You More than Anything in the World (Arissa)

Chapter 104 Nightgown

Irritation surged within Benjamin as he glared at the closed door.

Does she not welcome me here? How dare she shut me out!

Ethen, who was standing behind Benjamin, did not anticipate that Arissa would close the door just like that.

He suppressed his laughter as he stood outside with Benjamin.

“Open the door this instant!” Benjamin shouted again, his face darkened.

Leaning on her back against the door, Arissa patted her chest in an attempt to calm down.

“Mr. Graham, I’m sorry to keep you waiting. I’m wearing a nightgown. Please wait while I get changed.”

With that, she dashed toward the dining table.

The children turned to look at her at the same time.

Out of curiosity, Zachary asked, “Mommy, who’s here? Why didn’t you open the door?”

At a loss, Arissa said to them, “Shh! It’s Benjamin. I need you all to hide. Quickly!”

The five kids were rendered speechless.

Oliver’s eyes lit up. Daddy’s here?

“Mommy, is it Daddy? Let him in and join us.”

Arissa’s lips twitched. As if I don’t know what you are thinking about!
