You More Than Anything In The World novel Chapter 519

Arissa looked at her and pinched her nose affectionately. “I'll order later because I don't know what your daddy has ordered!”

“Then what are you looking at, Mommy?”

Jesse tilted her head and looked at her, blinking her eyes in the cutest way.

Arissa leaned over and kissed her on the cheek. The fresh smell of milk on the child was especially pleasant.

Benjamin came upon the scene and saw the affectionate behavior. Then, he looked at the other children.

With the exception of Tim, who was watching Jesse's antics with Arissa, the other children were quite used to it.

Arissa kissed Jesse, and then she kissed her mother back. The mother and daughter were happily teasing each other.

“Tim, come and give me a kiss!”

Seeing Tim staring at them, Arissa called to him affectionately.

Tim shook his head and blushed but no one noticed that because of his dark complexion.

Arissa smiled dotingly.

Feeling another pair of eyes was on her, she turned around and met Benjamin's gaze.

“Come and have a seat!”

Benjamin invited everyone to the table.

“Come on, let's start eating!”

Shaun called out to the others and brought them over.

Ethen and Bradley went over and helped the children get onto their seats. Then, he went to wash his hands.

“You sit here!”

Benjamin led Arissa to the table and pulled out the chair for her.

Arissa looked at him.

“I want to sit with Mommy!”

Jesse quickly booked the seat next to Arissa. She had barely sat down when she noticed Tim.

“Tim, why don't you sit with Mommy?”

Tim shook his head. “No, it's alright!”

Jesse laughed joyfully. “Tim, you sit next to me, then!”

Tim looked at Jesse. “I'll sit here!”

“Come over here, Tim!”

Jasper offered his seat to Tim so that the latter could sit with Jesse and their mommy.

“There's no need. You go ahead!” Tim waved his hand.

Jasper smiled and went over to lead him. “Come on. I'll change seats with you!”

“Do come over here!” Arissa called out to her son.

Jasper led Tim to the seat next to their sister.

As Benjamin went over and carried the child up to set him down on the chair, Tim looked at him. “Thank you, Mr. Graham!”

Benjamin pinched his cheek. Then, he saw that Jasper was not seated properly.

He went and put him properly in his seat. “Everyone is seated properly now!”

Jasper glanced at Benjamin. “Thank you, Mr. Graham!”

Benjamin cast him a helpless glance, grunted and went back to his seat beside Arissa.

Shaun laughed as he looked at the caring way Benjamin was behaving. “Benjamin, you are becoming more and more like a father!”

Benjamin cast him a sidelong glance.

“Do you mean that I was not like one previously?” he snorted.

Shaun laughed. “You were not so caring. Isn't that so, Gavin?”

Gavin looked up at Benjamin and nodded.

Seeing that, Benjamin twitched his lips.

Arissa looked at him and agreed with Shaun. “Previously, you were nothing close to being fatherly!”

Benjamin glared at her.

Arissa shifted her eyes from him onto the children.

When the soup arrived, Ethen and Bradley helped to serve the younger children.

“Sweethearts, be careful! The soup is hot, so drink it slowly!”

Arissa leaned forward, watching out for the children.

“Yes, Mommy!”“

Gavin nodded.

The other five young siblings responded in unison.

“Yes, Mommy!”

“Yes, Ms. York!”

Arissa watched them with a smile on her face.

Only when everyone received a serving of the soup, did Benjamin give the signal for them to start eating.

Tim sat there and did not move when he saw the adults had not eaten yet.

Arissa observed Tim for a few moments. “Sweetheart, go ahead.”

“Okay!” the child responded.

“Come on. Go ahead!”

She stretched out her hand and stroked his head, speaking gently.

Tim lowered his head and started drinking the soup.

“Be careful. It's hot!”

Arissa alerted him again. When he nodded, she repeated her words to her other children.

“Don't just think about them, you should have your soup too!”

Benjamin turned to her and told her in a low voice.
