Arissa nodded as she ruffled Tim’s head.

“Don’t worry, Sweetheart. Your grandma is just getting some checks done.”

Tim nodded obediently.

Arissa answered with a smile, “Mary is your family, which means she’s also my family. Let’s accompany her together.”

She gently caressed Tim’s face lovingly.

Tim blinked his eyes as warmth spread through him.

Tim lowered his head as a response, and Arissa’s heart sank with it.

However, Tim nodded his approval a few minutes later.

Arissa’s mood brightened again with excitement.

She immediately retrieved Tim from Benjamin’s embrace with glee.

“Sweetheart, I’ve been wanting to carry you for a while now.”

Throwing any concern out the window, Arissa planted a few kisses on Tim’s cheeks.

“Sweetheart, I finally get to carry you.”
