You More Than Anything In The World novel Chapter 284

Chapter 284 Wait For One More Day

Benjamin glanced at her before lowering his head and continuing with his work.

Arissa’s lips curled into a smile. So he hasn’t eaten the medicine yet.

Without delay, she went to take his medicine and poured a glass of water.

Then, she walked into Benjamin’s study. “Here. Eat this first before you continue your work.”

Benjamin furrowed his brows. “Just put it there. I’ll eat it later.”

Seeing that he was reluctant to eat the medicine, Arissa persuaded gently, “If you don’t eat the medicine now, you won’t recover fast. The kids will be worried seeing you like this.”

Benjamin lifted his head and stared at Arissa. She handed the medicine and the glass of water to him.

“Will the kids worry about me?”

Maybe Gavin will, but that brat is ignoring me even now.

“Of course! If the kids find out about this, Gavin will definitely be the one who worries about you the most!”

Even though they said they didn’t like him, I bet they’ll be concerned if they find out that he’s sick.

“Really? I doubt so.” Benjamin scoffed. Regardless, he still took the medicine and ate it.

Arissa smiled and asked, “Are you picking them up tonight?”

Seeing her eagerness to see the kids, Benjamin pursed his lip slightly, “No. I’m fetching them back tomorrow.”

“Why?”

Arissa could not wrap her head around it. Didn’t he promise his father that he would pick up the kids tonight if possible? Why did he change his mind again? Since we’re already back, we can get them anytime.

“Dad seldom has the chance to hang out with them. Let them stay there with him for a while more.”

Benjamin spoke his mind before returning to look through his work.

Arissa bit her lip and turned around to go out.

“You should rest early,” she reminded before heading back upstairs.

She changed into her pajamas, getting ready to take a nap.

Just then, Gavin’s call came in.

Arissa immediately sat upright and answered the video call.

“Sweetheart!”

Her heart melted the instant she saw her son’s face.

“Mommy, did you call me just now?”

Gavin rubbed his eyes lazily, seemingly just woken up.

“Yes. Were you sleeping?”

Gavin glanced at Arissa’s background, and his eyes lit up. “Mommy, are you at home?”

Arissa did not expect Gavin to notice that. “Yes, I am.”

The four of them got overwhelmed with excitement at that.

“Mommy, we’ll go back to look for you then!”

Arissa blinked slightly. That works.

“But aren’t you guys going to accompany Grandpa anymore?”

“We can accompany him any other time. Today is the weekend. We want to be with you, Mommy!”

Upon saying that, Gavin jumped right off the bed, getting ready to freshen up.

“Mommy, wait for us! We’ll see you in a while!”

With that, Zachary headed toward the bathroom as well.

“Mommy, we’ll go wash our faces. Bye!” Oliver followed behind his brothers.

“Mommy, please wake Jesse! I’ll go wash my face too!”

Jasper giggled as he placed the phone facing Jesse.

Arissa was amused to see Jesse’s face at such a close distance.
