Jesse also lunged toward her and said, “Mommy, you're our favorite!”
Arissa was over the moon with five of the kids all hugging her.
“I like you guys as well!” She patted all their heads affectionately before looking at Tim with anticipation.
Tim bit his lip and was filled with envy when he saw them hugging each other.
Gavin noticed that, so he wiggled out of Arissa's embrace and went to Tim before dragging him over.
“Mommy, do you like Tim?” Gavin asked.
“I do!” Arissa smiled with her reddened eyes.
She took the initiative and asked, “Tim, do you like me?” At that moment, she was overwhelmed with nervousness and anticipation.
Tim glanced at her and nodded. He could feel the love Arissa had for him after spending some time with her.
Arissa was stunned. Did Tim just admit to liking me?
She was at a loss because his reaction had definitely caught her off-guard.
“Mommy, wake up! Tim said he likes you!” Zachary poked Arissa's face amusingly.
Arissa regained her composure and quickly hugged Tim before kissing his cheek.
“I like you so much, Sweetheart! Thank you for liking me! I'm so glad!” Arissa was so happy that she couldn't stop kissing Tim.
If not for Tim's tanned skin, everyone there would've seen him bushing uncontrollably.
Shaun and the others were amused by their sweet interaction.
Benjamin, on the other hand, furrowed his brows because he felt neglected. “All right! That's enough lovey-dovey for a day. Let's go!”
Benjamin couldn't help but say something to break them up. God knows how long they're going to keep this up!
Arissa shot Benjamin a look and hugged the kids for a while more before bringing them out of the private room. “Let's go to the hospital to check on Mdm. Mary, Sweethearts!”
“Okay! Let's go, Mommy!” The six kids held her hands and got out of there while Benjamin trailed behind them.
Shaun then approached Benjamin from behind and teased, “Benjamin, Mrs. Graham doesn't lack suitors, you know?”
Benjamin glared at him and asked in a deep voice, “What? You like her, too?”
“Of course!” Shaun answered swiftly, but he immediately felt that he could've said something wrong. “I like Mrs. Graham, but it's not like what you think. It's purely platonic!” he quickly explained.
Benjamin glared at him in response before shifting his gaze back toward the person in front of him.
“Benjamin, perhaps you should mind your tone when you speak to women. Also, since you care so much about Mrs. Graham, you should just confess your feelings to her. There's nothing to be ashamed of! If you keep this up, Mrs. Graham might end up thinking that you despise her,” Shaun urged.
“As if you're so experienced in this area!” Benjamin retorted.
Shaun then scowled at Benjamin and grumbled, “No wonder Mrs. Graham doesn't like you!”
Benjamin frowned and glared at him. “What did you say?”
Shaun immediately walked away and avoided irritating him further.
Benjamin then turned around and glanced at Ethen. In response, Ethen quickly lowered his gaze and pretended like he didn't see Benjamin looking at him. Don't ask me! I don't know anything!
Bradley could feel Benjamin's frightening aura, so he avoided him right away and went after Shaun. “Dr. Bailey, is Mdm. Mary's condition serious?”
“The test results aren't ready yet, but everything seems okay for now!” Shaun then glanced at him and asked, “How long have you known Mrs. Graham?”
Hearing that, Bradley chuckled and answered, “I've known her for a long time. Boss is really impressive, and she's practically my idol!”
“Why do you say so?” Shaun asked curiously.
“Umm...” Bradley hesitated because he didn't dare to expose Arissa's identity. “I don't know how to describe it, but she's just impressive! Besides, it's Boss' secret, so I can't reveal more!”
“You're quite tight-lipped, aren't you?” Shaun answered.
