You More Than Anything In The World novel Chapter 539

Zachary pulled out his phone and showed it to Tim. “This is what surfing the internet means—using the phone or a computer to do such things.”

“Oh!” Tim nodded, finally understanding the meaning.

Though their voices were soft, Arissa heard everything, and it left an ache in her heart.

They lived in the same world, yet Tim looked as though he had been living in another.

It was as if he was living in a world that existed a couple of decades back. He had never seen anything and had been living a poor life.

She lowered her head, shoving food into her mouth robotically as her heart ached terribly.

Even her vision started to blur.

When the children found out Tim had not seen such devices, they explained it enthusiastically to him. They even taught him how to use a phone.

Meanwhile, Benjamin fixed his gaze on Arissa when he saw her behaving oddly. “Arissa! Arissa?”

The six children turned to look over.

Sensing the movements, Arissa quickly wiped the corner of her eyes and lifted his head to look Benjamin swiftly in the eye.

Right then, he stood up. “Follow me.”

Realizing his tone was a little forceful, he spoke in a gentler tone. “Please come out for a while. Make sure you guys eat your food.”

His final sentence was a reminder for the kids.

Arissa was a little dejected, and it was not appropriate to scare the children. Hearing that, Arissa rose to her feet to exit the lounge.

“Mommy, what's wrong?” Gavin cast her a worried look.

“It's nothing.” Arissa smiled and followed Benjamin out.

The six children stared at them while Jasper scolded himself, “Did Mommy cry because of me?”

Jesse pursed her lips. “If she were to cry because of that, she would've cried long ago. She must've thought of something sad.”

Zachary glanced at his silly siblings, and a glint flashed past his eyes. “Hurry up and eat. We can just ask Mommy later.”

Jasper and Jesse looked at him and turned to the door.

Oliver and Tim were confused.

Why did Mommy cry?

Gavin frowned and fixed his eyes on the outside. “I'm going to take a look. You guys continue eating.”

After giving them the instructions, he crept over and hid behind the door.

Zachary could not help but chuckle at his brother's actions. Even Gavin's learning all the bad habits. He knows how to eavesdrop now.

“Tim, let's eat!” Zachary called out to Tim warmly and handed him some food.

Meanwhile, Arissa almost bumped into Benjamin outside.

Noticing that, he helped her up.

Arissa felt slightly embarrassed. “Sorry!”

When Benjamin noticed she was feeling down, he could not bring himself to scold her.

“Are you sad?” A gentle voice rang in the air, leaving Arissa stunned and wondering if she had misheard it.

She lifted her head to look at Benjamin, who raised his brow. “Why are you crying if you're not sad?”

She returned to her senses, feeling embarrassed. “Of course, I'm sad. I feel bad for my son!”

Benjamin sighed and patted her head.

When Arissa felt his concern, her heart raced.

“It's normal for him to not be exposed to such things in the village. You'll just have to make sure to teach him slowly in the future.”

Arissa nodded. Of course, she knew that. She just could not help but feel bad for her child.

“Do you need me to lend you a shoulder to cry on?” Benjamin lifted her chin.

Stunned, Arissa swatted his hand away and grumbled, “It's fine.”

Benjamin snickered upon seeing her reddened face.

His reaction only made her blush even more.

“Go in and eat with them. I'm going to look for Shaun,” Benjamin informed her and turned around to leave.

Arissa watched him as he left. Did Benjamin call me out to comfort me?

A heartwarming feeling filled her.

Seeing that Arissa was about to return to the lounge, Gavin quickly ran back in with a smile on his face.

Not bad. At least Daddy did something right.

“What did you hear?” Zachary and the others asked upon seeing Gavin's return.

Gavin placed a finger in front of his mouth and shushed them.

In the next second, Arissa entered the lounge.

Meanwhile, Zachary felt calmer when he saw that Gavin's mood had lifted.

“Mommy, why did Mr. Graham ask you to go out? What did he say?” he asked Arissa while looking at her without blinking.
