You More Than Anything In The World

Chapter 1200 You Are Too Serious

Arissa looked at Benjamin with a puzzled expression. What does he mean? Does he mean that I believe everything the kids say?

Meeting her baffled gaze, Benjamin sighed softly and clarified, “I'm the one who bought the food.” Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

Arissa paused for a moment before she burst out laughing, playfully teasing him, “I thought you are referring to something else. I don't really care who bought the food.”

Benjamin snorted softly and then sat beside her. His gaze was fixated on her.

“Thank you for the pastries, Mr. Graham!” Arissa looked at him with a smile. This man really needs to have a bigger heart!

“Eat slowly!”

Benjamin felt somewhat better after hearing what Arissa said. He moved closer and wanted to feed Arissa, but the latter waved him off and insisted on eating by herself.

“Would you like to have some too?”

Benjamin shook his head. He noticed a smudge of sauce at the corner of Arissa's mouth and he took a tissue to wipe it off.

The six children fixed their gaze on Arissa, occasionally licking their lips and swallowing their saliva in anticipation.

Arissa noticed their longing gazes and smiled. “Sweethearts, come and join me too!”

“Mommy, we've already eaten. This is all for you.” Jesse shook her head. She didn't want to take any of her mother's food.

Arissa smiled and caressed Jesse's head before she cooed, “It's all right. I can't eat that much. Each of you come and take some for yourselves. We'll have dinner together later.”

The six children exchanged glances with each other before their eyes shifted toward Benjamin, seeking his approval. Arissa couldn't help but burst into laughter at their hilarious gesture.

“Thank you, Mommy!”

Arissa's smile grew wider. She felt content just by looking at them.

Benjamin was captivated by the radiant glow on Arissa's face. His gaze lingered on her, and a smile played on his lips.

Arissa turned her head as she felt his intense gaze on her. Her heart skipped a beat as she locked eyes with Benjamin.

“Why have you been gazing at me so intently?” she asked softly.

Benjamin's eyes shimmered with a mischievous glint. His thin lips curved into a subtle smile, and his voice carried a gentle tone. “To watch you eat.”

Arissa blushed, feeling a little embarrassed. Then, she lowered her head and continued eating.

Benjamin saw the faint blush that adorned her face. The corners of his mouth curved even deeper.

When Arissa heard his chuckle, she got annoyed and glared at him.

Her eyebrows gracefully arched, adding an enchanting allure to her already captivating beauty.

Benjamin's hand gently caressed her face. If it weren't for the presence of everyone around them, he would have leaned in and kissed her.

Arissa's heart raced as she met his passionate gaze, and her cheeks flushed even deeper.

She turned her head slightly, evading his touch, and spoke in a soft voice, “What are you up to?”

Benjamin smiled. He was usually quite reserved, and this rare sight instantly enchanted anyone who had the privilege of witnessing it.

Arissa's heart fluttered as she felt her soul drawn toward him.

Benjamin playfully pinched her cheek once more before retracting his hand.

The children sat and ate with the elders. They eagerly shared stories about their school and their time at the Watts residence, bringing smiles to the faces of Darius and Mary as they listened intently.

When it was time for dinner, Ethen got a dining table from somewhere and asked everyone to gather around. Ethen and Shaun also joined them at the table.

The six children encircled Arissa, diligently serving her food.

“Mommy, please eat more. We want you to get better soon!”

“This is delicious. Mommy, please eats more!”

“Thank you, Sweethearts!” Arissa was very pleased. “Please, help yourselves to more food. My plate is already full, so you can save the rest for yourselves.”

Shaun teased Arissa, “I envy you, Arissa. The kids adore you so much. They don't even serve us food.”

Arissa was beaming with joy. She looked at them with a smile, saying, “I'm their mommy, after all. It's only natural for them to care for me.”

“Boss is their father, but I don't see them serving him,” Shaun said while glancing at Benjamin.

Arissa turned to look at Benjamin. “Well, nobody asks him to be so serious all the time.”

Err... Benjamin couldn't come up with a retort.
