You More Than Anything In The World

Chapter 1139

Benjamin's gaze had been fixed on Arissa, and his brows scrunched together deeply seeing that her mood was affected by Miranda.

“Shall I get someone to teach her a lesson?”

Arissa was promptly taken aback. She looked at him and smiled. “No need!”

She could handle Miranda herself, and there was no need for Benjamin to intervene.

Benjamin tightened his grip on her hand and uttered softly, “Just let me know if you need any help.”

I'll always be her strongest pillar of support no matter what.

Arissa understood his intention, and she felt a warm feeling spreading in her chest. “Okay. I know!”

Benjamin took her to the children, who had been playing in the garden with Mary for a while.

The children looked at them gleefully when they saw them coming.

Jasper teased, “Mommy, why are you and Mr. Graham taking such a long time? Did you go on a date in secret?”

Arissa was nonplussed, and she smacked Jasper on the head. “Would we be here if we really went on a date?”

Oliver giggled and added cheekily, “That's not necessarily true. We won't be able to see you if you guys

went on a date there.”

Arissa met Mary's twinkling gaze. Her face flushed, and she explained, “He was taking a call, so I waited for him. We then came over together.”

Gavin, Tim, Zachary, and Jesse's eyes moved back and forth between them. Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

Arissa signaled for Benjamin to agree with her, but the latter remained silent. His eyes twinkled as he watched her get teased by the children.

Arissa was not amused and she covertly pinched Benjamin's palm.

The children probably think I'm lying if he doesn't clarify it. Hmph! Men are unreliable.

“Let's go. Let's take Grandaunt to the front where it's more spacious!”

Arissa stepped forward and pushed Mary's wheelchair. She wanted to take Mary for a stroll by the lake.

“Let me do that.” Benjamin wanted to give her a hand, but Arissa did not let him.

Mary felt dubious when she saw Benjamin staring anxiously at Arissa. She turned to look at Arissa. “Issa, let Benjamin handle this.”

“Grandaunt, it's fine. It's not tiring to push your wheelchair,” Arissa responded with a smile. She then threw a glare at Benjamin. He's always making a fuss out of nothing. My body is fine, and there's no problem with normal daily activities. It's not like I'm doing labor work.

Mary scrutinized Arissa, and she did not know if it was her imagination. “Issa, have you been tired lately? You look a bit anemic!”

Arissa was stunned. Grandaunt can tell?

“You have to take care of yourself and not just focus on your work. You should eat more supplements to replenish your vitality. Women need to nourish themselves every month; otherwise, it will be easy to fall sick.” Mary thought Arissa's exhaustion was due to work and lack of nutrition.

She continued to share her experiences. “You can drink soup after that time of the month finishes. You can add tonic or drink more chicken soup once you get used to doing that.”

Arissa felt her cheeks reddening as she peeked at Benjamin. She felt amused to see him slightly bewildered.

“I know, Grandaunt. Don't worry about me. You have to take care of yourself at the hospital. Tell me if there's anything you need. Don't worry about troubling me. I am not afraid of taking the trouble. We can only be happy if you get better.”

Gratification swept over Mary, and she nodded with a smile. “Okay!”

Arissa helped her out of the wheelchair, and the children rushed forward to help support Mary for a walk by the lake.

Arissa and Benjamin followed behind them, and their eyes were fixed on the children and Mary.

“What does that time of the month mean?” Benjamin could not help but ask, as he had heard of this

phrase a few times before.

Arissa grinned and looked at Benjamin's slightly embarrassed look with sparkling eyes.

“It means a woman's period.”

“Why is it called that time of the month?” Benjamin's brows were tightly knitted, as he was still confused. What does a women's period have to do with the time of the month? I have completely misunderstood the meaning.

Arissa's lips twitched. “I don't know. That's just what people call it. You can look it up!”
