You More Than Anything In The World novel Chapter 149

Chapter 149 She Only Had Her Children In Mind

“How are you this charming, Sweetheart?”

Arissa sang Gavin’s praises as she was about to carry him down the stairs. She couldn’t resist the urge to pinch his squishy cheeks.

Gavin giggled in response. He behaved in a very cutesy manner whenever he was with Arissa.

He batted his long eyelashes, which made him appear all the more lovable and adorable.

Benjamin’s eyes flashed over in Gavin’s direction. He was slightly baffled by how different Gavin was in front of Arissa.

“Come over here! Daddy will carry you down the stairs!”

He quickly took Gavin into his arms when they reached the top of the stairs.

Arissa glanced over at him and felt that, contrary to his usual domineering appearance, Benjamin had a rather considerate side to him.

“Watch your step!”

Benjamin warned her with Gavin in one arm and the other on her back.

She blushed in embarrassment.

“Oh!” she exclaimed, dropping her head to look at the stairs.

Benjamin held onto her with his hand, which could feel how hot her skin was under her thin clothing.

She unconsciously picked up her pace, but it did not help put any distance between them.

Arissa’s cheeks were a rosy red.

She snuck a peek at Benjamin but saw that he kept his eyes forward with a cold straight face.

She averted her gaze and kept her feelings in check.

He’s just being nice!

Benjamin turned to look at her as they made it down the stairs.

He naturally retracted his hand before putting Gavin back down on the floor.

“Get over there yourself!”

His deep voice bore a serious tone.

Gavin glanced at Benjamin, then headed for the kitchen hand in hand with Arissa.

“Mommy, let’s go have breakfast!”

“Okay!”

Uncontrollably, Arissa always looked at Gavin with an abundance of love and affection.

Benjamin’s gaze glinted with emotion as it fell on Arissa’s smiling face.

While Arissa and Gavin went ahead, she could feel someone staring at her from behind, which made her heart beat faster.

However, she didn’t catch Benajmin staring at her when she tried to catch a glimpse from the surrounding reflective surfaces.

Arissa tended to Gavin’s breakfast. She stirred the broth to cool it down.

“Okay!”

Gavin nodded and scooped a spoonful of the broth. He blew it a few times before drinking it.

“Yummy!”

Arissa patted his head with a gentle grin.

Meanwhile, Benjamin was frowning at his breakfast that was different from Arissa and Gavin’s.

He turned to Edwin and instructed him coldly, “Get me a bowl of the broth!”

Edwin was startled. He looked toward Benjamin and said apologetically, “Mr. Graham, there isn’t any left.”

The folds between his brows tightened. He knew Arissa made a large portion.

He glared at Edwin and questioned, “Isn’t there a whole pot?”

Edwin turned to Arissa awkwardly.

She didn’t expect Benjamin to want any; seeing as Edwin was in a difficult position, she explained, “Graham, I thought you didn’t like having soup for breakfast, so I packed it all for Gavin to bring to school. If you really want some, Edwin can get you a bowl!”

With one look, Benjamin instantly knew what Arissa had in mind.

She wanted Gavin to bring the broth to school for the other children, didn’t she? All she ever thinks about is her children. Did she not think to at least make an extra serving for me?
