later,” Tim whispered to her.

“Okay. Hurry up and visit Great-grandaunt and Grandpa now.”

“See you later, Mommy!” The children waved goodbye to her before following the butler downstairs.
