You More Than Anything In The World novel Chapter 185

Chapter 185 Hiding In The Countryside

Looking at the bunch of excited kids, Arissa was glad that she brought them here.

The initial destination was an old village. However, she suddenly recalled having bought a farmhouse in the past, so they came here instead.

After all, she was familiar with the area. As long as they had enough food and water, this would be a safe place for them to hide.

Hm… We need to store some grains. As for vegetables, we can plant some ourselves. I think we can avoid Benjamin for some time if we are self-sufficient.

The previous owner of the farmhouse was selling the property as they intended to migrate out of the country. Arissa came across the notice and decided to take the opportunity to purchase it.

The farmhouse was located in a relatively remote area, and there were rarely outsiders. Thus, it would not be easy for Benjamin to track them down.

Soon, the kids returned from a stroll around the farmhouse. They were beyond satisfied and could not stop complimenting it.

Jasper said, “Mommy, it’s so beautiful here! There’s a clear stream just behind the house!”

Oliver chimed in, “Mommy, I saw some fishes and shrimp in the stream!”

Jesse cut in, “There are snails too!”

“Mommy, the air is so fresh!” Zachary commented.

Gavin exclaimed, “I love this place so much! Is this where you grew up, Mommy?”

Arissa was relieved that the kids were satisfied with their new place.

“No. I passed by during one of my travels. I thought it was great so I bought it!”

It had been some time since she made the purchase. Five years ago, she got into trouble shortly after leaving this place. Hence, she had never returned after buying the farmhouse.

However, when she was abroad, she would often hire people to clean the place once every few months.

Arissa guided the kids into the house. It was rather neat but dusty as it had been vacant for a long time.

The last time it was cleaned was a few weeks ago.

“Let’s get some rest, kids. Mr. Hinton will be back soon with some food, and we’ll clean the place up once we’ve eaten.”

“Why don’t we clean now, Mommy?” suggested Zachary.

Arissa chuckled. “Aren’t you all tired?”

The kids shook their heads and answered in unison, “No!”

All of them groaned about hunger in the car. Now, they were energized.

“Okay. Let’s do some cleaning!”
